i plan to wear this kit completely thin before i get a new one, just get new heads and hardware, cymbals etc.
Sound
i just got this kit in pearly blue, used, all i can say is it sounds pretty good with the stock gretsch heads, but i would go ahead and get some new ones anyway. but i prefer a thud kind of sound on my toms.
Features
one thing that was different that i liked was the way the toms mounted on the bass drum, i thought it to be pretty neato how it worked
Ease of Use
it didnt take much tweaking at all to get a decent sound out of the whole kit, but again i would go for some better heads if you want a better tone out of your toms
Quality
considering i bought mine used, it is a really pretty kit and im very glad i bought it =)
Manufacturer Support
got it used
The Wow Factor
the colors they have here aren't my preference but i got a pretty pearl blue finish on mine and lets just say, if it were human, id marry it
