Sound: When you get this set use the heads it comes with until they break or get to pitted to use then go buy remo pinstripes for snare and toms and get an evans emad bass head it will sound like a set that cost twice as much. It's amazing what higher quality head will do for this set. Feature: The cymbals that come with this set sound like trash can lids. Upgrade your cymbals they work for practice but not performance. Hi-hat stand could be better if you get heavy hi-hats the sping inside it not strong enough to support the weight. Bass drum pedal will work but spend some money on a good one. This one will get you by until you can upgrade. Cymbal stands are decent. Ease of Use: Once you tune the heads this set sounds pretty good out of the box, but once you upgrade and tune the heads its night and day difference. I am very pleased with how mine sound with the new heads. Quality: I have had my set for four years and haven't had a single problem with workmanship. Don't let the price fool you this set is very well put together. Value: Once you upgrade the heads this set is comparable to Pearl Tama Gretsch ect... Well worth the money. Manufacturer Support: Have not needed to contact support Overall: I will add to this set instead of replacing it with a more expensive one.

Sound: I think it sounds pretty good, not the best, but very good for the price. Feature: It comes with everything any other starter kit would come with, you can't really expect the best cymbals in the world on a starter, like some obviously do. Quality: I've had mine for a year and nothing has had to be replaced or has been damaged. I got 2 new cymbals and just use the one it came with for an extra. Value: Very good for beginners and intermmediate players. Manufacturer Support: I don't really know about this one, I haven't had any problems to call the company about. The Wow Factor: Looks very good, I have an all black one, mine doesnt have the silver snare but it looks cool. Overall: Very good product the people who hate must have had a defective one.

Sound: if you don't like the sound with the original heads you should go out and buy remo power stroke 3's it will cost about $100 but it is sure worth it. Feature: it has overall excellent manuverablity with the hardware which is helpfull in tight spots. Quality: entry level quality that produces professional sound with the right heads. Value: great value for a great drumset. Manufacturer Support: haven't had to. The Wow Factor: the color makes the difference. Overall: the only way i would buy a new set is if i just wanted one.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Overall: Bought it because I needed a cheap but effective acoustic set. It had remo black dot heads on it, tuned tight for jazz. I actually like these heads for resonant side heads. I started using 2 ply coated heads, like evans g2 or remo coated emperors, for a warmer sound. It took some work, but after smoothing the bearing edges and buying new heads, I can tune this set up to sound almost as good as a DW set. Its got nice, fat tones, and while the Philippine mahogany isn't as rich as maple or birch, the set still sounds nice. The black wrap finish is OK, except for the fact that you can see the edges of the wrap. Not to special looking. Combined this set with a 24 inch RMV bass drum made of maple, and this set is one of my favorite sounding sets that I've played. Except for the cymbals. They are complete junk. So cheap that they don't crack; they bend. Buy new heads and cymbals, and this set is amazing.

Sound: Initially, the sound was horrible. But I tuned the heads, and put pieces of paper towel on them with tape over it, so now the sound good with less ring. I tightened the snare a lot, and put some tape on that as well. Feature: Considering it's a beginner drum kit, it simply has the basic drum hardware, plus stands and cymbals. Ease of Use: CB Drums can be fine tuned and you CAN get a good sound out of them! Quality: Made very well, solid parts, stands hold up. I didn't give it ten because the hi-hat stand won't align correctly. Value: 10/10 Value. This kit is worth the price! Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to call support. The Wow Factor: Ok.. it's nice but it's not thaat nice. I gave it 7/10 Overall: The main thing about this product is its value. You get MORE then what you pay for, because CB drums can go a long way... Before I bought my double-kick pedal and ride cymbal, I put NO money into the kit, and it sounded great. NOTE: You should replace the heads and hi-hat stand.

The hi-hat stand is crap though. Ease of Use: very easy to put together. very easy to suit your taste Quality: GREAT QUALITY!!!! My 1st CB drumset is almost 8 years old, and have withstood the road!! They take whatever you throw at them!!! Value: BUY IT!!!!! Manufacturer Support: I've never had to contact CB because their drums are so great!!!

