Warm-sounding poplar shells

The 6-ply, 100% poplar shells produce a round, balanced sound that’s easy to control. Their wide tuning range lets you achieve both deep and more precise tones, depending on your musical style. You’ll enjoy a versatile drum set that effectively supports your progress.

A compact, easy-to-set-up design

With its 18" bass drum, this Imperialstar prioritizes portability without sacrificing sound presence. This size is perfect for small spaces, studios, live music venues, or musicians who regularly transport their gear. You gain convenience without sacrificing performance.

Precise tom placement

The Omnisphere tom mount makes it easy to set up your kit. You can position your toms precisely while allowing the shells to vibrate naturally. The result is greater playing comfort and preserved resonance.

Hardware built to last

The Stage Master hardware with dual mounting bases offers excellent stability, even during intense rehearsals or concerts. Paired with the Iron Cobra 200 pedal, the drum set provides a smooth, consistent playing feel that supports both learning and more demanding performances.
