A totally awesome drumming experience !!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Yamaha DD50AD Touch-Sensitive Digital Drums with AC Adapter (Electronics)
As a drummer, I was a bit skeptical about a small electronic drumset for my son to learn about playing the drums. Well the DD50 showed me the light !! This high quality, lightweight unit was more than I could ask for. A couple of its 7 pads are a bit small, but after practicing awhile, you never notice. It has a multitude of sounds and ryhthms which our entire family enjoyed listening to. The 2 foot pedals make it a much more realistic drumming experience. I highly recommend the DD50 for all new and experienced drummers.. And, as a plus for parents..It has a headphone jack that makes this a nice "quiet time" activity...

Great for the young musician,
By "jas@pclink.com" (Plymouth, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Yamaha DD50AD Touch-Sensitive Digital Drums with AC Adapter (Electronics)
I agree that this is a terrific drumset for a young musician. My 12-year-old plays piano, guitar, and a regular drumset, but his drum practicing was not always music to the family's ears! (Not bad, but too loud!)We gave him this Yamaha digital set for Christmas, and he loves it. I originally ordered the less expensive Yamaha set (DD9), but returned it because it was so small and seemed more like a toy than an instrument. My son was thrilled to open the DD50, and it has turned out to be a very good choice. It makes a variety of realistic sounds, and the two foot pedals (bass drum and high hat) allow him to simulate playing his real drum set. He's getting in a lot more practice time on the drums now, and sounds pretty good, even when he's not using headphones! I'd recommend the Yamaha DD50 to anyone looking for a reasonably priced drumset that makes real music.

Fun to play, but not quite sensitive enough,
By Jolyn M Safron (Hurley, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Yamaha DD50AD Touch-Sensitive Digital Drums with AC Adapter (Electronics)
The drum machine is fun to play, and with the two foot pedals, I can pretend I'm playing a real drumset. I enjoy having all 100 sample songs to play along with, and I like being able to choose which parts play (drum 1, drum 2, bass, and backing). My only gripe with the sample songs is that while there are plenty of examples of rock music, there are not enough (or no) examples of some other types of music (folk, blues, alternative).The drum pads do not always trigger if you hit them too lightly. I would expect them to play very quietly if you hit them softly, but you have to hit them fairly hard to make a sound. There is a way to adjust the sensitivity, but even with the highest sensitivity, it is not sensitive enough for me. Also, the bass drum pedal has no sensitivity at all. No matter how hard or soft you kick it, it plays the same volume.
