I think I am the only one on here with a Tama Bubinga Snare. I will say this, It gives me the sound I've always dreamed of having in a snare. Its got a nice deep kick to it that I just love. You can feel it.
Just tapped on the Bubinga/Birch Performer Sunday after church at Guitar Center. I played them then the DW Collector Series next to it and my wife even heard the difference. She said there was more body in the sound of the Bubinga/Birch.
Ditto. Seriously!!! I messed around on a DW kit and then the Tama B/B kit next, my wife said the B/B's had to be more expensive since they sounded better.
...the Bubinga/Birch Kit is the truth. I like it a lot more than the all Bubinga Shell.
You sure you are JFunky and that you just made that comment??

Once I get my Sonor's and sell the Ddrums...I will be looking at getting a secondary kit for the house, It will be a Tama Bubinga or B/B kit. Definitely.
