"Good for the price - is great for practice - isn't top quality, but what can you expect in this price range"

Feature:
The rack system and parts aren't going to win in a "tuff" contest, but do their job. The kick pedal, hardly can call it a kick pedal.......is the weakest link in this set. It isn't very accurate and will "double kick sometimes". I wanted a double kicker anyway, so I bought a kick trigger to work with my double pedal. This made the set about 10 times better. The pads are actually pretty nice. They have good response to them and have a good rebound.

Quality:
It isn't close to the best electronic drum set, but what can you expect for $250-$300? For the price there really aren't any other electronic sets out there. This will get get the job done and is pretty fun to play.

Value:
Don't expect a top of the line roland set....how could you for how cheap this set is priced. If you are like me and don't have much extra $$$, this set will do it's job. It is great for practice if you don't have room for a real drunm kit to be setup. Also, it is great if you have neighbors that don't care for a constant 4/4 beat!

Desirability:
It's not going to win any beauty contests, but it gets the job done.

Sound:
For the price, the sound quality is pretty good. It has the alesis drum brain... There aren't a million drum sounds, but enough to get a good basic drum set sound.

Ease of Use:
This is VERY easy to set up. The drum machine takes some time to get used to, but that is the way they all are.

Support:
Don't know, never have called for support.

Overall:
This set is good for people who want to learn how to play the drums or just have to practice with. I don't think they are very gig worthy, but could be used. For the price, you don't have many options in this price range. That being said, if this is all you can afford, go for it. You will want to upgrade the kick pedal, believe me!

"Great kit, worth every penny. Must find better kick pedal."

Feature:
The ONLY flaw this kit has is the foot pedals. When used as a bass pedal they double tap while playing sometimes which really bugs when you are playing a good song. Its got everything you need to start playing. It would be nice if they included another pad assembly for a floor tom. It certianly is no toy. The module looks small in the pics, but its a good 9 inches wide. It can produce almost any kit you can think of. The pads are tap sensitive. If you hit softer, they play softer. If you hit them hard, they sound hard. The bars that hold it togeather are metal and its real sturdy. Definitly a good sounding kit.

Quality:
I can't complain, I got the kit for a great price. It would be nice if the clamps that hold the frame togeather were metal. The plastic ones work fine, but that extra strength wouldn't hurt. The pads are built strong and will last a long life of pounding.

Value:
This kit is the best value for the money. You won't find a better kit for the price. With an investment in a better foot pedal, this kit can keep up with the best of em.

Desirability:
Its a real basic setup. Its not breath taking, but it gets the job done.

Sound:
It really does sound good. For what it is and the cost, I would buy another again if I had to. There are many different sounds of drum kits that are easy to find and use. Its a very strong sounding kit and it sounds great.

Ease of Use:
Its very easy to use. Other then the pedals, I am sure you can replace one with a Alesis DM5 Pro pedal. This kit plays along real easy and is very accurate with a real acoustic drum kit. You can play fast, slow and it picks up the sound fine.

Support:
I sent the website 2 emails in the last week and haven't herd squat. Also the ion forum is down and is never working.

Overall:
I will play this kit until it breaks beyond repair, while taking care of it of course. I plan on getting an Alesis DM5 Pro kit when I upgrade from this one.
