Tama Imperialstar 20 Inch 5 Piece Drum Kit - Blacked Out Black

The Tama Imperialstar is one of the most respected entry-level drum kits on the market, and this Blacked Out Black configuration shows exactly why. Finished head to toe in a bold unicolour black wrap with black nickel shell hardware, it delivers a striking, cohesive look that punches well above its price point. Whether you are picking up sticks for the first time or returning to the kit as an intermediate player, the Imperialstar is built to grow with you.

At the heart of this kit are 6-ply poplar shells, a material that has been used in drum construction for over 50 years for good reason. Poplar produces a full, warm tone with medium attack, making it equally at home across a wide range of musical styles from jazz and R&B to rock. The 20 inch bass drum provides a solid, punchy low end, while the 10 inch and 12 inch rack toms and 14 inch floor tom give you a well-balanced spread of tones across the kit.

Tama's precision bearing edge process is one of the standout features of the Imperialstar line. Each edge is cut to an exceptionally high standard, allowing the shells to ring openly and fully. The result is a kit that offers impressive tunability, sensitivity and response for its class. The bass drum wood hoops are finished to match the rest of the kit, giving the whole setup a clean, unified appearance.

Hardware is another area where the Imperialstar over-delivers. The kit includes Tama's Stage Master double-braced stands throughout, covering hi-hat, snare, boom cymbal and straight cymbal stands, all chosen for their durability and stability. The MTH600 double tom holder uses Tama's acclaimed L-Rod and Omnisphere mounting system, which has been a favourite among drummers for over 25 years. Unlike conventional designs that penetrate the shell interior, this system avoids inhibiting resonance, helping your toms sound their best. A single bass drum pedal and a drum throne with a 13 inch round seat and a stable base complete the package.

Everything you need to start playing is included in the box, making the Imperialstar an excellent choice for beginners who want a reliable, complete setup without hidden extras. Intermediate players will appreciate the quality of the shells, hardware and mounting systems, which hold their own in rehearsal rooms and on smaller stages alike.
