Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I think i would keep it till it falls of the stage, i like its sound and it is perfect
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
Features
when i recieved it had all the accesories equiped with Gibraltar equipment. The foot pedal is my favorite!
Ease of Use
Its alright for slow snare fills but the toms can be hard to do fast fills on with triples and quads.
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.
