Shown here is the 1970s era Tama Imperialstar kit, finished in a black gloss PVC wrap, that Gil Moore used in the early days of Triumph’s touring success. The kit features shells made of Luan (also known as Philippine Mahogany.) The shells were coated on the inside by a Zola coating (sometimes referred to as Granitone.) This coating material was designed to provide enhanced high frequencies and attack. All the toms are single headed concert toms, including the 6 x 8, 7 x 10, 8 x 12, 9 x 13, 10 x 14, 10 x 15, 11 x 15 and 13 x 16 suspended toms, and 16 x 16 and 18 x 18 floor toms. The bass drums measure 14 x 22, while the metal snare is 5 1/2 x 14 model.
