MusicRadar rating

4 of 5

Pros

24-carat, gold-plated hardware. Space-age graphics. Loud yet responsive with fantastic tone.

Cons

The price - there are still a few places where you could buy a house for that.

The bottom line

There is no question that this is an outstanding, albeit very expensive, set of drums, and it should be viewed as an experiment. The first R30 kit was fiendishly complex in design and execution. To then produce another 29 exact copies shows a desire for perfection bordering on masochistic. Everyone who contributed to this project deserves praise.
