Tama ImperialStar 5pc Complete Drum Set W/ Meinl Cymbals, Hardware, Throne - Candy Apple Mist

The Tama Imperialstar Series delivers a full-scale drum setup at a price that makes sense for both new and advancing players. Each package is a true turnkey solution: durable double-braced hardware, responsive poplar shells, and a complete set of Meinl cymbals—everything you need to start playing right away.

While Imperialstar kits are budget-friendly enough for beginners, their refined construction, versatile sound, and fresh upgrades—like matching wood bass-drum hoops, redesigned tom mounts, and rugged hardware—make them equally appealing to intermediate drummers gigging across genres from jazz and R&B to rock.

Poplar Shells for Classic Warmth

The Imperialstar’s 6-ply, 8 mm 100% poplar shells draw on over 50 years of proven tonewood tradition. Poplar’s warm, full-bodied sound and balanced attack make it ideal for a wide range of styles. Tama’s precision bearing-edge cutting technology ensures consistent tone and resonance, giving each drum a wide tuning range with excellent sensitivity and response.

All-Inclusive Hardware & Cymbals

Every Imperialstar kit ships with genuine Meinl HCS brass cymbals—14″ hi-hats, a 16″ crash, and a 20″ ride—plus the full complement of Tama hardware:

• Bass-mounted double tom holder (MTH600)

• Hi-hat stand

• Single bass-drum pedal

• Snare stand

• Boom and straight cymbal stands

• Drum throne

This all-in-one approach means you’re set up to play immediately with professional feel and stability.
