Feature:
The package I recieved came with everything needed to play except a seat,headphones, and a bass pedal. Drumsticks were included. The features of the product itself were very impressive with very comfortable playing pads and they are also very very responsive.
Quality:
This product is very durable and very reliable to work at full throttle whenever you need it to. The quality is very good with good pads and very good quality hardware. It seems like it will last a LONG TIME for me.....depending on how hard I play it. So far, it has taken all the hard playing of mine very well.
Value:
This product is absoutly a huge deal for it's price. This set can do so many things that the sets that costs in the thousands can do. IT IS A STEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Desirability:
The look of the set just begs you to play it all day long. The sleek black color of most of the set combined with the white color of the pads are a very appealing match and they make ANY room look WAY BETTER!!!!
Sound:
There are many different sounds to choose from for EVERY playing style that you can imagine.
Ease of Use:
The sound of the set is amazing and it provides you with a WIDE assortment of sounds for every single pad and cymbal. The manuel is very clear and the assembally manuel was very easy to follow.
Support:
I bought from ZZOUNDS so you know it was awesome!!! They helped me with ALL of my questions very quickly and the shipping was a very pleasing experience as well.
Overall:
I expect to be satisfied with this product for at least another 5 years and when i have more money and its time to buy another one i think i will go for a higher priced Roland electric set but until then i now that my AMAZING DM5 PRO KIT WILL GIVE ME ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING THAT I NEED AND MORE!!

Feature:
Again, lots of ways to customize. The rack allows for lots of options on where to place the triggers. I have a very "different" playing style, I am left handed but keep the kit set up mostly right handed. I play the hi-hat with my left and snare with my right. I have to keep the ride on the left side of the kit, and I like to keep the crash on the left as well. I'd have to take a picture, but with a little creativity I made it work.
Quality:
The rack is very solid. This is something I was also worried about, but all the parts are made of lightweight but strong materials. I play pretty hard, and I had worried about giving a beating to an electronic kit. After a couple days of beating on it my worries are gone.
Value:
I don't think you could get a better set for the price. Heck, I would have expected to pay more for the set than I did. Great quality and am overall very happy with it. I gave it an 8 our of 10...but really I should have given it a 9 out of 10. The ONE complaint I have about it is that the hi-hat pedal is a little weird for me. I don't know if its just a different feel than a real hi-hat or what, Its just different. But I thought I'd have many more issues than this! I'd recommend this set to anyone looking for a practice set or something to play in an apartment like me.
Desirability:
Looks great, thats really all I can say. Looks like a drum kit, not just a bunch of pads.
Sound:
The sound is great. Many ways to customize with the module. Never owned a electronic kit before, and I must say I was worried about the sound quality. I hooked it up to my computer speakers and it sounds great...I would imagine with an amp it would be much better.
Ease of Use:
The kit was very easy to set up. If I hadn't been taking my time I think it'd have been up and ready in less than an hour. The module has a great manual.
Support:
This is for zZounds as I haven't used the support for Alesis (although I've read its great as well). I ordered on the 15th of Oct from CA. The guy I talked to on the phone said it'd ship on the 16th and should be here in a few days (3-5). Boy was I suprised when UPS was ringing my doorbell the 17th with my new kit :D. Great jobs guys!!
Overall:
I am very happy that I went with this kit. I thought about paying around $1000 for a starter Roland kit. I really wanted the "synthetic" heads rather than just hard plastic. I stumbled upon this set, as $1000 was really out of my price range. I couldn't be happier. As I said before, the only reason I didn't give it a 9 out of 10 at the beginning is the hi-hat pedal. And that just may be me. Very happy with my purchase.
