Best I've Seen For The Money
I bought this kit today, and am very happy with it so far. I guess it's assumed by manufacturers that buyers of drum sets don't need instructions because it's pretty cut and dry, plus there isn't only one way to set up drums. I remember my first set. My parents had no clue how to set it up. The snare was on the immediate right of the bass drum and about 2-3' up on the stand. Anyway... As far as the sound quality. A lot of that has to do with the heads you use, as well as any preferred customization that the drummer might want to make. You can't ever expect the sound you want right out of the box. The first thing I always do is take the front bass head off and put a blanket or pillow up against the beater head and put the front head back on. I haven't messed with the rest of the drums yet, but a good thing to try is to take a 1.5" piece of masking tape, fold the middle but leave some tape exposed on both sides. Then adhere the tape close to the rim in an area that isn't played on. You...

Great Kit for the money!
This is a solid well built drum kit. Granted it is for kids and the cymbals aren't very great, and of course the kick drum pedal will probably be the first thing to fail. But overall the quality is awesome for such a small kit and the price is great! No tax and free shipping is hard to beat. It does not come with instructions and unless you are familiar with drums you should have a drummer (a real drummer, not your cousin who thinks he knows about drums) set it up for you. There may be a video out there that will help. I have been playing in bands for 25 years and this kit is as good or better than some of the entry level kits for adults. This thing should last many years.

Nice set
There's some whining here about assembly. I've never assembled a drum set before and was able to knock it out in about an hour. I was trying to take my time so that I wouldn't scratch anything. Just go to the Ludwig site, and there is a link under support for video assembly. It's not hard at all.I think this set is awesome. It looks and sounds good. I looked at several junior sets before ordering this one. I am 42 and have been playing guitar since I was a young teenager. I have some good gear and can spot junky stuff. This is not junky. It's not high end either, but you will be very happy with it. Like other drummers have told me, this is a starting point. From here you upgrade. If my son sticks with it, I'll upgrade the heads and symbols. Learning music is like learning a language, patience. You have to start somewhere, and this is a great fun start for a little person.
