My overall revies is this is a great drum kit. However,. I have not played out with it .I have only played with it in rehearsals and it is a relatively new kit to me. Here are some of the things I have discovered atat I feel are significant about the kit. The bass drum is incredible. I would recommend this kit just for the bass drum alone. It has a very deep tone and a full tone. all of my fellow musicians like it also. The snare drum is not so good .I do not like the fact that when I release the snares the drum does not fully release if I have have proper tension on the snare. I have to figure some way to accomplish this or just not use the snare drum. The toms are adequate and sound just fine. I do think that if iI replace the existing heads with other heads I can get the sound I am looking for. Overall I would rate this kit in the scale of 1-10 as a 8 -9. But for the price I would rate it as a 9 - 9.5. It is a fantastic kit for the price. You will not go wrong since you will be spending less than a $1000 on this shell kit. Probably somewhere in the neighborhood of $850 - $950 would be the price.
