Pros
The unique Arbiter single-lug tuning system makes life easier.
Cons
The CB pedals and stands are looking a bit dated.
Verdict
Despite reservations about the snare drum and the CB hardware, Flats Lite is a versatile and uniquely stylish unit, good not only for practising and rehearsing but for proper gigs (especially if coupled with some better cymbals), and the welcome update to the rack system makes everything feel much more stable.
