Well I just got the kit (well half of it) today. Unfortunately ups only delivered two of the four boxes so i only have the kick, snare, and 1 rack and 1 floor tom.

First Impressions -
it was nice to see they came with nice coated heads, im a clear guy but still the heads were nice. what wasnt nice was the tuning that Ddrum did. i went around em with my drum dial and every lug had a different tension, made em sound like crap. also the bass head says "snare head" and the inner ring on it is falling off. Once i put my aquarians on it tonight ill post some more impressions
 
Woo-Hoo, I love it when people get New Drums & gadgets..lol

Can't wait to see pics & a sound report
 
ok here are the pix, the ups couldnt get my packages with my extra floor and rack tom to me until monday but i think i may keep the four piece setup. I also decided to keep the dios snare instead of the joey jordison snare cuz the dios snare is amazing especially when tuned really high like i have it. Ill get some extra pics tomorrow when i get my paragon china and other z crash (and maybe my demon drives)

Nice kit Man. I really like the colour and the grain ; nice. I think your crash cymbal has seen better days. Be careful the tom angle police might be up set with your racktom angle. I reckon the more angle the better. Rock On Dude.
 
Very nice kit, Scoreking !! I am alot more impressed by these than some of their other models.
