Tama IP50H6-MNB Imperialstar 5-piece drum kit in Midnight Blue: fusion configuration
This Tama Imperialstar in Midnight Blue comes in a fusion configuration, which consists of a 20-inch bass drum, 10 and 12-inch toms, a 14-inch floor tom and a matching 14 x 5-inch snare. The shells are made of 6 plies of poplar and have Tama's Precision Bearing Edges. These bearing edges allow the shells to resonate freely and have a full, open sound, while also providing a great, sensitive response. The Imperialstar lugs are also among the kit's special features. These are 10% smaller than the lugs you'll find on a Tama Swingstar kit, and their compact size minimises contact with the shells, which contributes to their optimal resonance.
Midnight Blue wrap
When Tama does something, they do it right, so they have 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 wrap has been completely glued to the shells, while other manufacturers only apply glue to a few spots. Gluing the blue wrap to the entire shell (instead of just a few spots), also contributes to a better shell resonance, while also giving this Imperialstar drum kit in Midnight Blue its professional look.
Cymbals and hardware
Included, you'll find a three-piece cymbal pack from the well-known Meinl company, which includes a pair of hi-hat cymbals, a crash and a ride. You can mount these cymbals on the three included stands. These stands (straight, boom and hi-hat) are durable and easy to use. 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. The sturdy drum throne will keep you comfortable behind the kit.
