Alpha Overview More than an inexpensive beginner drum set for aspiring artists. In fact since we introduced Alpha many drummers have put this kit in use as a secondary gig kit for smaller stages. We use Birch/ Poplar shells for superior sonic performance when compared to kits in this price range. We have also beefed up the tom holder, tom brackets, snare throw off and spurs for enhanced durability. It comes with drums, hardware, cymbals, ported resonant bass drum head and six pairs of sticks with a stickbag… everything needed to set up and play! There are three different finishes available: Midnight Blue, Black, and Wine Red. Stick Bag with Sticks We've made it easy by including a genuine Crush stick bag complete with six pairs of sticks. Ported Bass Drum Put the sharp knifes away Crush has cut the bass drum port hole for you. Allowing for effortless microphone placement and the addition of sound dampening material without removing the drum head. Real Rubber Feet Reel Rubber Feet help grip the ground rather than slide like similarly priced instruments with plastic feet.
