Before purchasing, I watched a number of YouTube videos about this kit. Each video I viewed said what a great deal, for the money vs features, that this kit was; well, they were ALL correct! This kit is amazing. It came superbly packaged, two days ahead of the scheduled delivery & only took a shade over an hour to set up and start playing/sampling. Compared to other entry level, electronic kits, this is easily the best 'bang for your buck!' Very impressed and would HIGHLY recommend this kit to anyone that's looking for an electronic drum kit. Thanks Donner...I love it!

Fun drums. Very well packaged for convenient setup.

This is the perfect drum kit for me. I am 53 and have always loved the drum beat of songs. I had friends in bands so I was able to learn the basics from watching them, and jumping behind the kit while they were on breaks. I am that guy who uses his steering wheel as a drum set.
I always wanted to buy drums but acoustic was too load and electric sets were too expensive. This is why I was thrilled to find the Donner DED-200. It was priced for me as a person who just wants have fun.

This is a decent, cheap electro drum set. It’s a little more than a toy, but it plays well enough, has decent action, and is compact. If all you need is a set for young beginners or a small set to save space, noise, and money, then get this one. I use it to give lessons to young children and they do great with it. I can get on it and play fine. The module is limited to variations of sets and sounds. The throne is junk. I wish I had bought the cheaper set that does not come with a throne.

Your browser does not support HTML5 video. My brother lives in apartment & asked me to purchased this for them & shipped in my house. Here's what he said about this electric drum set; "This kit is awesome! So easy to set up right out of the box. Packed really well & arrived without damage. The lit takes up surprisingly a very little amount of space for being such a large kit. The frumpy sizes are perfect for an electric kit, not too small and not too bulky perfect in my apartment. The drum heads are much more responsive than my previous e-kit, the real kick pedal is really nice, high-hat controls legit, and the customizatizability of the EQ levels and such from the monitor allow the kit to be used a many different ways. Mounting hardware is sturdy, feels solid and the head triggers have a wonderful feel to them. Sound is fantastic. The best part is me & my son can practice it in silence by wearing a headphones we will not disturb others. I am surprised I have had no regrets or concerns so far."

This is a great kit! Sounds awesomel!

Really like quality. Instructions were a bit difficult but we figured it out. Probably would be easy to understand if I were a drummer.
Billy L.
I haven't played drums in 40+ years and wanted something quiet and reasonably priced to see if I could still play. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the kit and how easy it was to adjust to hitting the smaller heads. I love playing it and I have a lot of practicing to do.
If I could update anything on the kit it would be the control module. I think that once I figure out how to use it I will be ok.

I tried the Alesis Nitro Mesh, but the hard rubber kick pad felt terrible. The Donner version, though slightly lesser quality overall, makes up for it with the mesh kick pad. The kick pad is a bit bouncy, but overall feels much closer to a real kick drum. One drawback to the Donner is the use of stinky black rubber for some of the components, like the removeably rubber snare and tom rims. But you can leave those off, so the smell is not a major concern. (Pads and black rubber cymbals are NOT made of the stinky stuff.) Built-in drum sounds are probably lower quality than the Alesis, but if your playing through a DAW on your computer, you needn't worry about the built-in sounds.

The donner electric drum kit was everything it said it would be well packaged quality material and true dumming sound and more very pleased with the purchased and also the price!
Brian P.
the kit is a lot of fun.. It seems that the kit volume is not as loud as it was? Please advise.. I would also like to use some Bluetooth earbuds.. thanks brian
Charles s.
Great product for a great price. I am a beginner, I can’t believe all that you can do with this drum set in regards to customizing each piece and all the different kit options. I am having a blast with this thing. It was well worth the money.
Curtis L.
This is a great electronic drum set for the money!

