They produce clean sonic separation and are highly durable to allow full dynamic exploration.

Tama brings their hardware expertise to Imperialstar by offering a super sturdy and highly adjustable ball/socket 10.5mm double tom holder with memory locks, a height adjustable padded throne and double-braced, three-tiered cymbal stands that combine stability with full height adjustment/positioning. Bass drum pedal and hi-hat stand are critical to any drummer's performance expression, therefore Tama includes a bass drum pedal that has an underside rock plate for stability, along with independent tension and beater-angle adjustments to allow drummers to find their desired bass drum feel. The double-braced hi-hat stand assures stability and includes secure-grip clutch for prolonged and secure performance, along with seat-cup angle adjustment for customized cymbal feel.

The drums look cool. Thats about it. These kits have gone downhill. I bought one 4 years ago and the hardware was sturdy and the shells were amazing. Now days, these kits come with the absolute cheapest hardware and I cannot get good tone out of the shells even with new heads.
