Ludwig Pinnacle Complete 5 piece Drumset by Ludwig, Wine Red Metallic Review

Searching for an affordable, quality drumset is not an easy task. I spent over 5 hours on the internet and found it difficult to find much affordable beyond the juniorpiece of garbage drum set. I searched many quality brands and none had a good entry level complete set (with chair) except for Ludwig. Our son is 14 and has taken lessons, as well as owned the prerequisite cheapish electronic Costco drum set which we threw away last year.I could not find a single review on this product even on Ludwig's own website (where for some reason they don't even show this set - could be because of price point).

I must say for the price, this is a good investment for a beginner to intermediate non-professional drummer.Sound quality appears to be good, quality of set is decent (again not professional level) for the price and we are happy with this purchase as is our son.

Couple of things to note... the set came with no set up instructions and we had to use the internet to figure that out.Purchase at least one extra pair of sticks.

Would I purchase this set again?Yes!Great price for the quality.Ludwig Pinnacle Complete 5 piece Drumset by Ludwig, Wine Red Metallic

Zildjian ZPB Pitch Black Mastersound Hi Hat Cymbals (15 Inch) Review

Zildjian ZPB Pitch Black Mastersound Hi Hat Cymbals

First off, I have these and YES they do chip. Zildjian or not. (that is probably why they are so cheap)

But with that said I love the tone of this series. I have the 22" ride 16" crash and these 15" high hats. I have had other cymbals including a few Z custom crashes but these are my favorite. Plus, the black does look pretty sweet and I get a lot of complements them but again like I said the downside is when they start chipping they lose a little of their swagger.

Product Description:
The Zildjian ZPB Pitch Black Master Sound Hi Hats feature a 15-inch diameter for power and a Mastersound edge on the bottom Hi Hat for commanding presence. Theundersides of the hi hats are uncoated to allow a crisp response.The formidable sound and look of Rock at its absolute best. Pitch Black cymbals were specifically designed to be coated and played loud! Zildjian started with their high performance Bronze 12 Alloy with its enhanced tin content and added weights, sizes and profiles guaranteed to deliver the brightness and presence required for Rock applications. They then developed a proprietary coating process which allows the cymbal to be durable and strikingly beautiful yet still open up like a cymbal should.

World Tour Jr Complete 5 Piece Drumset with Drum Throne and Drum Sticks - Gloss Black Review

World Tour Jr Complete 5 Piece Drumset with Drum Throne and Drum Sticks - Gloss Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
based on other reviews, I thought this would be a long, difficult process. Luckily, that wasn't the case. My 10-yr-old and I put it together in about an hour. There was a single piece of paper, double sided, with simple directions. Neither of us had ever put one together before, and we only snapped at each other once. However, I will say that we have been around musical instruments, and are familiar with what it "should" look like.

Tuning the drum heads was the trickiest part. Go slow. Put ALL the rods on LOOSELY, then tighten in "rounds", turning opposing rods to get a uniform tightness (if the drum head looks "wringly" it's because it is tightened unevenly. Hit the drum head (w/stick) in front of each rod to make sure they have same tone. If one area it sounds too low, tighten that rod, and so on until the perimeter of the entire drum head has the same tone.

Anyway, we got this for my 5-yr-old, who is very musically/rhytmically gifted, and he's looooving it! I was impressed with the sturdyness of this drum set. He is wailing on it. I'll try to update after a few months to see how it's holding up.
