"IT ROCKS!"

Feature:
same thing about the cymbals as above. The hardware is simple to set up and works fine. The screws all tighten fine and stay in place.

Quality:
The shells are great and the heads are acceptable. There are better heads out there but if you tune them well they will perform amazingly. Good amount of rebound as well. I play pretty hard on my set and it hasen't broken or come close to it so it's pretty durable as well. No problems. I don't have a back up and i don't think i need to.

Value:
Other then the cymbals WONDERFUL set! Definitly worth the money. Its a good set and deserves some serious points.

Desirability:
I love playing the drums so automatically i think it's amazing to be able to walk into my room and see it there. I don't think there is a cheaper set that has this much quality and ease to it. I shopped for one for a long time. It rocks.

Sound:
this is a really good drum set especially for the price. I have been playing drums for 8 years now and this is a good set. The cymbals leave alot to be desired but this will be the case with all the reasonably priced sets that come with cymbals.

Ease of Use:
simple set up. Granted, I knew what i was doing but it's pretty simple. I got it up in 30 minutes.

Support:
i haven't had to deal with them yet. The sets fine.

Overall:
I will probably keep this set for a long time and use it for the base of a build on idea. I will eventually add more toms, better cymbals, maybe a double bass pedal. But it's great- NOT for starters but for people who know what there doing. I mean, a starter could get it but wouldn't appreciate how good it is.

"Love the look, sound, and feel."

Feature:
Everything that comes with the set is decent. The stands and throne are solid.

Quality:
I had some problem with onelock screw on the hi-hat stand and on the cymbal screw that locks the cymbal to the stand. They seemed to be slightly bent and it makes turning the screws difficult but I don't think it was any fault of the manufacturer (the box had a big dent in the side from being shipped. No damage to the set itself though). Everything else on the set is great. It looks amazing, it's got a very nice solid feel to it, I have no problem feeling like I can really beat on the set without fear of breaking anything. Like others have said, you may want to replace some of the heads and cymbals, but that's up to your personal taste, the set is perfectly playable with original equipment right out of the box.

Value:
I looked at a lot of sets before I came across this one. I didn't see anything that had the same number of accessories and had the look and feel of a much more expensive set than this one. I love it. No complaints at all.

Desirability:
This set looks great. Simple as that.

Sound:
Out of the box this set is perfectly playable. Depending on what you like your drums to sound like you don't NEED to replace anything. The stock heads sound good enough. All the heads are transparent so they tend to have a bright, resonant, lingering tone. I wanted a sharper, warmer tone so I started with replacing only the snare batter head (Remo weather king) and turned the stock head into a drum ring. Love the way it sounds now. The cymbal, as others have mentioned, leaves a lot to be desired. You CAN play it, but it kind of sounds like you dropped something down the stairs when you hit it.

Ease of Use:
This was a breeze to set up. If you've never seen or used a drum set the instructions might seem pretty sparse, but the assembly is pretty intuitive. Getting everything unwrapped and getting all the heads, stands, cymbals and other parts assembled took me maybe an hour. No problems at all, no missing parts, it was very simple.

Support:
I have never needed support. Everything worked.

Overall:
Summary: You will almost certainly want to replace the cymbal, and depending on taste you may want to replace the heads. easy to set up, very solid feel, very nice look. I highly recommend this set to anybody that is looking for a quailty set of drums for an extremely reasonable price.