My son saved for months to get this drum set and we couldn’t be more pleased with this whole experience.
First, we received update emails throughout- from purchase to delivery. When the box arrived it was packaged in the best way possible. Each box was individually labeled and contained any items that would be needed for assembly inside. The directions were easy to follow and between my husband and I, we had the whole set assembled within two hours.
The drums sound fantastic! We do not have an amp yet so we don’t know how they sound in that regard but they sound great through the headphones.
We were hesitant to have our son spend so much money on something we are not familiar with but I would say that if you’re on the fence, this is a great starter set and it has provided hours of entertainment for our son. He’s gotten so good at drumming!
Steven f.
enjoying the drums.quick shipping.solid well made,like the sound of them. the mesh heads are a great improvement over the rubber pads. the one bad mark on this kit is the drummers throne and the headphones. the throne bent within 30 minutes of playing the drums. the headphones are a complete waste of money.they are pretty much non adjustable,wont stay on and simply ,sound bad.should offer a refund for the cost of both.order a kit that doesnt include these 2 items an buy yourself a good pair of headphones and a good throne.you will be replacing both soon anyway.
Jennifer H.
Purchased as a Christmas gift. Haven't opened it yet but it arrived very fast.
Jordan V.
They’re great for beginners and it’s great for practising late at night so you don’t wake anyone up and I love the fact that it comes with everything including the sticks and stool and headphones . Thank you donner For great service and fast delivery

Awesome purchase! Content...

Once I got the rack setup placing the drums and connecting the wires was easy - Bought a cable to plug an old cd player into the module to play along with cd's(Earphone out from the cd player to audio in on the module). These drums are a BLAST!
Jess C.
Great package for my
grandson to find his talent!
Brooks N.
My husband and son’s Christmas present. They both love it!
James C.
This seemed like a reasonable set to practice with in my home. So far, it great! Obviously not like real drums but definitely close enough to practice with at my level. An since they are pretty quiet, I can practice more often without annoying anyone.
Ross C.
So far the drums have been useful and function properly. I just need to know what type of external speaker I can use instead of headphones.
Dennis s.
We investigated the purchase of an electronic drum kit for our grandson and we reviewed several different models, including major retail centers. Donner Music Instrument not only had the equipment, but also offered shipment within just a couple of days (which is expected for shipping over 300 miles). The package arrived on time, as expected, and was exactly what was ordered. The drum kit was easy to assemble, and works perfectly.
We got a great value for our money and we appreciate the great service from Donner Music.
Emanuel B.
I bought this as a Father's day gift for my husband who used to play the drums before he enlisted. He is 6'7" and I was worried the set would be too short but he said it was perfect and it sounds great! He jams on this set every single day when he gets home from work. It's super easy to set up too. He says the stool is fine but I hate it cause it feels really rickety lol
Veronica C.
He lOves the sound of it. Thank you
Michael P.
Great kit for keeping up chops. I have carpet in the room , I bought a drum blanket, looking for ways to secure kick.
Naoya
My Kid love it. It is good idea to buy speaker too.
Joseph W.
I lost my previous set to a fire but I am very happy that it occurred! It gave me the opportunity to upgrade with my current kit! The sound and the kit is out of this world….and the base drum is a drum also! And it comes with a stool too?! What more can you ask for?!
James F.
I'm impressed,I never had an electronic set.well built,very adjustable,numerous different sounds ,metronome,like all the features,and a good price.
Barry f.
Great for the money I’ve been playing professionally since 1960,but due to health reasons had to stop last year.I bought the electric drums to have something to do without disturbing the neighbors,also my five year old granddaughter wants to learn how to play,it give me a good chance to bond with her.
Joseph R.
It’s just what I was hoping for to find a kit with mesh pads is awesome for the price I paid-The drums and cymbals and Hi-hat sounds great too… The only thing I noticed is there is a very very slight latency when I play the tom-toms but overall I’m very happy with the kit and the sound!
Ron M.
The media could not be loaded. Great for E-Drums for the price. Sounds professional. Meshes are excellent.

