From what I know, hardware sucks nuts...well all
pulse hardware does till you move up in the line...cept that one boom stand for $40 at musicians friend, highly recommended for a inexpensive stand

Anyways, IMO, if you put new heads on it, it'll sound OK..but from what I know the tom mounts are a pain and teh hardware included is cheaper than anything. Personally, get a double bass peddle...save up for either a second bass drum or for a better kit

Iono what kinda set you have now, but there's no reason to downgrade
