Very nice

An excelent product for a very good price. You can play it on every situation and it's a versatile tool.

Not a well made product

You get what you pay for, I suppose. Bought this product and withing the first few months of having it the foot pedals stopped working and one pad began coming apart. Perhaps I got a dud, but it's hard to recommend the product based on this experience. Take the punt at your own risk.

I use it for recording with Garageband

I bought this because apartments in Germany aren't so drum-kit-friendly. I plug this into Garageband via USB and listen through my headphones If you turn down the master volume on the e-drums, then you only hear whatever drum sound you use in GarageBand. I've recorded awesome drums with this.

I gave it a 4 star playability rating because I'm used to the high hat being on the left of the snare. You can't do that here. The high hat is the centre-bottom pad and snare is left bottom. I messed up a lot in recording, but I got through. The kick pedal and and high hat pedal will move a bit during play. I used table legs from IKEA lack to hold them in place. Also, they are funny little pedals. They are full throttle or nothing because they aren't pressure sensitive. No biggy. The recording process is easy.

As far has how the drums themselves are, without GarageBand, just through the speaker, I am not sure. But this thing has tons of functions and features that I haven't tested yet. I can say that for recording in apartments that don't allow drums, this thing works just dandy. It has randomly disconnected from my laptop before. I turn it off and then on again. Wala! It's back in business.

Awesome bit of kit

I'm no drummer and all I wanted was to put a back beat on my singing and guitar playing and this was it. I've seen identical on another site (different name) but £30 more expensive. This does what it says on the tin super happy

Great midi drumset for home recording

I have been looking for a small drum set I can use for home recording (as drums are not my main instrument), which will not annoy the neighbours and can easily be stored in my apartment. This drum set is perfect for just that! Also it came with almost everything you need to start (foot pedals, power cable, and a nice set of drumsticks, only the usb-midi cable is not included). I will list the pros and cons below.

PROS:

- Small and portable, can easily be stored

- Not too loud if you're playing at home with headphones

- Midi, which gives you access to a wide range of drum sounds, and makes mixing them easier when recording (plus the sound quality is great!)

- Touch sensitive (except foot pedals)

CONS:

- The bass drum controlled by the foot pedal is not touch sensitive, and much louder than any of the other drums

- Foot pedal for bass drum sometimes "doubles" the beat if you step on it too hard

- Additionally, the snare is much quieter than the other drums for some reason.

- Foot pedals seem cheaply made (not a huge issue though).

The issues, however, are easily fixed by midi, where you can adjust the level of each drum beat individually, and add or delete beats as needed. I would highly recommend this drum kit to use for home recording, as it is small and quiet, and the sound quality is excellent, and easy to mix if you use its midi function. In this case, I would suggest adding a usb-midi cable to your purchase (I didn't think of this at first, but later got one locally).

Good Price & Convenience

Bought this for a beginner mainly for convenience. Everything works well and is easily set up. Highly portable. For the price, the sound quality is good. Purchase if you’re looking to prioritize convenience and ease and if you want to try out an electric drum kit before making a commitment to buying a more expensive and complete kit. Would recommend for younger kids/teens, but definitely playable for all ages.

Foot pedals a bit dissappointment

Nice kit for practice, but more better use is to use this with DAW to record drum patterns on your own or drum fills rather than midi kb. The pedals are clumsy and especially bass drum needs lot of practice to get it right but it's hard. You may want to use something else or make DIY pedal from real bass drum pedal to get it right.

Good starter kit for kids

Bought this in 2018 for our kid who was born in the same year. Didn't start using it before 2019 or so, but since that it's been a nice little musical toy to play with. It could be better in some ways; the pads don't register the hits 100% certainly at times, the foot pedals occasionally register doubles for single push, etc. But in general and for the price, it's a very nice little box of beats. Good starter kit for small kid and nice toy for adult, too, at times. :)

Works pretty good for getting background beats while playing guitar etc, too.
