So I was in the market for a new kit in the $1000 range. I wasn't to familiar with OCDPs mass produced kits so I did some research and found a even mix of positive and negative reviews (on a side note I didn't realize there are so many TB haters lol). This left me bewildered so I went to my local store and took it for a test drive. I played a Newport kit that was setup for their drumming competition. I was pleased with what I saw and heard. NA rock maple shells sound warm and open. The lacquer glass glitter finish is flawless and deep looking including bass drum hoops.The hardware is big and burly and has nice quality "feel". l enjoy some of the details like memory locks for floor tom legs and the offset lugs. The only thing I'm on the fence about is the satin finish. I agree It's a nice contrast to the shiny glitter finish. I'm just not sure how it will hold up over time.
