Lea CesaniLea Cesani: I’m gonna start by saying I don’t know anything about drums.

I got these to learn on and I had NO CLUE how to put them together. The instructions were basically non existent…. So I found a YouTube video by a guy called Demon Sweaters… even though I was totally put off by his name I became soooo grateful to him since he really did a phenomenal job explaining how to assemble them!

They sound good to me and my novice ear and they are fun.

Kevin P.: I didn’t take it out of the box, I didn’t need to as it was clearly NOT fit for an adult. It did look good, the finish looked good & the chrome looked nice.

I got this as a Christmas gift for my wife, some of the questions & answers & the reviews lead me to believe it would be suitable, she’s about 5’5”, it is to small for her. It looks like it is a nice quality drum kit for a 5 - 10 year old (based on my daughter being 10 & she would just about be ok with the size).

If this is a gift then get it delivered away from the recipient lol,

I have scored the stars as an average score, what I see of it it looked good, just small, it was never built or set up but it could be amazing, read other reviews for that kinda thing. I couldn’t honestly mark down or up & had to score.

Everything looked like it was there & it arrived in good time. Still waiting for the collection of it.

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: Very well packaged. Beautiful blue color. Easy to assemble. Sounds pretty good. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because the hole that the cymbal screw , screws in seems to not be big enough. The screw wouldnt go in far enough to hold the cymbal rod in place. I had to stuff plastic in the metal lug to hold it in place.

Danielle Shaffer: Bought this for my six year old, definitely a good drum set for beginners. Wouldn't consider it for much more than that, though. We got it on sale so that made it a better value for the money. Not much thickness to the heads, they feel cheap and the pedal doesn't fit on the bass drum too well. You get what you pay for with this set but it was definitely worth buying this rather than something more expensive for my son to learn on. Not too terribly difficult to assemble.

PaulaPaula: The media could not be loaded.  7 piece drum set. The kids are pretty impressed!
About 12 years ago we bought a little cheap drum set. It cost maybe 30 dollars and lasted a month. This is a full sized, considerably better drum set! As a young couple there is no way we could have afforded this back then, so it is on the higher end for a young family on a budget. (Note: Eastar does make a simpler set for half the price)
But, now as a homeschool family, the price is what I would expect for my kids to be learning on for music class. You definitely get a very good value for your money!
It took about 2 hours to assemble with the help of two of my kids. One thing I would say is to make sure you run your finger around the bass drum rim and tom tom before placing down and tightening the drum heads. When I did the first tom tom drum head I didn't check and a little wood fleck or grain pressed into the head. It'd be awfully easy to puncture the head as you're focused on tightening evenly. Also make sure you tighten according to the pattern on the back of the instructions for a good even tension (my teenager pointed that out to me).
The Hi-hat cymbals are tricky to...
