I have played my Accent CS for about 4 years now. Did a few upgrades such as heads, added wood rims on the base and ditched the kik pedal for a vintage Speed King. Dollar for dollar, I would put it up against many of the kits that are considered better and more expensive. In fact, the guys I play with say it is one of the better sounding sets they have heard.
As with many kits, it's all about how it's tuned and played. I used to worry about what people think about having an "Accent" drumset. I got over that pretty quick. Play what ya got,and have fun doing it. Thats the secret of having a great drum set, in my mind, at least.
As far as the hardware that came with the kit, it is far superior to anything that I had available to me back in the 60's and 70's, so I am extremely pleased with it.
