Tama Drums INC Roblox Group #12665597

Description

Hoshino Gakki began manufacturing drums in 1961 under the name "Star Drums".[3] Hoshino, the family name of the founder, translates to "star field," thus the selection of the "Star Drums" brand name. The drums were manufactured at Hoshino's subsidiary, Tama Seisakusho, which had opened in 1962 to manufacture Ibanez guitars and amplifiers. While the production of guitars and amps was moved out of the factory by 1966, the production of drums there continued to grow. The two higher lines of drum models, Imperial Star and Royal Star, were introduced to the American market and were successful lower-cost drums competing against more expensive American-made drums offered by ####### ####### and Slingerland at the time. By 1974, Hoshino decided to make a concerted effort to make high-quality drums and hardware and start marketing its drums under the Tama brand. Tama was the name of the owner's ##### and is also a homophone with the Japanese word meaning "jewel". "Star" continues to be used.
