The Tama Imperialstar 5-piece Standard Drum Set is the most affordable Tama drum kit ever to incorporate so many high-end features.With over 40 years of experience, Tama knows what drummers really want. Which is why, no matter how long you’ve been playing the drums, no matter what budget you have to work with, Tama has the set you need, want, and can afford. Every aspect of the modern drum kit was exhaustively examined and reexamined and then improved before it was accepted as part of the Imperialstar design. Which is why, if you start playing Imperialstar now as a beginner, you’ll still enjoy playing it when you’ve achieved pro-status. That’s how good these groundbreaking drums are.Only Tama Imperialstar comes with a complete set of genuine Meinl HCS cymbals. These high-quality brass cymbals are made in Germany and are sonically matched so they sound great together. They are even lathed for a more refined tonal character. The set includes 14 hi-hats, 16 crash and an 20 ride cymbal.Tama Drum Shells:100% poplar 6-ply/7.5mmPoplar wood has been used in making drum shells for over 50 years. It offers a full, warm tone combined with medium attack.Precise Bearing EdgesA 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 tuneability, sensitivity, and response.100% Glued FinishesSome drum companies only affix their wraps to the drum shell by taping the finish at selected contact points. At Tama, all 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 Tama feels the extra effort is worth it, for a difference you can see and hear.Original Small LugsImperialstar lugs are 10% smaller than the lugs of Tama’s prevConfigurationBass drum(s):22 x 18Tom(s):10 x 8, 12 x 9Floor tom(s):16 x 14Snare:14 x 5-1/2Total pieces:5ExtrasCymbals:YesTotal cymbals:3Hardware:YesBass pedal:YesHi-hat stand:YesBoom stand:YesStraight stand:YesThrone:YesHardware pieces:6ShellsShell material:PoplarConstruction:6-PlyThickness (mm):7.5Bearing edge:45Ã?°Drum HardwareMaterial:SteelMounts:TraditionalHoops:Info not availableLugs:StandardOtherHeads:FactoryFinish type:WrapOrigin country:China Drums & Percussion, Acoustic Drums, Acoustic Drum Sets, Complete Drum Sets Tama J04278.005 IP52KCCPM Kit Tama, Complete Drum Sets |
