Tama 08"x07" Imperialstar Tom ELY
Professional music gear - detailed information and where to buy
This little Imperialstar tom is a great addition to a kit needing a higher-pitched accent. The poplar shell gives it a surprisingly warm tone for such a small drum, and the Electric Yellow finish makes it pop. Perfect for gigging drummers on a budget or those wanting a unique color option.