Just a beginner.. wanting to learn to play the drums.. been a desire of mine all my life. Recently retired at 66 and would luv to play the drums
Diaz
As a musician (guitarist) I understand a good quality instrument is key when you are trying to learn. So I bought my daughter a good acoustic drumset. While she loves it, we cant just have it out due to space and of course the volume. This has deterred her away from playing when she likes to because it takes to long to set up. I took her to a music store and she absolutely loved the electric drum set she saw. So I hopped on Amazon and having used Donner guitar equipment, I decided to grab this set. It took me all of 30 minutes to build and it has the ability to fold somewhat so setting up is a breeze if you need to stow it away in a corner. It comes with 5 drums and 3 cymbals but you can expand with a second crash if you wanted to.
Ama
I've always wanted an electronic drum kit, but was always put off by how much they cost. I've found this kit to be a very high-quality and realistic sounding set for an absolute bargain price.
Shipping was a very fast 2 days. When the set arrived I thought it would be difficult to put together, but even with my 16-month-old daughter "helping" me, I was still able to put the kit together in less than an hour. I didn't even need the online instruction video; the manual was very straightforward and easy to follow.
The first thing I noticed when I plugged in the drum set is that there are a lot of useful options as far as outputs. There is a MIDI output that would be useful for hooking this to your computer, as well as a standard 1/4" instrument cable output and 1/8" headphone output. I like having these options, because I can plug the drum set into a regular amplifier or my radio that accepts aux cable inputs. There's also an audio in and a spot for an additional crash.
I fired up the drum kit, and immediately I was impressed with the sound quality. I have had acoustic drum sets before, and this sounds very authentic and feels very natural. Given the choice between the two, I would actually prefer the electric drum kit over my acoustic, just because of the versatility and ability to control volume (especially with the wife and baby!).
There are 15 main drum kits (see video), but there are 255 timbres you can choose from. This is one of the great strengths of this set in my opinion. You can truly play anything from hip-hop to rock, from funk to jazz, from military to 70s type stuff. It's also nice that you can adjust the sensitivity of pretty much every parameter; it's a great feature that you can fine-tune everything to your specific playing tastes. That you can also tweak the reverb and EQ is just icing on the cake. Not only that, but you can save your reverb and EQ settings permanently.
Feel is an important consideration that made me hesitant to buy such an inexpensive kit. Drummers know what I'm talking about when I say that it's hard to get that real drum kit feel on an electric sometimes. The super expensive kits I've played have that feel, but I was skeptical at this price point that it would have that feel I was looking for. Thankfully I am super happy with how this kit performs. The snare and toms have that nice springiness, and the cymbals all have good weight and balance. I was surprised how easily I felt at home on an electric set after having only had an acoustic set.
There are many nice little features that bear discussion. There are pre-loaded demo songs that are fun to jam to. You can control the tempo, and there are 30 different songs. There is also a metronome, which as a drummer, is obviously very important. These may seem like little things, but it's very convenient having them.
Build quality is another one of the strong-suits of this set. The kit feels very durable, and able to withstand a lot of abuse. I play very loud and hard, and I don't feel like I have to hold back or be gentle with this kit. Also, the kick feels very solid and real, which is something you don't always get with an electric kit.
As far as performance, I am truly amazed at how well this plays and sounds for such an inexpensive kit. The sound sampling is out of this world, and I would not hesitate to use this for recording. There are many nice little features, like how you can hit the crash and then grab it to silence it, or how you can hit the rim of the snare and get that nice "pop." Perhaps most importantly, there is no lag whatsoever, and there are no glitches or weird noises.
Lastly, this set is a breeze to fold up and store, which is essential when your wife won't let you keep it in the living room.
Folks, we are living in the Golden age of high-quality inexpensive instruments. Never before in my life have I seen a time were you can get such a fantastic electric drum kit shipped to your door. This kit rivals A$3,000 kits I have played at big-box guitar stores. The feel of this set is superb, to the point that I honestly prefer it over an acoustic set. The audio quality is incredible, and not just hype or marketing. I would buy another one of these in a heartbeat, and would highly recommend this to any drummer beginner or experienced.
Jackson
Excellent drum kit. Perfect for beginners and experienced drummers looking for a an electronic set. Good sounds overall. 16 drum kits available but some sound very similar. Would have liked a better variety but ok. Mesh heads are great and give a nicer feel vs rubber drum heads. Has a few programmed songs to play along with. Would have been nice to remove the drum sounds while playing along though. Noticed the closed high hat sound very quiet. Perhaps this can be adjusted? Very good responsively overall. Needed to purchase an external speaker. Would recommend powerwerks mini PA. Headphones work great. Kick drum very loose and will move all over the place but this can be secured. Drum frame is rounded metal pipes and feels very secure but the joints are plastic but appears solid so far. Would recommend as an entry level kit. Easy to assemble. Took me about an hour by myself. So able to play right away. Sound quality is good. If you are looking for a professional sounding kit with professional sound options you will need to purchase something more pricey. Overall, it’s a pretty solid kit.

