Tama Imperialstar Concert Toms • 9"x13" & 10"x14" • Vintage 1970s • Hairline Chrome • Classic MIJ Tone

These Tama Imperialstar 9"x13" & 10"x14" Concert Toms (Vintage 1970s, Hairline Chrome) are a killer pair of classic MIJ (Made in Japan) shells from Tama’s golden era. Known for their Philippine mahogany shells, Zola‑coat interiors, and the iconic Hairline Chrome wrap, these concert toms deliver that unmistakable vintage punch, projection, and tone that made Imperialstar a studio and stage favorite throughout the late ’70s and early ’80s.

Both drums show scratches, dings, wrap wear, and wear around the bottoms, consistent with their age — but they remain structurally solid, round, and ready to play. These are true vintage workhorses with tons of character.
