Crimson II SE Mesh Kit : Best electronic kit for price range by far

5 years ago

Absolutely jam packed with relevant features:

Chokeable cymbals;

Three-zone ride;

Two-zone snares and toms;

Two (yes two) crash cymbals!;

Proper kick drum trigger (so you can use your own single/double pedal);

Range of hi-hat openness;

Tuneable mesh heads.

It feels great to play and is fully adjustable to your own set-up.

The only con:

All electric drums (even top high-end ones) seem to suffer from the same problem - the in-built sounds. The electronic kits and SFX kits are fine, but the 'real' kits have an artificial quality about them.

However, if you use a drum sample library over USB (even the cheapest sound realistic) then this is a non-issue. Just don't expect to gig realistically with an electric kit.

Fantastic for someone like me who has no room or soundproofing for a real kit.
