Sound: Great sound, especially the snare drum. Feature: It comes with a really nice bass pedal and heavy duty cymbal stands. the hi-hat stand isnt the best in the world though. Would have been even cooler if it came with cymbals. Quality: It's a ludwig, can't go wrong with it Value: For the price you pay, you get the best deal that i have managed to find. It's an awesome kit which will last you a long time. (excluding drum heads) Manufacturer Support: Havn't had to yet, you may have to replace the heads once in a while. The Wow Factor: HeHe, I chose amber, very nice color, nice and shiny looking with all the chrome hardware and finish. Overall: Don't waste the same amount of money on Tama or Pearl. They are great companies, but if you are paying the same amount of money, get the Ludwig, It will last you forever, and it has awesome sound.

Sound: Great sound. sounds even better if you put Clear Pinstripes or Evans Hydraulics heads on the toms. And I use a Coated powerstroke 3 or 4 on the snare but thats just the sound I like. Overall, awesome sound. Feature: All of the features are great and the cymbals stands were a nice addition. Ease of Use: Easy to disassemble and reassemble. The only difficult thing on it is the tom mount, hard to get them to stay where you want. Other than that, great. Quality: Made very well. Strong drums, nice thick hardware, great materials. Love it. Value: Come on it's Ludwig, they sound amazing and the price is great. Manufacturer Support: Never had a problem with this kit. The Wow Factor: I got mine in amber, great color to get them in. Doesnt fade or chip or anything and its natural looking. they also don't get dusty too easily which is great. Overall: I love the way they sound and look. Definitely looking into a different way to mount the toms though. BUt overall, Great product and a really good price.

Sound: perfect kit with a nice deep, powerful, and very loud sound great for rock. sound and build quality 100% perfect!!! However the factory skins are poor but are easily replaced to achieve that great ludwig sound! Feature: a lot of people winge about the tom mounting system being hard to use?! Its perfect and easy to use for anyone with half a brain! Ease of Use: one problem is the skins that come on the kit. there aren't very good quality and aren't durable. i put my stick through one and couldnt believe how weak they were! i would recomend Evans G2 as an upgrade because the factory skins are a waste of time. Quality: great tough and sturdy kit, shame about the made in china logo, but the looks and sound make up for it! Value: you get everything you could possibly want for your money apart from thr skins. i'd rather pay extra money to get decent drumheads with it than have to use the factory skins, however they're easily replaced and isnt a hugely big deal Overall: my last kit lasted 7 years but was no where near as good as the ludwig in any way, il give ten years at least before i start thinking about getting a new one

Sound: First of all I don't play drums! I bought the set so my friends can jam at my house. But even though I don't play drums I can still tell that this set sounds sick. The only problem I have is with the toms and stock heads suck (but who doesn't know that); they always fall down. I have my toms rack mounted now with the tom mount turned upside down. It works perfectly and anyone that has this set should try it. Also I've had several types of heads I think Studio X are better than the evens hydraulics. Studio X make the drums sound larger. Feature: The bass pedal sucks and I lent to someone who broke it. but thats ok because I replaced that with a dw 9000 double pedal, everything else is great. All the hardware saved me a bundle. Ease of Use: I've moved this set so many times I can't tell you how easy it is. Everything is balanced so well except the spurs for bass wont stay in place. Quality: Its Ludwig. It's going to last forever. Value: You can't find a better deal. I paid 550 for mine because it was a display and the end of a retail month at sam ash. Manufacturer Support: Never going to need it. The Wow Factor: It looks awesome I have it in amber. Overall: I've never been more satisfied with any other purchase I've made. It just sounds great.

Sound: I recently purchased this item. As with other reviews I put on evans hydrolic heads.The kick,toms,and floor have a nice,big bottom end sound. The floor tom has a small ring,but I can live with that.I just used this kit live and it rocked.I did not use the snare as I perfer the one I had before. Again I will need to put a new head on the snare.The tom racks do need some major tighten to keep toms at position you need them.Overall pretty pleased with the kit after making a few minor changes to it. Feature: drum pedal i won't use,as I have a double kick.Cymbal stands were a nice addition. Manufacturer Support: Recievced product quickly The Wow Factor: I got the black.Looks good with the shiny chrome

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: This is the best set for the $$! Features are top notch for the mid-range set. True the heads could be better, but for what you get...... Upgraded from a set of Groove Percussions...the lil' blue $279 kit. It was shot! You really see/know the difference good hardware makes. I have had no trouble with the bass drum stands. Mine are thick, well braced and have a deadly spiked end that will hold to the floor and not let go. Serious! Also came with a pair of xtra legs....that look like the thin ones everyone was complaining about....but I might be asking someone what they are for. I'm missing nothing, so. Feature: Has the best hardware I've seen. I bought a snare stand 2 mos. ago for $45 that is no where near the quality of the Ludwig. The stand looks to be a $75 or more quality by itself. I wouldn't want to think how much the hardware would have cost (in real time) if bought separately at this level of look/feel quality. It is very good. Also came with enough nylon washers for the bass drum too (was concerned about that) Ease of Use: Small learning curve on the heads, but you get decent heads with this kit. Sure they're not 'Evans', so you wait for that guitar center sale at half off, and being it's July '06, guess what's on sale this month. Get 'em while you can. Quality: Top o' the Line. No questions asked. Best Bang for the Buck. Remember reading about this guy that had a pair of 70's Ludwigs that said this kit topped the Chicago Built Ludwigs in quality. He also mentioned other improvements, and that the hardware was 'beyond Heavy-Duty'. I Love It!!! Value: I challenge anyone to make a better drumset and sell it this inexpensively and not jerk us on the quality. GREAT JOB, LUDWIG!! (Even if it is Chinese made!) Manufacturer Support: Ha. I'm 15 minutes away from Monroe, NC. If I need anything, "Come On Down" they said. That's the best support you can get!! The Wow Factor: Like I said, make a kit like this and sell it. It's what everyone wants at a price point they can afford. Great Deal. Overall: It should last years. The tom mounts are no problem, and if you looked hard enough in that bag of lugs, there were three line threads that go in between the rubber mounts and the rim to give you some leveling help if needed. They screwed right on the lug, so they fit perfectly. Would have liked all of the date codes in the drums to match, but for 3 boxes that would've been a chore for the store to sort out. I got bass/tom dated 08/05, then the toms'snare are dated 05/06, but everything matches...no problem.
