Luis' Tama Starclassic Performer kit - V2


Luis sent me some more pictures of his Tama Starclassic kit. Here are my original notes for v1: "I love the dark mood in the picture of Luis' drums below―and the beautiful color of these Tama Starclassics. In fact, the color is pretty close to Neil's Tobacco Sunburst West Coast Recording kit."

This is my Tama Starclassic drumkit in an Aztec Red Fade finish. Excellent kit, the setup was obviously influenced on Neil's kit (the current one actually). This is an update of my earlier kit; it has more accessories and more drums. I just wish I had a Lorne Wheaton to set them up and stuff (not everyone can have one).

Neil, great work on the last album and what a great show you gave in Selma TX on August 12, 2007 (I was there and it was AMAZING). And Neil if you ever get to read this or if anyone can contact him for me, tell him we'll be waiting for him in Monterrey, Mexico. Thousands of people are waiting to see Rush in Mexico once again I can assure you.
