Verdict

MusicRadar rating: 4 of 5

Pros

Excellent bearing edges for budget drums. A great kit at a good price.

Cons

It's made in China - but try not to let that put off.

The bottom line

Tama has its finger on the pulse with this one. It's relatively cheap because it's birch/ basswood and made in China. But don't let that put you off. It's a cracking kit with great features. Shallow toms are not new but you can expect every other manufacturer to follow suit.
