Tama IP52KH6-MNB Imperialstar 5-piece drum set Midnight Blue: rock

This Imperialstar in Midnight Blue comes in a rock-configuration, which consists of a 22 x 18-inch bass drum, 10 x 8 and 12 x 9-inch toms, a 16 x 14-inch floor tom and a matching 14 x 5-inch snare. The shells are made of 6 plies of poplar (7.5 mm thick) and have Tama's Precision Bearing Edges. These bearing edges make sure that the shells can resonate freely and have an open sound, while also creating a sensitive response. Among the kit's other special features are the Imperialstar lugs. These lugs are 10% smaller than the Swingstar lugs, which also helps the shells resonate better.

Midnight Blue wrap

Tama has taken a good look at every little detail on this drum kit, and then decided what needed improvement. A great example is the fact that the blue wrap has been completely glued to the shells. Applying the glue to the entire shell (instead of just a few spots), also contributes to a better shell resonance, while giving this Midnight Blue drum kit a professional look.

Cymbals and hardware

Included with this drum set is a set of three MCS cymbals from the famous Meinl brand. You can mount these cymbals on three (also included) sturdy, durable and easy-to-use stands (straight, boom and hi-hat). The toms will feel right at home on Tama's tried-and-true tom mounting system, which is easy to adjust, but also provides the toms with plenty of stability, while allowing them to resonate freely. The special Accu-Tune bass drum hoops are also very reliable, and they make sure your bass drum stays in tune for much longer.
