Product Description

The LP Music Collection Santana Series represents a collaboration between Carlos Santana and LP - two pioneers who've been making music history for more than 30 years. In 1968, soon after LP began designing quality percussion gear, Carlos Santana skillfully blended sensuous Afro-Cuban rhythms, blues elements, and his own fiery rock guitar, into a magical new sound that electrified fans all over the globe. It was "world music" long before the phrase was coined, and it helped bring traditional Latin percussion instruments into the global spotlight. In his long quest for personal spirituality, Santana has consistently found music to be a life-affirming celebration of the human spirit. He encourages you, too, to "Let The Music Set You Free."? The LP Music Collection Santana Mini Tunable Bongo is made from kiln-dried, environmentally friendly Siam Oak, and is fitted with chrome plated hardware. Natural rawhide heads provide a soft touch while delivering quality sound. LP's patented Comfort Curve? II Rims offer comfortable playing, and the drum's small size and easy tuning make it handy for musicians and non-musicians alike. A tuning wrench and instruction sheet are included. The rich, rainbow-colored artwork that adorns the bongo (from Santana's "Sacred Fire" album) reflects Carlos Santana's hopes for peace, compassion, and universal brotherhood. The "Let the Music Set You Free" quote represents Carlos Santana's philosophy that music is the life affirming celeb... ... Read more

Good Drum Set for Display/Prop Purposes ONLY.
I received this drum set, brand new in its box,on 4/8/05 .The metal pieces for the set were oxidized and rusted.Two screws were missing.One adjusting bolt for the floor tom fell off immediately.The cymbals that come with this drum set are worse than trash can lids.The drum heads are all single ply and produce horrible sound.The outer rim of the bass drum has a defect which leaves any replacing head (I've tried three) with a crease no matter how the head is tightened.The set is made in China and is shipped in a box with the drum heads on the bottom and the set on top of them.The pedals for the hi-hat and the bass drum leave much to be desired.If I had prior knowledge of the condition of this brand of set, I would have undoubtedly chosen another.I find this particular set to be sub-par in all aspects.

Excellent Value
The Upbeat MX500 set is an excellent set of drums for the price. They're perfect for the beginner, casual drummer or suitable, in my opinion, to play gigs. The sound of the drums are deep and resonant and the hardware seems to be well engineered. Plus, if you're in need of everything....cymbals, throne, sticks, and drum key.....it's all in one package. The only changes I'm making are add a Zildjian 20" ride, modify the existing cymbal into a sizzle crash and add a cowbell. I rate the drums excellent for the money and rate Vintage Drum Company 100% for their friendly, efficient business practices. ... Read more

The junior kit I recommend
I'm frequently asked to recommend a good beginner's drum kit, and this is the one I recommend for youngsters in the 3-10 year range.My reasons are:

- this kit is constructed to be a serious instrument, unlike the toy quality of most junior kits.It sounds like a real drum kit, and it plays like one, albeit a scaled down one.

- the hardware, including the ever important bass drum and high-hat pedals, is solid.Believe me, nothing is more frustrating to any drummer, young or old, than pedals that stick or bind.The ones that come with this kit work well and will withstand a lot of abuse.

- sound quality of each of the drums is impressive. These drums sound like their larger counterparts, so the young drummer can easily develop his or her own sound on this kit, and retain it when they outgrow it and move to a bigger kit.

The only thing wrong with this kit - and it is universal among all junior kits - is the poor quality cymbals.To Verve's credit they did make sure that the cymbal sizes where proporational to the drums.

This kit is also available in red (ASIN B0002JFXOW) and black (ASIN B0002JFXNI).

