Manufacturer's description
Why do we call our new drums Imperialstar? Because we firmly believe that the drum is the king of
all instruments. It's the original instrument. In contemporary music, it's the instrument that drives all
the rest. The foundation. The pulse. Drums are the centre of it all. Thats why you're a drummer, or
you want to become one.But it won't be until you play and hear these magnificent new drums
and experience their absolutely regal strength and commanding power, that you'll truly understand
why we call them imperialstar.

Cracking kit, gigging quality that will take a pounding for years to come. Change the heads to Evans G2s and your well and truly rockin. Looks brill, sounds brill and as good as kits almost twice the price .

Pros
That black nickel plated snare is a real eye-catcher.
Cons
The bass drum spurs are possibly too clever for their own good.
Verdict
The clincher here is the black nickel snare drum and that there are more thoughtful little hardware details included with this kit than on any other at this price. There's plenty to tempt you with without having to exaggerate.
