I played the hart kit for a few days got it kinda dialed in and adjusted to my liking. It is a very sweet kit plays more like an acoustic kit than any of the roland kits i've had. The drums are heavier "weight" the snare drum is a 13" vs a 12" on the TD 10 and 20 kits. The rack is made of steel and all the mounts are made of steel...the roland rack is aluminum and the mounts are plastic :doh:
The hart crash cymbals are some kinda plastic and the HH and ride are some kinda metal. The rolands are rubber or plastic. I like the metal ride better but all the harts do make a thud when struck. I like the roland CY 14 and CY 15 cymbals also the rubber is the quietest. :icon_cool:

John, does that mean the cymbals (the thud)would be noisey if play in a quiet situation?

No not really; at a moderate volume you would not hear it. I am just use to the rubber roland cymbals plus the HH and ride have a foam pad on part of the cymbal so you can play on it and it is even quieter.

Excellent review, John! Keep us posted! :drumset-3:
