Tama Serial Number Check
I obtained my set in the mid 1980s and it was already old. The sizes are: 24' x 16' #200411 22' x 16' #200078 16' x 17' #200077 14' x 12' #200076 13' x 11' #200075 12' x 10' #200074 10' x 9' #200073 Obviously, the 24' was the only non consecutive number, but of the same era. They would knock on the raw shells with their knuckles to make a harmonious set. DW has no record of the early production numbers. Does anyone here have an idea? I toured the factory with John Good back in 1981 and like I said, they would only do lacquer, they were not into endorsements and their only concern was making great drums (at that time a DW Bass Drum was the same price as a competitor's drum set!). Contrary to popular belief, they were all about trying to make Camcos back then.

Both Yamaha and Tama at the time were kings of the birch shell. I'm also of the mindset that a classic Superstar kit will hold its own against newer drums. The problem with the older kits is in finding parts should you need them.
Provide a description of your phone and its serial number to pawn shops credit: Mario Tama/Getty Images News/Getty Images Provide a description of your phone and its serial number to pawn shops in the area where the theft occurred. I'm guessing it's a birch Starclassic Performer, and if I'm reading the serial number right, it's made in 2004. You can only date Starclassic Maples with the serial number. A good value at that price, with the rack and snare.
Very true about the superstar/imperialstar/fiberstar/lugs.Tama actually destroyed the molds,instead of forseeing the need for replacement parts. Ludwig on the other hand,has been using the virtually same, superclassic lug since 1948,and continues to do so today. The Crestars and Grandstars appeared around the same time,and used the same 8 ply 9mm shell, of all Japanese birch,but the grandstars were wrapped. Crestars were phased out in favor of Artstars/Grandstars. Superstars were at first 4 ply 6mm shells with re rings in the 9500 and 9600 series Then the 9700 series were 6 ply,9mm shells with no rerings.They also were all Japanese birch. I also agree that any of Tamas top shelf drums,can certainly,hold their own with any modern mass produced,and even some custom made kits today.,especially the metal snare drums.:):) I'm sure there's at least one individual, that will disagree with that.
The badge is a kind of very patina'd bronze colour (almost brown) and American Football/Rugby Ball shape. The strainer is better than basic and works smoothly but doesn't seem top quality. It doesn't appear in any current catalogue I can find but I don't think its particularly old - it seems in good condition with very faint pitting to the chromed hardware which has cleaned up easily. Sorry about the lack of photo but my camera has developed a sense of humor and I haven't yet figured out how to post photographs. So far I'm £50 into it which I am happy with but I would appreciate it if you could help me identify it. Try looking around on here.Had a good look through the catalogues.

How to adjust your DW Pedal: For the bass drum pedals, there are a variety of adjustments. One of the most important is the side/duel adjusting hoop clamp. This allows you to modify the height of the clamp for your bass drum hoop. Once the adjustment has been made, a quarter turn on the side-hoop clamp is all that is necessary for set up.
The serial numbers on Tama drums of that era were for insurance purposes only and do not relate to a date of manufacture.Thanks for the info! Would it be safe to say that my finish is Candy Apple Red? I have read there was also another dark red offered in Supes, but I can't find any good pics of either one.
The kick drum hoops don't look like anything I've seen on a Starclassic drum though, so they may not be the original hoops. Back in about the 90s the performer series used to have GRP hoops, it was more of a 'midrange' kit but very good quality drums nonetheless. There's mine, i've wrapped it in camo fabric now because the colour was so awful though:p Also the huge 14' tom is now hanging.
Tama Serial Number
Serial Number/Badge Styles. 1960-63 (left), 1964-69 (right) These are the gold standards for identifying a vintage Ludwig drum. The general rule of thumb is a “Keystone” badge indicates a drum from the '60s and a “Blue & Olive” badge indicates a drum from the '70s or early '80s. The Blue & Olive badge replaced the Keystone in 1969, so there’s some natural overlap. If you find yourself wondering if your Blue & Olive badge might be a ‘69, a quick consultation of the serial number will clear up any uncertainty. In addition, the Keystone badge was reintroduced on certain models in the early '80s.

Pretty all the major drum companies only use serial numbers so the end user can keep track of their drums for insurance purposes, and no major drum company keeps such serial numbers on file. Also Tama Rockstar is was the lower line for Tama for nearly 20 years, and through the course of it's history, the snare drum only had minor, if any, changes from any one year compared to any other year. So getting an exact date for any one Rockstar snare drum would be near impossible and rather pointless, because it's age wouldn't affect it's value. Overall, it's pretty generic metal snare drum. The Tama website does have a history section with every catalog scanned and on file.

How do I find the date of manufacture by the serial number on the badge of my tama rockstar drums? I know you're supposed to subtract 10 from the first two digits of the serial number but mine (the tom, that's all I have on me) says 521520 and that would make the date 1942 and I know these drums.
