OK, but snare height below knees. Thomann says: no problem!
I started taking drum lessons I was looking for cheap and full sizes (not kids) drum set. Thinking to upgrade as soon as it would make any sense.
I decided to get a cheap acoustic kit, swap the included heads for mesh ones and get a set of quiet cymbals. I researched all the options and went with this set. I was aware that there is only one cymbal set, so I ordered two extra.
The quality is ok and you don't expect much at this price point. It would be enough to get started.
Unfortunately there is one major gripe that made me think that I made a wrong choice. If you look at the picture you may notice that the snare drum is positioned low compared to kick drum and toms.
It is only after setting up the kit I realised that the maximum snare and floor tom heights are about 20cm lower than what it should be for my height. The stool is also low, and not very stable.
My height is 186cm and my knees are reaching 64cm from the floor resting on both pedals. Both the snare and floor tom only reaching 60cm mark at the maximum height adjustment setting being below my knees and even more below my thighs.
I gave description of the problem with photos and the measurements to support and they denied the problem replying that: "the kit you have received is as it should be as well as that both the drumstool and the stand for the snare corresponds with what is standard for this kit."
Thomann showed me a finger straight away. Not even offering free shipping on ordering new snare stand.
