When my son joined band I had NO idea about the stuff he needed for it. We decided to purchase a percussion kit (bell kit) rather than rent one. I checked all our local music stores and was stunned to learn that they ranged in price from 0- 0!! I immediately looked online for name brands like Pearl and Vic Firth. I found this one and it had alot of good reviews so I ordered it. It came quickly and we were really impressed! It is easy enough for my 9 year old to assemble and take apart on his own and I love the carrier and its sturdiness and added bonus it has wheels. Separately, the kit, carrier, stand, and drum pad would have been almost triple the price we paid. I had alot of jealous parents who bought their percussion kits at the music stores and only got a soft carrying case, and paid WAY more for it. I definately recommend this product for anyone who is looking for a quality instrument at a great price.

A better price and much better quality set than the music stores had for beginner band students. You won’t find a better set for the money than this! My daughter’s band teacher has even commented on the high quality of this set.

I bought this for my son who began band in 5th grade. He used it all year and it is still in good shape. Nothing has broken off, it is easy to setup, and lightweight.
