Darth Vater's dream kit...
If I die, get to the afterlife and I'm issued one of these, I'll know I didn't go to heaven. I mean c'mon there's only 6 lugs on that fakey bass drum!

That is a killer kit right there, especially for that price.Darth Vater's dream kit...
They have one advantage. The hardware.They are worth it if you need one, and the space available requires one. Most are as the same quality as other kits of that brand.
16x12.Not sure what this is, might be a 14". Diameter, not depth.
Get rid of that riser.Especially with the extra Gibraltar riser attached.
I did more than that - I got rid of the bop kit. No more 18” bass drums. Never again.Get rid of that riser.
The drummer is doing nice things but that floor tomThis bop kit sounds great and is played very well:
"You could cut a notch in the bass hoop"???You could cut a notch in the bass hoop, or buy a bass pedal that won't hit the rim (specifically the Tama Speed Cobra.) The Speed Cobra's plate is recessed toward the player by about 3/4" and won't hit the rim.
Simply moving the pedal away from the rim is not the best solution. The problem is, it messes up the balance and timing of the beater. The beater will hit later, and at a downward angle, making it feel weird because the pedal has to be depressed further into the floor.

Interesting thought....jam kits are used in bop and vice versa and have been for a while. But is a jam kit a bop kit? IDK ♂This bop kit sounds great and is played very well:
