TAMA puts decades of experience into these incredible new drums
With over 40 years of experience, TAMA knows what drummers really want. Which is why, no matter how long you've been playing the drums, no matter what budget you have to work with, TAMA has the set you need, want, and can afford. Now TAMA has launched the most affordable kit to ever incorporate so many high-end features: Imperialstar. Every aspect of the modern drum kit was exhaustively examined and reexamined and then improved before it was accepted as part of the Imperialstar design. That's why, if you start playing Imperialstar now as a beginner, you'll still enjoy playing it as an experienced player. That's how good these groundbreaking drums are!

Poplar shells give you big, warm tone
The Imperialstar kit's shells are 100 percent poplar (6ply/7.5mm). Poplar wood has been used in making drum shell for over 50 years. It offers a full, warm tone combined with medium attack. All of TAMA's wrapped finishes are glued to the shell 100 percent to eliminate warping, buzzing or lifting. This process allows the shell to resonate fully and consistently. It's more work, but it's worth it - a difference you can see and hear!

Precise bearing edges
A drum's bearing edge is one of the most important components in drum sound. TAMA's advanced process provides extremely precise bearing edges, which allow the Imperialstar shells to ring openly and fully and provide a wide range of tuneability, sensitivity, and response.

Accu-Tune bass drum hoops
A special formulation high-tech material offers lighter weight, and faster, more stable tuning than traditional metal hoops. And, since Accu-Tune hoops use tension bolts instead of clawhooks and T-rods, head changes and tear-downs are a breeze.

An incredible kit!

by Jonathan Mayer from Asheville, NC

Music Background: Hobbyist
I bought this as my first kit, and I'm completely impressed with the quality. Wouldn't recommend anything else!

My experience was outstanding! I feel like I'm back in the 1950's when customer service was worth its weight in gold! I love the candy and personal phone call to acknowledge my order. You deliver the goods with superior efficiency, expediency and true concern for the customer.
