Back to Product Information

Sound: This set is mainly for jazz and light rock drummers. It has a great response and easily sets up! You could mek this set better by making the eguipment more manuverable Feature: when i recieved it had all the accesories equiped with Gibraltar equipment. The foot pedal is my favorite! Ease of Use: Its alright for slow snare fills but the toms can be hard to do fast fills on with triples and quads. Quality: Its made great, it beats any other set i have had and it alwaysgives back a great response. Value: Um, i guess, it probably depends on what you think a drumset should be like. Manufacturer Support: I have never had to cpontact the company,WHY? because this product is so good and sturdy there is nop need. The Wow Factor: It is shiny!haha, it is very colorful and has that sharp "glass" over the paint on the set Overall: I think i would keep it till it falls of the stage, i like its sound and it is perfect

Sound: powerfull bass drum, one of the best, snare is decent but an upgrade would be nice, Feature: came with mounts, very good mounts not ratcheted for more options, hanging floor tom is cool. Quality: made very well , travels well, bulky but worth it, factor heads kind of suck and dont do the kit justice but that is to be expected. Value: easily the best , I've matched it up head to head with kits that cost two and three times as much , my gretsch keeps up in everyway, Manufacturer Support: N/A The Wow Factor: well set up , looks good , nice finish Overall: very satisfied with the kit , vastly exceeds expectations , very durable yet doesn't play "bulky"
