Review Summary:
The Gammon 5-piece drum set features double-braced, black coated hardware at an unbeatable price. This complete set
includes everything, even the throne!
Pros: The best value for a full size drum set, without exception. More features than any other drum set in this price range. The price includes drum shells, hardware, cymbals and even drumsticks. Only one other set in this price range offers double-braced hardware.
Cons: With the low price comes compromises, such as, lower-quality drum heads that lack durability and good sound quality. Also, the set comes with hi-hat cymbals and one crash cymbal. You may want to add a larger "ride" cymbal.

The Cost - This is the lowest price you'll pay for a full-size, all-inclusive drum set. This set even includes a pair of drumsticks!
Sturdy Hardware - This kit comes with durable and sturdy hardware. The stands are double braced for stability but lightweight for ease of transport. The bass drum pedal has a chain drive between the foot board and the beater which has quicker response than a leather strap.
Drumheads - To keep costs from getting too high, low quality drumheads are used on the Gammon drum set. These heads will not last long and will not sound as good as name-brand heads, such as, Remo. The good news is that you can buy replacement heads when necessary.
Cymbals - Another cost cutting measure is to provide undersized cymbals. Hi-hat cymbals are usually 14" and crash cymbals start at 16". Also, most drum sets have at least one "ride" cymbal.
This drum set is great for a beginner or a drummer on a budget. Gammon uses quality materials making the set well worth the price. This kit is professional sounding and looks great. It could be the last set you buy, regardless of your playing level!
