Pros

Understated looks and impressive sound.

Cons

You'd do well to replace the poor hardware.

The bottom line

There's a lot about this kit that impresses, with its subtle looks, quality shells and keen playability making it a great beginner's kit that could also embarrass a few competitors at the next level up. At this price, kits need to be comprehensive, and Tamburo has bundled in a set of low-cost hardware to keep the price competitive - but needn't have bothered. It's the drums themselves that make this package stand out.
