TAMA Stagestar 5-Piece Complete Drum Set – Black Night Sparkle – ST52H5CBNS
TAMA Stagestar 5-Piece Complete Drum Set – Black Night Sparkle
A complete, ready-to-play drum kit from TAMA — full-size 6-ply poplar shells, double-braced hardware, brass cymbals, kick pedal, and throne, wrapped in a deep, dark Black Night Sparkle finish that means business.
Who This Is Built For
Black Night Sparkle is one of those finishes that just looks serious — and the TAMA Stagestar backs it up. This is the kit for the player who wants to start right, with full-size shells, hardware that does not wobble, and a look that holds up whether it is parked in a practice room or set up on a small club stage. TAMA has spent over 40 years building drums for players at every level, and that experience shapes every decision in the Stagestar — from the 6-ply poplar shells in professional dimensions to the Omnisphere ball-and-socket tom holder that lets you position your toms exactly where your hands naturally fall. The kit arrives complete: drums, cymbals, all hardware, and a throne. Add drumsticks and you are playing. Whether this is the first kit for a young drummer or a serious adult beginner, the Stagestar in Black Night Sparkle is a setup you can grow into rather than quickly grow out of.
Key Highlights
- 6-ply, 7mm all-poplar shells in full professional dimensions — the same sizes used in standard gigging configurations
- Black Night Sparkle wrap finish — deep, dark, and stage-ready from day one
- Triple-flanged hoops keep stick wear minimal and contribute to an open, resonant shell sound
- Omnisphere Omni-ball double tom holder — infinite angle adjustment with a single T-bolt
- Double-braced boom cymbal stand, hi-hat stand, and snare stand — stability throughout
- Kick pedal with double chain drive cam, adjustable spring tension, and beater angle adjustment
- 14-inch brass hi-hat pair and 16-inch brass crash — heavier gauge than the typical entry-level kit cymbal
- Heavy-duty double-braced drum throne with threaded spindle height adjustment for precise positioning
- Truly complete out of the box — everything you need except drumsticks
Why You'll Love It
Full-Size Sound from Real Shells
Poplar's combination of warm fundamental tone, medium attack, and broad dynamic range has kept it in drum shell manufacturing for over 50 years. The Stagestar shells are not cut down to budget dimensions — they match the specs of a professional kit configuration, which means the sound you develop your ears on here is not a compromise. It is the real thing, built to a price.
Double-Braced From Top to Bottom
Stands that shift under playing pressure are frustrating and distracting. Every hardware stand in the Stagestar package is double-braced — the boom cymbal stand, the hi-hat stand, and the snare stand all hold their position during hard playing. The Omnisphere tom holder uses a ball-and-socket design that does not penetrate the tom shells, so resonance stays intact and your rack toms go exactly where you want them.
Cymbals That Actually Deliver
The Stagestar ships with 14-inch hi-hats and a 16-inch crash made from thicker-gauge brass than what most kits at this price include. That extra weight translates into better durability, more volume, and a fuller, less brittle tone. The hi-hats respond cleanly across tempos, and the crash opens up well even at moderate strike force — genuinely functional cymbals, not placeholders.
Great Fit For
- New drummers ready for their first real kit from a trusted brand
- Students who need a full-size practice kit at home to reinforce what they are learning in lessons
- Parents looking for a complete, durable starter kit for a motivated young player
- Adult beginners who want solid, honest gear without overspending on their first setup
- Players who want a dependable home or rehearsal kit in a finish that looks sharp on stage
- Anyone drawn to a bold, dark look that holds its own next to far more expensive kits
