The simple and sweet TAMA Club-JAM Mini kit is just a kick and snare. Its clear yet deep sound from the Poplar shell is just right for those small and intimate gigs. While its compact size and configuration fit comfortably at any small venue or street show. The Drum Bag Set for this kit allows for smooth transportation (sold separately). If one needs to configure it as a regular drum kit, also available are add-on drums including the 10"x7" tom tom with attachment and a 14"x7" floor tom.

To use this kit, you must purchase all the parts in the photo description after the drum set, it does not come with the set as pictured. Disappointed kiddo and parents. Product required multiple purchases after to make usable and like the photo shown for the product. Misleading description and shady seller.

パールやソナーのミニドラム、コンパクトドラムをいくつか試しましたが、悪くはないのだけど、そもそもドラムに求めている要素について、妥協してることから「目を背けている自分がいる」感じがあった。特に低音や響き。もちろん用途によって違ってくることも理解してる。ボリュームを落とす、コンパクトにする、そうすると減退するのは当然。そこをギリギリのところで調整しているのが、TAMA CLUB-JAM MINIかと思います。僕は、12″スネアをスナッピーOFFでタム利用してます。手持ちの14″スネアと、TAMA13″タムをフロアにセットして使用。バスドラとペダル(DW--MMD)のアクセスが良くなくて、バスドラが下向きになったけど、EVANSのライザーを使用したら何とか形になりました。音量的にはバスドラム基準で他をガムテ・ミュートして調整しました。とても満足してます。

Likely, a literal life saver. I bought these for smaller stages and easier load in/out (as I age and my health catches up with me). I'd planned to use just the kick but the snare sounds really good too. With factory heads; the kick is surprisingly deep, though may lack a little projection. My pedal worked well with no riser, the beater hits above center but sounds great. The snare sounds really cool with the top head kinda low and bottom head pretty tight. Snare throw off is a little cheap but does its job.The first gig: I was jamming at home and got a call to sub "get here asap!"It was so easy and quick to throw in the car. I also bought the bags and cymbal arm separately. Rug, throne, cymbal arm, snare and hihat stand in a rolling case. One cymbal and hihats in my backpack case, and the 2 drums together in their case. One trip.I was at the venue, in the next town over, in 30 minutes. Set up in another 5. The guys loved the kick. The snare did its job but after a couple songs with rim shots the lugs detuned a bit so I had to retune once or twice (most cheap snares have this problem).One sub gig paid for the kit.Next gig, I used an additional cymbal attachment mounted to the snare. Snare has a mount like a tom but I prefer a real snare stand.The little kick saved the day in an orchestra pit for a musical I played. REALLY tight set up, packed in like sardines. A full kick would not have worked.I am very pleased with the sound, feel, look and portability. My only wishes are that I had some memory clamps for the cymbal arm and bass drum legs (though, everything stays put, even with the cymbal arm angled, tried w 16 and 17 inch crash/ride types, might not try a heavy 22" lol). It would be really nice if they had some sort of "tune-safe" feature to hold the tuning when playing hard. The shallow depth lacks protection but the tone is great, with a mic it's just as good as a full kick.My kits have gotten smaller over the years mainly for ease of transport. I have vintage Ludwig and Rogers kits and a newer Sonor kit, I'm very glad I got this little Tama. No regrets.Get the bags and cymbal arm too. There are toms that match also if you want them.

Can't complain, great sounding for the sizes and the best option for me as a little practice kit to squeeze in a tight spot! Its a real kit and plays like one and the kick is pretty punchy dry and sounds pretty decent open too! I wouldn't recommend as anything but a practice kit though. Its quiet and there are much better options for gigging and bop/jungle kits. The Gretsch Catalinas cant be beat as Bop Kit imho, with the mahogany bass drums super punchy to,

I bought this kit as an alternative to practicing on a normal kit due to Covid lockdown. It works fine as a practice kit and I'm sure it will work fine in a small, acoustic setting. The only issue I had was that the tension rods do not sit correctly in the lugs without the lugs bending. It's almost as if the rims of the snare and the bass drum are too big for the drum. It doesn't really effect the sound of the drums, I just think it's the sign of a mass produced small kit.

Love this tiny little kit. I can't stop playing it. This weird little corner of my basement is now my favorite place on earth.Tried to get the add-on kit for months, but sold out everywhere. Had to import from Germany in the end.Absolutely worth it.

An excellent kit for clubs and pubs. So good, I’ve ordered the add-on kit of two toms! Has a bigger sound than it looks.

I purchased this mainly for the bass drum because I play in a lot of assisted living facilities where I am usually limited to a pair of hihats and a snare drum.With stock heads the bass drum is better suited for lower volume heads. I swapped out the reso head for a circa 2004 custom printed bass drum head that I had on an old Tama StageStar kit and that did not appreciably change the sound characteristics. However, when I gigged with the kit in a larger room that had hard floors and lots of glass the bass drum became boomy and projected more. I swapped the stock batter head with a Remo coated Ambassador and it became even more boomy and louder. I resolved that with piggy-backing Gibraltar felt strips, which tamed down the bass drum and also gave it a wider tuning range.Out of the box the snare drum needed nothing more than a good tuning. The coated batter head was perfect for brushwork, and under sticks the drum has a nice crack and projects well. Perhaps a little too well. For such a cheap drum the throw off and snare wires struck me as high quality. Especially the throw off, which I typically engage and disengage five or more times per hour.Note that this does NOT come with a riser. I don't use risers for 18 inch and larger drums anyway, but some drummers insist on them for drums under 20 or 22 inches. You will also have to assemble the bass drum, while the snare drum arrives fully assembled.Interestingly, both the bass drum and snare drum are equipped with mounting clamps. The one on the bass drum allows you to use a shell mounted cymbal holder, and the one on the snare drum allows you to mount that drum off of a cymbal stand.I was initially 'challenged' by the gull-wing style spurs, and my first attempts at setting up and leveling the bass drum where frustrated. However, I took the time to experiment and when I got it right I marked the positions of the spurs. I can set it up now in practically no time.Overall I am very pleased with the little kit and it passed my most critical test: a gig, which I took it to two days after it arrived. I had been considering having a shallow bass drum custom made, but it would have cost me nearly twice what this kit did. And now that I have the bass drum dialed in I don't think that I could have done much better at any price.
