Now you can rock the bright yellow scheme and gargantuan setup of the 72 Seasons-styled Lars Ulrich 40th Anniversary shell pack, without the equally massive price tag! Enter: the TAMA Imperialstar. PRIYANKA MUSICAL HOUSE percussion pros know that players embarking on and advancing through their drumming journeys need a shell pack that packs a few extra goodies to get the grooves rolling sooner rather than later — and this 7-piece delivers! Packing a proper punch and crisp sensitivity from its 6-ply poplar construction, this Imperialstar provides a versatile palette that’s great for pupils of rock, jazz, metal, pop — you name it! Top-notch shell hardware, like stick-forgiving triple-flanged hoops and classic Original Small lugs, hosts fantastic conveniences to help all players feel right at home behind the skins. Plus, this Imperialstar comes loaded with a stand hardware set and chain-drive kick pedal that will immediately help fill some setup gaps.

6-ply poplar shells

Poplar shells make a sensible choice for drummers for a variety of reasons. Not only are they lightweight and incredibly cost-effective, but they provide many of the percussive traits that advanced players look for in medium- and top-tier kits. While not as momentous as maple, poplar still provides the round, impactful definition that brings drum tracks to life. It’s also noticeably crisp in response, making each shell a phenomenal platform for precise patterning. To top it off, the Imperialstar features TAMA’s Precision Bearing Edges, ensuring that each drumhead delivers remarkably even vibration transfer to the shell for a pure and balanced tone.

Well-performing hardware

The finer details ornamenting each shell play a massive role in the Imperialstar punching above its weight. Such elements include charming Original Small lugs and triple-flanged hoops, the latter of which not only offer a safer landing spot for your sticks but also promote a wide tuning range for setting the tension of your kit as high or low as you like.

This pack also includes all the stand hardware you need to get set up. You'll receive a double-tom stand, hi-hat stand, snare stand, two boom cymbal stands, and a straight cymbal stand. Plus, TAMA is even throwing in a bass drum pedal for good measure!

Tributing 40+ years of Lars and TAMA

In 2024, we celebrated four decades of Lars Ulrich and TAMA's partnership, a powerhouse pairing established in 1984, when Metallica was beginning to make some serious waves. And this shell pack makes an excellent tribute! The striking yellow scheme harnesses the spirit of Metallica’s 2023 album, 72 Seasons, with matching TAMA-branded Remo bass drum resonant heads. While this shell pack is not an official Lars Ulrich 40th Anniversary model, its dimensions and color scheme match that of 2024's limited run drum set — now priced for all players to enjoy!

Cymbals not included.
