I picked up my set of Peavy pro 2 at a garage sale for $25.00 All We do is garage rock jams. I had a kit before but my stupid ex sold them and I missed drumming so I couldn't pass. I;m investing in some cymbals since the price was right and I'm really used to having more crash around me. The hihat will become a secondary since the pack I get will have new. I hate the tom mount setup but finally came up with a comfort level on it. The snare is a little funny, it doesn;t exactly have the pop I like, taking it in today to have it looked over and it might be getting replaces with a Ludwig. I've been on several kits and for the price I can't complain terribly bad. I think I'll keep it until I fall into another deal. Everyone I know is freaked by the sound... "Didn't even know Peavy made drums, they sound pretty good" is what I keep getting. Tune em up and if there's a problem with it maybe try the light locktite to keep screws from backing out.

It does have a good bass pedal but I stuck in a Tama double. Hihat came undone once but it was my daughter playing with it as cause. Uniquie thing is the two posts for tom mount. REALLY prefer a single to keep them closer together. |

If you bash these for sound, change heads, locktite if need and try it again. |

I think IF I ever traveled to gig out I would get another set of something different and leave these set up where they are and just carry the new Ziljians out. |

Only reason for me to spend more on a different set would be.... Um I'm just in this for fun, I'm no pro. If I was I would want what Neil Peart uses. Hey I paid tewnty-five dollars! You would too if you found them. |

I bought the Peavey International Series II at a Kepharts music store in Decorah, Iowa in 2002 for $300. I bought this drumset because it was cheap and we needed a quick drum kit to play for our church. I also had never played a drumset in my life.

After about 4 years of playing, I have established this. The peav. set is not a good quality set. Its strong point is, it can take a beating. Its weak points are, the toms have a twangy sound, even with studio rings on the heads. The bass drum has that twangy sound as well, even with pillows in it. The solution, better heads. The snare takes a lot of tuning to get the sound that you want and after it is tuned, it will be out of tune in a few days. The cymbals it came with are easily bent and I would recommend getting better ones. T:he hi-hat stand stand has given me some problems. The chain that connects to the rod that opens the hi-hats disconnects every once in a while rendering the hi-hats useless. |

I cant get the drums to stay tuned for long. Compared to the Tama Rockstar I have at my home, it gets its butt kicked. The hardware is like tothpicks compared to the Tama. |

The bass drum pedal is actually not bad compared to some that I have played. It has a quick response and I can get some pretty fast almost double bass sounding effects to it. But when I hit the drums after a few weeks after about a week after tuning, they have a resonance that sounds the snare.

I never know when the hi-hat stand will disconnect, and it needs to be tuned frequently. I would not fecommend this set for a live gig. |

I would only recommend this set to a person who would like to pick up the drums. I would not recommend it to a drummer who is looking for a home set, considering the drummer has a quality set to use in gigs and studio.
All in all, a poor quality set. Buy a Tama. |

I didnnullt purchase this set, my friend did but, I play it just as much as he does because Inullm always over his house. We bought it from an in-town instrument dealer named "Marynulls Music". The set costs $350 and it was bought like Oct. 2003

The set comes with two toms, a floor tom, bass drum, 14" hi hat, a 18" crash, and a bass pedal. |

It is a beginnernulls set so I wouldnnullt expect OC percussion quality, but it can be tuned to sound much better than it comes originally. |

In the area of sound it doesnnullt measure up to a professional set, but that can be somewhat fixed. I would recommend buying a set of heads for the snare and toms because these sound kind of flat when struck. The crash and bass sound pretty good but the hi hat leaves some to be desired. This set generates a lot of noise, but its not sharp noise its a resonanting flat sound. |

The set is pretty durable, but itnullll need occasional adjusting. We havennullt played any live gigs yet, and honestly I wouldnnullt play one with the basic set. |

This set I would recommend for beginners who are still finding their way in drumming. I have found this set to be easy to play for me, but those who know the drums wouldnnullt want to purchase this set. |
