The Tama Imperialstar is a 6-piece acoustic kit with poplar shells, a 22-inch bass drum and a natural zebrawood wrap finish. It ships with a 14-inch hi-hat pair and an 18-inch crash/ride, so a beginner can play out of the box without buying cymbals separately. Poplar keeps the price down and gives a warm, rounded tone rather than the punch of birch or maple. At $949.99 at eBay as of November 7, 2026, it sits at the top of its recent range, with 4 stores listing it new.

Owners of the Imperialstar line generally treat it as a solid step-up kit for the money, with the included cymbals seen as a convenience rather than a highlight. Most criticism centers on the stock cymbals and the softer tone of poplar shells.
