Excellent

For a starter e drum set this is an excellent choice. I have used this set in anger on an outside gig and it worked perfectly through a large PA, could do with better sound choices but overall I can't really fault it.

Great for beginners living in an apartment building

I have bought the set earlier this year and I must say that it's excellent (at least for my needs). I am a beginner, living in an apartment building and I was searching for something compact, good sounding and fairly priced. This set fit the bill. The set is solid, haven't had any problems with setting it up and it's a blast playing on it. The sounds are great and quite diverse, but of course you need a good source for it (I went for the Audio-Technica ATH-M20 X). The android app provides a lot of customization, so you can set it up at your preferences. It has a very entertaining Challenge section for each of the style presets. One thing though will be to include some type of teaching section for people who cannot afford to spend time and money for lessons. The hi-hat pedal can be used as a second kick pedal, however the feel is not the same, so I might upgrade to a double in the near future. The kick pedal that comes with the set is really good in my opinion though. A second crash cymbal might also come handy. All in all a great kit for people that need great sound and nice feel on a fair price.

Looks kinda cheap but the quality is real.

When I unpacked it I was a bit underwhelmed by the feel of the triggers (they are thin and not very impressive looking.) But that's the catch of most cheaper e-drums, Some look awesome with mesh pads and all but then the triggering and the sounds are less impressive. I'd rather have it the other way around like with this Yamaha dtx 452. The sounds are excellent, it triggers well and the module has interresting features typical of Yamaha stuff. Get the ones with the bass drum pedal (432 or 452). The toms are mono which reduces the possibilities but then the price is right for what it is. Very compact! and is more solid than it first look. Can't go wrong with Yamaha. I own a good few Yamaha products and I have never been dissapointed.
