i just got this kit in pearly blue, used, all i can say is it sounds pretty good with the stock gretsch heads, but i would go ahead and get some new ones anyway. but i prefer a thud kind of sound on my toms.

one thing that was different that i liked was the way the toms mounted on the bass drum, i thought it to be pretty neato how it worked

it didnt take much tweaking at all to get a decent sound out of the whole kit, but again i would go for some better heads if you want a better tone out of your toms

considering i bought mine used, it is a really pretty kit and im very glad i bought it =)

got it used

the colors they have here aren't my preference but i got a pretty pearl blue finish on mine and lets just say, if it were human, id marry it

For the price of this set, the sound is ok. If you want a professional sound, I reccommend getting some Remo or Evans drum heads to replace the cheap stock ones. The snare can have a low, sharp sound. But it can also have a high pitched, tight sound. It's very versatile, but the toms and vbass drum definitely don't sound like a dream. The bass drum head is rather cheap, and so are the toms.

It does require some good tuning to get it to sound to your exact specifications.

The product is made well, except for one thing.. The toms won't stay in place. No matter how tight you turn the wing nuts, they fall or move left/right. I'm sure if you placed the toms on a more expensive part, they wouldn't move. No blemishes.

The product is good for this price. Just a couple of flaws. I actually paid more for this, but my set included the hi-hats, thin crash, and ride cymbals.

The product would make you want it. It is very sexy and it shouts out to your eyes.
