The black icon looks so much better than the older ones with that hideous hinge. ]]> Sun, 20 May 2012 07:54:39 +0000 http://www.unitedbydrums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9&PID=184877#184877 Drum Kits : All Things Tama http://www.unitedbydrums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=66&PID=184876#184876 Author: YtseJam

Yeah, the black metallic gold inlay has been around for a while. Like Aje, I'm not too fond of bubinga's sound as well, but unlike him, I'm not planning on getting a set anytime soon. ]]> Sun, 20 May 2012 07:53:38 +0000 http://www.unitedbydrums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=66&PID=184876#184876 Drum Kits : The Drumkit Picture Thread. http://www.unitedbydrums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9&PID=184875#184875 Author: Chopper

They were always supposed to sound great, but fell into the 'Interesting' category instead of the 'OMG'...probably because so many of us drummers listen with our eyes and are scared of anything different. I keep blathering on the same thing about motorcycle front ends. There are configurations out there superior to forks that almost nobody implements out of fear of doing something different...BMW excepted Smile]]> Sat, 19 May 2012 23:56:31 +0000 http://www.unitedbydrums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9&PID=184870#184870 Drum Kits : All Things Tama http://www.unitedbydrums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=66&PID=184869#184869 Author: aje_drum

The Sith returns...
 
Ahh...Black Metallic with Gold Inlay. They do look awesome. Be aware that they are a finish that has always been available since the beginning of the Bubinga series in 2006, long before the 'Elites' came along in 2009. Then they got absorbed into the Elite line...same as White Pearl with Diamond Inlay. So in fairness they shouldn't cost any more than any other Japanese made Bubinga. You can see the year of manufacture by subtracting 10 from the first two digits of the serial numbers...Don't get sucked in to thinking it is necessarily an 'Elite' just because of the finish.
 
I've played the bubingas a few times and didn't like them as much as my maples, although the bass drums were devastating. The toms were all attack and then low growl, but no body...not the pleasent round tone of maple. Good, I guess, if your bread and butter is ripping out hyper fast tom fills. That said, I'll probably buy one when I can afford it :)
