Overall: I like the sound and quality of my new Gigmaker 5 pc kit. I wanted a set to use for club dates and rehearsing and this is perfect! Rock solid legendary Yamaha hardware and a beautiful sparkle finish are the icing on the cake. this would be a wonderful first kit for any young drummer and a great kit for a budget conscious pro.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: I am not a musician, however we have several in the family. I ordered this drum set for my 15 year old daughter who has been taking lessons for a few months now and had been using some practice pads and a snare drum. She has progressed to a poi,ont where she needs a complete set to practice her 3 beats and more. I looked at all the starter sets online and in several music stores. Two things helped me make up my mind about the Yamaha Gig Maker Drum Set..One the Yamaha name, Yamaha can't put there name on som trashy product and Two I could take an extra 3 months to pay for it. It's better than layaway. We got the set yesterday on a Tuesday it was shipped on Friday, NJ to FL. I had been reading about putting sets together and watching video's and reading reviews. I got a little worried about putting the drums together so I asked where she takes her lessons and they said they would put them together for a fee. When we removed the drums from the well packed boxes we found the two Toms wer assembled and so was the snare. All we had to do was put the Base and Floor Tom together which took no time at all. My daughter and I learned about how to put drum heads on and we were able to really look at the qualitity of the workmanship. Yamaha did an excelient job on such an entry level drum set. The fit and finish is beyond what I expected and the sound was great.I would suggest this set to anyone I know who is learning drums and wont have to replace them after a year or so. I can't say enough about the qualitity and sound of this set.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.
