Since returning to the catalog in 2006, the Imperialstar series has established itself as a benchmark for complete acoustic drum kits. True to TAMA's philosophy, it offers an accessible kit without compromising on build quality or hardware reliability.

The Imperialstar incorporates several features developed for the brand's higher-end lines, such as the Omnisphere tom holder, double-braced Stage Master hardware, and the Iron Cobra 200 pedal. This design allows it to deliver performance worthy of a much more advanced instrument while remaining incredibly easy to play and set up.

Who is this drum kit for?

The TAMA Imperialstar IP50H6W is designed for beginner drummers looking to invest in a genuine, complete, durable, and ready-to-play kit. It is also suitable for intermediate musicians seeking a reliable kit for rehearsals, home studios, music schools, or gigs in small- to medium-sized venues.

Thanks to its versatile configuration and balanced sound, it adapts easily to a wide range of musical styles—from rock and pop to funk, R&B, and even jazz (with a more open tuning). Built to Last

Every element of the Imperialstar has been designed to make the drummer's life easier. The shells feature precision-machined bearing edges to facilitate tuning and ensure consistent response across the entire head tension range.

The Omnisphere mounting system, combined with TAMA's signature L-Rod mount, offers a wide range of adjustments while minimizing contact points with the toms. This design promotes better resonance and more natural sustain without compromising stability.

The bass drum spurs ensure excellent stability on the floor, while the matching wood hoops enhance both the kit's aesthetics and its sonic character. Finally, the double-braced Stage Master hardware and Iron Cobra 200 pedal guarantee a stable, smooth, and durable playing experience, even under heavy use.

A Warm, Versatile Sound

The poplar shells produce a round, warm tone featuring strong low-end, balanced mids, and a moderate attack. This sound profile makes the kit easy to play while offering enough character to handle more demanding musical situations.

The responsive snare, well-defined toms, and natural-sounding bass drum make it easy to achieve a cohesive sound that works just as well in rehearsal as it does in the studio or on stage.

Poplar also offers the advantage of accommodating a wide range of tunings. At higher tensions, the kit gains precision and projection; at lower tensions, it delivers deep, warm tones particularly well-suited to rock, pop, or modern grooves. This versatility makes the Imperialstar an excellent companion that will support a drummer's growth for years to come.
