4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent overall quality, one minor complaint, December 26, 2008

When my oldest son was 5 (14 years ago) I purchased a drum set for him from a music store. I paid about $100 back then and it fell apart within a week. I was very disappointed with the quality and sound of that kit. Now that I wanted to buy a set for my 4 year old, I was very careful in selecting a "real" drum set that he can enjoy for years and grow into. The GP50 is definitely it!
This is the real deal and not a toy. Sound is excellent and the build quality is great. At under $150, this set is a bargain. Some have mentioned it is time consuming to build, but I found it rather easy and had it together in no time.
My only complaint is the bass pedal squeak. It was so bad it, it was almost louder than the drums. I had to add a washer between where the bolt and the bracket meet and do a little tweaking by loosening and tightening the nuts until the squeak stopped. The pedal was already pre assembled, but I feel they should have added a bushing to prevent the squeak.
I am still very happy with this set (and so is my 4 year old). Perhaps the pedal problem was just with the one I received. It may or may not always be a problem, but it is easy to fix.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grandson's first drum set, December 9, 2007

The GP50BL is a perfect first set for a youngster. Fit and finish are outstanding, for the price. I expected less and got more!I'm also a musician, but not a drummer, so I know "just enough". My young Grandson will have a wonderful Christmas! Although the set is as I've said, the instructions for set up would be better done by a natural English speaker. A very helpful web-site with instruction for set up was provided by my supplier. I recomend it and the supplier. If my Grandson progresses on the drums, I'll certainly return to this supplier for a larger drum set.
