Tama Imperialstar 5 Piece Drum Set with Hardware and Cymbals (Assorted Colors)

Inspired by the Iron Cobra "Spring Tight" feature, this specially shaped nut prevents the spring unit from loosening.

Drum Pedal HP30 Spring Tension Adjustment

The scooped Safety Seat adds more stability to the bottom cymbal and can be adjusted for changes in hi-hat tone. Since the felt is fixed to the seat, it cannot be lost during transport.

Hi-hat Stand HH35W Safety bottom Seat

Since the foot pedal can be rotated around the tripod base, the Swivel Foot feature greatly expands floor space and set-up flexibility.

Hi-hat Stand HH35W Swivel Foot

Universal Gearless Tilter The universal tilter securely holds its position with metal-plate friction instead of traditional gears so you can adjust it to any angle you desire.

Snare Stand HS30W

No room for a boom? Simply convert to a straight stand! The boom arm stores neatly inside the upper tube.

Boom / Straight convertible Tilter (HC33BW)

TAMA L-rod and Omnisphere tom holder systems have received acclaim from drummers for over 25 years. These systems offer easy positioning, maximum flexibility, stability and greater sound than standard designs which penetrate the shell interior and can inhibit resonance.

Tom Holder

New design spur bracket features the same look and style as our high-end Starclassic drums and provides maximum durability and stability.

Spur brackets

A special formulation hi-tech material offers lighter weight, and faster, more stable tuning than traditional metal hoops. In addition, since Accu-Tune hoops use tension bolts instead of clawhooks and T-rods, head changes and packing up are a breeze.

Accu-tune Bass Hoop

Our new lugs are 10% smaller than the lugs of our previous Swingstar Series for even greater shell resonance.

New Design Lugs

The bearing edge of a drum is one of the most important components in drum sound. Our 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.

Precision Bearing Edges

Now you can switch quickly and easily between the two very different sounds of nylon and felt. For an even bigger sound, the DS30 offers a larger hitting surface.

Drum Pedal HP30 Dual Sided Beater

Most pedals in this price range do not feature adjustable beater/footboard angles. But the HP30 comes standard with an angle adjustment system.

No more hi-hat rods getting bent out of shape during transport! With Spare-The-Rod, you can save your hi-hat rod from the rigors of the road by packing it in the specially designed upper tube section of pipe.

Hi-hat Stand HH35W Spare-The-Rod- Hi-hat Rod Protector

The "Escape Claws" rubber cushions support the snare drum by "floating" on the metal support arms for improved resonance. In addition, they help reduce fatigue by softening the impact on your arms and wrists while playing the snare drum.

Escape Claws

Universal height adjustment: Unlike other thrones in this price range, ours offers more height adjustment flexibility. Others use a bolt and nut through pre-set holes in the center tube. Seat Top: This 13" diameter seat is larger than the previous Swingstar seat.

Throne HT25

Just as with the high-end Roadpro hardware, Stagemaster stands were designed with the elimination of noise a top priority. A special rubber cap (A) at the end of the upper tube eliminates swaying and rattling, and a special nylon sleeve (B) underneath the die-cast joint of the base section further reduces vibration and swaying.

Noiseless Design

Tama has upgraded to high-quality German-made brass cymbals that feature greater stick definition and livelier sound. The heavier weights and larger bells of these new cymbals offer brighter sounds, higher pitch and more cut than their predecessors-check out the 20" ride cymbal bell, which has absolutely amazing cut! The hammer marks and brilliant finish provide an appearance that is as impressive and professional as the sound.

Cymbals

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

Drum heads

Some drum companies only affix their wraps to the drum shell by taping the finish at select 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. A difference you can see and hear!
