Pros
The new high gloss glitter finishes are the icing on the cake.
Cons
Six lugs on the floor tom, rather than eight.
The bottom line
It's perversely pleasing that Ludwig have come up trumps by getting their budget kits made in China. After gigging with it for two nights running, we would happily do so again - It was bright, ballsy and looked sharp and the class finish gives it the vibe of something much pricier. In fact, forget the budget tag, it's simply a cool kit.
