Value For Money : Excellent
I possde an ELX fusion (10 "12" 14 "16" GC 20 ") + the past 3 years. I bought it by accident, lightning, the most beautiful, and a fair price ( Euro 1000 with some hardware). And I really do! APRS replaced by the horrible protonated Pinstripe, a minimum of tuning, and plutt sounds good! Much of the harmonic Tama rockstar with the same type of skin (pinstripe), and Pearl is dlicate grant, but I prfre versatility (with a rockstar to jazz seems difficult with pinstripe in anyway!).
Only thing, the snare is certainly a good quality prices, but it really lacks body, it's dry, I have realized while trying to high-end (I did not realize account by adjusting the DC RPET steel or wood in all low-end, the CC of the ELX sounds much better in comparison, but my new Pearl Ultracast face I can not stand the DC ELX).

A good place for this MODEL is the possibility to order barrels in detail (well ... 6 months for my floor tom 16 * 16!), Which is not always possible for some mod the beginning / middle of the range.

It is beautiful this drumkit, trs photognique a shining across the hardware, the beautiful varnish, circles! The old brand labels are very stylish (I'm not talking about the news, I do not like, I find "ELX" is written too big, we only see a).
The suspension system of semi pro ISS tom is really great! (Avrifier think if you buy was that the covers fit in without removing the ISS so far, it's easier!).

The only repproche is the fact which is painted makes it fragile to shock, my GC is gash, sniff, but there is only me who can see it when I play!

I think in this price range is the most versatile and well done! I saw the equipment in the Tama same price because of the death rglages rptitif (in rehearsal room, the ball supports tom no longer held, it is very annoying, Because of drummers who Serent the ball too), the system is much more resistant Pearl with notched ball, if you count your drumkit dplacer concert.
The pedals of GC provided is correct, the hi-hat foot too. His right foot is really great

In short it is a drumkit that I intend to keep a long time until I can invest in high-end Yamaha or Pearl, but with ELX I'm not press. Fortunately I did not cost my parents who wanted to take the Deep 600 euro! I would probably buy a Pearl ELX dj new or used now that I know the market better batteries!

I would put 9 / 10 because Pearl could have made an effort on the pedals GC (but I think they have changed on the new MODELS for ELX ...), and that the fund clearly could be a bit better.
