Published on 12/21/09 at 15:00Well, I've been a musician for approx. 9 years, and drums were the instrument that I began with and are what I mostly play. My pastor had bought this 'cheap' beginner drum kit for his daughter, but she never really picked them up. I came along, and he knew I'd enjoy them a lot more, so he gave them to me, as if he thought they weren't worth a whole lot. So, he pretty much gave them to me for free! Compared to the crappy, 30 years-old lame excuse for a drum set I currently had, these had an invisible halo above them. lol This drum kit is a medium, metallic green, and has four drums (a snare drum, one rack-tom, a floor tom and of course, a bass drum). It also came with two 14' Power Beat hi-hat cymbals, and an 18', Power Beat crash/ride cymbals, with all the stands. And I added a 10' Zildjian splash cymbal and an 18' Zildjian projection crash cymbal.
Like I mentioned, my pastor gave this set to me, and I didn't really pay him for him. He didn't even ask for any money!
Well, the factory drum heads were okay-ish, but I'll eventually replace 'em all with Remo Weatherking Pinstripe heads. I was quite pleasantly surprised at how strong and well-designed all of the hardware was. Although I used a hi-hat stand I had bought, all of the other hardware was strong, double braced, and durable (that doesn't mean you should leave this kit in a leaky garage for a decade).
...I really can't think of things about this drum set I did not like. I'd say the only bad things are the somewhat cheap drum heads that came with it. But really, that's a small issue.
Again, the hardware I got on these drums is fantastic, and definitely not what one would expect from a 'cheap' beginner drum kit!
All in all; if this set was lost/stolen, I'd totally buy a drum set from this company again! GREAT value for the price. Even though I paid nothing for them, I see these drums as a steal of a deal.
I also think these drums are stage-worthy. Well, I'd use them on a stage any day.
