I am only a scholar, but something is evident even for me after a few months of playing. The distinctive features of this setup, in addition to its price and weight, is standalone bass drum. It is extremely important if you want to play double pedal from the beginning,and you will be unable to find a cheaper version of such a kit here. The price really matters, and some of my friends, bought this setup as a cheap rack of training rubber pads-that's great as you get much more. The weight is very low, and this makes your setup very portable, that is great. Its processor is good, with a lot of instruments, and it is a fully featured MIDI instrument with some good presets for training. I could not find evident flaws at my level. However, its nearest competitor by price and quality may have much better snare for a similar price. So, this setup could be recommended if you really care for playing bass drum (and especially, if you buy a double pedal immediately), and if you use it as a second setup. But the feeling of snare may be a bit misleading, the recoil is smaller. The sound is in general good, especially considering the size of pads. So, while it is definitely value for money and has no obvious quality issues, it can be a semi-professional setup, but maybe you would like to spend some more and buy slightly more advanced model. Personally I plan to add a separate snare pad to it later, but for now, the setup is very good for training. Nevertheless, in terms of options and playability, it is a very good kit that will be a much better start than any of its cheaper competitors.
