Tama IP52KC Imperialstar Accel Driver Drum Set, 5-Piece

No longer available at zZounds
With pro features like its precision bearing edges, Accu-Tune bass drum hoops, and 100% poplar shells, this Tama kit delivers tons of bang for your buck.

With nearly 40 years of drum building experience, Tama knows what drummers really want. Which is why TAMA has the set you need, want, and can afford no matter how long you've been playing drums or what budget you have to work with.

Tama launched the most affordable kit to ever incorporate so many high-end features - Imperialstar. Every aspect of the modern drum kit was exhaustively examined, reexamined, and then improved before it was accepted as part of the Imperialstar design.

That's why, if you start playing Imperialstar drums now as a beginner, you'll still be enjoying them when you've achieved pro status.

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.

Tama Precision 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.

Wraps-glued to the shell

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

read more Imperialstar lugs are 10% smaller than the lugs of our previous Swingstar Series for even greater shell resonance.

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 claw hooks and T-rods, head changes and packing up are a breeze.

Spur Brackets

Imperialstar spur brackets provide maximum durability and stability.

Tom Holder

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 Brackets

The eye-bolt structure is rock solid, holding the toms in place securely.

Iron Cobra 200 Pedal and Stage Master Hardware Stands

Imperialstar hardware is heavily influenced by our high-end Roadpro hardware series. These stands provide stability, ease-of-use, and durability at an affordable price.

Meinl HCS Cymbals

Imperialstar all-in-one Ready-to-Rock packages not only have everything you need to rock, you'll rock better with HCS genuine brass cymbals from Meinl(R), the cymbal maker of choice for many of today's drummers.

Got this set a few days ago. Awesome set for a beginner or intermediate player. Comes with everything you need, just got to take out the box and set up and your good to go. Tuning is a must, was going to change the heads to some Evans G2's but unfortunately my neighbor didn't take a liking to the noise so I'm forced to return it for an electronic kit. Hands down ZZounds is the best in the business, got my set on time, their customer service is awesome and were quick and easy with instructing on the return process. Definitely a life time customer here.
