this will be my 5th drum kit and most likely my last. unless something happens to it and has to be replaced or if i should get lucky and win or get another kit free.

Sound
straight out of the box this kit has an awesome sound. the tone rings added helped reduce the echos you get without. i have not tuned the kit yet as i like the sounds. the bass drum has a wonderful power sound. the snare is the only drum in the kit which i had to tune to the sound preferred. very compatible with the type of music i play. as with any drum kit, changing heads can make a difference in sound and sound quality.

Features
i was impressed with the fact that the tom rack mount for the bass drum not only mounted two toms, but in addition had a clamp to add a cymbal stand or other component.

Ease of Use
Easy to get sounds wanted. Actually as I said, i like the sound on the toms straight out of the box. The snare tuned easily to the sound i wanted.

Quality
it's Ludwig, maun what else needs to be said

Value
i have had a Ludwig Classic kit years ago. i just gave my semi-pro kit to my church. I would say the basic difference in this kit an the above is that it is birch instead of maple. Still great sound. Quality is also as good as the kits above. very good value for the bucks. again, it's Ludwig.
