Odery Cafe Kit Blue Sparkle 4-piece shell set incl. hardware
I spent months researching for what compact drum to get to replace my electronic drum kit. I saw the cafekit at the beginning of the my search but I never decided to get it because I could look weird playing such a small drum kit (I'm sort of big), but I couldn't take the image of the kit off my head. It was soo unique and good looking. I saw all the videos in YouTube, and read the reviews online (including that great review at compactdrums.com). At the end, once the kit was below £400 again, I got it.
If the images online are nice, in person, the kit is actually nicer. It has a beautiful sparkly blue wrap and everything seems really good quality.
The kit comes in a box altogether. The bass drum needs assembly (rims), but toms and snare came already assembled. The hardware in my opinion seems very good and sturdy. I had to get an extra cymbal stand because this kit only comes with 1, apart from hihat stand.
In terms of sounds, the kit is really great. The snare has a really nice crack sound once you get the skin tight enough.
The small tom can sound really high pitch so I tuned a bit lower. Same for the big tom.
The bass drum can sound deep enough if you tuned it low.
Things i didn't like:
The drum pedal feels cheap and annoying. I have another cheap pedal and the inrock one feels worse.
I didnt like the fact that it comes with only one cymbal stand. I understand the compact idea but even the ugly Pearl Midtown has a cymbal holder attached to the bass drum.
I didnt like that all drum heads are coated. They all sound good, don't get me wrong, but the bass drum could sound even better with a clear one.
Overall, I loved it! It is so compact and good looking. Really eye-catching. It sounds so well just out of the box that it will save me some money because I'm not changing the head drums yet. It is easy to move around or to just keep in the car.
If you ask me, I completely recommend it! Very happy with the purchase.
However, I'm not very happy with the delivery of the product. I think a nice shop as Bax should change delivery service in the UK.