I'm 78 years old and the adventurous taste of drumming has stuck with me for years...I take one class a week...and I'm becoming a better drummer every day. ............
Nicholas
Great set! Quality sound, easy to assemble, and made of high quality material. Has a much more comfortable bass drum, snare and hi-hat than other electronic drum sets I've seen and tested out. A drummer who is used to a traditional set may have to make slight adjustments with their respective techniques, but that's the same for all electronic sets. I like the drum covers better than some other sets because they aren't smooth as glass like cheaper ones. Instead they have a different consistency for better sound. I easily hooked it into a bass amp and it sounded great. Also sounds great with a good pair of headphones. I purchased the two year warranty, but the way this set is built, I doubt I'll even need one. Would highly recommend, and I am extremely happy with it.
Dan D.
Just falling in love with drums again. I can blast it with an amp or put my heads phones on trynewthink and not annoy the household ...2 thumbs up....
ND
This is a pretty cool drum set! Really nice that it comes with a full kit, drum throne and some headphones.
Assembly:
The assembly process was okay - it did come with all the tools needed which is a plus; most of the parts were marked and easy to identify. I had an issue with the support bar for the kick drum where it wouldn’t fit quite right and had to use a rubber mallet to bend metal back a hare to make the screw fit. Not a huge deal, but I did spend a bunch of time trying to figure out if I did it wrong or not. I’m sure it was just on my set.
Sound quality:
Sound quality seems pretty good through headphones - I don’t have a speaker to play through so can only comment on headphone use. You can make all kinds of fine adjustments on volume/tone for each drum, and save presets which is cool. I am a novice so I don’t necessarily need all that functionality.
Quality seems pretty good for the most part! Seems like it will hold up well if taken care of. I was impressed by materials used.
I’d definitely recommend this.
Guilherme M.
Perfect drum for practicing and playing. I loved it
Scott H.
It took 2 weeks to ship and 1 week to arrive after it shipped, but I have gone more than 2 decades without a drum set so I am patient. Used to play drums in a band for years but the band broke up and I lost interest and my access to a set. I have truly missed playing drums but live in an urban area with little practice space and thin walls to my neighbor's apartment. Last time I looked at decent quality electric drums, they were $1000 or more. Saw these on a Youtube video and was AMAZED at the features at such a low price. When I learned you could grab the cymbals and mute them, I was sold. Just received them and it took a couple hours to set up (at a slow old man pace). I plugged them in and gave them a whirl and all I can say is WOW. This is THE BEST set you can buy for this price. I have fiddled with others in the pawn shop for years (Roland, Yamaha, etc.), but for the price and features you get, these are a real winner. Thanks so much, Donner, you have made this grouchy old man very, very happy. Anybody who is craving an e-drum set and is 'on the fence', JUMP AT THIS! You won't regret it.
Helen A.
Home schooled because of the pandemic.....his older brothers play the acoustic guitar and bass respectively ; Mom figured we might as well form a band! .... The drum set we bought totally fit the bill! Thankyou and rock on!
ICO MEDIA
Excellent beginner kit! The brain is simple to use and is loaded with good sounds. The feel of the mesh heads are great and are of excellent quality. The frame is robust and will hold the weight of playing and traveling well.
This is a complete kit right out of the box. Sticks and headphones are included along with all the hardware you need. They even include the tools you need for the bass drum stand.
If you’re a private teacher, this would be great for your studio. Easy connectivity to your computer if you want to lay down tracks as well.
Richard L.
The best price I ever spent definitely worth it
Steve T.
Easy to set up, nice and quiet for the neighbours.
Matthew A.
I couldn't be more happy with my experience. I read many positive reviews before I made the purchase and knew this was the kit for me. A quality product at a reasonable price
Joseph T.
Very good quality at a great price. Simple to assemble and worked immediately upon turning on. You guys are amazing.
Terrance G.
Steeper learning curve than I expected, but these drums are sweet, fun, and ecomical way to learn the art of percussion. Easy to assemble, too. Not all the kits move me, but that's just personal taste, and the throne's way too hard, got a pillow that does the trick until I get a more comfy chair, but other than that, 2 big thumbs up. And I can say the same for my lemon yellow strat. Only disappoint has been that I cashed in 500 donner bucks for an acoustic guitar pickup - out of stock at the time, and It's been in and out I believe and it hasn't shown up yet, I don't even remember getting notified whether it had been processed, altho the 500$ have been taken out. But overall, very satisfied with my purchased, and the quality for entry level instruments is superb. Oh, and one othe thing is that in assembling the kit, I made one minor boo boo - I put the felt cymbal rings _under_ the cymbal where they turned rock hard; you wouldnt' have 4 rings kickin' around that you could send me? No worries if you don't, guys. Cheers from the East Coast.
Stephen L.
Love it. Great to practice and have fun.
Scott B.
Thank you to Donner for this amazing kit! With a few adjustments, this kit is high quality and quite versatile. The pads are very sensitive to dynamics and the pads themselves feel like acoustic drums. My only complaint is the high hat tends to play double strokes on a single hit, so it might be a little too sensitive, but other than that, this e kit is a great value with a multitude of sounds. I love it!
Richard L.
I love the set. it was pretty easy to setup, instructions were clear. I did a lot of research before decided on the DED-200. The whole structure was very sturdy and stable. I used velcro to attach the bass pad to the horizontal bar to prevent it from moving, and it works fine. I am only a novice in drumming, there are metronome and songs for me to learn. it is fun.
Etienne H.
Great product !
Good sound, great feeling with the mesh and perfect to have fun or learn to play.
Only fact is that the bench is weak, bent in couple of play, not for over 200 lbs people.
Replace it with a chair for the moment !
John S.
This kit is an unbelievable value, comparable to kits costing twice as much!
Jacky P.
Best electronic drums at a low price!Think John Bonham would be proud of it!
Ray M.
Solid setup which was easy to assemble with the provided tools. Sounds great with many options.
John d.
Stoked on my new drum set. I'm just a beginner drummer, but learning and getting better daily is so much fun. The kit came with one wrong sized piece, so I couldn't secure a bar in one place, but I made do. It's all still very secure. The sounds and sensitivity on the cymbals are a little wonky and random sometimes, but it doesn't take away from the fun of it (maybe I just haven't tightened them properly or fully figured out sensitivity settings yet). For the past couple years, I've been making beats with just sounds on my computer, so getting away from the screen and playing something real and tangible is a blast. I got this kit for a great price, and overall, I'm satisfied with it as a beginner kit.
Jerry G.
My grandson loves it
Leo L.
