"great for a novice or a pro"
Feature:
one thing that was different that i liked was the way the toms mounted on the bass drum, i thought it to be pretty neato how it worked

Quality:
considering i bought mine used, it is a really pretty kit and im very glad i bought it =)

Desirability:
the colors they have here aren't my preference but i got a pretty pearl blue finish on mine and lets just say, if it were human, id marry it

Sound:
i just got this kit in pearly blue, used, all i can say is it sounds pretty good with the stock gretsch heads, but i would go ahead and get some new ones anyway. but i prefer a thud kind of sound on my toms.

Ease of Use:
it didnt take much tweaking at all to get a decent sound out of the whole kit, but again i would go for some better heads if you want a better tone out of your toms

Support:
got it used

Overall:
i plan to wear this kit completely thin before i get a new one, just get new heads and hardware, cymbals etc.

"Ok for price, couple of flaws."
Quality:
The product is made well, except for one thing.. The toms won't stay in place. No matter how tight you turn the wing nuts, they fall or move left/right. I'm sure if you placed the toms on a more expensive part, they wouldn't move. No blemishes.

Value:
The product is good for this price. Just a couple of flaws. I actually paid more for this, but my set included the hi-hats, thin crash, and ride cymbals.

Desirability:
The product would make you want it. It is very sexy and it shouts out to your eyes.

Sound:
For the price of this set, the sound is ok. If you want a professional sound, I reccommend getting some Remo or Evans drum heads to replace the cheap stock ones. The snare can have a low, sharp sound. But it can also have a high pitched, tight sound. It's very versatile, but the toms and vbass drum definitely don't sound like a dream. The bass drum head is rather cheap, and so are the toms.

Ease of Use:
It does require some good tuning to get it to sound to your exact specifications.

Overall:
This was my very first set, and after 4 years, it is still holding strong. I would probably buy a Sonor though, if it were to be stolen/broken. Very reliable/
