Published on 11/02/03 at 15:00I paid exactly $400 for a red begginers drumset at a small music shop in Waterville, Maine, called Al Corey's.
My friends and I were just looking for something simple to replace the old, rusted, beat up, set that we used to play on so we took four, one-hundred dollar bills to Al Corey's and were like, "Give us a drum set." The set was simple, semi-low cost, and wasn't going to break down within the first week of use.
The cymbals it came with sucked! [or so it seemed.] They weren't even branded. And the toms weren't the greatest either.
The bass, when muffled, has a really nice sound; just as a bass should. The snare has a nice sound also. The cymbals prooved to be more efficient than was expected of them. The are beaten to hell at the moment, but since we don't have money to get new ones, they're gonna have to work. The set, overall, is well-built and should last a couple more years if taken care of.
If you're a begining drummer, Rockwood by Hohner beging set is a really nice set.
