Overview
A bass drum lifter raises the small kick to beater height while low-mass mini-turret lugs and True-Pitch rods give fine tuning control. Multi-ply poplar shells carry Remo heads, and a mount with an L-arm holds the tom on the bass drum.
Students and working drummers get a compact kit that fits small stages and cars while sounding warm. Fine-thread tuning rods make small pitch tweaks easy. Stands, pedal and cymbals are separate, which adds to the setup.
Who it's for
Jazz, cafe and rehearsal drummers who move gear often get a warm, compact kit. First-time players with no stands or cymbals face a second purchase.
Pros and cons
- Bass drum lifter included
- Fine-thread rods for precise tuning
- Smooth snare throw-off
- Remo heads fitted
- No hardware or cymbals
- Small kick limits low end
- Poplar less resonant than maple
Performance notes
Pitch accuracy comes from the True-Pitch rods, whose finer threads change tension in smaller steps. Low-mass lugs reduce shell tension so the poplar shells ring more freely. The lifter places the small bass drum's center in the beater's path for more punch.
