Since returning to the lineup in 2006, the Imperialstar series has become a standard-bearer for complete acoustic drum kits. True to TAMA’s reputation, it combines solid construction and excellent reliability with a particularly generous hardware package.

Drawing on technical features found in the brand's higher-end series, the Imperialstar incorporates the Omnisphere tom holder, robust Stage Master hardware, and the Iron Cobra 200 pedal. The entire package offers a genuine sense of quality that goes far beyond a typical entry-level kit.

Who is this kit for?

The TAMA Imperialstar is ideal for beginner drummers looking to invest in a complete, reliable, and upgradeable drum kit. It is also well-suited for intermediate players seeking a versatile kit for rehearsals, lessons, home studio work, or gigs in small-to-medium-sized venues.

Thanks to its 20-inch configuration, it adapts naturally to a wide range of musical styles, including rock, pop, funk, blues, R&B, and modern jazz. Built to Last

The poplar shells feature precision-machined bearing edges that make tuning easy and ensure consistent response across the entire kit. The Omnisphere suspension system offers extensive adjustability while minimizing contact points with the toms, thereby enhancing their natural resonance.

The double-braced Stage Master hardware ensures excellent stability, even under heavy use. Meanwhile, the Iron Cobra 200 pedal delivers a smooth, consistent stroke—ideal for developing technique or gaining precision during both rehearsals and live performances.

A Warm, Versatile Sound

Poplar shells produce a round, warm tone featuring solid low-end, well-defined mids, and balanced attack. This sonic signature allows the kit to sit easily in a mix while remaining simple to mic up and tune.

The 20" x 16" bass drum strikes an excellent balance between depth, impact, and control, performing equally well in rehearsal and live settings. The toms respond quickly with great clarity, while the floor tom adds depth without excessive resonance. The 14" x 5" snare drum delivers a crisp, precise attack, suitable for everything from energetic backbeats to subtle nuances.

Wooden bass drum hoops contribute to the overall roundness of the sound while enhancing the instrument's visual appeal. Finally, the Meinl HCS cymbal pack (hi-hat, crash, and ride) rounds out the setup, providing a cohesive solution for getting started right away with quality gear.
