 Durable, good sounding drumset for beginning/intermediateJul 02, 2009
By Mike R. Benton
Percussion Plus is not a name that immediately conjures up images of professional quality music gear, however, I believe drummers would be pleasantly surprised at what they are getting out of this set for the money.
In this day of mass produced instruments where one factory can make parts for 2-3 or different companies, much of the hardware and production of Percussion Plus drum sets is strikingly similar to other beginning student line drum kits out there today. The shells, tom posts, bass drum spurs, shell covering, etc. etc. are very parallel to most of the other starter drumsets.
As a drummer and teacher I wasn't too excited to hear about these sets coming into the local music store. Now having seen them and having tuned a few, I feel that they're going to hold up well to the needs of beginning and intermediate drummers who are playing in school band, their parent's garage, and even getting into a few shows(cymbals excluded).
I'm still not too excited about the generic looking logo on the front bass drum head or the cheapo look of the snare shell, but the major issues of decent bearing edges, shells in-the-round, decent tuning range, hardware that works, and other issues have been solid up to the time of this writing.
One area I definitely feel could use some improvement is the pedals (both hi-hat and bass). They're functional and will work for a beginner, but they will be way lightweight for a drummer who progresses into jazz, and especially into advanced rock with double sixteenths etc. Some players would buy new gear like a hi-hat or double bass pedal (or a new set!) at this point in their progress, so maybe it isn't that big of a concern for someone just starting out. Also, the cymbals are lightweight and basically like playing on......well, they're not very inspiring to hit or to look at - but this is the same situation with most all student line drum kits (unless you're paying for a cymbal upgrade-Planet Z, B8, ZBT and so on).
If you are looking for a solid kit with hardware that won't fall apart and drums that should last the duration of a beginning/intermediate drummer, this kit would have my approval as equivalent to the sound and durability of other entry-level drumsets in its price range.

 Adequate set of drums...May 23, 2009
By John C. Bendheim
The drums came withing 48 hours of placing the order on Amazon. A pair of professional musicians that we are friends with assembled these drums in a few minutes. They tell me that the drums are good. I know nothing to speak of about drums. They sound great and my son loves them.

Definitely not bad!Jan 04, 2010
By Gordo
Ok, so I kinda figured out the wife was going to buy me a drum set for Christmas. I was not thrilled about someone who knows very little about instruments and nothing about drums, buying a kit for me. I opened the box on Christmas and this was what was inside. The name made me cringe, mostly because it wasn't Tama, Yamaha, Gretch or anything else I could think of. Now, I've never really played drums before, but I'm a semi professional bass player so I do know what drums should sound like, and I know what I want in an instrument. For the price, These things can't be beat. Cymbals need immediate replacement, no question. The hi hat stand is kinda junk. It's just really light and flimsy, but it works for now. The shells are really nice though, and sound pretty good. Way better than I was expecting. Even the throne isn't bad, and I'm a 350 pound adult male. I'll probably replace the heads, which most people would do on any drum kit they bought. I'll need to upgrade the kick pedal and hi hat stand eventually but for now, this is a decent sounding kit that I can beat on without fear. This would be fine for kids that are serious about music, but it's not kiddie stuff. I'm really happy with it.

I just started playing this year and I love this set. The bass sounds better with a pillow in it and the cymbals are terrible but you get what you pay for.
