Description
The Zip-Kit Essential Kit is a fully acoustic, compact drum set that packs neatly into the bass drum for easy storage and transportation. Featuring the essential elements for learning drums; bass drum with 90 degree kick pedal, height adjustable 8" snare drum, string operated 10" hi-hat and adjustable stool.
It is uniquely suitable for learning or practicing drums where space is limited and if you want to frequently drum in different locations. Set up and pack away in minutes, the Zip-Kit can easily be carried to and from school or private lessons and the volume of the snare can be muted with the included foam mute pad. The Essential Kit also includes two (2) padded carry straps that attach to the bass drum in backpack style for comfort and security.

Closest Store Toronto (Bloor St.), Ontario
I purchased this kit as well as the add-on tom and cymbal. I've had it for about 5 days now.
I am impressed. First of all, the packaging is very high quality, almost overkill. That's a good sign of what's to come. The component themselves seem high quality. The add-on tom and cymbal have their own little gig bags, which fit into the main case when everything is disassembled. It took me a minute or two to figure out how to assemble it; the instructions are OK (and I suspect there are better instructions online, but I'm an analog guy) but I had a few puzzled moments that were quickly sorted.
This kit sounds super cool! It's designed for educational settings, but I can totally see it as a viable portable kit for many settings. It is SUPER fun to play. I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. The sounds are surprisingly good. I'd say the weakest spot is the cymbal, and it's not surprising that I say that. My regular cymbals include K Cons and similar. I think if someone comes up with an aftermarket cymbal that sounds more like a cymbal this kit will be even more fire than it is now.
Putting it back into the case took me a few minutes to figure out, but subsequent assembly and disassembly should be super quick. I love how everything fits so neatly inside and it can be worn like a backpack.
I think this is a fantastic and innovative percussion product. The quality seems very high out of the box. Hopefully the stores will have some on the floor for people to play.
