TAMA StarCast Mounting

[road dogg]

it just broke off... although, I know what remedy to do, i am just not quite happy about these TAMA - China quality
TAMA Japan is still way better... Just my opinion. no need to argue pls

it should be like this



but now

[road dogg]

yep, i had some 90s pearl kits before, they do have some good strong hardware

[road dogg]

really sir... i know exactly how he feels.

Its either a consumable part, or there is definitely something wrong in the "strongest name in drums" part of their marketing

 

I will just replace it with an ordinary M4 size nut and bolt and improvise some rubber bushings. I really don't have the budget to slam it on the ground, so I will just have to live with this reality.

[breech41]

for me sir..hmm kasi made in china..like sir road said before.. mas matibay talaga pag JAPAN !

[jeva]

totoo yun pare, hes a studio owner in pasig.. hindi ko na imention ang name niya pero kilala siya don.
dati nga may nag benta sakanya ng sabian eh first time user ng sabian ata yun kasi purist talaga yun ng zildjian at TAMA..

tapos isang araw may nag practice nasira yung cymbals na 17" agad!, sinira niya harapan sa drummer na nakasira eh.. AAX ata yung nasira niya.

well ako din, may IRON COBRA POWER GLIDER dati... same issues sa mga user ng IRON COBRA yung vari-pitch adjuster.. im happy now with my Pearl Power Shifter Eliminators  .

In my Own opinion, Combo Brands for drums and cymbals:

Drums: Pearl ( Cheap and Quality.. Availability "JB IS ALL Arround" )
Hardware : Gibraltar ( Universal )
Cymbals: Zildjian ( Cheap and Quality.. Availability "JB IS ALL Arround" )

Debate if you want..  why will i buy a TAMA 5piece Set for 30K? if i will have the SAME Quality for Pearl 6piece set arround 25K?

Why will i go for Sabian HHX 1pc of 16", 17" or 18" will cost 15k+ EACH if i can go for Zildjian?..
their hi-ends are not more than 10K+ for 20" EACH Cymbals (custom series).
same as for the package sets.

And gibraltar is gibraltar.. its universal.

Again.. Its my own opinion.
 

Well yung Pearl kasi Taiwan, which has a better quality in manufacturing compared to China, no contest. I know, because I used to work for a German steel manufacturer based in Malaysia, and believe me, we had to cover up for our China plant, kasi lagi silang reject.

Sa cymbals, i guess nasa user na yun, kung anong gusto mong sound at ang durability nasa pdrummer. I mean what if JB brings in Sabian? Mas mura nga ba talaga Zildjian sa Sabian? Kasi dito mas mahal ang sabian, minimum 17K for a K 20" ride. na 15K lang kung sabian.

I can relate... i also work in germany and our company builds automated machines, we also dropped the idea of setting up a manufacturing facility in china

Anyways, getting back to the topic, i hope i can buy a replacement part locally

According to the TAMA site, there are replacement parts available

PAGING Sir Barrabbas

Do we have these parts at Audiophile
A-2 MCM-RB80 Rubber bolt

I think its a good idea to buy some pieces to keep in personal stock

Di mo pa rin ba nabenta starclassic mo sir? Hindi naman siguro sa walang may gusto ng starclassic, maybe its just because of the financial situation.

I can relate... i also work now in germany and our company builds automated machines, we also dropped the idea of setting up a manufacturing facility in china

Automation ka sir? kc ung dati kong company ay may automation, material  handling solution ang field of business namin. SSI SCHAEFER, anong company ka? Swerte mo nakapasok ka dyan sa germany. Naks, Sonor na yan Sir. balitaan mo naman ako magkano dyan ung Cast Bronze ng Sonor.

[wireme]

hi sir road dog, ganyan din nangyari sa akin.
ito pic....


hindi din ako satisfied sa china made na starcast, balak ko nga palitan ng japan made.

but anyway, nasabi ko agad kay carlo(barabbas) and napalitan din, may dadating atang mga rubber bolts sa shipment ng audiophile ngayon. ano kaya cause bakit naputol? napansin ko nalang ganun na, hindi kaya dahil sa weight baka hindi niya kaya isupport?

[sandythedrummer]

Sana dumating na yung parts.

Kanya kanya lang naman mga Flaws ng drums companies eh.

Pearl Forum = Hardwares tends to loose thread sa mga stands. Wing nut in particular.
Gretsch Catalinas = Tom arms nya humihina overtime.
Yamaha Rydeen = Nabibiyak mismo yung lugs nya sa snare.
Tama S.S = Star cast mounts. Manipis chroming ng Drum hardware. and na titipak yung black nickle chroming ng hardware sa Hyperdrives.

 

[road dogg]

i just got a personal call from sir Carlo a.k.a. Barabbas, he mentioned to organize parts for me himself. I think that's what compensates for small problems on products of TAMA drums.

He even mentioned that my drums may have been still under warranty. Too bad it was already a bit way past its period.

However, as what sandythedrummer mentioned, there can be no perfect product and I think what is important is how the official representatives give personalized, full support and importance to their loyal customers.

siguro naman may nakapansin na na mahilig ako ng "konti" sa TAMA drums

kudos to sir Carlo!

Sorry late reply... if ever sana sir, i need the 10, 12, 13, 14 for all my toms para uniform

[barabbas]

Nagpunta na si Richard Carls A.K.A. RoadDogg nagorder na sya ng Rubber bolt para sa hoops ng TAMA kit nya
next month na yung dating.... early next month... Kung sino pa may problma sa parts ng TAMA please do email me or YM me to Carlomorales03@yahoo.com.... or you may call me at 588-0919.... Thanks.....

[vdonati_fan]

sir richard at wireme, tanong ko lang po. gaano po kayo kadalas gumamit ng kit? i'm dreaming po kasi of having my own hyperdrive someday. ndi naman po siguro dahil sa over use sya kaya bumigay yung rubber bolts nya.

anyways, good thing we have Carlo of Audiophile to cater for our Tama needs.

Thanks!

hi bro! every sunday ko ginagamit sa church, more than a year na rin yung kit. buti nalang meron din ako sariling kit kaya nung naputol, ginamit ko muna yung starcast mount sa kit ko. at least ngayon meron ng dadating na replacement parts(rubber bolt) kaya hindi na rin ako magwoworry kung maputol ulit. im not sure kung dahil sa overuse, baka yung part lang yun ang hindi matibay na pagkagawa.

[vdonati_fan]

baka nga yung bolt mismo ang may fault. i just hope that Tama would be able to address this flaw. same thing with the beater holder of their Iron Cobra. I was really enjoying my IC before the incident happened. 

[road dogg]

as for me and my damaged part, perhaps i just got a lemon
