Not sure about the year but it looks like Starclassic Performers (all birch) natural birch finish.

and this is the link to the history of Tama catalogs which is also on the front page of the website

As a guy who has owned a Starclassic Performer(100% Birch Shells) and Starclassic Maple Kit, I am pretty sure what you have there is an early Tama Starclassic Performer which is 100% birch shells. Your pix are too small to see any fine details but it looks like they have the old Starclassic Starcast Mounts(Black Ones) which were done away with in late 2005/early 2006 when they switched over to thicker Starcast Mounts in chrome/black nickel/brushed nickel finish that are still currently on the market.

Great drums for studio and live performance. I absolutely love the punchiness and articualtion of the birch shells. As far as value goes, the Starclassic Performers are a bit cheaper than your Starclassic Maple line of drums. Unfortunately with the economy in the crapper, the used drum market sucks really bad, nothing is holding it's value and it's a buyer's market right now. Can't tell you how much money I lost on both of my mint condition 2009 and 2010 model Starclassic Kits. I barely got 60% of the value. I would estimate your kit being worth somewhere in the $700-$900 dollar range for a 4 piece shell pack minus matching snare but again only a guestimate based on Ebay sales and Craigslist asking prices.

Look like birch to me too. And with that bass drum tom mount I'd guess they were made somewhere from 2000-2002.

From the hardware on your drums it possible to narrow the possible years of manufacture down to between 1997 and 2003. So all of the drums from between those years can be cosmetically identical, meaningyou won't tell them apart by hardware alone. The finish, which looks to me like Amber Gold was available for all those years (and more) so it can't tell us anything either. The 100% birch shell wasn't introduced until 2000, so there is at least potential for your shell to be the hybrid.

There were a couple of different hybrid shells as well, but for the years in question, the tom shell was 8 ply, 6mm, birch inner and outer with 'Japanese basswood' making up the rest. Bass drum was thicker 9 ply, 7mm, so one extra baswwood layer. By contrast, the Birch shell was 6 ply, 6mm for toms and 7 ply, 7 mm for bass drums. So the shell thickness was the same for both shells, but the number of timber layers with be different.

Unfortunately my eyes aren't good enough to tell from your small photos to make a definite call, but I think I can see more than 6 layers, which would make it the birch/basswood shell.

Bottom line is sound.
