Published on 06/28/01 at 15:00Got it for Christmas, not sure about price. I like the size, good sound can be attained, easy to assemble.
The Swingstar set is now even better, with all new specs and Tamas latest hardware: more adjustable tom holders, more stable and easier-to-tune bass hoops, new spur brackets you can fold with the spur on, the new Power Grid single-chain bass pedal, new Swivel Foot hi-hat stand, a new snare stand that swivels with the same tilting angle, and more. Set includes 16 x 20 bass drum, 9 x 10 tom, 10 x 12 tom, 14 x 14 floor tom, 5-1/2 x 14 steel snare, double tom holder, hi-hat stand, snare stand, straight cymbal stand, and drum pedal. Cymbals not included.
I like the way you can make adjustments easily. Good beginners set
Snare isn't up to par even w/ a new head. The switch on it (to go from snare to tom) has fallen off a couple of times.
Good qualty, ....Not sure about the hardware that comes w/ it because when I got mine it had different hardware.
I'm guessing it was in the neighborhood of $450 to $550 so I would say it is definitely worth it. Good beginner set. Could be improved w/ better snare drum. Well manufactured set of drums.
