Good Beginner/Intermediate Kit
My first acoustic drum kit, bought as a young teen and lasted me well into 20s. A solid kit for any beginner/intermediate drummer, can be packed down easily enough and will often come as part of a full kit bundle, including hardware and some starter cymbals.
Wouldn't recommend as a professional level kit, as tuning can often sway after extended playing.
