A Complete 5-piece Drum Kit with Cymbals and Hardware

Buying a "budget" set of drums can sometimes feel like a bit of a gamble. But at Sweetwater, we're committed to making sure you get your money's worth out of the gear you buy. That's why we stand behind our TAMA Imperialstar complete drum sets. For starters, you just can't beat the value of these kits, which come with a complete set of stage-ready TAMA hardware and quality Meinl cymbals. The 6-ply poplar shells sound remarkably balanced and responsive, too, making this the kind of kit you can buy as your first and end up holding onto for life. A host of premium wrapped finishes makes the Imperialstar an irresistible kit for any drummer, regardless of skill level.

Includes all you need — just add sticks

TAMA takes the guesswork out of assembling a truly playable set of drums. Included with your Imperialstar is a quality set of Meinl HCS cymbals — 14-inch hi-hats, a 16-inch crash, and a 20-inch ride — for a stage-ready sound. A TAMA single-chain-drive kick pedal provides a smooth playing action for your bass drum, and a full selection of TAMA hardware provides the stability you need. The cherry on top is an Imperialstar drum throne, which provides comfort for long playing sessions.

The warm, balanced tone of poplar

The shells of your TAMA Imperialstar are made from six plies of lightweight poplar. Poplar is known for its quick decay and full-bodied tone, which are just the qualities you want for close-miking applications onstage and in the studio.

100% glued wraps

Unlike some other kits, the Imperialstar's attractive wrapped finishes are glued 360 degrees around the shells to eliminate buzzing or lifting of any kind. This leads to long-lasting good looks and a more consistent, resonant tone throughout the kit.

Better performance through precision bearing edges

Bearing edges play a big part in how your drums sound and how they tune up over time. Fortunately, TAMA's edge-cutting process produces clean bearing edges on the Imperialstar's shells. The result is a set of drums that ring true, with a wide tuning range and sensitive playing dynamics to suit most styles of music.

TAMA: the Strongest Name in Drums for 50 years

Since 1974, TAMA has crafted drums and hardware with revolutionary features — many of which are now considered standard for virtually all drums the world over. Drummers love how TAMA looks to its glorious past by reissuing some of its most popular drums from yesteryear while continuing to hint at the future by reaffirming its commitment to pursuing original creative ideas. Sweetwater is proud to offer TAMA’s innovative products, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with “the Strongest Name in Drums.”
