"Good value, needs additional gear to make it great."

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars

I now have a great set that I pieced together myself and I am very happy with the value.
Sound
The pads are great, the cymbals are just OK, the kick trigger was weak, and the rack leaves a lot to be desired. I replaced the rack and the kick trigger, added a nice roland sound module. I also replaced the ride cymbal (with a roland CY-15R) and added a Roland CY-8 crash cymbal. Now I have a kick great set. All told, I still spent less than if I bought a mid-level Roland gum-rubber pad kit. I have a great set at a great value.
Features
The pads feel great. The cymbals are fine as long as you get a different ride cymbal.
Quality
The rack is weak and isn't exactly designed for grown men. Replace the rack with a Tama or a Pearl. The finish on the pads is great - no problems.
Value
I got mine at a bargain basement price. The going price is still a solid value.
Manufacturer Support
Pintech has great support and a *LIFETIME* warranty. Not too shabby considering the price.
The Wow Factor
It is not the sexiest of sets (until you replace the rack and get some decent cymbals). Then the sex appeal goes way up. The shells on the pads look nice.
