TAMA Serial Amounts Assist - submitted in Common: Wishing to understand even more about my Artstar IIs centered on the serial t. How do I find the day of manufacture by the serial quantity on the logo of my tama rockstar percussion I know youre expected to subtract 10 from the very first two numbers of the serial quantity but mine (the ben, thats all I have got on me) states 521520 and that would create the date 1942 and I understand these percussion werent around yet, back then. Tama will be a small component of a large varied corporation that doesnt perform a great job of interacting with the owners of their items.Īs a issue of truth, They are usually down right cool when it comes to customer relations.
Also, that cheesy, retro-cool “faux birdseye maple” wrap was just too cool to pass up! I’ve only seen a few other Gravure Amber RM kits on Craigslist here and there…but all with “Xtra” length power toms. The matching wrapped snare drums are even more difficult to find than the kits. When I saw the three piece “Gravure Amber” RM kit that I bought (see previous posts) had a 14" floor tom and 20" kick…I had to have it just on the rarity of those sizes. Other than this link to the 93 Tama catalog, I don’t have much info on them either. The RM’s were such an anomaly in Tama’s drum line at the time, there is just not much of a knowledge base on them.
Who knows…you may just have THE FIRST Rockstar RM in “Gravure Cherry Black” off the assembly line! I can’t imagine there being many others out there.
That serial number is intriguing…but you never know what Tama was thinking with their serial number schemes in early 90’s. I guess “Black Cherry” got lost in translation somewhere! Kinda rare for sure, especially in "Gravure Cherry Black” as Tama called it. I’d really like to build up a kit around it but I’ve never found another drum in the same finish!“ I was wondering if you could tell me anything interesting about it? There’s very little info out there about them. What’s interesting about this one is that it has the serial number 000001. I can’t find much about them on the internet, other than they appear to be quite rare. “Hey man, came across your blog when searching for Rockstar RM… I have in my possession a single 13” rack tom, Rockstar RM, I think the finish is called ‘Black Cherry Gravure’ (could be wrong on that one).