I didnt want this kit as i purchased it by accident and tired to cancel it but was unsuccessful. Decided to give it a chance and honestly really couldn't be happier. Yes its a beginner set but that exactly what i am but well versed in music as I play guitar. Overall great set to start with i even purchased the expansion symbol. Only thing i see worth mentioning is that Donner should have a sound module upgrade for these kits.
Thomas c.
Awesome kit. Got it for my daughters and they love it. I don’t know much about e drums, but this one is very good quality. Wish something like this was available when I was 12 and wanted to play drums
Beebe J.
Awesome drum kit. Sounds great !!!
Steven S.
This drumset is awesome! Exceeded my expectations for sure!!!
John C.
put it together works great very good sound i recommend buying one if you want to learn how to play the drums
Walter R.
My church needed a drummer, so after many years away from playing, I volunteered to join the church band. I got the DED-200 for a home practice kit that I can play quietly if need be, and I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. It does everything I need it to do, and I can practice without chasing the wife and kids out of the house. I can't walk past the kit without sitting down and playing a few bars! I'm a lefty, and the kit sets up for lefty like a breeze. If you're thinking about getting into drumming and want an affordable yet capable kit, this is the kit for you. I should have done it MUCH sooner! Enjoy!
Christine Q.
Very happy customer. Delivery was fast, drum kit was easy to assemble and the sound is fantastic! Purchased as a first kit for our son and would have no hesitations recommending it to others!
Veronica
I was pleasantly surprised on the quality and sound. I'm not a professional or anywhere near it. But it is a blast to play. You have multiple sounds to choose from. I love that I can put on the headphones and close the bedroom door and play as much as I want without disturbing my family.
Jamie
The logistics hasn't been updated for a long time. I thought it was lost, but I got it in the end. The child had a great time.
bob W.
The pre-sale has been waiting for too long, but the product is very good, good quality and low price.
Michele
The electronic drum is very good, my son is very happy, but the logistics is too slow. So bad!
Nalaka A.
i ordered the kit on Sunday and received on Tuesday morning. im happy with my kit.
Thanks Donner team :)
Allan A.
Great value for your money. Most affordable all-mesh e-drum kit and comes with everything you need to start playing. Wishing for more upgrades in the future.
Ricky Steel
I was retired of drumming for 25 years since I sold my Tama set. Wanted to come back but in an affordable and easy way. This fits all my needs and resources. I have little space in my home studio and i didn't want to disturb my neighbors either. Now I have a practice pad and variety in drum sets. For the price this set sounds great, it is well built and looks amazing. Very happy with it, and it arrived much sooner than expected. I recommend it.
Mandie
They were for my 10 year old son. He's played drums since he was 2 and I wanted something he could just play All the time. No kid likes to here not right now mom has a headache. We have had them set up to an amp and head phones and for the price the sound quality is decent def. Not professional by any means but it's good and I like hearing them most days. They fit in his small bedroom and fold in when more room us needed that Is Also a plus.
Anthony
Overall very very good for casual play or beginners. Sound is nice both through headphones and external speakers.
Only negatives I can think of are the clasps to hold the drum heads and the MIDI input. The clasps drop overtime after playing, but I do play pretty hard. For my recording program, if I use MIDI the input triggers ALL sensors constantly and makes for a basically unusable Soundfile. However this could just be my program.
Joe Faber
While it was not easy to put together and the instructions weren't worth very much, it seems quite solid. The choice of sounds are limited to mostly electro-rock, but it does have a few good drum kit sounds to it. For almost the same price as a practice pad set, this is beyond worth its money. It is an awesome value for a practice set for an apartment or beginners or if you need to be quiet... just pull out a pair of headphones and you are golden.
Aaron S
Easy assembly. Not a fan of the short power cord. Definitely need an extension cord to get comfortable placement.
Pleased with the responsive pedals and general sound options of the set.
In general, I'm a fan of the mesh heads & pleased with this purchase.
Fully recommend.
Rq
Exited to get it... Ups dropped it off drug it in set it up.. Started to play.. So in pressed I played it for about 30 minutes before I decided to read the manual... Awesome kit has great sounds and sounds real.
Brandi O.
My girl loved it. She was here when it got delivered and the look on her face was priceless. We live in an apartment, so an electric set was perfect. But it would have been nice to be able to listen without the headphones sometimes. We'll be getting an amp so that I can listen while she plays. It was definitely a two person job putting it together. Trying to hold one part in place to keep it from moving while connecting another part was the only issue. After we majority of the frame together, it flowed more quickly. Everything is good so far.
Ronald
I got back into drumming after an eight year hiatus. I had never played an electronic kit and this set exceeded my expectations. Not only is it compact enough to fit in limited space, but the quality and versatility are well beyond the cost.
It came complete with throne sticks and headset. No need to buy any extras unless you want brushes or amp or an additional crash cymbal ( which is easily connected via extra port on main control board.)
I absolutely love it and recommend for the beginner to advanced player.
Ryan .
This is a good starter kit for someone new to drumming or, as in my case, for someone that hasn’t played in so long and wants to get their chops back up. I live in an apartment so staying quiet is key. This kit is good for being quiet but there will be some low end thumping that transmits through the floors when hitting rubber/plastic cymbals. I suggest foam matting and a rug to absorb those sounds.
The sound module is difficult to navigate through as well. A lot of clicking through and not enough verification that you saved anything they way you want it. They definitely need to improve the sound module. Overall it is a good kit for beginners or for those looking to start up again, just remember the foam mat and rug if you are upstairs.
Jeff A.
This is a really nice set, I've been very happy with it. Bought it as a Christmas present for my 14 year old daughter, and she loves it! Assembly was pretty straightforward and easy. Everything is well labeled, so there was no problem matching the components to their proper connections. The variety of drum kits built in is a great feature, and the ability to mix and match each individual drum sound adds a level of customization to your setup. Everything feels high end and well built. The sound quality is impressive, both through headphones and through an amp. This was a great buy!
Ken
I don't know what else I can say about this kit except it is absolutely amazing for the money. I challenge you to find another kit at this pricepoint that has mesh heads. Lots and lots of drum kits and songs and a metronome built in. Easy to assemble if you look at the pics and follow the instructions. I think it would not be bad for bar band gig, a wedding gig or a corporate event, especially one where volume is an issue. It's going to be hard to beat this kit anywhere. Great value -- get some decent headphones and a real amp before you decide to rate. We started through on of bass amps - sounded good. Then we ran through the PA -- INCREDIBLE. Spend the money on a good drum amp.
B
Awesome kit for a beginner.

