I’ve wanted a kit since I was a kid & finally got this one. And I’m thrilled with it! Sound quality is excellent, & the mesh heads have a really good, responsive feel. The whole thing was reasonably easy to assemble, even for someone as inept as me.
Some things to consider: 1) the sound presets that came with the kit are ok, but you can edit them somewhat to expand their range. Running the kit through software like Logic or GarageBand lets you take things further. 2) The snare is a good size, but the toms & cymbals are a bit smaller than I’d like. However, I’m adjusting to that fairly quickly. 3) The choke feature on the crash is great, although it’s a little hard for a beginner like me to find the necessary sweet spot every time. 4) The pedals are really good, very sturdy, but the spikes that provide traction will GOUGE a wooden floor. Not the fault of the kit, but worth knowing in advance. You’d do well to sit the kit or even just the pedals on a carpet or thick towel.
Best thing about this excellent kit is that you can pound away as loudly (&, in my case, as badly) as you like without disturbing others, within reason. That’s perfect for shy beginners, who want the sound of quality drums but not the embarrassment of a loud kit broadcasting your mistakes.
In short, I’m so very satisfied with this kit. A fair price for a well made instrument that you can expand with an extra tom and/or cymbal. Highly recommended!
