Ion Audio iDP01 2-Drum Pad Expansion Kit with Hardware

Feature:
You can create different "drum sets" and create different sounds for each of the pads. I owned the original Ion, which comes with 5 pads, the additional 2 for a total of 7 percussion choices.

Quality:
Came in excellent condition.

Value:
Hey, I'm no drum expert - just wanted to play along with music and "beat on my drum all day" kind of guy. If that's who you are, you can't beat this item!

Desirability:
It looks good. You have to put up with wires, but that's expected.

Sound:
Sound also depends on you amp or receiver. I plugged mine into 38 watt and the output is fine. You can also program each pad to give different outputs of volume. I set mine between 80 - 95 for a good bang.

Support:
I haven't needed any support (yet?).

Overall:
I'll keep this product for awhile. It meets my musical needs. I don't plan to advance to a higher level in drum playing.

Feature:
I wish it came with a bass drum pad so the drummer can accent his / her playing, maybe a cheapo real kick pedal to hit a pad mounted low. Knowone can produce a real cymbal so what you have is good enough.

Quality:
I think I am going to wear out the hardware plastic parts, but I will upgrade myself using stainless steel and a welder from work.

Value:
The price is good for the quality, I think you could justify a higher price for better hardware, but thats only hardware, the sound is pro.

Desirability:
Sex appeal ? I dont know about that, I guess women like to watch and hear a drummer.

Sound:
The drumkit is a well thought and pre programmed set. The company really did take the time to add the small things drummers like, you can tell they used pro drummers before they programmed it. I love em ! I have been on conventional for 35 years and with these you cant beat the sound they put out, the cymbals, hi hat and bass drum foot switches that are sold with it are ok but the best set up would be a speed kick pedal hitting a pad and using real high value cymbals, from my stand point the snare, bass and toms are awsome, and no company will ever be able to produce a cymbal digitally produced, you need the real thing there. Overall, I would endorse / recommend to any drummer the ION set, the bonus is the earphones, to play where ever and when ever you want. Way to go ION ! Jim B, Atlantic County NJ

Ease of Use:
Very easy set up, tear down.

Support:
I had a bad input / output control panel, a guy from service had my question answered in a minute.

Overall:
I will upgrade myself, build up on the frame and add real high quality cymbals.