I strongly recommend getting a copy of "Getting Started on Drums Featuring Tommy Igoe" (ASIN B00005UV69) to go with this (or any other) kit. It will show the yound drummer how to set up and configure their kit, as well as some important basics and a few easy grooves they can start with. ... Read more

Good sounding drum machine.
I bought the DD-35 machine last year, It has a great digital drum sound..I play it through my head phones along with my cd player.BUT!...be warned..This machine startes to short out after about six weeks of steady playing!..I returned it to the music store for another, several weeks later the same thing. Then I ordered one from amazon,I discovered the only way to over-come this problem was to remove the rubber drum pads and place them on a SEPARATE playing platform...that way the electronics don't take a banging and short out..I had to lenthen the wires from the drum machine to another playing board. but now it should last many years this way...Yamaha should design this machine with a separate playing surface.But all and all..a good sounding drum machine.So with all that being said..it really deserves only a couple stars.

Nice gift for a budding musician
I bought this for my 18 year old brother who is learning to play the guitar, and I've gotten nothing but positive feedback from home where he and my other younger siblings have been having a good time learning to play the drums.

I took 1 star away because I was hoping it could be used as a drum machine, but apparently it stores less than a minute of performance, making it inappropriate for a single person to play both the drums and guitar, and it has limited drum machine functionality. Still, it has a high fun to price ratio, and I was glad to give such a well appreciated gift.

Great for the Fidgety Teen!

If it's all you can afford...
These are not the greastest sounding cymbals in the world, but for the price you're probably not going to find another pair of 14" hats new. If you live in or near a big city you could probably find a decent set of used Ziildjians or Sabians or other quality cymbals for not too much more, but the beginner starting out in a rural area much have more of a problem.

These cymbals are supplied (along with a 16" crash) with Pearl's Rhythm Traveler set, and a lot of drummers- like me- sell these off cheap and replace them with better cymbals. If you'e really poverty stricken, you may just be able to pick up a set of these really cheaply. ... Read more

Amazing sound and quality - some issues
If you are looking for a second kit for small gigs, or a first drum kit give this one serious consideration.

Sound: even with stock heads each drum has the perfect balance of warmth, projection and tone.I always replace stock heads on new drum kits, but after a first tuning I discovered that the bass drum and snare drum heads that came with the set were more than adequate. I did replace the batter-side heads on the two toms with medium weight Remo FiberSkyn heads (ASIN B0002F7J52 for the 10" mounted tom and ASIN B0002F7J5W for the suspended 13" tom). My motivation for replacing those two heads was to get a warmer, more subdued sound for jazz. The stock heads on the toms are more than sufficient for rock and project a lot of sound if that is the style of music you play.

Construction: the quality of the drums and hardware is amazing.This kit is noticably superior in every way to my Tama Stagestar kit, and considering that Tama is one of the top brands that is saying a lot.The shells are maple lined and have heavy duty hardware.The snare drum is one of the highest-quality snares I have had the pleasure of playing in quite some time.It tunes perfectly, has a 20-strand snare, and projects a bigger sound than any 12" snare drum I've ever played - it can hold its own with many 14" snare drums.

It comes with a cymbal stand that is better than the one that came with my Tama, and the bass pedal and hi-hat work smoothly.The bass pedal in particular has features I appreciate, such as the ability to make all adjustments with a drum key instead of requiring a hex wrench for adjusting cams.This pedal - a single chain drive type - also comes with a full bottom floorplate and a dual sided beater, which are features that "cheap" kits do not have.

The snare drum stand, like the cymbal stand and hi-hat, is double-braced and as good as anything made by Tama or Pearl.Moreover, this kit comes with memory locks for the tom holders, cymbal and hi-hat stands, and the snare stand.Those are nice touches that one usually only finds in high-end kits.

One final thing to love is the finish, which is beatuifully done in a natural wood decor that adds visual beauty to this kit.


The following are some issues I have with the kit: the 16x16 bass drum is difficult to tune.This drum is a floor tom tom that has been converted into a bass drum by adding spurs, a riser and tom holder.There is nothing inherently wrong with the drum itself, but any square bass drum (same depth and diameter) will present tuning challenges.I would have preferred a 14" deep x 16" diameter size.

The suspended floor tom is not a feature I like. I would have preferred legs, which would have given me more flexibility in where and how I placed it.

Despite the issues this kit is professional quality in every respect and makes a great second kit for acoustic of jazz gigs and small venues, or a perfect first kit for drummers of all age and experience ranges. ... Read more
