This kit is amazing! Having played on everything from Pearl to DW to Orange County and even Truth, this kit can hang with any of them. It has the dimensions of the custom kits without the price tag. I've had this kit for about 8 months now and couldn't be happier with my purchase. As can be assumed, the stock heads are awful, but after putting some Evans G2's and a Remo Powerstroke on the kick, it's magnificent. The only reason I gave a 4 instead of 5 for features is the paint seems to chip off pretty easily. Other than that, the kick booms, the toms sing, and the snare cracks. Don't waste your money on custom kits, buy the ddrums!!!

Words can't even describe how amazing this set is. I love it. The maple shells are incredible, one of the best quality sounds you can get. I got the red burst shells which are gorgeous. I all over love this set. The only thing is that their mounting system for the rack tom is a little goofy, I recommend just using an ISS mount and then everything is all good. Definatley get this kit.

I got this kit as a gift for myself X-mas this year (2007) and WOW! I was amazed by the quality and sound i got out of this kit, not to mention the black on white finish is absolutly gorgeous.There are so many custom features about this kit i dont even know where to start,from the custom inspired finishes to the extra deep bass drum. I was split between either loading the HEAVY price tag of a custom kit onto my credit card or a production line kit,honestly this kit is NO DIFFERENT from a custom drum kit.The 24" bass drum sounds so full and punchy. I played my first show with this kit about 5 weekends ago and I had so many complimets on the sound i got out of this kit. The bass was the only drum mic'd but let me tell you, I had absolutly no problem geting these drums to project. They filled the whole room no problem. The sweet spot is also very easy to find and it sounds amazing. This is just an all around good kit. The only problem I saw was trying to find a case big enough to fit a 24x20" bass drum. Buy this kit if you want an amazing sounding kit for hardly any cash. THIS IS A STEAL!!!

you will not be dissapointed.

About 4 months ago, I got the orange 5 pc. rock set w/ 24" kick drum. I've never got so many compliments in my life. Everyone loves how they sound, but they especially love how they look. I've owned 6 different kits in the past 10 years of playing, but I've played on dozens. These are a step above all others even close to this price range. Right away, I put the Evans EC2 heads on them and EMAD head on the bass drum and I haven't had to re-tune them yet! They might be made in China, but they have USA quality and appearance. Get the 24" kick and cut out a port hole, you'll love it.

I got the orange set with 24" kick. What a pleasant surprise when I saw it. Very deep and rich looking. Much better than the pictures. I get more compliments than I ever have. Suggestions: Put Evans EC2 heads on toms, EC2 reverse dot on snare. For the kick, put an EMAD head on batter side using the big ring, and make sure to cut out a port hole to get that serious thunder. Now my ddrums sound better than any set I've ever played on. GET THIS KIT!!!
