100% Tama Japan factory original Japanese Birch SCP-EFX double bass drum set in very good used condition. Era appropriate rack tom stand included. This was originally a special order Silver Sparkle Kit. Like the Lars Ulrich Kit used in the S&M live concert video in 1999. The wrap has gingered perfectly to a uniform Vintage Gold Sparkle. Looks & Sounds great! There are 12 pictures of this drum set provided. They are your general condition reference. Only issues that hinder functionality or are severe in nature/appearance will be described below for this listing. See pictures above and overview below. This drum set is also available on Reverb. There is weathering on the inside lug mounting washers and bolts of the kicks and floor toms, micro-pitting on a couple of the spurs, pitting on a few of the memory locks and some micro-scratches on some of the chrome & steel. Note: there is some mild staining on the 18 inside shell from attempts to clean the bolts/washers. Chrome shines and steel looks very good. Lug tension rods, washers, claws etc… Rims have a few micro-scratches. Bass hoops only show finish fade (hints of original) under the claws. The heads/claws were never removed. As a result, the hoops gingering is uniform everywhere, except underneath the claws. Hoops equipped with original hoop guards – show wear. Also, the left – HH – side batter hoop has a couple mild 1.5 clamp indentation from a Tama HH attachment. It was attached for years and never removed. Other batter hoop has a tiny nick at the edge. Wrap is tight. External gingering is uniform, other than underneath the lugs, claws and is slightly liter under one kick. Obviously cant see any of this when kit is set up. Shells and edges are excellent. NOTE: The bottom edge of the 18 has a repaired 3 vertical split of the inner 3 angle-cut plies – before the point where head meets edge. It was repaired years ago with the same wood glue guitar luthiers use to adhere guitar necks to the body. Repair is solid and edge is clean. Only a scar remains. Factory original heads are used – Resonants are clean/clear, batters show use. Note: 16 resonant has a pea-sized hole by the edge – 1/2 tape on both side. StarCast mounts and Tom stand are very good. Just some very lite weathering and a few micro-scratches. Silver Sparkle Wrap – Gingered to Gold. 2 – 16 x 22 Kicks w/ Spurs – Virgin/No Brackets. 9 x 10 Tom w/ StarCast Mount & Bracket. 10 x 12 Tom w/ StarCast Mount & Bracket. 16 x 16 Floor Tom w/ Legs. 16 x 18 Floor Tom w/ Legs. 8 – Memory Locks. Tama OmniSphere Tom Stand. Exceptionally rare to find a factory original double bass SCP-EFX with 16 x 22 virgin kicks. 2002 catalog version kicks were 18 x 22 and had tom mounts. This is an excellent used players kit. Complete, clean and ready to rock. Great kit for a Metallica fan or anyone looking for a high-end metal kit. The sound, of course, is monstrous.
