I love zZounds!! Ordered this set on Thurs at 2pm. 14 hours later I was unpacking it. Free ground shipping, but I'm in New England. I wouldn't expect for the west coast. Been playing for over 50 years and now I'm in an apartment, so I needed to make an adjustment. These are definitely going to take some getting used to. The head response is kind of weird. That will take care of itself when I'm ready for a profession level kit. I HATE the snare location. I normally played it between my legs in right in front of the 1st tom like most drummers. This site to the left and just below the 1st tom. I also have to figure a way to lower the volume on the bass. Much too loud and it's not like I can throw a pillow in there. Even though it's my first set, I don't see how you could get and better bang for your buck. Took one half hour from opening the box to hitting my first shot. BIG WOW!!! I can't wait to see what I'll get when I'm ready to pop for $1K or more.

Sound
So many different sounds available, but so far very realistic. Wish I could choke the ride and crash

Features
It's a basic set so there are basic features. For almost all players this is a first/starter set. Betters sets will have better features.

Ease of Use
within an hour I was playing along with all sorts of different styles.

Quality
I seems to be very well constructed but I wouldn't consider it to read more be too portable. If your going to move it make sure you fold it up as tightly as you can.

Value
This is an amazing price point for what you get. I haven't seen too many top tier brands offering this much for such an affordable price.

Manufacturer Support
Haven't need Alesis yet but they have a great reputation so I have no worries yet.

The Wow Factor
Well it's my 1st electronic set so I'm just very impressed with the technology. It should not be considered a toy at all. I might even suggest it as a great beginners set before making the move to acoustic.If the newbie doesn't take to drumming at least you're not out $600+.

Musical Background:
50+ years Former professional now gig for fun.

Musical Style:
Pretty much anything except opera and classical.
