Advantages: hard working, cheap

Disadvantages: none

I bought a REMO Encore 5 piece powerkit 10 years ago for £500 new.

The best thing about the drums has been their durability. I have gigged this kit on a regular basis and have only had to replace one bracket ever. Whilst being a very heavy piece of kit, the strange "acousticon" shells made of reconstituted woods are sturdy despite some early worries in the press about their strength.

The sound quality is punchy and the drums sound very good with single coated heads and some slight damping. They are very loud.


The one problem is that with the unique "powersnap" lugs (that enable drumheads to be changed without removing the tension screws)In the studio if one drumhead is removed (especially bass drum), there can be big problems with parts rattling.

I would recommend both this drum kit and similar ones made by REMO today especially as a second hand purchase.
