This 5 piece kit with hardware is a great starter kit for anyone who's just starting out and doesn't have a butt load of cash to buy a new kit. This kit could also be a great addition to your current kit. I at one point used the floor tom for an extra floor tom expanding my current set up. It worked out great. I am including the new remo head that I put on it. I have purchased a new kit and it does not have an 18" floor tom so there's no reason to change it back, might as well let someone else break it in, lol. I only used it a few times.
This kit comes with a 12" tom, 13" tom, 18" floor tom, 22" kick, and a 14" snare all Tama Swingstar.
The kit does show some wear and tare, and has been use, however it still has a great over all sound. If someone wanted to take the time and money to put new shell covers on you would have yourself one hell of a sweet kit for way less than buying new. I just don't want to invest the time and money myself. Honestly, I'm not sure if I have the finesse to cut and recover an entire drum kit and do a good enough job.
Most of the shell covers on this kit are in fair shape with their share of scratches, but not too bad. A little TLC and some cleaner and they would have a decent look to them again, not new, but decent, and I just found a 6-8 inch cut in the kit shell cover that is on the side towards the bottom. Not sure how long it's been there, that's how unnoticable it is
