Yamaha Rydeen:
Awesome kit. Never had any complaints about it aside from the stock heads sounding awful. However, once you change the heads, it should give you the sound you want.
The tom mounting system is great. The mobility offered is sufficient for most beginners, and as long as you don't intend to make up some sort of really wierd setup, it'll work great. Pedal that came with the kit was decent. It uses a strap drive instead of a chain drive, and it has a floaty feel.
The stands are just wonderful. It hardly moved when I use them. Only exception to this is the hi-hat stand.
Best of all, it comes in a great price! RM2300 for a standard kit, or should I say, it's about US$500.
Downsides:
You can't expand your kit beyond the normal 5 piece without buying another Rydeen fusion sized kit.
The hi-hat stand just sucks. It didn't fall over, but when you step on it, it shakes! I worry everyday about my hi-hat stand falling over, wrecking my precious Istanbul hats. Recommend that you replace this POS immediately.
