Whole kit overall is solid, stock drum heads are really nice, snare and rack toms needed some tuning but that's pretty normal. Hardware is solid, drum throne is great and comfortable, but cymbals are not so great. if you're only playing for yourself they are OK. But if you'll ever want to play some kind of gig on this drum set, i'll recommend buying some other cymbals. Overall, drums and hardware are great, cymbals not so much (only ride is acceptable, but still, recommend buying some other cymbal set). Played a couple of gigs on this snare, one and only thing to do with it to sound great is tunning and muffling and now it sounds amazing.
