Pros

The kit looks great and sounds massive.

Cons

Not the easiest kit to transport, would not be suited to unplugged gigs or other quiet settings.

The bottom line

The LA is an impressive kit that has been well conceived and boldly executed. It's flashy and loud to exactly the right degree and all of the components relate pefectly to one another. A quality set of stands completes a package that is difficult to criticise in any meaningful way. Obviously, it's not an ideal set of drums for the quieter player but anyone seeking a kit with attitude should take a close look.
