Excellent ValueThe Upbeat MX500 set is an excellent set of drums for the price. They're perfect for the beginner, casual drummer or suitable, in my opinion, to play gigs. The sound of the drums are deep and resonant and the hardware seems to be well engineered. Plus, if you're in need of everything....cymbals, throne, sticks, and drum key.....it's all in one package. The only changes I'm making are add a Zildjian 20" ride, modify the existing cymbal into a sizzle crash and add a cowbell. I rate the drums excellent for the money and rate Vintage Drum Company 100% for their friendly, efficient business practices.
Good Drum Set for Display/Prop Purposes ONLY.I received this drum set, brand new in its box,on 4/8/05 . The metal pieces for the set were oxidized and rusted. Two screws were missing. One adjusting bolt for the floor tom fell off immediately. The cymbals that come with this drum set are worse than trash can lids. The drum heads are all single ply and produce horrible sound. The outer rim of the bass drum has a defect which leaves any replacing head (I've tried three) with a crease no matter how the head is tightened. The set is made in China and is shipped in a box with the drum heads on the bottom and the set on top of them. The pedals for the hi-hat and the bass drum leave much to be desired. If I had prior knowledge of the condition of this brand of set, I would have undoubtedly chosen another. I find this particular set to be sub-par in all aspects.
