Electronic Tabletop Digital Drum Set, Compact Portable Drum Pad Kit w/ 8 Touch Sensitive Pads and Pedals, 600 Sounds, USB & Headphone Outputs, MIDI/AUX Inputs, 4x5” Drums & 4x3.5” Cymbals

At first, I didn't really like this very much and was put off by how much space it took up on my desk. But after the 2nd day of playing it, it's a pretty awesome piece of equipment. The sounds it has are very good, at least upon going through and testing various kicks. It's a solid sounding instrument. It doesn't make too much noise in the headphone out, either, which is good for my recording purposes. I think there is definitely something to be said for actually playing drum parts for songs, as opposed to letting a drum machine or virtual drummer do it all for you. The part that I don't like about it is the midi aspect. When I plugged this into my computer via USB, I excepted it to be better than it was. This, to me, is probably the biggest downfall of the machine. It still plays drum sounds when plugged in, much like a midi interface even. Also, it is WAY too quiet when functioning as a midi controller. I don't know if this is Logic's drum plugin's fault or what, but I found it better to record the line out through the headphone jack. This is kind of a shame because I could edit the drum rhythm had it played well through midi, as well as quantize and add "swing" to the groove this way, aside from also choosing specific kits or drum sounds. I haven't completely given up on the midi functionality yet, but it does seem to be more functional using its own sounds. Overall, I think this is a really nice piece of equipment, and highly recommend it to anyone and everyone pretty much.

This is an amazing little Digital / Electronic Drum unit, especially for the price. I actually like some of the features on this more than some features of my more expensive Yamaha DD65 Electronic Drums. This is basically a less expensive option - though for me, I am using this unit to supplement my Yamaha DD65 Electronic Drums. I patch the Pyle-Pro PTED01 through my Yamaha DD65 unit and end up with a total of 19 Drum Pads (when playing both kits together) Even on its own, the Pyle-Pro PTED01 is really a nice little unit. Play through headphones or, patch through a stereo or PA system. I haven't had the problem with missed hits as some have mentioned but imagine it could be an occasional issue. One trick I use with these digital drums is to work the foot pedals with the heal of the foot instead of my toe. Takes some getting use to but works really well when playing double-bass. As with any compact digital drum unit, precision is key. Over time, you will become a very accurate drummer. This wasn't an issue with me as I use to play a lot of Rototoms. This unit has a variety of sounds to choose from and a hand percs option. Enjoy! The only negative remarks would be that some of the sounds do have a slight noise at the fade-out stage. Only really noticeable with headphones. I would like better mounting options per stand. But hey, for the price, this is pretty amazing! .

While this kit won't replace a higher end electronic drum setup, it offers some unexpected features we love. It also has drawbacks. My 11-year-old grandson has the summer off from his drum lessons, but wanted to practice regularly and learn some new songs. This set seemed the best bet for that and we are pleased. It didn't take him long to figure out how to use the controls to set the configuration he wanted and he especially liked the provided loops with timer that allowed him to quickly learn and play along with these relatively simple routines. That gave him a boost in confidence to try more complex things. Out of the box, we used the AC adapter to plug the unit into an outlet because we didn't have the necessary 6 C batteries on hand. Once we buy those he'll enjoy having the set more portable. I worried that it would be too loud and possibly annoying to listen to so I had some headphones on hand for him to use (you need ones with a fairly long cord to reach from the back of the unit under or around it thus out of the way and to the user), but we never plugged those in because it is more pleasant to listen to than expected and of course there are volume controls. We downloaded a song he knew onto my iPhone and started that so he could play along. He set the volume so it matched the playing song and did pretty well. His major complaint was that occasionally a drum head doesn't sound as it should which would distract his rhythm. You do need to hit them 'just so' to get the response. I guess when you're used to a full size kit, it's a bit awkward to hit these small pads consistently and in the right place. There are 'dead spots' at the edges of the pads and sometimes when he hit two pads at once in a faster riff, one might not sound. That might have been a product of his inexperience, but it's something to think about if you expect to use this kit for more than practice and play. As a listener, I thought the cymbals and some other sounds should have more reverb than they did, but that may be something you can set. There are a lot of options for settings. The thing that ended up entertaining us all for a long time and was totally unexpected was that in addition to the many choices for drum set sounds, there are over a hundred other sounds to choose from. Everything from explosions, thunder, various animal sounds, laughter, footsteps, a creaking door, an eerie scream to car sounds and convincing war sounds. You can set each pad and pedal separately and save the configuration just like you can with the drum set sounds, so my young drummer ended up creating sets to match stories he made up and then punctuated them in the telling with various sounds. That was a lot of fun. Bottom line: It was easy and fast to set the unit up initially using one of several preconfigured drum set combinations assigned to the pads and pedals that are pretty standard, I guess, as he was able to instantly identify which pad represented which corresponding drum set piece and was satisfied with the sounds, but I was amazed at the options available to set things up to suit specific needs. He had no trouble figuring out how to do this without the instructions and spent hours at it, making up stories to punctuate with sound effects as well as playing along with provided loops and demos and real songs playing on other media. If he sticks with his lessons he'll need a higher end set than this, but for now this is fine and decent value for the price.

We have been playing with this thing for 3 months and loving it. Sturdy unit with many sounds and features! Can be used for laying down professional tracks or jamming!! My 4 year old has just starting playing around using the demo songs and metronome he adjusts to his liking but does have his favorite. he is learning on his own i cant touch it when he has the sticks he counts along with it and has it and has it down he is teaching me now "LOL".. the pedals the bass and high-hat are right where you need them perfect sensitivity . Musicians and non musicians has spent time with ours and can not stop once they get started..its so easy exploring all the features i see unlimited creative possibilities ,many hours of fun well worth the price great product... studio quality sound very durable!! I haven't explored all the features as i get sidetracked just playing and having fun.. 1. Its easy 2. Its Fun 3. You will love it. No regrets here. Highly Recommend

Divertentissimo! Bello e facile da usare con un repertorio veramente vasto. E costa poco. Consiglio a tutti i percussionisti. 5 stelle

Worth the price. Sounds good

buena relación en precio, calidad y funcionabilidad, bueno para alguien que requiere practicar, pero además lo puedes conectar a tu pc o ipad (para ipad se requiere cable adaptador) para disparar sonidos de vst, y por cierto los sonidos incorporador algunos suenan bien y son decentes, por otra parte me di cuenta que este mismo digital drum kit es el que vende alesis y medeli a costos mas elevados

Excellent!! Gave this to my 9yr old son for Christmas... He was wanting a full size drum kit so compromised and purchased this one. The sound is excellent, it does so much! My son hasn't stopped playing and recording on it...plus the best bit, it takes headphones ;0)

Very well ... it delivers as promised! I'm happy with tis purchase, especially with the bass drum and hi hat pedal.
