Tama Drums are a brand of drum kits and hardware manufactured by the Japanese musical instrument company, Hoshino Gakki. They began manufacturing drums in 1961 under the name "Star Drums", named the owner Hoshino which translates to "star field". The drums were manufactured at Hoshino's subsidiary, Tama Seisakusho, which had opened in 1962 to manufacture Ibanez guitars and amplifiers. 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 wife, and is also a homophone with the Japanese word meaning "jewel". "Star" continues to be used in the names of many Tama drum models to this day.

Tama Iron Cobra Pedals achieved their legendary status because of their ability to strongly support both the artistic and logistical requirements associated with the art of drumming. Since its inception in 1992, smooth, effortless performance and unparalleled response have been hallmarks of the Iron Cobra. In their efforts to expand the boundaries of this original design, Tama have continued to work at improving the Iron Cobra, always with an eye towards bringing drummers closer to their own creative objectives.
