Tama Imperialstar Tom Drum

The Tama Imperialstars are some of the most affordable drums to ever incorporate so many high-end features. Every aspect of the Imperialstar Toms was exhaustively examined, reexamined, and then improved before it was accepted as part of the Imperialstar design. That is why, if you start playing Imperialstar drums now as a beginner, you'll still be enjoying them when you've achieved pro status.

100% poplar 6ply/7.5mm Shells
Poplar wood has been used in making drum shell for over 50 years. It offers a full, warm tone combined with medium attack.

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

100% Glued Finishes
Some drum companies only affix their wraps to the drum shell by taping the finish at selected contact points. At Tama, all of the 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!

Drum Heads
Batter side heads are made of clear 250 microns thick film for richer tone and greater durability. Ring mufflers on bass drum heads remove the need for additional internal muffling.
