When looking at reviews of kits of this price you'll usually see 'its great for a beginner'. The hardware, although awkward at times is very tough and will last a long time. The wood used looks great and is light yet durable. This isn't really a problem if you're careful, but you might wish to buy a rack later on if you're accident prone. Also, the tom mounting system is a bit awkward and if you're not careful you could end up bashing the toms on the bass drum every time you want to move them. I have only a few dislikes that I can think of instantly - the original Remo heads soumd absolutely awful and If you're going to buy this kit buy some better ones along with it. The hardware is great too, but I'd advise upgrading the cymbal stands to pearl ones later. The snare has a lovely crisp, deep crack to it the bass drum makes a very deep, powerful boom, the toms (with upgraded heads) are clean and tonally rich. And it doesn't stop there - the drums sound great as well. It looks several price ranges up with the wooden bass drum hoops. Initially I was worried that I should have brought something in the next price range (like another pearl export) but when I actually saw the kit I was astounded. I eventually decided to replace it and bought a Yamaha YD series drum kit from ebay for £360. I used to have a 1970's pearl export but it was in really bad condition and I quickly became tired oh having to hold the hi-hat stand up with my knee (no joke).
