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.

Pros

That black nickel plated snare is a real eye-catcher.

Cons

The bass drum spurs are possibly too clever for their own good.

The bottom line

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.
