Feature:
My parents got the set so some of the parts got lost. I found that peavy did not use standard threads on anything so I had to hunt for replacement parts. (Lost cymbal and throne nuts)
Quality:
The finish is peeling off after a few years. Other than that it looks good and won't break. Doesn't sound great but its solid
Value:
Good beginner set get new cymbals and heads. I wish there was a boom stand and the cymbal stands were a little heavier (they fall over playing punk beats).
Sound:
Personally, I got it and it sounds as good as my friend's CB set I'm using now. However, after looking around it definitely sounds like a beginner set.
Toms:
The toms aren't too bad, I perfer mounts on the lugs, and promounts not bass drum through mounts.
I use the floor tom for stuff like Paramore, and Underoath, and it is perfect! The other toms leave room to be desired.
Snare:
I don't like the snare at all, the head gave out after a month of regular use. Even with Remo Emperors on there, it still sounds like a beginner concert snare, not a rock snare. Too metallic, I prefer a wood snare, just my pref.
Bass:
Not too bad for a shallow bass drum. Get a muffler on there, but watch out its resonance deadens quick since it is so shallow.
Overall:
I have played drums off and on for about 5 years on this set and it has been a work horse and now I am looking for a deeper sound since I know the tone I want. Good beginner set, price wise you pay less than what you get, but in drums that's not much when a snare can easily set you back more than this set is worth.
