Overview:

With nearly 40 years of drum building experience, TAMA knows what drummers really want. Which is why TAMA has the set you need, want, and can afford no matter how long you've been playing drums or what budget you have to work with. TAMA launched the most affordable kit to ever incorporate so many high-end features - Imperialstar (IM52KH6HC). Every aspect of the modern drum kit was exhaustively examined, reexamined, and then improved before it was accepted as part of the Imperialstar design.

That's why, if you start playing Imperialstar drums now as a beginner, you'll still be enjoying them when you've achieved pro status.

Features:

• Shells:100% poplar 6ply/7.5mm - Poplar wood has been used in making drum shell for over 50 years. It offers a full, warm tone combined with medium attack.
• TAMA Precision Bearing Edges - A drum's bearing edge is one of the most important components in drum sound.Our advanced edge-cutting process provides extremely precise bearing edges - which allow TAMA shells to ring openly and fully, and provide a wide range of tune ability, sensitivity and response.
• Wraps-glued to the shell - Some drum companies only affix their wraps to the drum shell by taping the finish at "selected contact points". At TAMA, all of our 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 it's worth it. A difference you can see and hear!

• Original Small Lugs - Imperialstar lugs are 10% smaller than the lugs of our previous Swingstar Series for even greater shell resonance.
• Accu-Tune Bass 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 brackets provide 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 in place securely.
• Iron Cobra 200Pedal & STAGE MASTER Hardware Stands - Imperialstar hardware is heavily influenced by our high-end "Roadpro" hardware series. These stands provide stability, ease-of-use, and durability at an affordable price.
