"The awesome Gretsh set!!!!!!!!!!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I actually believe I will probably keep this set for my whole life, I'm looking at expanding it, but as far as getting another set, I don't think i ever will, and if I do it will be in the distant future.
Sound
The sound this specific drum set makes is very good and matches my type of playing very well.
Features
This set has a lot of ood features, but the bass drum mount tends to slip, so when I start playing hard my tom will tend to move to the side a little bit.
Quality
I've had my set for about 9 months, and I play very hard, and i have not really had to do any thing to maintain it, other than change heads, the only down fall to it would be the bass drum mount for the tom slipping. The looks of the drums are awesome, I get complement all the time about how the set looks really good. As far as use "on the road" it's perfect, it's just small enough to move around without much trouble, i actually just got back from taking it to camp for a week.
Value
I think this set is definetly well priced, actually I think the price is kinda cheap for the greatness of the set, so yes it would definetly be well priced.
Manufacturer Support
I give this a 6, only because i did not personally deal with the company myself.
The Wow Factor
I think if I didn't have the set, but I seen it at someone elses house or musical gig, I would really want it, but not knowing the product I wouldn't go out looking or this certain set.
