Tama Drums (from Japanese: 多満 (Kanji); タマ (Kana)) is a brand of drums and hardware manufactured and marketed by Hoshino Gakki.[1]

The research and development of its products, along with production of its professional drum lines, is done in Seto, Japan, while its hardware and less expensive drums are manufactured in Guangzhou, China.[2] Hoshino has several offices around the world for marketing and wholesale distribution. Drums destined for the American market are assembled and stocked in Bensalem, Pennsylvania.[3]
