The first thing you'll notice with these Pearl Student Snare Drum kits is that they are not covered by the same warranty Pearl places on its regular drums and hardware. Instead of a lifetime warranty on the drum shell and three years on the snare drum stand, this product only offers one year on manufacturing defects (See their Educational Product Warranty disclaimer). Upon further inspection of the product, you realize why. The snare drum and case are made in Taiwan. The padding on the case is very thin and would not protect the drum if it is dropped from more than 6 inches from the ground. The snare drum itself is also very flimsy. What's even worse is that the "Pearl" name badge is nothing more than a sticker, and so is the serial number on the shell. The concert height snare stand is probably the best part of this product, however the plastic "wing nut" for the snare basket adjustment is very flimsy and will probably crack after a year or two. To be honest, I was shocked with the poor quality, especially since this is a name brand company. All I can guess is that Pearl, like Yamaha and the resurrected "Ludwig" brand name, on their student snare drum kits, has done nothing more than licensed their name to a lower grade manufacturer. The final "nail in the coffin" for this product was how it was shipped. Instead of being boxed independently (like most drum kits), everything was packed in the backpack, which is then sealed in a plastic bag. The first arrived with a torn backback, and now the second arrived with the snare drum's rim bent. The seller has been good with handling the returns, but the delay has been horrible. Hopefully the third time is the charm. Pearl definitely needs to find a better supplier for these educational kits, inspect them before they ship to the retailers, and package them better for transport.

Bought this for our son who plays in the school band. He hardly ever uses it since he already has a drum kit. He generally just takes it out when he has a competition for school and it works just fine for that.
