Play with Confidence – The Tama Imperialstar 5-Piece Complete Drum Kit with 18-Inch Bass Drum in Dark Blue

Tama’s Imperialstar drum series is known as the industry standard for beginning drummers who want a high-quality drum set experience at an excellent value. Tama’s philosophy is that the beginning or aspiring drummer realizes maximum enjoyment and personal fulfillment on a fully functional, highly durable, and quality sounding acoustic drum set and cymbal package. This is the foundation for Tama, and they designed Imperialstar to be a proven value that is uncommon in the world of today’s entry-level drum set category.

• 100% poplar 6-ply, 8mm shells
• Precision bearing edges for sound transfer
• Durable glued wrap finishes
• Ultra low-mass lugs for rich tom resonance
• Includes Meinl HCS series cymbals
• Double-braced, three-tiered cymbal stands
• Height-adjustable padded throne
• 10.5mm double tom holder with memory locks
• Bass drum pedal with rock plate, tension, and angle adjustments

For Tama, sound and durability go hand-in-hand and Imperialstar delivers on both accounts. 100% poplar 6-ply, 8mm shells achieve full, deep sounds that include Tama’s precision bearing edges for efficient sound transfer from drumhead to shell. The wrap finishes are fully adhered to the shell using a gluing process (not double-sided tape) to produce a strong bond that allows the shell and wrap to fully resonate as one. Ultra low-mass lugs further enable toms and floor toms to reach their full, rich tones.

Tama fully supports the idea that good sounding cymbals are critical to an essential acoustic drum set experience, so they have collaborated with Meinl on the cymbal setup and include Meinl’s HCS series cymbals. They produce clean sonic separation and are highly durable to allow full dynamic exploration.

Good quality hardware is essential to an enjoyable drum set experience and Tama has a glowing reputation for making the highest-grade hardware in the industry. Tama brings their hardware expertise to Imperialstar by offering a super sturdy and highly adjustable ball/socket 10.5mm double tom holder with memory locks, a height-adjustable padded throne, and double-braced, three-tiered cymbal stands that combine stability with full height adjustment and positioning.

Bass drum pedal and hi-hat stand are critical to any drummer’s performance expression, therefore Tama includes a bass drum pedal that has an underside rock plate for stability, along with independent tension and beater-angle adjustments to allow drummers to find their desired bass drum feel. The double-braced hi-hat stand assures stability and includes secure-grip clutch for prolonged and secure performance, along with seat-cup angle adjustment for customized cymbal feel.

Several configurations and finishes are available to customize the appropriate drum sizes and finish aesthetic for each individual. Add-on drums are available to accommodate drum set expansion.

Imperialstar offers the entry-level drummer incredible value derived from a different kind of product experience. Tama invites players to engage in their full drum set potential by exploring the Imperialstar acoustic drum set experience.
