When purchasing a "budget" drum set, it can often feel like taking a gamble. However, at our store, we are dedicated to ensuring that you receive excellent value for your investment in gear. Our commitment is evident in our support for TAMA Imperialstar complete drum sets. These kits offer unbeatable value, equipped with a comprehensive set of stage-ready TAMA hardware and quality Meinl cymbals. The 6-ply poplar shells deliver remarkably balanced and responsive sound, making this kit suitable for beginners and seasoned drummers alike. With a range of exciting wrapped finishes available, the Imperialstar sets a new standard for drumming at any skill level.
TAMA eliminates the guesswork involved in assembling a playable drum set with their Imperialstar series. Each set comes complete with a set of Meinl HCS cymbals—14-inch hi-hats, a 16-inch crash, and a 20-inch ride—ensuring a stage-ready sound. Additionally, a TAMA single-chain drive kick pedal offers smooth playing action for the bass drum, while a full selection of TAMA hardware provides stability. To top it off, an Imperialstar drum throne ensures comfort during long playing sessions.
The shells of the TAMA Imperialstar are crafted from six plies of lightweight poplar, renowned for its quick decay and full-bodied tone. This quality makes poplar ideal for close-miking applications both onstage and in the studio.
Unlike some other kits, the Imperialstar features attractive wrapped finishes that are meticulously glued 360° around the shells, eliminating buzzing or lifting. This ensures long-lasting good looks and a consistent, resonant tone throughout the kit.
Precision bearing edges are crucial for the sound and tuning of drums over time. TAMA's edge-cutting process ensures clean bearing edges on all Imperialstar shells, resulting in drums that resonate authentically with a wide tuning range and sensitive playing dynamics suitable for various music styles.
