This is the one, I trust the brand, I would definitely buy add ons from them if needed.
Sound
It sounds good to me!
Features
All the accesories were included throne, cymbals, hardware, even a website to help me set the drums up.
Ease of Use
As I was playing along to my music cd the drums sounded like the drums on the cd, so I was able to mimic what I heard.
Quality
It looks beautiful except for one tiny blemish on the silver part of the tom.
Value
It is an excellent price for me a beginner, not too cheap, not too expensive. According to other sets I looked at, this has all I need to begin without having to buy anything extra.
Manufacturer Support
No problems thus far.
The Wow Factor
I purchased the wine red to go along with my decor in my home. It blends wonderfully.

"GREAT SOUND...GREAT VALUE...GREAT KIT!!"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
Very satisfied with this kit and will be keeping it for many years. In time, I will likely get Remo heads, additional toms and cymbals to expand the kit. Based on the quality, it should last a long time.
I would also ignore some of the negative reviews on this site for this particular kit as they only provide trashy, adolescent remarks without any real substance to their review. The Ludwig LR1125RC Accent 5-Piece Combo is definately worth purchasing with your hard earned dollars.
Sound
Great sound all around, especially if you add a set of Zildjian cymbals. Sounds as good as kits costing much more.
Features
Except for the cymbals, includes all you need to start. The single bass pedal that comes with the kit is responsive, but I'll be replacing it with a double bass pedal for even faster bass action.
I'm glad that it doesn't come with cymbals like some other kits as most of those cymbals (included in some other kits) are pretty weak. I get the option of buying some great quality cymbals such as Zildjian ZBT 4 Pro which works very nicely with this kit (with an additional boom stand).
Quality
Very solid and well constructed. The Omni-Ball tom holders are tight and easy to adjust. This kit should last a long time.
Value
Excellent value based on quality and sound when compared to kits costing much more. This is a standard sized kit and not a diminutive jr. or compact kit with smaller shells, so you're definately getting value here.
Manufacturer Support
Didn't come with assembly instructions, which could potentially be a problem for someone who has never put a kit together. That being said, the kit, however, is easy to assemble and it's pretty intuitive.
The Wow Factor
Looks great and plays great! Proud to own it and play it.

"GREAT QUALITY LOW PRICE VERY GOOD DRUMSET"
i would probably have to change the drums heads on the toms but thats it
Sound
its awesome as for sound, the bass drum sounds really good, the snare sounds pretty good, the bass drum pedal is very responsive which is always good, but the tom toms have sort of an awkward sound to them they need to have a deeper sound.
Features
i love the memory locks ur toms don't even move an inch its great. I've played alot of sets where the toms move if u hit em hard but they dont on this set.
Quality
the drums get scratched pretty easily making the apperance not so great and the bass drum head got a hole in it from playing after about a year but thats not really its fault... but its a good quality drumset its really reliable
Value
this drumset compares to other sets three times its price which is very hard to find
Manufacturer Support
no
The Wow Factor
the colors are great the really draw u to it its a really comfortable set to play u can adjust it any way u want so ya it feels good

"A great set of Ludwigs"
If you are a pro drummer your not even looking at his set. As someone just starting out or just wanting a set to play around with, then the overall quality of the entire set and the price you cant go wrong. I think Ludwig did a great job with these drums
Sound
They are difficult to tune with the stock heads but I put on a set of Remo pinstripes and they tuned up quite well and sounded a lot better.
Features
Quality of the stands are very good. The throne is not the best but they are cheap and this one will work for a while. The pedal is not as fast as I like but again, it will work till you upgrade. It doesnt come with cymbals but you dont want the one in a cheap set anyhow, so get a set of your favorite cymbals and your better off.
Quality
They showed up in fine shape. All the hardware was as good or better than I thought it would be. Ludwig did a fine job with this set.
Value
Among the best in this price range.
Manufacturer Support
I had no problem with the set so I havent needed to contact them.
The Wow Factor
A quality name on a quality instrument at a decent price, dont get much better than that.

"Buy this set and be happy."
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This set could last me forever. Since I am human I would buy another set from another company sometime in the future.No hurry though.
Sound
Very good with stock heads. Everyone likes to say "change heads". I say tune these and you are good to go. Bass drum sounds sweet.
Features
Not sure what features are. I bought mine without cymbals. The hardware is not bad but I have replaced the foot pedal and have had problems with the clutch on the hi-hat.
Ease of Use
No problem here. Grab your sticks and start drumming. I had already set up drum set before so it was a no brainer. I think the box is misleading when it say includes DVD. Mine listed a website to visit and only part of video was free.
Quality
Going to a ten on this one. Made very well and sturdy. The problem with the clutch and foot pedal are related to nuts becoming loose and probably not a real problem. Just need to check em.
Value
Compare to other deals out there this is pretty solid set for the money.
Manufacturer Support
Don't know and hope I don't have to find out.
The Wow Factor
Looks great. I think they are beautiful. I got the blue.

"Great Set!"
This product is amazing and will last any drummer up until their profesional career, if not through it.
Sound
It sounds really good. The heads for the toms are not the best though.
Ease of Use
It was the first drum set that I set up on my own and it was really easy to do.
Quality
The shells are good and the snare head is fine, but the tom tom heads break really easily and the bass head dents really easily.
Value
This set is worth every penny.
The Wow Factor
It looks awesome. The black looks the colest though.

"good kit to start with"
this product is great for being a drummer in a band but eventually u should upgrade honestly ive had it for about 3 months now an im already saving up for a new kit but i reccomend this kit to any beginner.
Sound
first of the snare and bass pedal are a joke but the toms sound great if u replace the heads the kick drum is decent.
Features
came with a throne and harware at my local music store
Ease of Use
drums frequently come out of tune but useually the sound is good.
Quality
hardware on the floor tom fall apart and the bass pedal falls apart every 20 minutes but the rest of the kit is very reliable.
Value
in my opinion it is a great kit for a begging drummer but over time u probaly will want to get a new bass pedal and snare.
Manufacturer Support

"Good sounding if messed around with."
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Sound
After replacing all the drums with different heads, buying a new kick pedal, and purchasing a new snare drum (the snare that comes with this kit is a joke), the kit sounds great! I use evans G2 coated heads except on my kick drum, where I use a Remo ambasodor head. I didn't like the sound I got with the original accesories.
Features
The kick drum pedal is a joke! But, I did get this kit at my local music store, so maybe it is different elsewheres. The bass drum legs aren't very supportive, either.
Manufacturer Support
My local music shop deals with the all that stuff.

"Super Hot drum set on sale now!"
I would build onto this Drum Set.
Sound
Well,I personally like the 80's rock drumming sound. I would love to own a Ludwig drumset. It not Ludwig,then I would want Yamaha or Pearl. I prefer Ludwig or Pearl.
Features
It looks great. the best thing to do for a drum is to keep it looking brand new and to always keep everything in tune.
Quality
Well, I don't know cause I don't own one.
Value
Well,I've seen a lower price. I'd pay ... (price below) if I had the money.
Manufacturer Support
I have never met the company.
The Wow Factor
It has this kind of "force" that "draws" you to it that makes you wanna buy it and makes you save up for it.
