Forse riguarda solo le batterie, ma vedi se può esserti utile.
How can I tell how old my drum is? Can I tell from the serial numbers?
Only Tama Starclassic Maple and Performer Drums have serial numbers that indicate the age of the drums. With the Starclassic Serial number system, you apply the "subtract 10 system" to the first two digits of the number to get what year they were made in. This is easier to explain by example than describe, so here goes:
Example 1: If the number on your Starclassic drum was 1102401, subtracting 10 from the 11 (the first two digits) leaves you with "01" which translates into 2001, the year of manufacture.
Example 2: If the number on your Starclassic drum was 04091809, subtracting 10 from 04 (the first two digits) leaves you with "94" which under this interesting system translates into 1994.
In the case of other Tama drums, unfortunately, the serial numbers do not indicate the time of manufacture. Take a look at our Historical Section to pinpoint when different models and series that were made to help you identify your kit. Failing that, you can send pictures of your kit to: Tama Drum Identification, Box 886, Bensalem, PA 19020. United States snail mail inquiries only. Please do not send one-of-a-kind photos as we cannot guarantee their return. Naturally, the more the pictures clearly show the set?s lugs, spur brackets, tom holders, badges and anything else that will help identify your kit the better.
