How long have you use it?

I think I bought in 2004 ...

What is the particular feature you like best and least?

The fusion model makes versatile drumkit. I had several pop roots rock formations, and generally we change skins and go. According to the groups changed the snare (14 Gretch maple piccolo copper 13 pearl, pearl brass Sensitone 14 now for the last rock formation).
I like the bass drum that can be deep or dry and precise as styles zic, Mattee with a cushion. I opted for the vent on the skin of resonance is used for a microphone and hit reso when taking son.Le microphone is placed in the vent towards the impact bat that personal its suits me well.
I would stay here again on a 20 now for ease of transport side, but the standart is 22.
The toms 10,12,14 is good, but I do make another tom 16 rock and tom 10 remains in the closet because I do not want a charged drumkit. I kept 12,14,16. I keep the 10 potential recordings, you never know ...
Having done a lot of separation between the different formations, I find quite difficult to balance toms. As the tom sounds quickly, as for the other I have often struggled to find the desired sound. But once settled it sounds and it lasts, not excessive to settings.

Have you tried many other models before buying it?

Not really at the time, it was a favorite during a test to baguetterie.

How would you rate the quality / price?

The value for money is generally correct. You pay for the brand new, but there is opportunity to steal as long as the person was careful. For me it is an instrument that can keep them for life if maintenance well. We will not be disappointed as with some entry level which you get tired quickly progressing drums.
I waited 1 year and a half the arrival of tom 16 custom, the smx series is no longer marketed. I have a little tom when m ^ denotes me not with the rest. The wait was worth it, especially since I paid 1/3 less than the new identical except plates brand series.

With experience, you do again this choice? ...

I like the drumkit and at the time I took it as the opportunity arose.
We also find beautiful in other fabriquant.Yam custom absolute, Gretsch ...
The rest is a matter of representative test and personal taste ;-)
