Overview

This kit is great for jazz trios- sound engineers often compliment the sound of it in small auditoriums!

Critic Consensus

Reviewed by John Kimock, Drummer for Mike Gordon Band:

For best acoustic drums, I actually have this kit at home and I love it. I’ve done some shows with it in small theaters and have gotten some rave reviews from our soundman. A cool trick to get some lower overtones out of the kick drum is to put a weight in the drum, which helps its ratings toward best drums & percussion.