Sound: This is a great product. I had my doubts when i was first looking at it but it turned out to be very versatile. Did need to buy new cymbals and drums heads for the toms and snare, but I still have my same bass drum head. Its surprising that I haven't busted it yet considering I am very hard on sets. My bass pedal that came with the set also broke when I was playing. But once again I am very hard on my equipment. I would reccomend this to beginners up to pros. VERY AFFORDABLE. Easy on the wallet.

Sound: The included heads are great, but will wear out in time, but way quicker than I thought when I bought this Item. Once you tune them to your personal preferences, there realy is no diffeerence between this kit and a pearl forum., at least in my oppinion. The one point on this kit I have to say i DIDN'T LIKE was the cymbals. To be specific, the hi-hat did this kind of 'clamshel' thing on me, and the crash/ ride realy doesn,t do much of either. Yeah, better than none, but you will be replacing them soon. Feature: This kit really did not really have any extra features. Quality: Good overall, although some better quality cymbals would be nice. The stands and hardware are good quality it appears, and promise to last quite some time. Value: You are not going to get much better for this price. Even after you replace the cymbals (I chose paiste Alpha, 2002, and 802's), you still have $100 or so left than if you had bought the pearl. Manufacturer Support: N/A The Wow Factor: I would have rather gotten the pearl, but was about $150 short and my friend recomended this to me. I am not entirely disappointed. Overall: Great first or second kit. I am thinking of buying a second one to make a cheap double kick. A good buy overall.

Sound: Im 14 years old and i love this CB drum set. It sounds great for it being so inexpensive. My friend has a pearl and my CB sounds better. I play all types of music on this set but it all sounds very good. I have some moon gell on it right now and it makes the toms a lot better. without the gell (silencer) its really bongoish and hums for too long. but with the cymbals and everything going on u dont notice that at all. its a great a set and i bot it used. its old and still nothing wrong with it.

Sound: I bought this set off my friend for $90 and it was deffinately well worth the money. I have replaced the high hats with camber and I replaced the crash/ride with a proformance. I still have the stock heads on it and they sound pretty decent if you muffle them. Im not exactly a beginner and I think this set is deffinately well worth the money. Oh yeah make sure you replace the stock cymbals cause they sound horrible. Other than that it is a pretty good set. Feature: most useful feature is deffinately the base cause when you muffle it a little it sounds great. Least useful feature is deffinately the cymbals. Through them away. If you play hard on them they bend over and crack. Ease of Use: sound is easy to get good if you know how to tune Quality: This is deffinately a strong drum set and can take some abuse Value: yeah I would deffinately say its worth the money. Especially considering I only payed 90 for it. Manufacturer Support: no never needed to The Wow Factor: yeah it turns me on! Overall: as long as I keep hopping it up I will deffinately be satisfied for a while. Well until I get a job atleast.

Feature: all the drums sound good but the hihat Ease of Use: drums are pretty easy to play Quality: no it looks fine but again, the cymballs were not of a very good quality and needed to be replaced. the hihat stand was also cheap and flimsy. other than that, the set is good. put the right heads on it and its a nice drum set. Value: i think the set is worth the money. frankly, if you want to sound good you are going to need to replace the cymballs and hihat stand. all the toms and bass sound good so overall the set is worth the dough. Manufacturer Support: i bought the set from someone online and never did any direct business w/ cb. The Wow Factor: it looks basically like any other drum set. mine is metallic blue and it is nice looking. i replaced the cymball, hihat and stand a few months later. its a good lookin drum set up now with sone additions. Overall: plan on spending some more money on a new cymball and hihat w/ stand because they are of poor quality. the drums themselves sound nice and are worth the money.

Sound: I bought a CB 5-piece set almost 8 years ago. I haven't had any problems with the drums. I played a $1500 Yamaha set in my highschool band and decided to bring my set in and combine the two for a couple of performances. There was not a noticable difference in sound quality or playability. Feature: The cymbals that come with this set are alright for a beginner, but don't expect them to last very long, especially if you're a heavy hitter. Ease of Use: Just like any other drumset, you have to know how to tune and dampen it to your taste. Quality: As I said, held up for almost 8 years with no problems. My set travels a lot between practice and gigs.

