Compact Tama Imperialstar bass drum in a gloss black finish, configured in the increasingly popular "jungle kit" format for drummers seeking a portable setup without sacrificing punch and projection. Based on the Imperialstar platform, this drum features Tama's durable multi-ply shell construction, low-mass lugs, sturdy chrome hardware, and a factory-mounted tom holder receiver with dual L-arms, making it ideal for mounting rack toms directly over the bass drum. Its compact footprint is well suited for jazz, funk, blues, indie, acoustic performances, rehearsal spaces, churches, small venues, and travel-friendly gigging, while still delivering the focused low-end response and attack that Imperialstar drums are known for. This drum is fitted with premium Evans EMAD Level 360 batter and resonant heads, a professional upgrade valued by many drummers for their powerful attack, controlled sustain, and easy tuning. The resonant head is equipped with an Evans removable microphone port system, allowing convenient microphone placement for live performance or studio recording. A custom "FULL COVERAGE" resonant head graphic is currently installed over the front head and can be removed or replaced to suit the buyer's preference. The drum includes both bass drum spurs and the original Tama tom mounting assembly with dual L-rods, providing a versatile platform for compact kit configurations. Condition is very good overall. The shell is structurally sound with attractive gloss black finish showing only light cosmetic scuffs and surface scratches from normal use. Chrome hardware remains bright with minimal oxidation, and all visible mounting hardware, lugs, hoops, and brackets appear complete and functional. The Evans heads show light signs of use but remain in good playing condition. Please review all photographs carefully to evaluate cosmetic condition and included components. This is an excellent opportunity for drummers looking to build a lightweight gigging kit, convert an Imperialstar setup into a compact configuration, or add a professionally equipped bass drum featuring quality Evans heads and dependable Tama hardware.
