Overview

SONIClear bearing edges support easy tuning on every drum in this beginner kit, and nine-ply poplar shells supply a warm sound. A single tom holder with full angle adjustment makes tom placement simple.

Everything a starter needs arrives together, from stands to a pedal and a throne, under the Drummer For Life idea of growing with the player. Hardware is described as sturdy and cymbals as high-quality. The limitation is that the listing leaves out cymbal alloys and drumhead details.

Who it's for

Beginners and families starting from nothing who need one box with everything. Experienced drummers who already own stands, a pedal or cymbals may prefer a shell pack.
