Pros
Loud and penetrating voice. Intriguing wood and metal shell combination.
Cons
Some cheap cosmetic features.
Verdict
There is a reason why Alan Gilby is one of the most respected UK drum makers, and these drums are a prime example of his work, offering an intriguing combination of the tonality of wood and brightness of metal. Hearing them we can appreciate why so many drummers have requested that Alan resurrect the Power-lined series, it's just a shame that a couple of cosmetic details have compromised the rating of the drums.
