[QUOTE=TTTSNB]Suspension mounts hold the drum from the rim instead of piercing the shell, therefore they allow the drum to have its natural tone. The Superstar owns the Swingsatr, its worth it if you can afford it.[/QUOTE]
its sorta Like yess mounts

I got the Superstar as my second kit, been playing for about 5-6 years now. It's great and definitely worth the money if you're serious about playing.

What's with the bump?

Lol didn't even notice...

Yeah the swingstar should make you happy but honestly, this is just me now, I'd get a cheaper kit that way you would have money for cymbals because the ones the swingstar comes with suck, the hihat is manageable and the crash and ride are just, well they make you want to throw up.

[QUOTE=crazyguy832]So... many... choices...
Also... why would I need to worry about buying sticks? They're, like, 2/bucks a pair... 10 for a good one...[/QUOTE]
Because if you are just starting to play you will go through sticks really fast. Probably 1 week for the cheap sticks a month for the good ones..

My first sticks lasted a year and a half, you must have a bad technique problem or something. Swingstars are just the ultimate beginner set. But be aware, they come with all of Tama's lower end hardware, not the roadpro stuff that came with the rockstars, and comes with the superstars. Make sure you get the ready to rock swingstar pacakge, as that comes with stool and cymbals.
As for superstars, they are basically the rockstar with all the defects, which there wern't any, fixed. Looking now, i'd prefer a superstar because it has birch shells, but rockstars jsut pwn
