   This set is is really impressive especially for the price
   I kind of rolled the dice on this set.I bought it just to learn. It is sturdy and well designed. All of the many assorted kit sounds are great sounding and there are many helps built into the module to to help with practice: songs in a range of styles, built- in programmable metronome, coaching games , you can even record your sessions. I don’t often review leave a review on my purchases but I think this product really deserves your consideration. I hope Donner continues to innovate and offer great musical products with more than reasonable prices!

   Nice Kit!
   Just got my kit a couple of days ago. This is my first electronic drumkit. I’m an old school acoustic drummer, but I hadn’t played acoustic kit in many years. I got tired of being concerned about bothering neighbors when practicing, so I broke down and ordered this kit. This is the only the 2nd electronic kit I’ve played. At first I couldn’t get one of the crash cymbals to work, but now all cymbals work.This kit came with drum sticks, drum pedal, drum key, and a throne. Never seen a kit come with so much. Setup was pretty easy. I’m still figuring out how to fine tune everything from the module, but it feels good to be playing again.

   Solid drum set – perfect for student drummer
   This drum set was a Christmas gift for our 7 y.o. son. He had been taking lessons for about 6 months using pans and pot lids to practice. We decided to save and splurge on this set when he started practicing on his own and asked us repeatedly to play his favorite song to drum with.The set up took my husband about 3 hours. Longer than expected but it was also late on Xmas Eve and we were both exhausted. It’s pretty sturdy yet compact. You are able to expand and contract the legs of the drum set to fit your space. All drums and cymbals can be adjusted according to height. My kid also loves playing around with the various sounds. He spent about 2 hours cycling through them to find his favorites. We have yet to link to a phone or MP3 to play along with but will be doing that soon.A few areas of improvement are (1) headphones broke within first 4 days of use – one side had no sound so removed one star. (2) The bass drum needs a rubber pad or rug underneath it or it will scratch up your floors. (3) There seems like a missed opportunity to add a small music stand to the back bar. Right now we have a painting easel holding up music behind the set.Overall great set and great price with just some minor issues. My kid can also practice drums without disturbing everyone in the house.

   Buyer beware!
   Where to begin? I’ve been a drummer for over 50 years, but I’ve never used either a rack system or an electronic drums. I assumed this would be akin to my rubber practice pads. Very much not so. The new drum heads are very responsive, even more so than the pickup can handle at times. I have the snare pretty tight for good bounce, but the pickup has trouble with rolls. This snare also has a pickup on the rim so it kind of does rim-shots. Playing stick-on-the-head type quiet rims sounds pretty good. The hi-hat might just be too sensitive, as it sometimes makes random sounds when my foot is holding it down and I’m not striking it. I love the fact that I can plug my MP3 player into the module and pipe that and the drum sounds through the headphones. Donner customer support is lagging at this point. I was hoping for a little quicker response for new setup, but I will probably, eventually figure it out myself. Some of my issues might just be system limitations, like the drum roll issue. Maybe a bad pickup. All-in-all, and especially considering the price, it’s a good compromise. It took some time to learn the programming system, like to get the hi-hat to sound right, but they give you several pre-programmed sound styles, as well as one you can customize to your own tastes. As I’ve not played in about 8 years, it’s going to take time to get myself back up-to-speed, but I think this is going to work. There is also a USB port to connect the module to a computer and coordinate with other musicians on-line!Update: Just a word of warning; there is apparently no customer support with Donner. I have sent several emails with questions, none of which have been replied to. Caveat emptor!Update: I did finally receive a response from Donner, but the responder seems not to have much knowledge about drums. I get the impression that they are running out the 30-day return clock.Buyer beware: Donner just advised me that they don’t accept my Amazon order number for warranty purposes. They won’t even respond to direct questions about the kit that I bought. It looks like my only option is going to be to send it back and go elsewhere.I just received an email from Donner advising that they only offer warranty support for items purchased directly from their web site. So I’m stuck with the partially-defective snare drum unless I want to return the whole kit. Buyer beware!

   Grandsons Christmas present
   My grandson told me the set was easy to assemble and it is more than he expected. He likes the drums and said they sounded great.

