Just set this kit up yesterday bought the driftwood finish. What an amazing looking kit. Easy to tune Tom's and the kick port gets rid of the need for a pillow in the kick drum very please with the set snare a little ringing for me will be upgrading the heads on the snare

This kit is absolutely gorgeous and sturdy! I love the mapex system for the rack toms. Keep in mind that this kit does sound a little high pitched, which I didn't consider beforehand. A few tweaks, combined with some hydraulic heads, and the toms are now absolutely perfect. They're bright and pingy but still can sound muted and thumpy if you get the right heads and right tuning. Make sure to get new heads as the mapex stock heads aren't great (to be expected, but they're still solid for being stock drum heads)For 700$, I don't think you can get a better kit. The snare is decent enough too. I upgraded to a Tama snare, but the mapex snare can get you incredibly far, outstanding for a stock snare drum. The kit is on the smaller end, but its pleasantly small. I'm 6'5 and the kit is still comfortable to play despite being on the smaller end. My bandmates noticed it was smaller than other kits, but still looked sleek and classy. The kick drum is also wonderful, produces a fantastic tone, and surprisingly it sounds excellent with my double bass pedal.An incredibly versatile, reasonably priced, gorgeous drum kit. I might upgrade some day, but I doubt I will for many years. Wonderful product. Thanks to zZounds payment plan, I was able to purchase this as a broke college student in grad school. Can't thank this website enough. Got it in a few days and I'm never looking back. Thank you!
