Definite starters drum set

The set came as advertised & Adorama was a pleasure to do business with. Only complaints are with Tama about some cheap (plastic) hardware

Best starter kit for the money

My little brother who’s in his 20s now is an accomplished musician: equally adept at lead guitar, bass guitar, and vocals. But his passion is drumming, so he was the logical choice to assist me in finding a starter kit for my pre-teen son. I’d been looking at the Tama Imperialstar kit for years, but my brother said to give him a few days and he’d find a better kit for less money leading up to Black Friday. Two days later, he said that he couldn’t find anything close to the Imperialstar.So we ordered it, and he came over to help us set up the kit, tune it, and test it out. During assembly, he was amazed at all the high-end features Tama included in this small, entry-level drum set, as well as all the hardware. It even comes with a throne! The throne can’t support anything heavier than a tissue without the seat sinking, but it works fine for my kids for the time being. We made sure to purchase drumsticks, ear protection, moongels, and a kickpad. We’ll upgrade the heads in a year.

Tama Imperialstar

Tama Imperialstar.

With over 40 years of drum building experience, TAMA knows what drummers really want. With this in mind we sought out to design an affordable yet durable kit that retained many high-end features you'll find in our Silverstar, Superstar, and Starclassic lines. What we came up with was Imperialstar. Every aspect of the modern drum kit was exhaustively examined, reexamined, and then improved before it was accepted as part of the Imperialstar design. This Imperialstar kit features Black Nickel drum shell hardware over a matted black wrap finish. This finish combination provides added visual allure to Tama's popular Imperialstar drum set series.

Imperialstar complete drum kits provide everything a drummer needs at an affordable price. The Imperialstar line offers various choices of kit configurations and finishes, availability of add-on drums, precisely-processed drum shells and reliable, durable hardware. Imperialstar may appeal to beginner drummers due to the price, but more experienced intermediate players enjoy playing great-sounding Imperialstar kits in every music genre from jazz and R&B to rock.

Shells:100% Poplar 8mm 6ply.

Shells:100% Poplar 8mm 6ply.
Poplar wood has been used in making drum shell for over 50 years. It offers a full, warm tone combined with medium attack.

MEINL HCS Cymbals.
Imperialstar all-in-one "READY-TO-ROCK" packages not only have everything you need to rock, you'll rock better with HCS genuine brass cymbals from Meinl, the cymbal maker of choice for many of today's new generation drummers.

Spur Brackets.
Imperialstar spur brackets provide maximum durability and stability.

TAMA Precision Bearing Edges.
A drum's bearing edge is one of the most important components in drum sound.
