I bought this set back in 2019 along with a Pearl Midtown set for cosy, pop-rock pub gigs. I was initially torn between this and the Yamaha Crosstown set, but ultimately went for this because of footprint and looks. It has served me reliably as my singular hardware set all this time, even now that I've since bought a larger kit, and play much more frequently.
The cymbal stands are much more sturdy than they look, and never need aggressive tightening to stay put. They have wobbled a handful of times in 5 years as I do position my cymbals quite high, but they have never fallen over. I would recommend buying some proper cymbal sleeves (black plastic universal ones) to replace the stock ones, which are just thin plastic tubes and metal plates that don't really work properly. Luckily, those replacement sleeves come in packs of four and, if you're like me, you probably wanted some spares anyway :)
The snare stand is absolutely flawless, if your snare is within common sizes (13" and 14" snares have fit perfectly for me), you'll have zero issue, don't let the vintage basket design put you off.
The hi-hat stand is probably the weakest piece of the set. The pedal doesn't lock or otherwise secure itself when deployed, so there's a small chance the stand could fall in on you if you're playing on an incline. This did happen to me once, but only under extreme circumstances (I was playing in the back of a lorry, very uneven floor).
Set-up and teardown is an absolute breeze, everything folds down to a very manageable size in a jiffy and the memory locks on the snare and hi-hat makes setup foolproof.
The bag is also much more spacious and reliable than it looks. The zip hasn't broken at all, and I can store almost every piece of hardware, including 2 rack tom arms, floor tom legs, throne legs and an extra cymbal mount for an 8" splash, as long as a little thought is put into fitting everything in snugly. It's worth buying the set for the bag alone, it's a million times better than those 5 foot long cases with wheels, I can carry this one quite easily from the car with one hand, and it should fit on a smaller hand-cart with no problem.
In conclusion, this is a fantastic set if weight and convenience are your top priority. Stability can be a factor on rare occasions, and the stock cymbal sleeves are a little crap, but I have zero regrets on buying and don't intend to sell anytime soon.
TL;DR: Extremely lightweight and convenient. Consider stability requirements and replace cymbal sleeves ASAP.
