I use this drumkit for 5 months this is my first drumkit, the skins are of poor quality but the sound is not too rotten if it gives good. I have an essay eLinko, and PEARL EX but I did not have enough money. The ratio price quality is perfect as it is for beginners. With the exprience I would not have that choice again, I would opt for a PEARL EXR with a bigger budget.
