Pros
Flawlessly finished. Quality Evans heads included. As good as some Brady drums costing twice the price.
Cons
Not a lot, all things considered.
Verdict
These are fabulous drums, full of the qualities that make Brady drums so unique while also offering superb value. They can only bring welcome elevation to the Dixon brand and could also benefit Brady by creating a presence away from the premium end of the market it occupies without undermining its own status.
