If u used the buy now price...Would equate to about...USD700 ish give or take?

Looks freekin awsome..Im very tempted

They looks nice, but those tom sizes are the only reason why 'I' wouldn't buy that set

EDIT: It looks like someone did that finish job themselves, and it looks a bit sketchy, enquire about the finish job to know what your getting.

[ian1988]

yea the mounetd toms are a little tall...that was the little dilema

[_Austin_]

...And the diameter intervals are uneven.

[ian1988]

No, Its 12,13,16

[moogoogaipan]

I wouldn't.

[Wizz]

Don't do it man you can get better for your money

[moogoogaipan]

It's going to end up costing around $1,000 anyway.
I bought my Tama Rockstar about 6 years ago for a tag price of $899 and it ended up costing over $1,200.
and now they are being sold for like $599... I got jipped.

Its in NZ prices guys :P Again.its about double or tripple after conversion and shipping etc etc

What i mean by the uneven intervals is that the difference between all the tom sizes is un even, Let me elaborate...

Difference between 12" and 13" is 1"
And the difference between 13" and 16" is 3"

Because the toms jump around in sizes in comparison to each other, i wouldnt buy this set... Of course some may prefer the uneven intervals, But i wouldnt spend that much money on a kit that has uneven intervals

I suppose i am a bit hypocritcal, I am still using an old export kit, with rock sizes (12,13,16,22)
But because i cant stand the jump in sizes, so i dont use the 13" tom. You can of course buy the kit and do this, but the extra tom is just a waste of money.

But its your decision :thumb:
Hope you make right one for you!

Yeah i get what you mean. I kinda wanna vennture into the rocksizes a little bit by purchasing a 16 from the states...at a dirt cheap price and a celarance tom they have locally. funny thing aswell i just realised..both the toms are the same colour :D.....so if i get the both of them i;d have a caramel bass with a 10,12,14 toms in the same colour and a 13',16' in custom blue/green....:D that will be one HELLL of a funky kit! and the added advantage is that i can switch between rock and fusion sizes...or make one massive kit.

Probly wont buy it seeing i havent got the funds...and the toms lenght would anoy the **** outta me...Seeing im a short guy..

Probly wont buy it seeing i havent got the funds...

:lol: It helps!

If you are looking into a new kit I recommend a 6 for 5 offer that quite a lof of manufacturers have on at the moment... On kits like: Mapex M Birch, Pearl EXR and a few others i think, Have a look into it.

Dont think those ofers are valid in NZ. I didnt want a new kit anyway. Just something I could use as a Giging kit or something i could refinish :) Ive already got a good kit :D
