TAMA Imperialstar Drum Design
If you’re like a lot of us, then you’re probably instantly skeptical of anything billed as a “budget” model. In the case of TAMA Imperialstar drum kits, the “budget” label stops at the price. From the fully glued wraps around its drum shells to its sturdy rubber feet, everything about TAMA Imperialstar drum kit is built to the high standards Sweetwater expects from TAMA. It’s one of the reasons why many of the drummers we work with (and many of us) started playing on one of these affordable drum sets and why we’ve held on to it long after upgrading.
What do we mean by quality drums? Let’s take a look. The TAMA Imperialstar drum kits’ quality starts with the shells. The drum shells are made from six plies of poplar, which is a tonewood known for being even toned and touch responsive, with a fast decay and tempered resonance. If you record, then you’re going to love how these TAMA Imperialstar drums sound under close drum mics; they also project wonderfully onstage.
Notable Features of TAMA Imperialstar Drums
There are a couple of standout features of TAMA Imperialstar drum shells that we want to highlight. For starters, one of the things you won’t find on most budget drums is the smooth and precise bearing edges you get with TAMA Imperialstar drums. These bearing edges mean your drumheads will sit tight and hold even tension, and you won’t have to worry about buzz. Imperialstar drums also feature fully glued wraps. That means the finish won’t buzz or rattle, and you get a more solid, resonant tone throughout.
As we mentioned, TAMA Imperialstar drums aren’t just shell packs; they’re complete drum kits. The full package includes drum cymbals, pedals, stands, and even a comfortable drum throne. The included Meinl HCS drum cymbals are a favorite among newer drummers here at Sweetwater. The chain-drive kick pedal and hi-hat pedals are smooth and reliable. Double-braced legs make the hardware sturdy, while large rubber feet prevent your drum kit from sliding apart when you get into the groove. And you really can’t knock the TAMA Imperialstar drum throne, an added bonus you’ll enjoy for years.
