The heads were shot but everything else is good.I fitted an Evans G1 batter I already had and a Meazzi Reso (shop old stock for 5 - very thin), possibly not the best heads but Ill think of them when my tuning ability improves.It sounds great to me - much better than the one with my Pearl Forum starter kit.
![]() Tama Lookup Serial Number OnTama Lookup Serial Number On TheThere is a serial number on the Tama badge - 151646 and has 10 tuning lugs per side with plain chromed hardware, plain varnished wood finish and Starclassic 20 strand snare. Dont think its a Starclassic though as the strainer mechanism doesnt appear high end and there is no Starclassic badge on the drum - just a Tama badge with vent hole in centre. The badge is a kind of very patinad bronze colour (almost brown) and American FootballRugby Ball shape. The strainer is better than basic and works smoothly but doesnt seem top quality. It doesnt appear in any current catalogue I can find but I dont think its particularly old - it seems in good condition with very faint pitting to the chromed hardware which has cleaned up easily. Tama Lookup How To Post PhotographsSorry about the lack of photo but my camera has developed a sense of humor and I havent yet figured out how to post photographs. So far Im 50 into it which I am happy with but I would appreciate it if you could help me identify it. It looks like its a 7 ply 6mm Artwood Maple Model AM255SMP from 2003 (but the Tama badge is 2002 - think this is ok as the shell was changed from 6 ply 8mm to the newer version then so they were probably using up the last of the badges from old stock). The only thing that doesnt check out is the strainer but looking at the fasteners inside the drum the strainer ones are different from the butt. Think thats why the strainer is a bit cheesy compared to the rest of the drum - its an aftermarket non Tama replacement. Think Ill keep an eye out for a genuine Strainerbutt assembly.
