Head recommendations: unless you're playing hard rock, you will never go wrong buying coated Remo Ambassadors or Evans G1 for the top and clear for the bottom.
Hi! I am a Yamaha player but was considering buying this tama club jam kit. How's the quality of the drum shells and bearing edges?? Thanks. Marco agius mosta Malta
We highly recommend them. Shells and bearing edges are great. They stay in tune very well. I’ll make an update video soon to show how they’ve held up and how they sound with upgraded Remo heads.
In the future save the dough and buy new heads when you buy the kit. Kits of this price point don't come with good heads. It's Ok to keep the bass drum reso head. All the other heads that come with these kits should be discarded. Sell the snare that comes with these kits for a few bucks that you can put towards new heads. Leave the snare in the box and sell to for about $40 as a kids drum.
I wouldn't discard any brand new heads. I also would not sell that new snare drum for $40. I would however, upgrade all of the batter heads at least. Best wishes!
You say Tomato I say Tamma-auto. I've heard multiple Tama artists pronounce it the way I do and never took the time to make sure it was right. Sorry for making you cringe. It doesn't matter anymore though, because we sold these and are now equipped with Loodvig drums and hardware ;)
@@drumbox2900 That kinda' sucks that you sold the Tama's. You were pretty stoked during the unboxing and even mentioned maybe getting a second set. What gives? You didn't like them or what?
@@EarthtonesCymbals I definitely like the Club Jam's a lot and still recommend them. The only reason for selling is because we now have a partnership with Ludwig for all of our drums and hardware.

Just curious so I don't order any extra bits.
No snare stand, no hi hat stand, no bass pedal and no throne, correct?
That's all correct as far as I remember. It's been a couple of years since getting those, so forgive me if I'm wrong about any of it.
Tama Drums sounds pretty nice, they make good drums like Pearl and Ludwig. The drums itself sounds nice.
That is a fabulous rug!
talking about how to choose the right cymbals and hihat for a semi loudness drumset.
I have a Gretsch Catalina four piece with Evans heads!
What's the exact size of the bass drum
18"X12" Here are the full specs. www.tama.com/eu/products/drum_kits/club_jam_kit.html
Tama is so wonderful
I own pdp currently
great unboxing jake!
Thanks, Raj!
Does it come with the tom arm?
It does. You can see the tom arm being put on at 13:00. That tom arm also includes a mounting point to put another cymbal arm (not included).
@@drumbox2900 thank you lol ,I’m in the process of purchasing one and didn’t want to get an extra tom arm on accident .
No problem, @@nothingiseverguaranteed . I hope you love your kit!
Just ordered one from Sweetwater - two week back order - same 4 pc and same charcoal mist finish - great video?
Sorry for the delay. I never got notifications on the comments. Did your kit come in?!

great new drums !!!
They're super fun to play (especially with better heads)!
Dream kit
I have a double bass pedal will it securely fit?
Definitely.
Do you know the weight of the box?
I don't. This was several years ago and I don't think I got any shots that showed the weight. Sorry.
Do it comes with snare stand
It doesn't. Snare stand has to be purchased separately.
How good is the overall build quality?
The build is excellent!
Does it come with drum heads?
It does. They are pretty thin, but sound alright, especially at higher tunings.
Sounds powerful for the small kit
Definitely. These drums are so fun. We've got new Remo heads on them now and they sound so much better.
Aqua blue is the only color option for this kit
This isn’t true at all.
All colors are ok black excluded

Jejso the best way
Throw that Meinl HCS in the garbage lol
Give it to a kid that is just starting out instead.
This is hard to watch him mispronounce Tama

Was it the watching or the listening that made it hard for you?

@@drumbox2900 did you get the ludwig breakbeats by questlove?
