After 30 years, I gave in and tried electronic

I play with a duo and with 3 bands. I finally got wore down with people complaining about the drums being too loud with my duo. I'm not even a loud player but people love to find something to complain about. I did a lot of research and decided to give this kit a try. That ended up being a great decision. It folds down easily so it can ride standing up in the back of my Suburban. The rack is plenty sturdy enough for me. The mesh heads are great. The supplied kick drum pedal actually works great. I built my own kit from the supplied module sounds and I love it. I had only intended to use it for the duo but I use it for everything except bigger shows. For the price, I can't recommend this kit highly enough. It's a great kit. Thus far, my only con is that the kick and hi hat pads drop out, don't reproduce all of the strikes, on occasion but I can live with that. I bought this kit thinking that, if I didn't like it, I had 45 to take it back. That was 3 months ago. I love this kit.

I bought this drum set and I can tell you it's a piece of cr

First of all I got it with the extra symbol but the snake is not able for that and it came with a bent bass drum bar. So the bass drum bar moves as soon as you hit the bass drum and the snare drum rim shot is louder than an actual hit on the snare

    I've had this kit a little over 10 months. When it works, it's great. As stated before, the hi hat and kick drop out intermittently but has gotten worse. The snare has completely quit working. Guitar Center is no help. Alesis and InMusic warranty is a joke. Just a big runaround.

    I'm very impressed with this setup. The module contains so many presets and songs, that it will take months and years to go through all of them. Assembly was a snap and so far I am very pleased with the sound and sensitivity of the mesh pads. The red color accents add some nice color but I'd have been fine with gray or another neutral tone. Amazing kit given the low price. Melodics trial for 30 days, is being presented as only 7 days when I signed up. Midi control for that program and my PC do not work (the trial subscriptions were 100% worthless in my opinion and I wich the company would do something to restore faith in their third party vendor associates).
