I have the Pacific 5 piece EZ set. Since you're planning on changing out the heads and cymbals...it's a decent starter kit. I really haven't had any problems with the kit...but it doesn't come with a throne...but I got one for like $20 at a Pawn Shop (new). The hardware is pretty good, no complaints yet...and I've had the kit for a year now. I'd recommend it...but I'm not much of a drummer anymore...I'm a guitar whore now.