I had been wanting one of these for a while and someone goaded me into giving this one a shot. It arrived in a very nice, well protected package. They even included a screw driver and a drum key which is all you need to put it together. The instructions were fairly decent and the diagrams were outstanding. It took me a little over an hour to put it together. Bear in mind that I'm a left handed dyslexic with Adhd. It would probably go a lot faster,but I see everything backwards and I had to set it up for a lefty. Whew. The whole time I kept saying to myself how nice and sturdy the construction was on the pedals and everything. Most of the time in this price range you get a very expensive toy. This was more like the $1000 plus stuff I have played. It took me 3 tries to route all the wires to suit me. Once I got it dialed in for me, and everything Tightened down good, I gave it a test drive. All of the drums have a nice realistic feel to them. They are mesh head and tunable, so I can't imagine anyone not being able to get the correct feel for themselves. Right out of the box they are set up pretty good. There are 15 preset drumsets and 15 different sounds for each drum, cymbal etc. The following are usually only included with much more expensive kits: dual zone snare, dual zones on all crashes and the ride cymbals, and the amazing ability to be able to choke the cymbals. Yea. I played around with it for hours. You can create and save your own custom sets, play along to a ton of backing tracks, or just use the metronome to work on your chops. I have included pictures and a video running quickly through all the preset kits. Keep in mind you have 6 levels of sensitivity to dial in and this is run through a cheap $20 amp. I am really liking this thing. If anything changes I will gladly update. Rock on \mm/

