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.

Desirability:
Looks very good, I have an all black one, mine doesnt have the silver snare but it looks cool.

Sound:
I think it sounds pretty good, not the best, but very good for the price.

Support:
I don't really know about this one, I haven't had any problems to call the company about.

Overall:
Very good product the people who hate must have had a defective one.

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.

Desirability:
the color makes the difference.

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.

Support:
haven't had to.

Overall:
the only way i would buy a new set is if i just wanted one.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Support:
Have not needed to contact support

Overall:
I will add to this set instead of replacing it with a more expensive one.

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.

Feature:
The toms lock, and stay locked. I upgraded the stands to where they don't mount on the bass drum. Great hardwear!! The hi-hat stand is crap though.

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!!!!!

Desirability:
THIS PRODUCT IS SEXY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sound:
My parents purchased this set for me when I was 16. I just bought another one today off of a friend. CB puts a lot of effort in their sound. With some new heads and cymbals, you have your self a phenomonal kit!!!!!!

Ease of Use:
very easy to put together. very easy to suit your taste

Support:
I've never had to contact CB because their drums are so great!!!

Overall:
The hi-hat stand, cymbals, and heads need replaced. After that you have a drumset that rules the world!! BUY THIS KIT TODAY!!!

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
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.

Desirability:
I would have rather gotten the pearl, but was about $150 short and my friend recomended this to me. I am not entirely disappointed.

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.

Support:
N/A

Overall:
Great first or second kit. I am thinking of buying a second one to make a cheap double kick. A good buy overall.

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.

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:
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.
