I wanted to make sure to review this product because i couldn't find a review when i was looking.

I took the dive and brought this set because of the price range and the fact it has MIDI in and out.

Positives:
Pads respond very well to hits and velocity to Volume.
Frame is strong metal bars, some assembly required took me 30mins alone.
Foot pedals are light and react fast, not much pressure needed.
The sounds that the brain create are really good quality specially through monitoring headphones.
The midi works great with computer software. (delay in sound feedback is caused by additional midi interface not drum kit.)

Negatives:
In good quality headphones I can hear a radio station in the left ear very faint when not playing.
Through PC speakers the sound isn't loud enough and hiss is present when volume is full. same for basic headphones.
pedals need some rubber feet to stick to laminate and ceramic surfaces. they slide under foot pressure allot.

Over all I think this is a good buy for its price, the negatives can be overseen or fixed. some rubber pads from walmart or the hardware store will fix the pedals.

If you want to record and are just starting this is a good place to begin.
to record audio you need a cable.
to use MIDI controls you need a midi interface spend around $30 to $50 on this. the cheap don't give instant feedback.

I was looking for an inexpensive electronic drum set for my 13 year-old . I took my chances on the Pyle-Pro and was not disappointed. It was quickly shipped. Although it took a long time to assemble, it was not difficult (I am a 51 year-old woman). The realistic sound just amazed me. My son can also plug in his iPod using the little cable from his iDog, and play along to his downloads through the headphones. Having a small house, this set does not take up much space, and with his door shut, I barely hear a thing. Everyone is happy!

Purchased the pyle pro as a practice set and was very surprised at the quality of the set. The heads respond quite well in sound and feel. The foot pedals aren't bad.. kinda like the rock band pedals... they respond just fine. While you only get 10 drum styles to choose from, they all sound great (through the right speakers). The metronome isn't the greatest, but you can easily go out and purchase your own. This is a good drum set to even jam at home with your friends and to practice without disturbing anyone. Assembly wasn't too difficult, but it did not come with the dvd mentioned on the amazon website. I don't think you really need it though.

Overall I think its a great set to start off with. It offers everything you need to get started without blowing your bank.

The kit is built strong and has a good response on the heads, very much like a standard drum kit. Has a really good sound, bass drum and highhat sound realistic, and ability to use headphones has pleased the neighbors, ha ha! Over all i like this kit very much and think it is a good deal, thanks pyle!

this is a great drum set period, no matter what the name, what the price, it plays like a million bucks , thanks for another great deal.

I bought an cheap indoor outdoor mat and placed it beneath the rack mount that helps the whole kit stay in place....it's solid built but tends to slide around slightly, maybe cause its light weight which i'm not complaining about, its so easily broken down and transported way easier than any regular drums, i have often thought in changing instruments as i am usually the last guy setting up, this makes it soo much easier, i use this kit in clubs without any regrets.

The low rating has to do with what the title says. When I complained to Amazon about the missing items, they SHIPPED me another whole drum kit! (which I do not want and it does not have the items either) I also received an email from the manufacturer that they do not have stock now. These are important items to have when the gift is for a child. Amazon has been made aware of this so the website should be changed....if not then someone is responsible for false advertising!

I bought this electric drum set,it said it came with a instructional dvd. ther was no instructional dvd. I did not care for the sound of the drum kit so i was going to send it back but amazon could not find any order number for the drum kit i had bought, they said they would call me back to look into this.--- I never did get a call back. This was the first time I bought something from amazon and it will be the last time.
