Tama Imperialstar IPT10A-HBK 10 x 8-inch tom Hairline Black

General

The Tama IPT10A-HBK is a 10 x 8-inch tom made of 6 plies of poplar and finished in Hairline Black. The poplar gives this tom a clear tone and great resonance, while the compact Imperialstar lugs and Tama Precision Bearing Edges help the 7.5mm-thick shell resonate freely.

Completely glued wrap

Tama took a good look at every little detail of their Imperialstar drums, and then decided what needed improvement. A great example is the fact that the wrap has been glued to the shell of this snare drum in its entirety, while other manufacturers only apply glue to a few spots. Gluing the entire wrap to the shell, combined with the bearing edges and small lugs, gives this 10-inch tom its sublime resonance. A high-quality tom for a low price!
