    I'm afraid that's gonna be a tough sell my friend. Good luck to you tho. Mine is like 67g and so is the ken so that would be a crazy weight combo. What does your ken way?

    Lol. I have a set up like that. But the tama is feather light. It's crazy. Never weighed it but I bet it's in the low 50's. And it is honed crazy bc it was one of my first damas. That thing will sit anywhere now. But I feel you. Heavier tamas seem better for stalls and such. Easier to feel and level out the weight distribution and junk like that.

    I would contact them. That’s pretty lame they shipped you weights like that and I’m sure they would want to correct this.
