Speaking of Roberto Villani, deus ex machina of RV Drums, I am certainly not impartial: I have known him for almost twenty years, I have had several drums built which I then assembled in my shop and I know well his mastery, dedication, meticulousness, combined with an extraordinary passion. Its shells and drums are tailor-made for the customer, with obsessive attention to every detail.

This set is an example of this: extremely refined finishes, impeccable hardware (2.3mm triple flange hoops, "tube" lugs. This drum kit has a powerful, defined and full-bodied sound despite its size. currently features Ambassador Coated batter and Diplomat Clear resonant on the tom and floor tom, Ambassador Coated and Hazy on the snare; the bass drum has a Powerstroke 3 Coated batter and an Ambassador Smooth White resonant. All the heads are immaculate.

A drum kit suitable for playing small venues, with adequate volume, reduced space and professional performance.
