Pros
A remarkable price for a kit of this size. Featuring a design penned by Travis Smith himself.
Cons
Rubbish heads. You'll need a van and roadie for lugging the kit around.
Verdict
When attempting to summarise any kit, the question that is always foremost is: could it have been any better? And here the answer is: yes, on more than one count. While there is no doubt that this is a lot of kit for the money, there are too many areas that need addressing. Chief amongst those is the cheap heads, which undo pretty much all of the care and hard work that has gone into creating the kit at a stroke.
