You would have to ask someone who's much more familiar I'm not a Tama expert, but i did own a 3 piece original set of superstars that i sold for $500 about 12 years ago. Whatever the case, you certainly have a unique vintage Tama kit.Are you sure your kit is from the 80's ? Tama began manufacturing Superstars in 1978.įollow the link from vintage drum guide to see for yourself.Īs to the value of your kit, i can only speculate that there may be Tama collectors willing to pay decent money for a kit like yours, although i wouldn't put it passed the $800-$1000 range, maybe a little more. But custom orders were not uncommon for most drum manufacturers back then, so it could be possible that it is a custom.However a custom order for lugs to be added to concert toms wouldn't make any sense, because if the owner were to custom his kit directly through a Tama customer order, he would only have to get toms with bottom lugs that were already available in those sizes. The reason i suspect this, is because Tama never made drums with offset lugs, at least i've never seen such drums in any Tama catalog, or in person. Either a custom order for the original owner,(you ?) or a set that had concert toms with later added lugs to the bottoms, or add-on orphaned concert toms with added lugs to the bottoms added to expand the kit. Are you the original owner ? The reason i ask is because i see that there are several possibilities as to the origins of your kit.
