VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: Most of the basic acoustic/rock/jazz/funk sounds are usable out of the box, though some of the kits are ludicrous. There's plenty of tweakability, though, so if you don't like something (head tension, decay, detuning etc.) you can fix it. I like the pad feel just fine, though I'm not an expert as to how real drums should feel. Feature: This is the cheapest all-inclusive e-drumkit out there, so you can't fault it for not having every bell and whistle. I haven't begun to explore all the features in the brain, but I'm an electronics idiot. I like the II series upgrades: the double-braced rack, the big bass pad, the 2-zone cymbal pad and, in particular, the 3-zone snare. I only wish the other cymbal pad was dual-zone. Quality: I'm judging again based on price point. For $999, you'd be hard pressed to find something better. Of course, the rubber pads will crap out over time. They work fine right now. Fit and finish on the rack is great-very sturdy. The hihat pedal looks like it comes from Yamaha's more expensive kits. The brain looks fragile, but don't they all. Watch those sticks. Value: Hey, it's $200 cheaper than the V-club and has a better rack. Rubber pads are rubber pads. If you're in an apartment with thin walls like me, you should check it out. Manufacturer Support: No comment The Wow Factor: The orange accents are sexy. Overall: Yamaha seems to have heard people's complaints about the first DTX and made the appropriate changes (esp. headphone output volume), without raising the price. Kudos. For the III series, may I recommend another 2-zone cymbal pad?>

Overall: Bought this kit recently, mainly for practice purposes and I have to say that it exceeded my expectations. Even though you may feel you lack a sound or two (which input 9/10 could remedy) it is perfect for me.

"fold up drum set that is 100 times smaller than all of the drum sounds this set produces from its sound brain." submitted May 15, 2003

Sound: include an amp and speaker set up that matches the set (or have an optional accessory amp and speaker set with a discount with the purchase of the set) find one that produces good quality sound at an economical price. PA. amp speaker combos seem to sound the best. Mine cost &120.00 and sounds reasonallbly good.Also keyboard amp speaker combo's sound equally good. Feature: picture showed a kick pedal but it is not included had to shell out 120 more to get going. a least retailer should mention this and offer one at a discounted for the consumer who purchases this set. some free stick would be nice as well. Quality: no bad comments on quality everything was of high qualiity materials. Value: well worth the asking price except no kick pedal The Wow Factor: Very sexy look simple and nice color frame, ugly wires are exposed. Corrigated wire conduit would be just as ugly. My recomendation is to have hollow tubes welded along side the main frame with a split opening to tuck the wires into, these should be painted the same color as th main frame.
