Summary: Only good things to say!
Comment: So the shipping took about a week and I was provided a tracking number. I got them together the day they came. If you are new to drums remember there are no instructions with this set so find someone who plays or find some sort of manual.
The drums are great. They have that beautiful Ludwig sound we all know and love. The set includes the following (if you bought the set with the comment saying"5pc. with cymbals"): 2 mounted toms, 1 floor tom, 1 snare drum, on bass drum, crash cymbal (sounds like a gong haha), hi-hat cymbal, a pair of sticks, and a throne. It also includes all hardware including pedals for the hi-hat and bass drum. The only problem with this set is the cymbals. They sound really odd and the hi-hat is really small. I would recommend buying different cymbals. If you are looking for a cheap and decent cymbal I would look at Zildjian's "Planet Z" cymbals which last awhile and sound good. I also recommend loosening the snare drum because it's a bit too rattle-y when it arrives.
RECOMMENDED FOR BEGINNERS AND INTERMEDIATES!! GREAT SET AND WILL LAST!

Summary: Great Set
Comment: I am in 2 bands, a metal band and a punk band, and they both love my set. I have been playing drums 4 years before buying this set, rendering it a great kit for beginners, intermediates, and even the better drummers who cant afford much. My favorite part about the set is the ability to add to it. I have bought a 8x10 and a 10x10 add-on drum kit for the set and I bought an extra bass drum. For drummers who really want a big, expanded set for cheap prices, get this. The quality is THE best i have seen on a drumset of this price. My friend came over when I got it andthought that it was a maple set (for those who dont know, maple is the best quality wood you can get for drums)! If you're on a budget but want GREAT quality, BUY THIS DRUMSET.

Summary: Excellent value with professional sound
Comment: This is a solid kit that will serve the beginning-to-intermediate drummer well. The hardware is solid and stable, and the tonal quality of each drum is excellent with minimal ringing. The two critical hardware features - hi-hat stand and bass pedal - are sufficient for beginning and intermediate drummers, but are a bit unresponsive for pros. To complete this kit I recommend getting good cymbals. Any of the following cymbal packs will give this kit all of the cymbal power most drummers will need at the same value point as the drum kit itself: Sabian B8 Performance Set With Bag (ASIN B0002L54TE), Paiste 302 Plus Standard Cymbal Set (ASIN B0002D0NU2), or the Zildjian ZBT Series Basic Set Up 4 Pack (ASIN B0002CZXXA).
The best kept secret, though, is how easy it is to upgrade this kit to a professional quality kit that even a seasoned drummer will appreciate. Just replace the heads, which are OK for less experienced drummers, but too thin and unresponsive for professionals, with the Remo Emperor Standard ProPack (ASIN B0002F514I) and Remo Weatherking bass head (ASIN B0002E57G6), carefully tune them, and you will have a kit that sounds and plays like a high-end Ludwig kit. I also recommend that any experienced drummer select the hi-hat stand and bass pedal of their choice to bring this kit to professional standards. I use the Pearl H70W hi hat stand and P70 bass drum pedal from my Pearl Rhythm Traveler kit (ASIN B0002FO4R8).
Once this kit has been upgraded as described above you will have a great five-piece drum kit that should meet your every need, and at an incredible price. While I prefer the smaller Pearl Rhythm Traveler, there are times when a full-size kit is best and this one allowed me to economically acquire a pro grade kit with minor modifications to the kit and minimum additional investment.
If you are a beginner this is an outstanding kit with which to learn. The Ludwig quality is apparent, and the sound is great. You will also find a lot of flexibility in setting up your drums to meet just about any need. I appreciate the tom tom brackets that allowed me to get my toms exactly where I wanted them and at the optimum angle - this is not always easy with some kits.
If you are a pro and are considering a higher-end kit, take the time to look at this one and consider the cost of upgrading the heads to whichever brand you prefer, as well as upgrading the hi-hat stand and bass pedal (or using your favorites from another kit). You could save a bundle.
