Built to last

The 6-ply poplar shells feature precision-machined bearing edges that make tuning easy while ensuring consistent response across the entire kit. The Omnisphere suspension system, combined with TAMA’s signature L-Rod mount, allows for quick, precise tom positioning while minimizing contact points with the shells to preserve resonance.

Wooden bass drum hoops enhance both the instrument's aesthetics and its response, while sturdy spurs ensure excellent stability on the floor, even during energetic playing.

The double-braced Stage Master hardware guarantees lasting stability, and the Iron Cobra 200 pedal offers smooth, responsive action—ideal for developing precision, power, and consistency. With the included drum throne and cymbal pack, everything is ready for you to start playing immediately.

A warm, powerful, and versatile sound

Poplar is renowned for its tonal balance and ease of use. It produces rich lows, well-defined mids, and controlled attack, delivering a warm sound that sits easily in a mix and is simple to mic up.

The 22" x 18" bass drum delivers deep low-end and... ...punchy and perfectly suited to modern styles. The 10" and 12" toms offer excellent definition, while the 14" and 16" floor toms provide all the depth needed for powerful runs and expressive fills. The 14" x 5" snare drum combines sensitivity and precision, allowing for everything from nuanced ghost notes to dynamic rimshots.

The Meinl HCS cymbal pack—featuring 14" hi-hats, a 16" crash, and a 20" ride—complements the kit beautifully. It allows players to work on the fundamentals with a cohesive setup that is ready for everything from early rehearsals to live performances.
