HOF right there

Seconded.

Good deal on some beautiful old tamas if anyone feels like roadtripping to Toronto:

With two 18" BD hoops and some conversion hardware, you'd end up with a 13/16/24 kit and a 10/12/14/18 kit plus a snare that's probably worth ~$600 on its own.

The old Superstars are nicely made and I’d say the construction and tone is like they were going for something between the ludwig 3 plus and the 6 ply super classic. I had a set of these in standard depth and they were great, but I ran out of room for a second kit and gave them to a friend.

Note that mine had some ply separation on the kick but not bad enough for me to fix. Not sure if that’s a prevalent issue with these.
