  Overall Opinion

  I bought this drumkit 8mois ago for the price, quality: finish it all a very good set. I was mostly blast and double kick pedal is enormous. To snare my skin aquariam Hi energy sound is very precise and slamming. Toms for the skin are quickly changed. A good midrange batteire for all rock style.

  - For how long have you been using it?
  
  It's been two months since I use it.
  
  
  
  - Did you try many other models before getting this one?
  
  Not so in batteries birch. Pearl VBX only one and a Tama Superstar Hyperdrive was birch / basswood.
  
  
  
  - What thing do you like most/least about it?
  
  Look! I found a superb finish. Then especially the sound of birch which provides a good general attack and good bass (depending on skin used). If you hate the harmonics on the toms, the skins are changing. On the snare drum, I found the attack snapping at first, but this feature has quickly faded. Once my skin changed, (config rock: HDDry Evans, Remo Pinstripe and Aquarian Superkick II) it sends the block as it should!
  
  
  
  - What is your opinion about the value for the price?
  
  Purchased € 933 Thomann complete with hardware. Namely that in France it costs about € 799 € and 999 The Baguetterie on Woodbrass but without hardware. I think it was set 100% birch (with 6 barrels and more!) The cheapest on the market today. Who says better?
  
  
  
  - Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
  
  For a drumkit in birch with this budget, yes. It is a good set!
