CB Drums CB5 5-Piece Drum Kit

This is a great value for a complete power tom kit. Complete means that all shells and mounting hardware are included, plus a throne, hi-hats and a ride cymbal. There's nothing extra to buy (except your favorite sticks). The power toms are ideal for rock drummers. Their deeper shells produce fuller, lower pitches, creating a solid foundation for your band. The hardware is heavy-duty and double braced. This means greater stability while you're playing and super durability down the road. Learn More...

Feature:
Considering it's a beginner drum kit, it simply has the basic drum hardware, plus stands and cymbals.

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!

Desirability:
Ok.. it's nice but it's not thaat nice. I gave it 7/10

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.

Ease of Use:
CB Drums can be fine tuned and you CAN get a good sound out of them!

Support:
Haven't had to call support.

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.

Value:

Sound:
Sounds alright for a beginner...but if you plan on progressing, GET NEW CYMBALS and GET NEW HEADS

Ease of Use:
oh yeah

Overall:

Quality:
some cheap parts, but for what you pay

Value:
work on it and you will be fine, this set is good for beginners

Desirability:
i guess it looks pretty sharp....

Sound:
sound is good for the price

Ease of Use:
nothing complicated easy to put togather

Support:

Feature:
the crash stand scrapes my crash when i hit it hard enough, pedal is junk, high hat stand isn't so great, but whatever, it's cheap

Quality:
for the price, this set is awesome

Value:
cheap, but if you replace a couple of things it sounds great

Desirability:
you can tell by looking at it that the parts are cheap, so get good other stuff to boost it up

Sound:
cymbals are trash, replace all of the heads that you hit, muffle the bass drum, then the sound is pretty good

Ease of Use:
since all of the parts have nothing complicated, it is easy

Support:
??????????

sounds great for the price, after you work on it

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.

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.

Desirability:
yeah it turns me on!

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.

Ease of Use:
sound is easy to get good if you know how to tune

Support:
no never needed to

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

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.

Desirability:
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.

Sound:
i bought this set off the internet a few yrs ago. the cymball and hihat sound aweful and need to be replaced if you want to sound decent but the set itself sounds nice.

Ease of Use:
drums are pretty easy to play

Support:
i bought the set from someone online and never did any direct business w/ cb.

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.

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.

Quality:
As I said, held up for almost 8 years with no problems. My set travels a lot between practice and gigs.

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.

Ease of Use:
Just like any other drumset, you have to know how to tune and dampen it to your taste.

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.

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.

Desirability:
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.

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)

Support:
I've not had to deal with them and I'm pretty sure I never will.

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:
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 n
