Rare vintage Tama Imperialstar 20x18 floor tom in original black wrap, Made in Japan.
Large-format Imperialstar floor toms are becoming increasingly difficult to find, especially in the 20x18 size. This drum retains its original Imperialstar badge, original floor tom legs and brackets, and original internal tone control (muffler). Top 8 original tension rods and washers are included but not pictured.
The shell appears round and structurally sound, and the bearing edges appear clean. Chrome hardware presents well overall with typical age-related wear.
Please note that this drum is not complete and is being sold as is.

Please review all photos carefully, as they are part of the description and represent the drum's current condition.
