Acclaim Review: 5 Piece Drum Set

History:

Purchase: I bought it off a website online...paid 250$ for it...should have known better than to do that though

What I Like About This Acclaim 5 Piece Drum Set: What I like....ha...um...I did like the sound that the drumset had, the bass pedal was decent also...and the video that came with it was so stupid I cracked up laughing for hours (Drumming with Dave "Bedrock" Bedrosian)

What I Do NOT Like About The Acclaim 5 Piece Drum Set: ok...long list here: number one...ALL THE HARDWARE SUCKS NUTS!!! Within 2 months i gurantee you most of the wingnuts will have stripped and you will have to rethread them, 2:ANNOYING SNARE DRUMS the snare drum on this set took me about 2 weeks just to make it sound like an actual snare drum...NOT fun

Acclaim 5 Piece Drum Set Quality Rating: constuction...definitely towards the weak side...everything lieks to come apart and break...A CB set would be better than this...about the same price to...if you look hard enough. Also...do NOT play these drums outside on a hot day....the plastic shell on the outside of the wood melts =/

Review Summary: This company is trying to sell you a Ludwig Accent with different name tags and hardware...DONT BUY IT...go with Ludwig, CB, or if you have the money, TAMA for your first drumset....stay away from unknown companies!!!
