The set is perfect until the girls show that they're ready to move up to a traditional floor set.
Sound
I purchased this electronic drum set as a Christmas gift for my two granddaughters, but my son and I have been chasing them away so we can use it. Back in the day, I played in a garage band (we're talking 45 years ago here) and owned a set of Pearls so I know what good sound quality is. This low=priced set comes remarkably close to the real thing.
Features
For parents, the most useful feature are earphones. The girls can bang away all they want without annoying anyone else.
Ease of Use
Controls provide a surprisingly broad range of tones. Easy to assemble, easy to use.
Quality
Because the set has been in use for only a couple of weeks we don't know how reliable it will eventually prove.
Value
The set was purchased as a toy, but it is far better than that and I caught it during a pre-holiday sale for $30 less than I found it online anywhere else. A huge bargain as far as I'm concerned.
Manufacturer Support
Have not had any problems that required contacting the company.
The Wow Factor
Fun quotient is off the scale.

Musical Background:

Amateur wanna'-be back in the day on drums, guitar.
