I use this drumkit for almost a year, as a former bassist who wander in many groups I've heard a lot of drumkit (without necessarily playing it) and personally I think the final result that I was able to get on this drumkit is simply awesome! Personally I pay € 600 with a series tom and less FUSION. And after changing the original skin I have a snare sound ideal for rock / metal bass drum and a very deep and well presented. Frankly I really like this drumkit and I do not see why I type in the more upscale, while the sound j'obtient is already (almost) perfect ^ ^
