Your dream starts here.
The Tama Imperialstar 6-Piece Drum Set with Meinl Cymbals includes a 22" x 18" kick drum, 10" x 8" and
12" x 9" toms, 14" x 14" and 16" x 16" floor toms, a 14" x 5-1/2" snare, and a 3-piece Meinl cymbal starter pack with free
10" splash.
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. Which is why, if you start playing Imperialstar as a beginner, you'll still enjoy playing it when you've achieved
pro-status. That's how good these groundbreaking new drums are.
Only Tama Imperialstar comes with a complete set of
genuine Meinl HCS cymbals. These high-quality brass cymbals are made in Germany and are sonically matched so they sound great
together. They are even lathed for a more refined tonal character. The set includes 14" hi-hats, 16" crash cymbal, a 20" ride
cymbal, and a free 10" splash.
Shells:100% poplar 6-ply/7.5mm
Poplar wood has been used in making drum shells for over 50 years. It offers a full, warm tone combined with medium attack.
Precise
bearing edges
A drum's bearing edge is one of the most important components in drum sound. Tama's advanced cutting-edge process provides
extremely precise bearing edges—which allow Tama shells to ring openly and fully, and provide a wide range of tuneability,
sensitivity, and response.
100% glued finishes
Some drum companies only affix their wraps to the drum shell by taping the finish at "selected contact points." At Tama, all
wrapped finishes are glued to the shell 100% to eliminate warping, buzzing, or lifting. This process allows the shell to resonate
fully and consistently. It's more work, but Tama feels the extra effort is worth it, for a difference you can see and hear.
Original
small lugs
Imperialstar lugs are 10% smaller than the lugs of Tama's previous Swingstar Series for even greater shell resonance.
Drum
heads
Batter-side heads are made of clear 250 microns-thick film for richer tone and greater durability. Ring mufflers on bass drum
heads remove the need for additional internal muffling.
Accu-Tune kick drum hoops
A special-formulation hi-tech material offers lighter weight and faster, more stable, tuning than traditional metal hoops.
In addition, since Accu-Tune hoops use tension bolts instead of clawhooks and T-rods, head changes and packing up are a breeze.
Spur
brackets
Imperialstar spur bracket features the same look and style as Tama's high-end Starclassic drums and provides maximum durability
and stability.
Tom holder
Tama L-Rod and Omnisphere tom holder systems have received acclaim from drummers for over 25 years. These systems offer easy
positioning, maximum flexibility, stability, and greater sound than standard designs which penetrate the shell interior and
can inhibit resonance.
Tom brackets
The eye-bolt structure is rock solid, holding the toms securely in place.
