"A great set for the price"

Feature:
when i recieved it had all the accesories equiped with Gibraltar equipment. The foot pedal is my favorite!

Quality:
Its made great, it beats any other set i have had and it alwaysgives back a great response.

Value:
Um, i guess, it probably depends on what you think a drumset should be like.

Desirability:
It is shiny!haha, it is very colorful and has that sharp "glass" over the paint on the set

Sound:
This set is mainly for jazz and light rock drummers. It has a great response and easily sets up! You could mek this set better by making the eguipment more manuverable

Ease of Use:
Its alright for slow snare fills but the toms can be hard to do fast fills on with triples and quads.

Support:
I have never had to cpontact the company,WHY? because this product is so good and sturdy there is nop need.

Overall:
I think i would keep it till it falls of the stage, i like its sound and it is perfect

"Why I love my gretsch kit."

Feature:
came with mounts, very good mounts not ratcheted for more options, hanging floor tom is cool.

Quality:
made very well , travels well, bulky but worth it, factor heads kind of suck and dont do the kit justice but that is to be expected.

Value:
easily the best , I've matched it up head to head with kits that cost two and three times as much , my gretsch keeps up in everyway,

Desirability:
well set up , looks good , nice finish

Sound:
powerfull bass drum, one of the best, snare is decent but an upgrade would be nice,

Support:
N/A

Overall:
very satisfied with the kit , vastly exceeds expectations , very durable yet doesn't play "bulky"

Style of Music: mainly post hardcore, but have been involved in funk, alternative and raggae bands
