TAMA Club-JAM Pancake Kit

Description
The TAMA Club-JAM Pancake Kit crams full-sized tone into an ultracompact package. TAMA's Club-JAM series is renowned for fusing professional-caliber sound with space-efficient designs and this 4-piece shell pack represents the pinnacle of that vision. Boasting 3.5" deep toms, a 4" snare and an 18" kick, the Club-JAM Pancake can be packed into a single bag—yet it unleashes the same thunderous volume and attack as its larger siblings.
Ultrashallow Shells Deliver Maximum Portability
The Club-JAM Pancake's namesake shells measure just 3.5" and 4" deep, allowing the entire 4-piece kit to fit into a single carry bag. But don't let their shallow profile fool you—TAMA's innovative construction techniques produce a surprisingly wide tonal range and impressive volume. The 8-ply poplar shells deliver a balanced attack, rich sustain and vintage-inspired warmth that defies their compact size.
Vintage-Style Hardware Provides Rugged Reliability
While the Club-JAM Pancake Kit was designed for maximum portability, TAMA didn't sacrifice durability. The kit features heavy-duty lug casings, solid aluminum bass drum hoops and steel brackets to stand up to the rigors of travel and performance. TAMA's robust single tom holder provides stable, adjustable mounting, allowing drummers to position their mounted tom at the perfect angle and height.
A Compact Kit With Serious Capabilities
Despite its diminutive footprint, the TAMA Club-JAM Pancake possesses some serious firepower. The single-headed toms produce warm, punchy tones with outstanding attack, while the snare cuts through the mix with a sharp, sensitive response. The 18" kick drum generates a surprising amount of low-end thump that provides a solid foundation for any style. For drummers seeking a highly transportable set that can handle any musical situation, the TAMA Club-JAM Pancake Kit is in a class by itself.

Granted symbols are not included. No problem. But even in the instructions they say that there is a bag to store things in. Nothing. there aren't any drumsticks or a foot pedal for the bass drum among other things. I know this is not labeled as a set but it is not clear when you buy things. There is no stand as well as other items that are listed in the picture. We are implementing a class action suit against you on this. There is no question. This is false advertising. Anybody who has this issue as well. We will be sending you paperwork in the coming months for you to participate. Not cool guitar center
Excellent compact kit!

TAMA has another hit on their hands with this Pancake Club Jam! Snare cracks even with stock head. Toms sing and their sound really carries. Bass drum....super convenient with its small footprint. However, you will need to mic this, even in at a small venue. Also, bass drum is super lightweight, so it creeps quite a bit.
Perfect for small room paired with low acoustic cymbals

I set up an indoor rehearsal room in my house. We needed a compact, low volume drum kit due to the size of the small room (plus we didn't want to freak out our cats), and the TAMA kit fits the bill nicely. The kit takes up about 1/3 the space of a standard kit, and paired with a set of low acoustic output cymbals and quiet sticks, we can practice at a comfortable volume level. The perfect kit for the job, without sacrificing sound quality.
Nice Kit

I down sized from the DW Design Series 5 piece set with Mapex Black Panther Blaster 13"as the snare, for personal reasons, to this which I really like. MY opinion you can make any set set good just by changing the heads. Evans HD dry on 12 inch snare & Hydraulics glass on toms... sounds awesome
