| Subject: | Great Price and Unbelievable Professional Quality |
| Quality:
| Very much so tom arms have lots of adjustments which is awsome for different style drummers and the kits is just overall professionally built, the finish on the shells look like a thousand dollar set cant get any better for the money. |
| Ease of Use:
| Very easy to put together came with shells they toms had the heads installed from factory but you do have to put bass drum heads on which anyone can do recommend for beginners on up to pro |
| Sound:
| I took them right out of the box and they sounded awesome I played them just like they were with zero tuning on the toms |
| Value:
| You cant and wont get a better professional quality and looks for the price, very cheap price compared to other competitors |
| Durability:
| Have only played on it once since I got it but the shells and hardware seem just like the higher end sets 100%, Well be gigin with it soon and see no problems with playing it everyday. |

| Subject: | Great touring/on-the-road kit |
| Quality:
| The quality so far has been good. |
| Ease of Use:
| Its pretty easy to tune. Positioning if the toms is a little more limited than what I'm used to, but I make it work. |
| Sound:
| The tones on these drums are very clear and defined. I actually still have the factory heads on them so I still haven't heard there full potential. The give that very warm sound that maple shells are known to produce. |
| Value:
| Yes, I dont know of another kit that offers what this kit offers at this price range and I did a lot of research before purchasing |
| Durability:
| So far the durability has been great. I bought this kit to tour and gig with so durability was very important. The bass drum doesn't slide and the hardware remains how I set with no slipping or readjusting throught my gigs. Durability is great thus far. |

| Subject: | Great maple set for the price! |
| Quality:
| The finish on these drums is beautiful. The maple grain shows great through the clearcoat. The drums seem a little thin, I think they are only 6 ply all the way around from the snare to the bass drum. As far as the wood goes, they cant get any better. The one thing that surprised me was the quality of some of the hardware. The bass legs seem a little cheap and the ring holders for the bass ring seems a little cheap also. The hardware could be polished a little more, but this is something that I am willing to give up and polish myself due to the quality of the drums themselves. They had to cut costs somewhere! |
| Features:
| The best feature has to be the quality of the wood and paint. It is definitely comparable to more expensive pearl and tama sets. |
| Sound:
| Out of the box, the drums sound very different than sets made out of birch and poplar, even without being tuned. The sound is warmer and the toms are crisper since they are smaller than the "normal" toms. I have not had these drums tuned yet, so I cannot give an honest opinion on what they really sound like, but I know they will sound great. |
| Overall:
| I think it is a great product for the price. The company had to cut cost somewhere for them to deliver a good maple set at this price, so they cut back on some of the hardware. |
| Value:
| Great value. |
| Appearance:
| Great finish and paint. The fade make the drums stand out. The maple grain looks great through the clearcoat. |
