Yea, this kit sounds pretty amazing. The snare, oh my gosh! its wonderful got a very nice crack to it, suitable for metal/punk rock music. The bass drums sound fairly good, but it gets annoying trying to tune them to a similar pitch. Keep in mind that two different bass drum pedals vastly change the sound. But yeah, sounds great.

Well i bought this kit second hand for $1200AUD with 7 b8 cymbals and stands + stool. And its done me well, i don't think i could be any happier. I would definatly recommend the sabian B8 cymbals with this kit they go together like peas in a pod.

This kit is massive, its quite inconvenient to move around. I find it particularly annoying with the hihat stand, because of two bass drums, the hihat stand pedal has to be a fair distance away from your left foot. This kit is too big, it isn't somthing i would be gigging with.

Yeah, I don't know. Its pretty good, not amazing but not aweful. Although the pedals really need to be replaced.

GREAT GREAT GREAT value for me.

Never had to deal with support

The sound is deep and rich; however, you will need to replace the heads because the stock heads are cheap.

Very well built and the setup is great.

Mine kit arrived with the bass drums wrinkled. I called to have them replaced, but since we were gigging, I had no choice but to keep the set.

Great price for a wonderful kit

First off, immediately replace the stock heads! I did with evans ebony hydraulics and it helped a TON. However, the kicks are hard to get punch out of. You get more of a thud, no matter how you tune. Overall, the set sounds great, but could be a bit brighter.

The hardware is pretty flimsy. You'll notice small hex nuts kinda flying everywhere when you start pounding. Make sure everything is good and tight before you try and play this kit. Also, it's somewhat difficult to position the toms as there is no kick drum mounts, only the stands, for the toms. However, the floating ring design for the mounted toms gives you a pretty good angle range. Personally, I couldn't find a good spot that made it comfortable for me to play the mounted toms - but I'm 6'4..lol. May be easier for shorter folks - not sure.

You can pretty much pull these out of the box and go at it if sound isn't all that important. If you're looking for a great set, cheap, then this is definitely the set for you.

I wouldn't say they are cheaply made - but they are cheaply made. Again, I think this is more of a beginners kit. If you're a 15 - 21 year old that just jams then you'll love this kit. If you're a pro (15+ years for me) then the quality of the wood and hardware is going to disappoint you.

There is no way you'll get a set of this quality from any other manufacturer for this price.

I'll give a 10 because I haven't had to call them, but have heard nothing but great things about their support.

Now, the biggest thing about this set is "sex appeal". It just looks amazing - especially when you wrap cymbals around it. It's almost like a lambo - it just looks fast sitting still.

The stock heads are pretty cheap, I replaced them with Evans Genera G2 Coateds, they sound perfect for metal with a set of rings on those skins. If you throw a pillow in the bass drums against the batter skin and put Evans EMAD skina on the basses they sound - AMAZING -

The on-the-bass drum tom setup looks terrible. I have my toms floated coming off actual stands (all four toms) and they sound better like that as well. I'm only using one bass at the moment and with the stand there in it it's awesome, I'm using that stand for my ride and china.

Very customizable. There's so many different configurations and its so easy to put them into that configuration. Very playable, because of the beauty of it you can play it all day.

The lacquer has obvious lines where it starts/ends on the drum, and the bass drum lacquer wrinkles when exposed to close up strobe lights, etc. Also the toms can wear away at the lacquer if they are touching.

I'd rather have bought a Tama 5 piece, just for the solid quality.

Haven't needed to. If anything on this kit breaks, it's easy to fix.

Very sexy drum kit when it's set up right. It looks terrible in that photo compared to when its done properly. The stock pedals look pretty lame though.

This drumset is the best I used! With it i can play like joey jordison!

This is somewhat difficult because it just has so many pieces. But I like drumsets with lots of pieces!

Every thing was perfect! Nothing was bad about it. It will last for about 7-9 years.

Wow, I have seen 5 peice drum sets worth more than this. Great price.

Yes, great customer support. Always understanding what i said.

For being kinda crappy wood they sound really nice once you change all the heads (and I mean ALL!) I'm a sound guy of 10 years (drummer of 20) and the drummer for Thor is on stage using mine right now. The kit has new heads and great mics on it. I could not be more pleased with the sound. Awsome attack, full lows, right amount of overtone. Beautiful! PS. I'm not some hack fighing with a piece of crap "Mackie" board. I work on pro consoles with 40+ channels and have years of house and touring experience.

The drums and mounts are nice but the hardware sucks. The pedals are cheap with really weak beaters and springs. Already had a spring break and a beater shaft bend.

Like I said before. NEW HEADS! If you do that they tune up really nice, and once again don't bother with the hardware.

etc...

Even though I have plenty to say about the hardware the drums are well worth it. They should either leave the hardware out or improve it.

Haven't called but I hear they're right on it.

I've been wanting one since the first it.

touring/studio drummer/sound engineer

I play alot of styles. This is drumkit #4 that I own but this one is for metal.

the sound is warm and good for METAL!!

dose not come with enough hardwhere.

verry easy to use and fast set up.

u call um tha will help u ought.

I love the shells. The drumheads that came with the set I replaced with EVANS EC2 edge control and they sound AMAZING.

The hardware is a bit shaky but they do the job for a while. My ride cymbal stand broke a couple months in, but overall good quality. I would suggest a rack system instead of the on-the-bassdrum setup.

The hardware is a bit strange but it does well.

The shells are great, the hardware is ok but not the best set in the world.

Can't find a better double bass + 4 tom + snare setup anywhere else

I have never needed service for this drumset, which is a definite plus.

Its a good looking set, I love the black on black hardware.
