Hi everyone!
What are your thoughts and opinions on the Ludwig Element Marble Birch 5pc kit? I recently purchased one for £450 from a website that was having a closing down sale, but what with this being the first kit I ever bought I'm embarrassed to admit I didn't really research the kit before I purchased it as I didn't have enough time before the website closed?
I purchased it in Sunburst, which I think looks really great! Here's a pick I found online of the kit:

What I would like to know is, is it a good kit for the price? With my own untrained eye it looks like a quality kit, with a very nicely finished paint job, good quality lugs and fittings, and all around it just looks great! But is it actually of a decent quality?
I've just invested in a complete set of new heads for it as the stock ones sound atrocious, and that's not just my own inexperience with tuning talking, I had a friend of a friend come round who tunes drums almost every week and he couldn't get it sounding much better! XD I want to make sure that my money was not ill spent, as I'm sure you can understand? =)
Anyway, any opinions or advice is greatly appreciated!
