Comments about Yamaha Gigmaker 5-Piece Standard Shell Pack with 22" Bass Drum:
I am an experienced drummer...been playing for about 35 years...started in school concert band and jazz ensembles. Played in "garage bands" as a kid, and now play in a 7-member combo. I have owned several drum kits over the years.
I am very proud to say that my son, age 16, is becoming quite a drummer. After considerable research, and working on a budget, I chose this set as his first kit.
I purchased the shell pack without hardware, and added the Sound Percussion 5-piece hardware pack separately.
The shell kit was shipped securely, in two boxes. As a drummer, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of assembling the kit, as it gave me a very good look at what I had purchased.
For me, Yamaha has always been synonymous with quality when it comes to musical instruments. This kit didn't disappoint. The well constructed wood shells, tight outer shell wraps, quality metal hoops, and the heavy duty ball-socket tom mounts make it difficult for me to limit the description of this kit to merely being a "starter kit".
I agree with other reviewers in that it would be a good idea to have someone with drum experience help get these drums tuned properly. With this purchase, I also ordered Remo Tone Control Rings for the snare and toms. I should note, though, that even without the rings, I detected almost no hardware vibration noise when playing. I just happen to prefer the sound with the rings.
All-in-all, this is a solid, standard 5-piece drum kit - suitable for practice and performance - that should last well beyond your drummer's "beginner phase".
Enjoy!
Comments about Yamaha Gigmaker 5-Piece Standard Shell Pack with 22" Bass Drum:
I bought this kit as a 'beater' to bring out to gigs/parties because I don't want my expensive drumset to get damaged. For the quality/price I'm pleased with my purchase. I've been playing for a long time and this kit suits me just fine, if you're just starting out this isn't a bad choice. I might recommend having someone who knows how to tune drums help you, though.
I ordered the shell pack only so there isn't all that much in the way of special features, but I suppose the ball-and-socket tom holder deserves an honorable mention. I'm not a big fan of bass drum mounted toms but they've been staying put, no slipping. One thing I'm not real impressed with is the snare throw... basically it's made of plastic. It hasn't broken on me or anything but it doesn't give me any warm and fuzzy feeling of security either.
The quality is actually pretty good. The drums don't sound half bad, however it took me a little longer to tune them 'just right' than I expected. The lugs weren't smooth enough in my opinion, so getting them finger tight to start tuning meant using a drum key. The wrap looks very nice though, I bought the green one (white grape) and thought it looked better in person than in pictures. Again, I wish the snare throw off switch wasn't made of plastic.
I'd say as far as value goes this is a good buy if you're going to go with a brand new kit. If you've already got the hardware you could do a lot worse for the price.
