Great sounding kit, you can a develop a deep and fat bass drum tone especially when paired with the right head, (I use remo powerstroke 3s.). Whether you're practicing at home of out gigging this kit delivers a great presence and sound.

Pros

The looks, sizes and sound of this kit are all spot on, and it's excellent value.

Cons

Some aspects of the hardware are a little on the basic side.

The bottom line

The lacquer finish gives the kit a great appearance which is matched by its sonic performance. The drum sizes are of the moment and the presence of Remo heads is a quality touch in the right area. A few details on the stands could be bettered, but at this level savings have to be made somewhere.