Using it at home as a practice kit for worship rehearsal. So far it's been great! Sounds and dynamics are excellent. The kit has a small footprint which gives it an advantage if your practice space is tight. It's about a month or so old so I can't rate reliability. Assembly was super easy. So far I totally recommend this kit for beginners and drummers who want to rehearse without killing your family and neighbors. I wouldn't recommend using it for gigs as it is a light duty kit. I'm a semi professional drummer with 35 years of band experience. I have also owned Alesis and Yamaha electronic Drum products. Also have played extensively on high end Roland V drums.

This is overall a good electric Drumset to use for beginners, recording, or as a midi controller. I suppose you could use it for small gigs as well. It wasn’t terribly hard to assemble, and it was packaged very well. The pads have lots of bounce to them, and feel pretty good. The only disappointment was the lack of onboard sounds. All the drum samples sounded kind of cheesy, but a few of the Toms and kicks on there were okay. However, I just use it as a midi controller so that I can play better sounds on the kit.

We got this for Christmas for my boys and they love it! Great for moms too because kids can plug their headphones into it to give our ears a break! We had an amp to plug it into. You have to have one of those for the sound to work. It has all different sounds as well, not just the basic drum sounds! We bought the suggested stool and my boys haven’t really liked that. I’m sure there are better ones out there! It has become a source of entertainment for my boys teenage friends too when they come hangout in our music room!

I bought this set for my husband for his birthday and it was a HUGE hit! He loves drums but I don’t love to hear them lol. So am electric kit was the best compromise. The sound is excellent and he said they are incredible. Even better than his last set which was about 8 years ago.
