zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Overall: Sold as an entry/intermediate kit, but honestly, if they had the starmount tom mounting system,you'd have a pro kit! Replace the heads with some Remos or the like and they tune up pretty good. Nice overtones aquired with Remo coated Emporer heads all around. The Meinl cymbals or OK, but quite heavy and dark. Good for some deathmetal or heavy hitting rock, but an upgrade to some decent discs would not hurt. Built well and all hardware included does what it is supposed to do! Kick drum pedal is quite adjustable along with the rest of the included Tama Stagemaster line of hardware. Would definatley recomend this kit for a really solid beginner on up player. Tama has been building some high quality drums in the past and these are no exception! Andwhat a killer price on these bad boys!!

Sound: The imperialstar has a sound similar to the set of ludwig maple shells I used to own. The meinl cymbals were a surprisingly good sound. I did opt for a set of Zildjian ZBT Pro. I like the cleaner and less gongy sound. Feature: The hardware was easy to assemble and set up. There are a great set of heads. And the bass was solid with no muffling for tone.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

3. You'll get your gear fast

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

4. We make returns super easy

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
