Sound: Wow... for a kit of this price, I think it's unbelieveable. As a sound engineer, I've mixed all kinds of drums and have to say that right out of the box, these drums sound fantastic! I was told that I would probably want to replace the heads after a short time and upgrade, but I think the stock heads sound great! Overall, you could spent a lot more money and get a set that doesn't sound as good as these babies. Lots of thunder! Feature: The hardware is top notch. You could pull an Nirvana on this set and still turn around use it the next day. Not that you'd want to, I have the Copper Mist and it's absolutely beautifulI'm not sure that I see any weakness in this set at all. I compared it to many other sets in the same price range and they just don't stand up. The birch and basswood sound sooo nice. There's a lot of depth of tone to the kick and toms. The snare has a full sound and is very loud. Actually, all of these drums are loud and powerful. And I love the hi-hat stand and kick and hat pedals. It's all really everything I could want it to be. Ease of Use: No brainer, no hassle. This set sounds amazing. It comes with an instructional DVD and a lot of written directions for setup. I'm no pro, and it took me a very short time to get them up and going. Quality: Quality is what sold me on these. I couldn't find anything else close to this price range with such quality craftsmanship. Value: Honestly, I can see sticking with this set for a very long time. The only upgrading I'll ever have to do is adding more cymbals... and perhaps a cowbell. =) Manufacturer Support: I just got them and haven't had a problem yet. The best support is the kind you never need. The Wow Factor: I had eyeballed this exact set for several months before making my purchase and I just couldn't get it out of my head. My first impression of them was "WOW". The color choices of this line are the best I could find. The Copper Mist is simply unbelieveable. These are not a bunch of drums shoved in the corner creating an eyesoar... They are a piece of art. I have to keep myself from drooling as I look at them. Overall: I think I could keep this set forever and be happy. They're everything I like a set of drums to sound like. I couldn't be more satisfied.

Overall: I highly recommend anyone getting this kit. It sounds great, has great hardware and looks cool. Don't cheap out and get the lower quality imperialstar or other brand "starter" kits.. Save your money and get this one with a nice cymbal pack, you'll thank me one day.
