Startone Star Drum Set Standard -BK Reviews

Top for this price. Everything but throne

Weakest part for me is the throne. I don't think it's stable enough but at least it holds altitude reliably, even better than some mid-priced models.

To be honest it is really worth it for the price.

Awesome quality to the price ratio.

I was a little bit skeptical about 300$ entire drumset , even with a throne, that would not fall apart after assembling it AND i was wrong!

Drums and hardware were really simple to assemble, manual wasn't really required. Everything is steady and solid.

-- I advise to tighten every nut and screw (factory screwed in) while assembling, because they might be loose.

Tuning of drums is really easy, and you can tune them pretty low.

KICK - sounds perfect with 58Hz batter and 49Hz Reso

FLOOR TOM - isn't really good, couldn't make it sound awesome in any tuning, but it's actually livable. Batter head sound a little bit too plastic.

RACK TOMS - 12" tom sounds really awesome in my current tuning

(104Hz Batter; 208Hz Reso) and i don't really use or need 10" tom.

SNARE - snare is nice and loud, tunes easily, and works well with low and medium tunings. High tunes lack a bit of resonance.

-- Overtones on snare are very strong so dampening is really needed!

CYMBALS - i didn't expect anything from cheap hi-hats and 15" crash/ride, and that was good decision. Crash is pretty bad, lot of overtones and very dirty sound, almost unusable as a ride, tho hi-hats are quite good, closed and slushy sound is okay but open hats aren't really good.

HARDWARE - hardware is fine, bass pedal is probably the weakest one.

-- You need to tighten spring screws very much or they're gonna loosen and fall off.

Throne is very nice for the money, hole height regulation, enough tall for mine 191cm.

Hi-hat stand feels okay, need lot of pressure to close it very tight.

Cymbal stand is also okay, could be a boom stand tho.

Other (maybe useful) info:

- it takes about 1 to 1 and a half hour to assemble and set up entire set.

- Remember to grease lugs (little bit of grease included),

- Get some dampening on snare and bass drum at least,

- Remember to tighten all screws,

- Stretch heads before tuning (after hand tightening lugs),

- Use tuning phone app like Drumtune Pro

I'll post whole review and set-up video of this set on my youtube channel soon! /Akapibara

Excellent Beginner drum kit

Comes with all the things you need to get you started on drumming. Only down side is you might need to change the drum heads because well the ones i have make a lot of buzzing noise. Wish i had got a electronic drum kit instead didn’t realise how loud acoustic kits can be. But other than that great value for your money.

Wonderful!

Great tool, great price, fast shipping!

A weak drum set

I wanted an inexpensive kit to learn on, this tick all the boxes. My main and only complaint is regarding the hardware, its all made inferior material, so that bolts destroyed the threads on the stands and the drum feet and the drum throne simply collapsed.

bang for your buck!!

i bought this kit a couple of months ago, and i use this as practice kit. i'm 20 years old and i say for the money you can't go wrong with this

Value for money starter set

My daughter has had the Startone Star Drum Set for a year now. She had completed a few months of drumming lessons at that stage. For a 10 year old beginner, this drum set has been the ideal starter kit. It's not too big, but it's also not a small toy either. We didn't want to spend too much just in case she decided that drumming wasn't exactly her thing. Thanks in no small part to her teacher, and this excellent drum kit, she's progressing nicely.

I've read other reviews stating that this set can take a long time to setup. It does take at least an hour to get the main parts together and then then another 30 mins of tightening & tuning. From my experience with other drum kits, that's about right when building from out of the box. Just make sure you have plenty of time and space to work in.

Once assembled you'll find that the drum kit is well built and sturdy. I was initially concerned with the durability of the plastic heads but they have survived being bashed enthusiastically on a daily basis for 1 year now. Our drum kits does get moved around a lot, which is not ideal, and we've had no major issues. Now that my daughter is progressing with her drumming grades, we're going to add to the kit a larger ride cymbal and boom stand. This startone drum set will be the foundation of her drum kit for years to come.

I do recommend this as a superb, value for money, starter kit. You would find it hard to find a similar, good quality 2nd hand one for the same price. Do consider getting ear protection for the drummer when ordering though!

Great starter drum kit

Affordable drum kit - perfect for new starter.

You can't find better new drums at this price!!!

I have these drums for years and no damage has appeared, it is built to last!

Great kit for beginners at the price!

This is a tidy full-size kit that should suit beginners of all ages. Great sound and looks without spending too much. Ideal starter kit for older kids who want to try drumming out before committing to a big ticket kit. I got this for a 6 year old rather than buying a kids kit so it has the added benefit that I can play also!

Pros: Price, Looks, Sound

Cons: The bass drum rims are a little ill-fitting and can distort the drum heads a little if not reshapen before fitting

Affordable full package

I was looking for a drum kit for my 9 year old son. The junior kits were relatively small for his size, so I decided to buy a full size kit.

I believe it is one of the best affordable sets on the market. Apart from the good looks I can safely say that sounds pretty good, specially compared to other sets in a slightly higher price range.

This set is suited for begginer drummers, and it won?t harm a intermediate either.

It is perfect for learning and the playing is very satisfying.

It comes in a full package: 2 tom toms, floor tom, snare drum, bass drum, hi-hat, crash-ride, all stands, drum stool, foot pedal and even a pack of drumsticks were included. Absolutely no extras needed, just mount and play right out of the box.

The ironware is good for rehearsal and studio practise, but I would not recommended it for touring purposes where you will have to set it up time and time again.

This set is worth your time and money.

Not bad

A little trouble with assebling the set. The sound is pretty okay. Needs some adjustment before playing. Recommended for beginners. Advanced players should get a bit pricier one. The price is very good.

Startone drumkit

Amazing value, starter drum kits usually retail for €200 - €300, this startone drum kit costs a lot less and sounds just as good. Sturdy hardware, nice snare, good sounding cymbals, recommended to all
