The Sims 2: University[edit | edit source]

Downbeat Kit
A compact drum set for every stage of the drummer's skill: from ill-timed beginners to the studio pro. The snare, bass and floor tom are tuned to just the right bounce that transforms the beater into the finesse player. The best, brightest Turkish bronze makes these cymbals sizzle. The Downbeat is the heart of the rhythm section that will anchor your musically inclined Sims to join together to make some beautiful music.
