Really great kit
Was a little worried when I bought this as the price compared to other brands e kits of this size but I am very pleasantly surprised with this kit. The drum and cymbal sizes especially the cymbals is great for someone who has always played acoustic kits! It seems to trigger very well so far haven’t noticed much issues. The hit hat sometimes mistriggers but you get that with any e kit. The on board sounds aren’t great but decent enough just for practicing. But if you do what I do and trigger it with ez drummer or another plugin it’s amazing. Overall this kit blows anything in its price tag out of the water considering most e kits at this price don’t even have a hit hat on a proper stand.

Excellent kit - would recommend.
For the money - and this is the important thing - "for the money" this is hard to beat. I would say impossible, actually. Firstly, the build quality is good/ok. The original hi-hat caused problems and I had to get a new one - Thomann, as always have excellent customer service, and sorted this very quickly. The problem was a broken screw-fixing at the bottom of the stem which meant that the hats just span round and round - annoying. The hardware is reasonably solid - the screws feel a bit cheap and thin in places, but do the job well enough and the drums all sit and stay where they should. It is very playable - the heads give great feedback, have different zones and sounds, and the cymbals have a real weight to them - maybe too much - the hats especially can feel quite clunky and heavy to open quickly. The sounds are great. I cannot complain with the range of sounds - and in fact am happy with the default studio kit and never move away from it. Everything is customisable inside the module. The module itself is confusing, however - and it took several videos on YT to try and work out the "infamous hi-hat chick" problem. I still haven't managed to get the hats to respond to my exact taste with opening and closing (half-open sounds and range of movement) but I am sure it is doable with more playing around. The module is fully bluetooth compatible and even mixes in a line-in signal so that another digi-kit can be run through it. At our music school - we run backing tracks AND another teaching kit through the module - all mixed nicely so the student can hear all three things. It looks awesome - that is part of the reason we bought this one - the students love it. Time will tell if it holds up to full-time usage at a music school - but at the moment - I recommend this kit. We would buy this again.

Practice and Recording Kit
This E-drum is a great practice kit and recording kit for demo's.
I'm a guitarist and singer at first but i like to record my demo's. Rather than mapping the drums i like to play the thing, much easier and faster than putting up the mic's for an acoustic kit.
For the money you get what you buy but it's sturdy and does the job. (i'm not using the internal sounds i use addictive drums 2) With some iPad app's i'm also learning how to drum better.
So that's my two cents hope it helps.
