"Very Nice Buy for Compact Drum Set"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
For purposes of getting the "idea" of drumming - this is a very good product. Kids have enjoyed experimenting with it...a lot.
Sound
For this product, I think that the sound is pretty good. It's hard to have top notch sound with a portable piece of equipment at this price.
Features
For learning purposes, I think this product has great features. It gives the learner the opportunity to hear/play different combinations of drums. The ability to plug in an iPod is a nice feature.
Ease of Use
Pretty easy to use. Takes some getting used to which settings play which sounds - but all-in-all fairly easy.
Quality
Appears to be of very good quality for a beginner intrument.
Value
Competetive pricing and zzounds is willing to beat the competitor.
Manufacturer Support
I had trouble with the headset that came with the unit. Support quickly offered to replace the headset (shipped next day), and pick up shipping for the returned/defective item.
The Wow Factor
Practical for a compact item. If I could change the design, I would make the pads bigger.
