My son loves this. I bought this because my son wanted to try the drums at school. Before we invested in a years worth of lessons I wanted to see if he would really like them. He does. I would definitely buy this again.

I purchased this used and it still works great there are songs on it you can drum along to and it works amazing. I purchased it know that a drum set would take up too much space and this is only about 2 by 2..

My son is special and really wanted a drum set. Since he doesn't read and doesn't know music this was an "easy to get to know" choice. Also, he puts the head phones on and we don't hear his "music". We are so glad he loves his drum set.

I travel for work and have been searching for a nice affordable drum machine that I can take with me to lay down some base beats with all my guitar friends. This machine fit that need. I am impressed with the functionality and diverseness of the voices for such a small package. The pedals however leave a lot to be desired, they are a bit sticky at times and move allot...but I've worked around that by purchasing standard e'pedals from ebay. Other than the pedals, for the money this machine was well worth it, great for beginners as well without breaking the bank.

I was an avid drummer for many years but had to leave my drum set behind during a move and then got married, had kids, etc. etc. I wanted to start drumming again but didn't have the money to invest in a full set. This is an excellent product for beginning drummers, kids, and those like myself who just wanted to get their chops back before buying a full set. The response is excellent but as you can expect the functionality of the high-hat is very limited. I would recommend this product to anyone who wanted to try the drums and wasn't sure if buying a thousand dollar crash-ride was a smart investment just yet.

This has all the bells and whistles. Very good quality. A bit complicated for 11 yr old but he will grow into it. Sound is good, various songs/rythmns to play along with fun. I really recommend this product.

Overall these drums have great sound and durability for the price. I let my kids play them which is saying allot because I usually don't let them near my gear. The pads are solid and respond well. It definitely helps to strike in the center of the pad. It comes with a power pack which is a plus.

Christmas morning was a blast with this thing. Has a big sound, many different kits, songs you can play along with, recording function, headphones, foot pedals, etc. The hi-hat pedal can 'open' & 'close' the high-hat while you hit the corresponding hi-hat pad.

Deducted 1 star due to responsiveness. It's like a set of fancy practice pads, understandible. But you sort of need to hit the pad towards the center with pretty good force sometimes, I couldn't really figure out why it seemed less responsive sometimes. Not a deal breaker by any means.

It seems so-so for training kids how to play the drums. Probably good for learning basic rhythms, etc. It may work ok ofr a small band thing. I plan to try recording some drum beats to import into my computer for composition (I believe it has a USB out).

I had fun on it. I like the headphones. It can go pretty loud too -- I was very surpised at the nice sound on this little thing!

My Grandson loves his drum set,just exactly what he wanted. I told him to show it to me and I was amazed at how well made it seemed to be and how it worked and sounded so good.

This is a excellent option for those people that need to learn play a drum. Is easy to use and have a very complete group of options. Cons: The pedals response is not good than the reponse of the pads.
