I have been reading some good reviews of this kit but haven't got the chance to try one out yet. Can anyone advise me about the weight of these drums? I read in the MD review (03/07) that the 16" floor tom weighs over 16lbs :-O. Are they of the hernia-inducing variety when lugging to gigs?

NEW CLASSIC'S are not that heavy really, or are they??


Any drums w/die cast hoops/claws and solid brass lugs are going to have some weight.


All drums weighed in PROTECTION RACKET bags and the bags are all one size over.


12x9 10.99 lbs

14x14 17.27 lbs

22x18 over 30 lbs (my scale only goes to 30 lbs)
