I know it isn't much compared to some of the stuff you guys are playing on, but I enjoy it.
And no, my camera isn't doing weird things. I am lefty.

Thanks! I definitely do love this kit. The Imperialstar may be an entry-level drum set but once you slap some good heads on 'em and tune it up properly they sound pretty friggin' good. I'm just saving up for some better cymbals and then this kit will be perfect for me for years to come. Once my daughter is old enough to start playing I'll pass this set along to her and upgrade myself to a Tama Starclassic. But that's several years down the road...

Nothing wrong with Imperialstars. Tama's bottom end is better than some companies top end

I already have a touch of that. For example, the Imperialstar comes with a drum throne, but I had to get the $160 Roc-N-Soc. It's a bit pricey for a throne, but it's the best and I knew that buying anything in between would just delay what I was going to end up doing anyway (and, in turn, cost me more money). So when I upgrade the cymbals they will be top-of-the-line (probably Zildjian A Custom because you can get good deals on a pack). It might cost me $700 or so, but buying mid-level cymbals will just make me spend $400 now and then the $700 in a few months anyway. The only way to combat G.A.S. is to just buy the best you can find so there are no more upgrade options .

@DLDante: I agree with you. It also applies to E kits, start with the best you can afford. Of course you can always upgrade later, but it'll cost you more in the end.
@FT: nice setup! I noticed the headphones and mics: do you also play miced up wearing headphones, maybe along music, like I do regularly?
E kit: TD-9KX with VH-11 and v-cowbell and Diamond Drums custom snare
A kit: Gretsch Renown and Masterwork cymbals
I do play the kit miked with the phones, and also to music sometimes. I have been experimenting with different settings(only had the mic setup for a week or so) and have found a few things that buzz as well. Funny how the mics make all the little noises more apparent. Love the kits guys, I'll take two of everything please! F/T
OK, my turn (and yes, those are my knees and feet!):
E kit: TD-9KX with VH-11 and v-cowbell and Diamond Drums custom snare
A kit: Gretsch Renown and Masterwork cymbals
stoopid camera phone! but this is my ions and forums, and yes, two 12's until i get my 10"
