Main Product Advantages
9 Mesh Drum Pads
The mesh heads are responsive and bouncy, similar to an acoustic set, and are very quiet, making the kit suitable for use in noise-sensitive environments.
8 Build Quality
The drum set is sturdy enough to handle regular use and can be folded up to save space. It provides a good feel similar to an acoustic set.
8 Value for Money
The electronic kit provides great value, especially for beginners. It offers decent sound quality and features for a relatively low price.
8 Portability
The drum set is portable and can be packed away easily, making it a good choice for those with limited space.
7 Sound Quality
The kit sounds great with a variety of realistic sounds for the bass, snare, crash, and hi-hat. However, some sounds and volumes are poorly balanced, which can be frustrating.
7 Practice Features
Includes useful features like a built-in metronome and an auxiliary input for playing along with external tracks, although the volume and sound quality could be better balanced.
6 Ease of Assembly
Putting the drum set together takes a bit of time and the instructions are not entirely clear. However, with patience and attention to detail, it can be assembled in about an hour.