   La batería está muy bien por el costo, el único problema que le veo es que el banco que viene es algo pequeño, y los audífonos que incluye son pésimos

   Voy a consdensar aquí mi review de esta batería ya que creo que falta uno completo para los que aún no se decidieron siendo lo más breve posible pero no dejando nada fuera.Soy un baterista avanzado que toca hace 15 años, para quien logicamente hoy la batería es un hobby y una desconexión de la seriedad de la vida adulta. Mi intención entonces fue buscar una batería buena que me permita divertirme tocando sobre pistas en casa y grabar algún esporádico track. Para resumir: con esta intención en mente, creo que compré lo mejor en su rango de precio.Tuve anteriormente una Yamaha de gama media/alta. Hay diferencias? Si, claro, en todos los aspectos. Pero hay que leer este review en mente teniendo en cuenta que pagué 369EUR con una oferta Flash (modelo con 4 platillos), y que aún a su precio regular de 429EUR para mi la relacion precio prestaciones sigue siendo buenísima. Esta batería compite con Alesis, baterías que he probado, y ofrece mejores prestaciones por menor precio, ya que no pagas la prima de una marca un poco más establecida. Entonces vamos al grano:-Empaquetado y armado: viene todo dividido en cajas rotuladas, trae repuestos de mariposas por si la perdes, y todo muy bien explicado en el manual. Si ya armaste alguna batería electronica, no te va a llevar más de media hora.Aquí encontré al tomar el redoblante, que había ruido de algo suelto adentro. El cuerpo se abre, y al abrirlo encontré que la cabeza de un tornillito se había quebrado y estaba suelta. Al no presentar problemas en el sonido ni moverse la pieza que sostiene, procedí con el armado. Sucede con una Yamaha o Roland? no, pero posiblemente tampoco con todas las Donner. Un detalle menor al que estaré atento a futuro.-Estabilidad: algunos hablan de que es inestable, le he pegado duro y la batería no se mueve si ajustas bien todo, de hecho es muy comoda y se le puede dar buena altura. Esto para mi la hace mejor que otras de su precio (por ejemplo las DB Drums para quienes sean de Latinoamerica)-Los cuerpos mesh andan barbaro, se les puede regular bien la tension para finarlos y tener rebote mas acorde al gusto de cada uno. El redoblante es doble sona y el aro buena muy lindo. Los platillos tienen choke, son doble zona y andan muy bien. La sensibilidad se regula, y he tocado sobre estandares de jazz con mucho rebote como sobre temas de punk rock sin ningun tipo de problema honestamente incluso en fills rápidos.-El pedal del hi-hat es a presion, no esperen una sensibilidad espectacular, pero cumple su funcion. El pedal del bombo, que es un pedal real que golpea un cuerpo, es por supuesto, malo para un batero experimentado. Esperaba algo mejor por menos de 400EUR? no, para nada. Para un principante posiblemente esté perfecto, y de todas formas, se puede cambiar perfectamente por el pedal que cada uno guste (cosa que haré pronto).Lo unico malo del pedal de bombo es que el soporte del pad es muy largo para atras, por lo que si armas contra una pared, la bateria debe quedar bastante separada por esta extension.-Sonido y modulo: correcto, tiene click, algunos temas pre grabados para tocar encima (que curiosamente, tienen pista de bateria… lo cual me disgusta), y variedad de pre sets que son todos customizables en volumen y sonido. Honestamente, no voy a tocar nada, con los que trae hay variedad de sonidos decentes y fieles.-Accesorios: acá tampoco esperaba mucho más, pero les voy a ahorrar tiempo. Los auriculares son un desastre total, los que recibí yo incluso tienen un falso contacto de un lado y el sonido va y viene, pero aún si eso no sucediera suenan horrible. Con lo cual si metes la bateria en el carrito, mete tambien unos buenos auriculares. La banqueta es bastante mala tambien, pero se deja usar si se la trata con cariño. Hasta que se rompa, no compraré otra.En resumen: tiene las limitaciones que tiene cualquier batería de este rango de precio, pero al mismo precio esta trae un platillo más, una banqueta aceptable, y pedal de bombo real. Le pongo 5 estrellas a pesar del tornillo suelto, y de detalles como los auriculares (que jamas esperaba fueran buenos) porque pienso que por su precio, entrega muchisimo a un batero experimentado que la quiera para divertirse en casa. Es una bateria para tocar en vivo todos los fines de semana, o para grabar un LP? sirve, pero posiblemente no sea lo ideal. Para quienes el uso que yo le doy se corresponda con sus intenciones, la recomiendo ampliamente (más si la encuentran en oferta como yo)Espero que les sirva

    This is an extremely high quality Drum Set which enables a music-obsessed teenager to learn in great detail how to play the drums excellently well. Because the whole kit is electronically connected, the sounds are heard through the player headphones and there is minimal noise (only quiet taps) heard by others nearby. It is relatively easy to assemble but takes a while due to the large number of connected parts,I am delighted with the superb quality of this instrument and my drum-playing grandson is very happy and completely satisfied with the ease of use of this drum kit, which is bothy great value for money and.contains a very solid beautiful metal set of footpads. The electronics connections are superb.I unhesitatingly recommend this drum ket to other buyers because it exceeds all my expectations and the those of the happy recipient and his parents

    There is a special tool to tighten the bolts that hold the frame together. Locate that BEFORE you start putting the kit together.The instructions are for setting up the kit for a right-handed drummer. If you’re left handed, you need to do the inverse of everything in the instruction sheet.
