Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
Reintroduced in 2006, the Imperialstar has established itself as one of the most serious entry points into the TAMA universe, with a simple philosophy: offer an accessible drum kit without sacrificing durability. Positioned as a reference for beginners or progressing players, it incorporates solutions inspired by higher-end series, notably in hardware and hardware choices. This version highlights matching wooden hoops on the bass drum, a more reassuring Stage Master double-braced hardware set for everyday use, and an Iron Cobra 200 pedal for a consistent playing feel.
Who This Drum Kit Is For
The TAMA Imperialstar primarily targets beginner to intermediate drummers who want a complete, coherent, and expandable kit. It is well suited for schools, rehearsal rooms, and home studios, thanks to an easy-to-install and transport 20" configuration. Style-wise, it performs well in pop, rock, funk, gospel/worship, and light jazz, offering an effective balance between punch, definition, and control.
Features and Innovations
The Omnisphere Tom Holder system facilitates precise tom positioning while avoiding unnecessary damping of shell vibrations. The Original Small Lugs contribute to the same goal by reducing mass on the shell for freer response. The Precision Bearing Edges promote uniform head-to-shell contact, useful for achieving stable tuning, more controlled harmonics, and a clear attack. Finally, the Stage Master double-braced hardware secures adjustments, while the Iron Cobra 200 pedal provides smooth and solid strokes, ideal for developing consistency.
Sound Characteristics
With its poplar shells (6-ply, 8 mm), the Imperialstar offers a naturally warm sound focused on low-mids, with a quick attack and rather controlled sustain: a very effective profile for rehearsal, home recording, and modern mixes. The 20"x16" bass drum delivers tight and clear low end, easy to place without overwhelming the spectrum, while the 10"x7" and 12"x8" toms provide clear and defined notes. The 14"x12" floor tom adds broader roundness for fills, and the 14"x5" snare maintains a good balance between crack, precision, and sensitivity, from nuanced playing to strong backbeats.
