    Hey DownSpike!

    I'm not a huge fan of heavy tamas, and have a good amount of fresh setups I've yet to jam because of the weight. I'm looking for anyone that prefers heavier tamas, in the range of 80g-85g (I believe a good amount of what I have is 80-82g) and has fresh tama/s of lower weights you would be willing to trade.

    Here is a quick list of what I have for trade (I would love to trade for something similar as I bought these setups to jam originally): KUSA Kaizen half split, Tribute half split, Kaizen 2.0 Maple, Sweets atack, Terra, misc. rubber/silk/painted damas from Roots, Active, KendamaISR and others.

    I would be looking for tamas in the 70g-76g range, and would be open to tamas from different companies or setups than what I've listed (have yet to try Analog, Fujin, a few others). Even if you have something from a company I haven't listed, shoot me a message. I also have some heavier tamas that have little to some wear which I would trade for similar condition tamas. Thanks!

    Post some pictures dude! I would love to look into some of these but I need to see condition and paint colors/grain to decide.

    Will do! I'll try and get some pictures up later today. The majority of what I have for trade is brand new, not played 10/10.

    Seriously, where were you when I was last mixing and matching trying to hit ~80g/80g for my right/lefty combos. I prefer heavier setups in general but when I'm trying two handed tricks the heavier ones really help.

    Haha!! If only I knew bro! Let me know if you are looking for any heavy tamas in the future. With the amount I have, I'm sure I'll have some around for a while.

    All are 100% fresh, 10/10, never played. I'm really just looking for tama trades, as I want to keep most of these kens.
    Would trade/sell KendamaISR Bamboo green/black natty stripe complete (both tama and ken are heavy, nice weight match).
    Kaizen half split tama (grey/blue) is 87g. Most of the rest are around 80-82g.
