BeatIt Vintage Test: TAMA Artstar II Drum Kit

Here is a test of a TAMA Artstar II drum kit made by http://en.beatit.tv - the drummers' website. http://en.beatit.tv/beatit-vintage-te... Long time ago, we locked ourselves away at Perlazza Studio (based in Poznań, Poland), where we tested quite a number of vintage drum kits and snares provided by Mateusz Wysocki and his MW-Vintage company, which (as the name suggests) specializes in vintage drums. We performed the test under the sonic supervision of musician, award-winning producer, studio owner and, most of all, a drum maniac, Przemysław Wejmann. To be more exact, it was drummer Max Psuja, who tested all the gear while the beatit.tv team recorded the video and the sound engineer/producer took care of the sonic side of things. Max Psuja, as an utter vintage drum maniac, a former employee of a drum shop, and a great drummer, who has collaborated with a host of popular acts in Poland, such as Kumka Olik, Holak, Lilly Hates Roses or Yoachim, was perfect for the role of ’lab tester’. Needless to say, he was more than eager to do the job. We have been publishing the results of our tests successively in the last few months, and there's lots more to come. Today, it is time for a... We're testing TAMA Artstar II Drum Kit 1. Basic specifications: Manufacturer: TAMA Series: Artstar II Year of production: Late 1980s Material: Canadian Rock Maple Configuration: D 22” x 16″; TT 10″ x 10″; TT 12” x 11″; TT 13” x 12”; TT 14″ x 13″; FT 16″ x 16” Finish:Piano White 2. Test and sound When testing the TAMA Artstar II drum kit, we also used a Majestic Brass 14" x 10" snare, Impression cymbals and Aquarian drumheads Max first presented the sound of the toms and the kick drum produced by single strokes at different levels of dynamics, then the kick drum together with the toms only to add the snare after a while. The whole thing was finished off with a rhythm figure using all the kit elements as well as performing a groove. The sound of these drum kit can be described as classical for metal drums, hundreds if not thousands of metal albums have been recorded on such drums. One of the most controversial drummers in the world - Lars Ulrich - used to play them once. We are dealing here with an instrument with sound from previous era. TAMA Arstar II - characterized by warm and dark sound of toms and kick drum. The bass drum has a lot of low frequencies and an interesting-sounding click. The toms, despite their huge size, sound quite shallow and sharp. Shell sizes make even a guy who has 2 meters looks like a 10 year old child behind this set. :) An instrument created for studio and heavy metal concerts! Drummers and Drummerettes! It's time to put the 22", 10", 12", 13", 14", 16"  TAMA Artstar II drum kit to the most important test of all, i. e. the en.beatit.tv viewers' test! Exclusively for you, we give you Max Psuja!
