Reviews
I bought one of these recently from store, I couldn't be happier with it! Not only is the drum fantastic, but Graham's team were incredible in looking after me, giving me all the time I needed to try and understand different options and making sure I left with what I needed, not just what they wanted to sell me. Not to mention the free coffee was delicious...!

Tama
In 1962, TAMA drums had been established under Hoshino Gakki in Japan. From humble beginnings, the company then expanded it's catalogue, striving to produce high quality Drum Kits. Beginning with some early concepts; the 'Fiberstar' and 'Artstar' Drum Kits sparked interest amongst the drumming community. But it was the later production of 'Starclassic' and 'Star' Kits which undoubtedly became household names for drummers. Now infamous for their explosive sounding attack, partnered with stunning and exotic finishes, Tama Drums are a frequent choice for the modern Drummer. We regularly promote Tama Drums to our customers, as well as their high quality hardware products.