Sound: This kit sounds great, although the toms and bass drum are a little ringy after you hit them.(its nothing really) You can make it sound like a $1,000 drum set if you spend at least $150 to buy new cymbals(although the cymbals sound pretty good) and put muffler rings in the heads which could also be upgraded.(but probably not necessary) Feature: This kit come which everything you need(begginer or intermediate)to get drumming of any style going in minutes. This set includes a padded throne, ride and hi-hat(with pedal)cymbals with good quality stands, a great sounding snare, 12" 13" and 16" toms with great sound quality, and a terrific 22" bass drum.(with pedal) Quality: This set is extremely high quality. I guarentee you that nothing will come off or fall apart. CB Percussion rocks! Has a good colorfull finish. Value: 100% worth the price. I even think it should be piced as high as a good quality Pearl or Tama. Manufacturer Support: I've not had to deal with them and I'm pretty sure I never will. The Wow Factor: Although I don't currently have it, I've played it at the music store and it sounds like a dream. I will have it this Christmas. The design is ingenious. Overall: Once I own this product,(in a month) I will keep it AT LEAST 5 years if not my whole life because I know it will last that long. This drumset rocks. BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sound: well... cb drums are not very good at all. you can get them to sound alright with the proper upgrades, those being all new: cymbals, harware, drum heads, new snare drum, new kick pedal, and some EXTRA stands for those who use many cymbals. if you are just starting out, and dont really care about sound, and all u want is a set.... u should buy this. its a pretty good beginners set, but not for the more experienced. Feature: needs more/better hardware. Quality: its alright. it has a bad finish. its just a little plastic strip wrapped around it and painted. Value: worth the price i guess Overall: blah... too many things to rate.

CB Drums CB5 5-Piece Kit Customer Review submitted August 2, 2009

Overall

Back to Product Information
Sound: ok. honestly you can't expect great sound from a starter. especially with cymbals. but this really kinda sucks. TIP: replace heads at start and get some with a ring that dampers oversounds and ringing. plus new base pedal and cymbals but still a good starter.

Back to Product Information
Sound: With the exception of the cymbals the sound is pretty good. The toms, snare, and base drum are real good. The crash ride cymbal only sounds real good if you hit it hard enough. I don't get that perfect chick sound when I hit or clasp the high hats together. I am looking for a clean, crisp sounding cymbal Overall: I will be satisfied with this product until I can get the money to buy me a better one. I will probably keep this one for a while before getting rid of it. I would probably have to buy some new heads and some new cymbals. I was just ready to get my first set so that is why I chose this one. This product does meet my musical goals. I would probably kick it up to the next level and buy a more advanced drum set. I knew what I was going to get before I bought it. My favorite thing about this set is the snare drum. Nice sound. I do not like the cymbals though. They will have to do for now though.

Music Style: Rock/alternative/classic rock
Back to Product Information
Sound: The hi-hats are terrible they make the most annoying "gongch" sound the crash/ride is ok but it is very loud the snare is pretty average, at first it sounds like crap but i noticed after playing it for a few weeks that the sound started to improve. the toms take forever to tune but u can get an ok sound out of them Feature: the hi-hat stand is terrible the bottom hi-hat always wobbles and is always tilting to one side so one side will have a 2 inch space and the other side will be touching the bass drum pedal has a very slow reaction time and makes a "chink" sound everytime u step on it (i couldnt quite figure out how to assemble it and there werent instructions on how to) Quality: drum heads are very bad it is very easy to break through them so replace those and the hi hat stand and the cymbals if u buy this set Value: this set is ok for its price but spending about 100 more on a different set is definately worth it Manufacturer Support: never dealed with company The Wow Factor: colors are ok but other than that no Overall: it is an ok set for those just starting out but if you are in a band or considering it, use this only as a practice set or dont buy it at all

Back to Product Information
Sound: you need to get stronger cymbals Overall: i understand that for 359 dollars its not going to be the best drum set in the world but i did have higher expectations. I play with a church band i had to bring everything i owned from my own set in. cybals,stands,hi-hats, my own throne (the cb throne needs more comfort included in the final product) this isn't a complaint but some aspects of the set need to be further looked at. (cymbals)I use a cb set in the church band and more recently in school, I actually opened a set today and i had the same reaction when i opened my first set, with work and investment they can be a decent set but only with work and investment.
