Pros

Loud and proud kit that delivers a great quality of sound. Great looks.

Cons

Not so easy to play quietly and the long bass drum is not the most practical to cart around.

The bottom line

The drums ooze power, warmth and authority. This is a kit for red-blooded players used to performing in demanding environments, so it's not ideal for those seeking quietness and dynamics. That said, it's a fabulous package that does the job for which it was intended.
