MGR/Austin Yamaha Al Foster Hip Gig Sr.
Published on 12/24/02 at 15:00I purchased this set, with an extra 10" tom for around $1800 off of interstatemusic.com
This kit is great. Yamaha makes very good products. The toms have a good amount of warmth, while still packing some punch. The bass sounds HUGE for such a little kit. And the snare has a wide tuning range, very versatile. It comes with single braced hardware, which somehow is remarkably sturdy.

Although, very portable, the bags become very heavy. And the bags aren't very well made (the seems on mine are beginning to come apart). I've also had a couple problems with the tom mounts. I wasn't able to get them in exactly the right place for my liking, not a big deal though.
Generally built very well. The Birch/Mahogany shells have a great sound.
Overall, this is an awsome kit for the drummer who has a couple gigs a night, or somone that wants a very good quality kit that is compact and sturdy, at a reasonably affordable price.
