Fifty years. Just two words, but within them lies a vibrant tapestry of drums and the stories they tell. Here, we trace the storied history of TAMA, woven through the iconic instruments that shaped its every beat.

At a time when product advancement focused primarily on hardware innovations, TAMA looked deeper with the introduction of Imperialstar, Superstar, and Artstar drums, inspiring the direction of TAMA's sound and craftmanship in the coming decades. In particular, the Superstar series garnered the attention of the world's top drummers of the era, making this first decade TAMA's most foundational.
