TAMA IMPERIALSTAR

[@therealbrentrolland]

Tama, I'm thrilled with the 2023 upgrades for the Imperialstar line. Wood hoops on every configuration, stunning wrap colors, black-on-black edition, precision bearing edges, even down to the grosgrain ribbon holding the snare wires-I'm loving every detail and even a semi-pro like me would be honored to be behind this kit. Well done and thank you!

[@damnyankeefl]

I haven't seen one with wood hoops yet

[@M4RCM0NT31R0]

That yellow imperialstar gives me Tony Williams vibes

[@anthonythedeadguy]

The Tama KZbin Channel Is Criminally Underrated. Thats A Sweet Drum Set As Well! 👍

[@latindrummer777]

I love how they brought back stronger Tom holder memory locks and the stage master hardware. I only wish they could bring back larger toms and have a white finish available.

[@michal.kozlikowski.drummer]

You can order individual toms, like 13", or even 18" flor tom. :)

[@totigerus]

@@michal.kozlikowski.drummer still no 14” rack though 😭

[@latindrummer777]

​@@michal.kozlikowski.drummer Thats nice and all, although I was thinking maybe have tom sizes such 10x9 12x10 and 16x16 already for the kit. Powersizes! Bring back those power toms!!! >:)

[@jspearsmusic]

I like the short stack toms better but yeah idk why they had that cheap hardware with the imperialstar for a couple years. The hardware used to be bang for your buck. Glad they brought it back finally.

[@courtneygillespie1187]

Yellow 😎 I like the way they pop 👌

[@miker5233]

It's about time they got rid of those plastic Hoops on the bass drum

[@s0spr1ng3r]

No more Meinl cymbals included?

[@therealbrentrolland]

@@s0spr1ng3r Good point-I think Tama did right here in a way. I think with the upgrades from 2022's Imperialstar, I don't miss the cymbals at all. The "complete drumset and cymbals in a box" deal is gone and is probably a bummer to drummers who are starting out or who want an all-in-one package. And, there's a ton of value of having a really, really nice kit and the openness to buy different cymbals.

[@s0spr1ng3r]

@@therealbrentrolland Looks like they have created another line under the Imperialstar line called Stagestar.

[@moejartin3258]

Best thing they could've done. It did a lot for the overall appeal of the kit.

[@kbar3612]

@@s0spr1ng3r stagestar has been around a while. My friend has one from I think the 80s. Their bringing them back.

😂 thought we were going to get "Beat It"

Bro i was hyped up 💀

[@robinbolton6064]

Was waitin' for it.....:(

Same!!!

[@1thess523]

Finally a yellow drum set, yellow isn't too common these day's

[@jcdrums2798]

Tama forever the best!

[@cesaralejandrohernandezbez6554]

I ❤ Tama Drums forever, I keep my superstar Drum kit.

[@chalocide]

BRING SILVERSTARS BACK!

[@tonialacran8688]

I love the yellow imperialstar kit😍

[@shanehaney2121]

I got super lucky with my Imperialstar, and got one of the matte black-on-black 6-piece kits while they were still made in Taiwan.

[@eggysauce]

This is nice. But can we bring back deeper toms? I like power sizes (10x9, 12x13, 16x16 floor).

[@alexgeo5599]

Dude i ordered this set before christmas and it is coming tomorrow! If only i could have the iron cobra pedal tho!

[@danlc95]

I liked the fusion configurations from the late 90's / early 2000's. I RARELY use a 16" floor tom. No need the 14 does everything I need it to.

[@CharlesMoir-lv7um]

I bought set of imperial Stars from Sweetwater 8 month ago with the plastic hoops on the bass ,I wish they would have said the new launch came out ,i much rather had the up grade, on that set .I am disappoint

[@demonicsweaters]

Imperialstars are great kits, but there a few things Tama should do in my opinion. #1 offer the kits without hardware and cymbals. Even though it's not mentioned in this video, you can't seem to buy these things without the HCS cymbals. Brass HCS cymbals are not really usable in any real sense with the exception of maybe the hi hats. Making these kits $1000 when you can get a Birch Yamaha Stage Custom for $799 as a shell pack makes more sense for most people. #2 A lot of people, including me don't like 18" depth bass drums. They don't really sound bigger, just muddier in most cases. 16x22 is the perfect size, and should at least still be offered. #3 I think for $1000 you'd be better off selling a shell pack with cases and remo or evans heads, rather than including cheap brass cymbals and hardware.

[@carloagua8287]

The best quality in the world

[@jamieertley310]

Question Will those wood hoops match older imperialstar kits? (looking at the burnt red mist)

[@kbar3612]

Umm, pro drummers love it too!!

[@martinleicht5911]

Vell done !! 😎 👍 🔥🔥🔥

[@IronPatriots33]

J´ai reçu mon Imperialstar Dark Blue le 30 décembre 2022.

[@emmafit2426]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Randomname9094]

4 configurations, does this mean there will be no 7 pc with the double kick anymore?😮

[@matthewg4556]

Tama has fallen off in past years for entry level kits, good to see them trying to recover.

[@donalddaimari3091]

When it will be available in India ?

[@Crash10101010]

Do all Imperialstars come with an Iron Cobra 200 style hi hat stand too or are the pedals mismatched like in the video?

[@franciscoduenascatalan1254]

Mi tama es la que trae los anillos de plastico en el bombo de 22 y si trae tama iron cobra 200

[@jspearsmusic]

They finally brought back the stage master hardware bundle with the kit. Yessir. Back like it used to be! Yellow finish is killing.

[@leonedwards7745]

Bring back the metal hoops... the metal hoops keep the bass drum pedal from sliding off due to the structure.

[@damnyankeefl]

seems like these aren't available in the US yet...waiting...

[@dadina_zote]

Nice love those 22×18 bass drums!!

[@jazzsalamo8146]

Which is better this one or the pearl export?

[@demonicsweaters]

I would consider them equal quality drums

[@dakinefaka]

I guess cymbals are no longer included. Because of the upgrades.

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

The toms need to be deeper.

[@normanwilmoth7404]

The imperialstar is a good beginner drum for sure especially the price point. The best deal in the whole industry of all drum makers for a solid intermediate player and the sound quality if set it up right can fit a professional setting is easily the Newer series Tama superstar classics /classic customs in my opinion plus they're maple😁 My daily practice kit is tama's crazy offer of a 7piece superstar classic custom and the color is dark indigo burst. I've played 29 years and the way I got this kit sounding is truly unbelievable, it's professional sounding, and very durable at a crazy low price for what you get! When it comes to the superstar their no other drum makers out there can offer so much all around for less $ as Tama does! My Top baby though is Tama's 7 piece Tama Star natural quilted mahogony, no words can describe this quality, beauty and especially the sound quality of this dream kit🥰😉🤫😁

Nijika

[@evilcapricorn9328]

Who is Nijika? For the blind, she is vision. For the hungry, she is the chef. For the thirsty, she is water. If Nijika thinks, I agree. If Nijika speaks, I'm listening. If Nijika has a million fans, I am one of them. If Nijika has ten fans, I am one of them. If Nijika has only one fan, that is me. If Nijika has no fans, I no longer exist. If the whole world is against Nijika, I am against the whole world. I will love Nijika until my very last breath.

[@damnyankeefl]

ok where are these for sale....everyone is still selling the old ones

[@evilcapricorn9328]

Looks like stores are receiving them in about 2 weeks from what I can tell
