"The best value you will find."

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I expect to have this kit for at least 5 years and to keep adding more and more to it and turn it into a monster. and maybe way down the line replace the shells.
Sound
For an "entry level" kit it has a really great sound but there are some things that need replaced, the heads on the snare and toms (as per usual with any new kit),and also the snare beads because they tend to pick on any frequency when you hit the other drums and this does cause too much snare buzz. the stock bass heads actually sound really great and have that chest pounding thump.
Features
The hardware that comes with this is the tama stagemaster hardware, it is all double braced and is very high quality.
Ease of Use
If you are a drummer you should have no problem playing this kit. I wouldn't recommend this kit for an absolute beginner due the size and the complexity.
Quality
The build quality is top notch on these drums, you can't go wrong with tama!
Value
This is an incredible value, musician's friend has the same kit with just one more rack tom but they are charging an extra $500 for it.
Manufacturer Support
everything was perfect so there was no need for customer support.
The Wow Factor
This kit to put it plain and simple looks badass,it feels great to play.

" This category is much more expensive is not better"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
It was not my instrument, but further improvements will be costly. If you count the whole thing together so that the money is much better both of these take the money. / Pearl, DW, Premier, / If you serious about the development of the factory is an excellent instrument, it can be.
Sound
This is an excellent product. The club need to be replaced by the Evans G2 skins from.Produces excellent sound.The Bass Drum Aquaria hitting the skin needs to be done. needs to be done. Comes the voice of a very. Due to the necessary tuning.
Features
The Rack is a systematic problem there is no damping assembly. This needs to be improved! On resonant
Ease of Use
The original is not really an appropriate metal Snare 14 "x5, 5" I'm trying a new skin is also an experiment developed by Aquaria club to improve his voice. The appropriate size of 14 "x6, 5" or 14 "x7".I also added a 14 "x6, 5 wood volubility. Minimum 8-10 layers of wood.The Bass Drum Pvc flange is not good.I also did another timber Bass Drum flanges. Better sound
Quality
Aesthetically good. From the PVC color.Tam Rack up a little to strengthen the weak.This is mainly a problem in the solution sistem Rack resonance. Of the original hitting skins to be exchanged, it does not give a true rock sound.Hardware said the medium, although it is not peak construction.
Value
Basically, music is not bad, but it needs to be improved, because of the good marketability.Medium hangszerre classified.
Manufacturer Support
Several changes are made. The components produced after much waiting. I'm a 18 "x16" floor tam waited 8 months. The 10 "rack tam 6 months.Therefore, the period of intensive expansion. The change is very high-pitched sound.
The Wow Factor
The price is difficult to determine. TAMAN one of the weaker product. Many improvements are needed. Notably, the elimination of resonance Rack tom.Much less will have new types of products to reduce Rack Tom rezonant are installed.

"amazing drums, amazing sound"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
i expect to use this set extensively on the road and in the sudio. i dont see any problems with it, and i hope it is true..so far so good.
Sound
I love these drums. just got them last week. been playing them a few times... they sound amazing right out of the box. changing the heads will make it sound better, but as they sit now, they do sound great.
Features
everything promised on the site was included. everything works great, the quality is great.
Ease of Use
i have always played 5 peice kits, with double pedals, and add on toms and what not. i was a bit worried when i first set this kit up that the second bass would somehow feel different, and the toms were too far away from the floor tom for a smooth roll... but i was wrong. this set is amazing, and plays wonderfully.
Quality
no blemishes, nothing broken or damaged. everything is solid as whould be expected... the pedals feel a little bit light, as i dont know howlogn they can take being pounded. i play in 2 metal bands, and have always used the iron cobra pedals... these have similar features but feel more flimsy. i would suggest they are ok for rock, jazz, and even someone with lighter feet than me. the stands are rock solid, and the tom stand is also great.
Value
def worth the price. i can easily see this kit going for another 500$ easily or more
Manufacturer Support
i dont know, i didnt need any customer support, everythign shipped way faster than i expected, no damaged boxes or anything... so i guess that is a testament to zzsounds that they are good and easy to deal with
The Wow Factor
this is a solid looking set as well as sounding.

"The necessary changes will be spent on a very good instrument of it. But forget a high-quality set of cymbals!!!!Zzsound than i"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I played it a lot.3 garnitura club until I changed the skin from the Evans G2 have not changed over the whole thing.This was the real rock sound.Unfortunately, though on a smaller and smaller tusks bodies drum manufacturers.But the volume is a big difference in a drum mounting.Hog think it is very wear this series again.Produces much better quality from the Tama series also, of course, no such price.For example, Tama Rock Star has a much higher category, this design is 8 pieces.Here, the upper suspension tamo already quite well settled.If you could choose I would choose the latter, even if it would be a little more. Miklos KLeiban Hungaryan drummer
Sound
Basically, this is a good instrument.Little to be improved, for example, of the original hitting Tama skins must be replaced.I recommend Evans G2.The drum foot Aquariant.A good tuning and Tama comes the real sound.Tama is the company which is not only the initial set of beginners, but advanced to production.The drum foot plastic tree cava to be replaced.The other big problem is that the very top tamo resonate in a stronger bat.Really translated for greater attention to this.If we are coordinated with an excellent instrument.Especially rock music have to offer.But do not forget to stock or a high-quality cymbals.Fellow musicians will get a lot of fun.
Features
The components are relatively stronger in the stand to be used.This is of course thanks to the quality control of Tama.One big problem is this. Does not make the original Japanese.Made in China.This is scarred by the quality and sound.
Ease of Use
Good is a good idea to use the two-foot drum solution.Swarm all works nicely, of course, to whom what to expect.
Quality
The installation of the very well tolerated even stronger recourse.Various colors are available, but not painted foil design.Wear of the film is good enough, but throw in a draft garnitura not hurt.
Value
Other similar categories of installations in relation to the launch price is not bad.Small financial expenditure is an excellent instrument
Manufacturer Support
I have for years had struggled a lot with him until the sound was very good rock, get it.
The Wow Factor
The extétikai excellent appearance.Nice work on the lamination is relatively demanding.Big enough to color choice.The hardwer works well. In such a high price categories musical instruments if you do make the necessary changes.Fellow musicians will get a lot of fun.I used it for 3 years, and had no problems with it.
