Overview
Includes Tama's Ready to Rock Meinl Cymbal package.
Features
Shells: 100% poplar 6ply/7.5mm
Poplar wood has been used in making drum shell for over 50 years. It offers a full, warm tone combined with medium attack.
Precise Bearing Edges
A drum's bearing edge 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 tune ability, sensitivity and response.
100% Glued Finishes
Some drum companies only affix their wraps to the drum shell by taping the finish at "selected contact points". At Tama, all of our 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 it's worth it. A difference you can see and hear!
Original Small Lugs
Imperialstar lugs are 10%smaller than the lugs of our previous Swingstar Series for even greater shell resonance.
Drum Heads
Batter side heads are made of clear 250 microns thick film for richer tone and greater durability. Ring mufflers on bass drum heads remove the need for additional internal muffling.
Accu-Tune Bass Drum Hoops
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.
Spur… read more Brackets
Imperialstar spur bracket features the same look and style as our high-end Starclassic drums and provides maximum durability and stability.
Tom Holder
Tama L-Rod and Omnisphere tom holder systems have received acclaim from drummers for over 25years. These systems offer easy positioning, maximum flexibility, stability and greater sound than standard designs which penetrate the shell interior and can inhibit resonance.
Tom Brackets
The eye-bolet structure is rock solid, holding the toms in place securely. read less

Cymbals are not the best, but also not the worst I have ever heard... I used to play with 6 Zildjans...so nothing can compare. For an affordable set they are more than adequate .
Sound
I bought this set for my 11 year old son. As a former drummer that played a big Slingerland 6 pc.set, I am very pleased at how these sound. I spent an extra $200-$250 to get this set over a lower grade beginner set. Well worth the extra cash because he will be playing these for years to come with no need to upgrade unless he turns into a Niel Peart.
Features
Very good hardware for the price.Rock solid when I am hitting them as hard as I can. So I know they can handle whatever my 11 year old throws at them.
Ease of Use
If you have ever owned a drum set in your life, it will take you about 45 minutes to set this up.I never looked at the instructions, but if you have never put a set together, I would guess it would take about 1:15 - 1:30 hours tops to get it together . Looked at the instructions later and they were very good.
Quality
Look great ....Sound great...I have always liked Tama & glad they make more affordable sets. This is not a low end drum set....it is built solid & will last a long time! I read that some people did not like the heads...actually I was quite surprised at how good these sound. Heads are cheap and you will probably need to replace them with in a year… read more or two anyway . That would be the time to up grade if desired.
Value
This is a lot of drum set for the money. Do not buy a used set for a couple of hundred less.... get this new and you won't be disappointed.
Manufacturer Support
No problems and do not see anything that could possibly go wrong with this purchase.
The Wow Factor
Once again.....with price in mind .....this is a great buy. Bass pedal is about an 8 out of 10. Hi Hat is the same.
