Feature:
Great hardware with it... the tom mounts, the hoop clamps, all A-1 material. Of course, what else would you expect from Tama?

Quality:
A-1 quality

Value:
Great drums for the price.

Desirability:
I purchased the Dark Cherry Fade kit... sight unseen. I was buying on faith from pics I have seen on the internet and on other people's recommendation. It looks SWEET!

Sound:
Great sound. Punchy with nice tones. It was just what I was looking for!

Ease of Use:
Easy to set up and tune. No problems here.

Support:
Tama was contacted by the store which I purchased it from... they were true to their word as far as delivery goes. It arrived pretty much right on time.

Overall:
I will be satisfied with this kit for many years to come.

Feature:
Easy set up, keeps the tuning, looks fantastic, especially in dark venues. When the spot lights hit it, look out!

Quality:
Engineered well, especially for dumb drummers. Plating is excellent.

Value:
Comparative to others.

Desirability:
Lava Glass Glitter has to be the best color ever. If you actually look under the microscope at the glitter, it's a bunch of cracked mirror pieces, then covered with the Lava laminate. Ingenious.

Sound:
Was actually amazed that it does sound better than Maple!

Ease of Use:
No sharp edges, and all construction is first class.

Support:
Even made a custom size for me.

Overall:
I might buy two of these sets, in case they don't keep this color around.

Quality:
Have had this kit for a few weeks, so far so good. I've done two studio jigs and the kit shined; can'nt wait to try them out live.

Value:
Seems to be a good purchase. Time will tell, but do feel like will have this kit for a long time.

Desirability:
Everyone who has seen them loves them. Lava glass glitter, a new look for me.

Sound:
Sweet, warm and round. Very nice expressive tones. They also have a powerful attack when desired.

Overall:
I am quite satisfied so I will always have a b/b kit. I also play an all maple set; but this tama kit is SWEET.
