Gig - It!

I needed an inexpensive kit to gig, leave at clubs and rehersal space. Looked over all the majors and decided on this set. I'm very happy with it. I changed the heads right out of the box, set up and tuned. This set sounds great. Plan on immediate head replacement. Hardware is average but pretty much free anyway. Still $400 is a great price for a shell pack that with a few tweaks sounds and plays great. The silver finish looks great under lights. This set really sparkles and is VERY forgiving. Doesn't show dings and scratches and if it gets hooked, I can live with the hit. Great job MF... Fastest delivery ever!!!

Great For Starters

This set is great for people that have just started playing drums. I'm currently in a hard rock/metal bands and the toms need a lot of work but after you get them to sound right, no problem with them. If you are really looking for a great sound change the heads but after that, its all good.

I've been a drummer since around 3 and grew up listening to Iron Maiden, pretty much the whole reason i play. I havent gotten these yet, but played on a friends set who had Sonor. And i've always wanted a set because Nicko Mcbrain from IM used them for like over 15 years on all there albums, so yep they get a good nod from me.:)

I bought this set, becaseu i was getting back into drumming. I think this set is a good buy, the quality is great for the price. Only problem is, the toms have a slight ring to them, so I suggest changing the heads. Other than that. Great set....

Not a bad set

i recently bought this set because i wanted a set that would hold up for a few years til i can get some $. the cymbals that come with the set are absolutley horrible, but hey, sets dont come with zildjians or sabians. you have to muffle the bass drum and the snare drum, but after all of that, this drum set can sound just like a tama swingstar (played one before). this set only comes with a straight stand and a hi hat stand, but with a few booms and a few more straights, you could have this set lookin professional in no time. oh yeah, GREAT PRICE!
