This drum set was purchased for our church. We were looking for a nice starter set at a reasonable price. We got more then we expected. The quality was good and getting the throne with it was just great. Our praise band is grateful. Thanks

This is my first kit. I'm a guitarist/keyboardist who just wanted to be able to lay down my rhythms with some real recorded drums. Without any experience, I can't compare the quality of this set to any other.

Either due to cheap materials or excessively abrasive shipping & handling, the METAL kick pedal arrived broken in two!! I replaced it with the most inexpensive Tama I could find at Guitar Center.

The crash/ride is definitely more of a crash than a ride. The hi-hats are fine.

All the drum heads seem to be more plastic-like than some of the heads I've seen on other kits. But this, again, is coming from someone who has no idea of what the consistency of a drum head is supposed to be.

I'm happy with this kit. But I can only recommend it as a guitarist.

New Drum Set Wine Red 5-Piece Complete Full Size with Cymbals Stands Stool Sticks

We bought this drum set for my son and he loves it. They are very quick in sending everything to you I would definite use them again for any future purchases.

We got this for our 11 year old son for Christmas and he loves it! It's a great deal and the quality is excellent. My husband put it together and was very impressed by the quality which says a lot - he's a perfectionist to the extreme!

I purchased the drum set for my 3yr old son who has absolutley loved the drums since he was about 10 months old. I decided to invest into a set that he can grow into and eventually learn to play on a skilled level. I have been told that he is too young for lessons but he will be ready when he begins lessons. The maintainence with putting the drums together was actually easy with the assistance of the video instructions.

This set was purchased for my 10 yr old nephew. I feel it was a tremendous value. He is just starting in percussion and this set will help him to become further excited. He plays it often and is improving constantly.

Bought for my 6 year old son and 9 year old daughter for Xmas, so expectations weren't all that high. As it turned out, the Snare and toms sound surprisingly good after a little adjusting and fiddling. Toms tune well, don't ring, react very well to being hit hard and are the biggest surprise of all. Snare needs a lot of tweaking to get it going: adjust the strainer a little tighter and skin it tight and it's great. I may put a little batting in there to keep the ringing down.

Kick is what I expected - big and floppy and impossible to keep from sounding like it's got a broken skin. Old standby: pillows. Keep an assortment of pillows handy, and some packing tape (the reinforced type to stick on the inside behind where the mallet hits), Mess with it and it'll never be great but good enough for the kids. I may try a better skin, if I find one on sale.

Cymbals are complete, utter, unadulterated, total and massive doo doo. Like another reviewer said, if they didn't carry on with a shrill metallic fizzy blat for a few seconds I would be convinced they were made of shiny brass-colored plastic. Knew that was going to happen. Only option is replacing. Still - I got hardware for them, so there's that, and I can drill out the ride and make it a sizzler later. I might note the hat sounds not-completely terrible closed, so there's that, for what it's worth. This is the only reason this is a 4 instead of 5 star review.

I might also note I won't be running out for a set of Zildjians any time soon...let's see if the kids take to it. My son is a little Keith Moon Freakazoid with a fairly steady 4/4 beat going after only a few weeks, and his, um, "solos" are just like Neil Peart, if Neil Peart was six, autistic, and completely sucked but enjoyed it anyway. So proud.

Throne is pretty cheap, and I am concerned it may not last, but so far it's steady.

Yes, I lost the key within a week. Haven't owned a drum key in years. Better make the investment and buy in bulk.

Side story: I remember some kids I knew learning violin back when I was in school. Their folks get them some crappy rental, and after enough blood came from their fingertips and hours spent trying to keep it tuned they'd just quit. This set is way more than good enough for learning, and I don't see my kids quitting for the "junk" factor.

Note: Musicians Discount Warehouse, the seller, ships this in two boxes. They're big and heavy, and packaging is pretty loose. I was surprised there was no damage at all.

Anyway I built the thing after the kids went to bed on Christmas eve (builds just like Pearls and Tamas and Slingerlands, for the most part) and discovered I was missing a tension lug for the kick drum. Christmas day, I sent an email to Musicians Discount Warehouse. They responded that afternoon. Christmas day. They responded. Box wad of amazingfulness, there. They sent replacement lugs (I only needed one) and a free set of nylon tipped 5A drum sticks for the inconvenience. This is my callout to them: to respond to a customer issue on Christmas Saturday, and have replacements to me by the following Wednesday is, clearly, too awesome. Musicians Discount Warehouse rocks. True story.

I bought this drum set for my 9 year old daughter. She loves it. Assembly was easy. Appearance is nice, too.
I don't know much about drums, but for the money, I'm happy.

The Gammon drum set I just purchased has arrived. After setting everything up I can make this review quite clear. The drum set itself is a steal at 209.00. But just to warn you the cymbal and hi-hats are absolute crap!! If they didn't resonate Id'e think they were made of plastic. So be prepared to buy new cymbals and hi-hats and keep in mind the actually kit at this price is a deal and a half. I also purchased good solid drum heads with my order because the stock drum heads are pretty thin.

We ordered this drumset for our son for Christmas and we were very pleased. The set came, but it was missing a couple of the drum heads. Their customer service rep was very pleasant and repeatedly apologized for the missing parts. They sent them the next day and we were able to complete the assembly of the set (which is very easy). I would recommend this set as a great starter set for someone just learning to play. Our son loves it!!!
