This drum set was recommended by my son's teacher. It's fairly easy to put together, just takes some time. Shipping was fast and customer service was great! This gets used several times a day and sounds great.

I bought this set for my son as his first kit and I am not disappointed. He is 7 and while it's a little big still he can play it no problem and will be able to play it for a long time. I can even sit down and have fun playing it! For the price, the hardware, shells and heads are great! Kick pedal surprised me with some quality action. My only complaint is the cymbals but that is a very minor thing at this point in his learning. I highly recommend this as a starter kit or even as a fun little kit for an adult to have to practice on.

Awesome for the price. Needs new cymbals and heads and it will come alive. Not sure how I didn't notice my kick drum was damaged, it was apparently dropped (probably during shipping). I filled the crack with glue, so hopefully it holds up, so far so good.

Wanted to play drums all my life. Grew up in a townhome. Bought a farm. Didn't need anything fancy just something to have fun and get better on so I can be better the few times I need to fill in at church. This thing far exceeded my expectations. Everything stock actually sounds good enough to practice with. I've played some old clunkers in my time with cymbals that make your ears wanna bleed. My intention was to upgrade cymbals on this first. But, while I would never ever play a show with them, they are completely adequate for practice. So I went double bass first instead. Stock heads are good enough, getting ready to replace them now. Love the smaller size since it's my 'fun instrument', it doesn't need to be the big center piece of my music room. Would highly recommend to anyone starting out over anything in it's price point or even slightly higher.

The four piece is a good set if you are looking for a particular style of music but for learning fills having the extra tom and a real stand makes a difference. The hardware and shells are good products considering the price, but the symbol holder is wonky and seems out of place. Considering the minor cost of upgrading to the five piece where you get a real symbol stand and another tom plus the kick is not such a small 18". Trying to upgrade the four piece separately will cost much more than if you go with the five piece in the first place.

Perfect first kit for my 6 year old son. He is large for his age and would very quickly out grow the junior kits. This will be perfect to grow with him for years. The drums sound great for the price - even the snare. The cymbals are not great but are much better than what would come with any other junior kits. For a complete kit for my son this is perfect and more than I expected for the price.

I needed a small club/cocktail/practice kit and the Roadshow does not disappoint! I own a custom Pearl Reference, so I'm particular. The sound, looks and overall feel are very good. The 18" bass drum has good thump , the toms stay in tune and have good overall tone and the snare pops nicely! This is a perfect kit for what I use it for or beginners. Side note- I don't use the cymbals, hi hat stand or bass pedal. This is a preference . They all seem decent for a beginner. I gave them to my niece :) So! Call Sean Geyer. He will help you pick one up in minutes.

I'm a guitarist of 50 yrs. Always wanted to learn drums but some guitar gear was always vying for my wallet. I saw this and thought, well, I know you don't get something for nothing, but I couldn't find a cheaper start. I mean, it even has a throne and stick bag. It is all you need. I've a lot to learn and it's tons of fun, big change for me, and it isn't easy learning to be quadredextrious. (if that's a word). The drums sound great, I've yet to get the small tom where I like it, and the cymbals, you know are there just so you have some, but even they surprise me. You should get yourself a set and start banging.
