I've waited approximately a month or so to write my review. I absolutely LOVE this kit... 100%!I play a lot of smaller clubs as well as bigger venues, so I thought I would give this set a try...The footprint is tiny, but the sound isn't... I replaced the stock heads with classic Weather King Remo Ambassadors and left the stock resonant heads on the bottoms... The toms sound amazing... I get a wonderful punchy sound out of the 8" tom and the 10" floor tom --- I use the 10" peanut snare as an accent snare and/or third tom w/ the throw off... I use an old Pearl President for my snare [I play country/blues/ Americana/ and rock-a-billy and do a lot of brush work, so I needed a 14" snare]. My cymbals are Avedis - 16" crash off the kick mount where the 8" tom is situated... and off the the L-rod mount off the kick ,I use an˜18" crash ride. I have 1948 13" Avedis hi-hats that are paired with an old Ludwig hi-hat stand...The only drum that gave me some trouble is the 14" kick... I replaced the resonant head with a clear Aquarian and loosened the keys as soft as I could and now have a pretty decent kick... [it's a work in progress]. I bought an Iron Cobra 200 and that works great with this kick...Bags came with this set and they are very well made. I did purchase the matching hardware bag that goes with this set and it carries all my hardware including two snare stands, L-rod, tom mount, and floor tom legs.I get the usual giggles and rolling eyes when I show up with this kit... That changes as soon as I start playing... Folks are amazed at the sound I'm getting from this tiny giant.My band hosts a monthly blues jam and I've had nothing but outstanding reviews from the drummers that sit in and play it!In bigger venues I do mic the kick...Everything is first class with this kit... the finish, the hardware, the sound-If you want to downsize, I highly recommend this kit for a gigging drummer.

I purchased this kit as a warehouse resealed box. It arrived in great condition with only slight wear on heads, which I would change immediately anyway. The kit is tiny. It will be easy to travel with. The sound is amazing!! Even the tiny bass drum has a surprising amount of punch!! This makes me 3 Tama sets that I currently own. You can’t go wrong with Tama or zZounds!

Well everyone that sees it, says the same thing. Look at this thing!!! Its so cute!!!! But the sound is great and super appropriate. This drums are small and super easy to tune. If you are a gigging drummer, these are super easy to move and set up and sounds great. The drums are great for more quiet situations and if you want to be loud they can be loud with the right touch. The little 10 inch snare really cracks and has great dynamic to quiet to loud. Always a head turner and perfect for a smaller atmosphere.
