Expand your kit with this TAMA Imperialstar 16-inch floor tom, finished in a sleek gloss black wrap and equipped with its original three adjustable floor tom legs. Designed for drummers seeking a powerful, versatile floor tom, the Imperialstar series is well regarded for delivering impressive tone, reliable hardware, and excellent value for rehearsal, studio, and live performance. The shell is constructed from TAMA's 100% poplar multi-ply shell, producing a warm, full-bodied sound with deep low-end resonance, controlled sustain, and plenty of attack that works well across rock, pop, country, worship, and general-purpose playing. This drum features triple-flanged chrome hoops, TAMA's low-mass lugs, and sturdy leg brackets that hold securely while allowing smooth tuning adjustments. It is fitted with a Remo Emperor Coated batter head, a premium two-ply drumhead favored by many drummers for its durability, focused tone, and balanced attack. The resonant side appears intact, and all major hardware is present, making this an excellent addition to an existing Imperialstar kit or a quality standalone floor tom for a custom setup. The drum is in good pre-owned condition with a structurally sound shell, clean bearing edges (not disassembled for inspection), bright chrome hardware, and secure mounting brackets. The black wrap shows light surface swirls and minor cosmetic scuffs consistent with normal use, while the Remo batter head displays expected stick marks from regular playing. No cracks, major dents, or significant structural issues were observed. Overall, this is a solid, stage-ready floor tom from one of the most respected names in percussion that is equally suited for gigging musicians, home studios, schools, churches, or collectors looking to complete an Imperialstar kit.
