Hello Ryan

I have it. It does come with a serviceable bass pedal, a hi hat stand 
and a throne. Sticks and a lesson book would have made it a turn-key 
kit. I am REALLY happy with the new cymbals and the new cymbal sounds. 
My only complaint is that I have to really stand on the hi hat pedal to 
get a fully closed sound. Well- not my only complaint: the tom mounts 
are hard to get tight enough and the throne seems thinly padded for my 
elderly rump.( I've noticed that one can spend considerable money on a 
throne- I'm much too Calvinist to spend money on comfort) This is a 
whole lot of e-drum for the money.
