Description
Selling a beautifully restored, highly desirable 1986 Tama Swingstar shell pack in the classic rock configuration (12", 13", 16" toms, and 22" bass drum). This is a rare and highly sought-after transition-era kit manufactured in the original Japanese factories (MIJ). It perfectly bridges the gap between early 80s heavy-duty construction and late 80s hardware updates. Features & Specs: * Shells: 9-ply straight Philippine Mahogany shells (no reinforcement rings) – incredibly punchy, fat, and durable. * Interiors: Factory-sealed Gray Zola-Coat moisture barrier with original rounded bearing edges. Gives the kit a focused, warm, "dry" vintage rock attack similar to classic high-end Gretsch kits. * Finish: Iconic Royal Pewter wrap. Cleaned up beautifully! * Hardware: Outfitted with the updated 6200-series "stair-step" block lugs and original heavy-duty, rock-solid telescoping bass drum spurs. * Badges: Features the desirable transition-era Straight "T" Black Badges with the 8-digit sequential serial numbers (154XXXXX) confirming an early 1986 Japanese production line run. * The original, legendary Omni-Sphere ball-and-socket double tom mount is included and functions flawlessly (no stripped threads or slipping!). This is a bulletproof, stage-ready rock machine perfect for a gigging drummer looking for that distinct 80s punch, or a collector wanting a clean piece of Japanese drum history. Price: $450 Shell pack only (Includes 12/13/16/22 and Omni-Sphere tom holder). Cash/Venmo. Pickup in [Camarillo]. No trades.
