Bought it recently to replace an old tama entry level.
Already it's solid.
well I will not dwell too much on the advantage of a bipod, such room for the double or the inclination of the HH.

The pros:

- Training with the lever is very precise and flexible, a revolution when you go from an antique
- The feet that can walk. Not only is it a bipod, but the more we can put the tabs as you want or you want, even completely on one side to fully pay the other!
- The sole long yamaha. 44/45 with my girl, it counts.
- Direct contact yet with the stem: the lever is not a mechanism that wacky lose the feel of cymbals. It slams the hihat foot very easily (nothing to do with charley to cable or Gibraltar which shifts)
- Spring adjustment simplissime
- It comes with a bag for lugging

The -
- Less accurate / powerful as her boyfriend at tama (the iron cobra deluxe). I compared the two in store for me and even if the 25% increase over the Tama are not justified, I would advise the tama those playing with charley heavy. Not a pet of oscillation in the spring. Cons by the training is more complex and therefore we feel less his cymbals.
- Weight. The concession to fiabilté surely, but it's the weight of a dead donkey.
- The system that offers 1000 possibilities bipod is excellent, but damn complex. Kudos to whatever happens to fold in less than 10 minutes to 10 generations without curse the engineer who laid it. Really a headache. The best would be to dismantle the occasion with a clamp and shoo it all hang from a rack or other foot (maximum free space)
- It's hardly the most expensive in its class (153 € new to me bought in Paris), but it's still the stuff of luxury. Not recommended for the studios said several drummers, the settings are complex, I do not give him two months before a brutus metallers pieces by forcing a fart on the bipod.
