This is the second kit that i have owned and it was leaps and bounds better than the first. I say this is a great set for anyone who has a cruddy entry level set who wants to take there playing to the next level. It would make a great set for someone who wants to get a very well built great sounding kit without breaking the bank.
Sound
You cant get a better kit for the money. Its impossible. You cant even get maple chells in any brand for this price.
Features
The tom arm mounts give you a lot of flexability which is nice. Also the maple bass drum hoops are a nice touch.
Ease of Use
You hit them and they make noise.
Quality
The build of the drum set seems to be very good. I didnt find any defects in the build of scratched shells.
Value
This is the best part about this drumset. For the money there is no better drum set on the market. Sure you can get a 6 piece for the same price but you wont get suspended toms and you for sure wont get maple shells. I cant stress enough how much of a great drumset this is for the money.
Manufacturer Support
Ive never had a reason to contact Gretsch nor will i ever need to.
The Wow Factor
I think the deep amber finish on this drumset is very sexy. I wanted a natural looking finish and at first i was concerned but when they shipped to me i was pleasently suprised.
