I see these alot on CL, entry level starter kits with added toms and tons of entry level cymbals at prices higher than good quality used pro kits. Sound percussion, GP, even some first acts at prices higher than new because they added a few PST or Planet z cymbals and an orphaned tom here or there.

I worked for Sam Ash for 5 years as drum department manager right about the time groove percussion came about. it was right after 9/11, in a panic, ash decided to stop focusing on selling pro quality stuff and went the cheap taiwan import route for higher profit margin. ruined their credit and business in my opinion.

ANYWHO...

groove percussion is exclusive to sam ash, as in they wholesaled the cheapest hunks of sh** they could find and branded them Groove Percussion.

Selling these kits complete w/ hardware n cymbals for $269 and making almost $40 commission per set will give u a good idea of the 'quality'.

As these sets were mainly selling to child beginner drummers, the parents would always ask "how do we set this thing up?" I would then offer a set up fee for $50, ill come to your house, set it up, tune it and your ready to go.

I must have set up 1,000 (seriously) drum kits in my life, high end, mid, low end... and this was by the far the biggest pain in the taint i've ever had.

all pieces came in one enormous box which was made of cheap flimsy cardboard. it wasnt even a question if things were broken, 7 out of 10 boxes always had a problem. then u open it, no heads on any drums, all t rods/hoops/spurs were shrink wrapped together (PAIN), the heads were just laughable, the cymbals were completely ridiculous. tap the hihat and it dents.

they would take atleast 45 minutes to an hour to set up. sounds ok but i did this for a living, it took 3 times as long as any other kit.

classic, lovely setup problems such as t-rods stripping out the lug nut then locking up. NO snare bed. you cant tune these drums, close to impossible to get them to sound 'good'.

when parts would break, usually within the first month, ud get calls for replacement pieces that didnt exist, no warranty either. "hey my wingnut snapped off on my throne" or "hey my snare stand SNAPPED IN HALF!" or "my hihat stand pull rod..." you get the idea. fun stuff!

this whole kit is an abomination of failures and profit margin, a catch 22 for it's salesmen! hope you enjoyed this bitter piece of history
