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

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.

Very easy set up, tear down.

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.

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.

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

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

I would say the sound is what I expected. The response is excellent, it responds to heavy to light hits. I've never owned a drum set but played on my friends real sets. This is better in my opinion

The kit comes with everything except a seat. Don't forget to buy one. The knobs are a little brittle. I've broken two now from over tightening the the screws. Luckly they come with extra.

Very easy to set up and use. I was playing 40 minutes after I opened the box.

The quality is what I expected. I know I wasn't buying a Yamaha, or Roland set. Thats not to say my expectations where low. It a very good kit and I'm having a blast playing it everyday.

It's a great value. I would highly recomend this kit to anyone that is wanting a kit to play around with.

I haven't needed any support for it so I'm not sure how there CS is.

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.

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.

Came in excellent condition.

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!

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

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

sounds crisp and clean and the sound quality is much more than i expected.i wonder how much abuse the pads will take over time? the preprogrammed drums are ok,but where this set shines is being to customize each pad to fit your needs.

as far a customizing the drum machine, it's so fast and easy that it makes finding new sounds enjoyable.the manual great i think i only read it 3 or 4 times while setting up,and never had to use it again.

the 1 thing i wish is that the set was less ridged .trying to adjust the pads to fit me can be difficult .i find my self adjusting to the set.i think the pads on a ball swivel would be better than the current style.it does fold up and travel easy.still don't have that wing nut problem solved,metal is great but to small.how about sending all new wing nuts to those of us who have a bunch of broken plastic one. the kick petals could use some work too.

all in all it's the best value on the market

i have not contacted the company,but they have me warranty slip with my address. they admitted the plastic was a bad idea.the right thing to do is to send us the new metal wing nuts with having to call and complain. i doubt that will happen so i guess i'll be calling them soon.

it's ugly as h### ,but fun to play,cheap,and easy to hall around.

Have been playing the set for over a year now and I am amazed at the sound and versatility this kit has. The hardware could be a little more durable and pads a litte bigger but what do you expect for the price. The portability and being compact makes it easy to set up and takes up very little space. Whatever sound you are looking for is there!! No tuning or breaking skins and don't break sticks is a bonus. I us it witha mini bass amp when playing by myself and it sounds great!!

The initial startup kit gives you a good start to see if this is for you. The option of adding four more pads will you enough to complete your kit.

Very simple to use. Just read the manua. It is pretty self explanitory.

Could use heavier hardware with metal clamping instead of plastic. The knuckles on the pad mounts could be a little more versatile with more grooves to obtain more angles and stay secure.

Well worth the money asked.

In the process of buying the extra pads.
