Was actually amazed that it does sound better than Maple!

Easy set up, keeps the tuning, looks fantastic, especially in dark venues. When the spot lights hit it, look out!

No sharp edges, and all construction is first class.

Engineered well, especially for dumb drummers. Plating is excellent.

Comparative to others.

Even made a custom size for me.

Lava Glass Glitter has to be the best color ever. If you actually look under the microscope at the glitter, it's a bunch of cracked mirror pieces, then covered with the Lava laminate. Ingenious.

Sweet, warm and round. Very nice expressive tones. They also have a powerful attack when desired.

Have had this kit for a few weeks, so far so good. I've done two studio jigs and the kit shined; can'nt wait to try them out live.

Seems to be a good purchase. Time will tell, but do feel like will have this kit for a long time.

Everyone who has seen them loves them. Lava glass glitter, a new look for me.

Great sound. Punchy with nice tones. It was just what I was looking for!

Great hardware with it... the tom mounts, the hoop clamps, all A-1 material. Of course, what else would you expect from Tama?

Easy to set up and tune. No problems here.

A-1 quality

Great drums for the price.

Tama was contacted by the store which I purchased it from... they were true to their word as far as delivery goes. It arrived pretty much right on time.

I purchased the Dark Cherry Fade kit... sight unseen. I was buying on faith from pics I have seen on the internet and on other people's recommendation. It looks SWEET!
