Reviewed by John Kimock, Drummer for Mike Gordon Band:

This was one of the first kits to come out to appeal to any drummer across the board. It sounds great when anyone plays it. I’ve known drummers who have toured with it and I also know it to be a great kit to teach on as well as start out a new drummer who hasn’t played on a kit before.
