delightful drums
By Zen Ko
I visited Guitar Centre to check some digital drums to add to my home studio. Luckily I met an experienced drummer (also a customer) in the shop who told me these were the best and also at a great price. I bought them on Amazon to save some money. I've now had them 3 weeks. No problems. Easy to set-up. Feels like I'm playing a real kit with the advantage that I can turn down the volume and not annoy the wife! I have not recorded them onto my studio tracks yet but so far they are great!!

a good set
By joel
So i just bought a dtexplorer and so far its been great. I have heard good things about them and needed an electric set to practice with to not disturb my room mates. The set feels great and sounds great. It has 32 pre set drum settings but i have only found that maybe 5 or 6 of them are actually useful, some of them are just weird but fun to play around with. If you need an electric set to practice i would highly suggest this set, because it sounds great and the price is right. Although if you are a professional and need one to record, or are in need of a really technical set this isnt for you. there are a few problems i have found so far. the first is that the hi hat peddle isnt very responsive but not too bad. another is that the lug nuts come loose now and again. other than that though the set is great.

By Jake Barnes
Living in an apartment in the city, I used to have a regular acoustic drum kit, but wasn't a fan of the neighbors, who called the cops on me more than once. I sold the kit and used the money to buy this electronic kit on the recommendation of a friend. I'm so glad I did! This is a great value for the money, and is perfect for apartment living. It's compact (taking up MUCH less space than the old acoustic kit), and even folds up if you need to stick it in a closet. It's got 32-preset kits, over 200 unique drum sounds, a metronome, pre-loaded songs (which you can remove the drum track or isolate the bass to play along with), and several unique features to help you improve your playing. The pads have a nice feel, with solid rebound, very similar to an acoustic kit. It even comes with a bass pedal -- a $70 value.You'll need an external amp to generate sound, but it also has a headphone jack if you want to jam into the night and not get a visit from the police. It has an aux input for a cd or mp3 player, so you can play along with your favorite songs as well.If you're a serious drummer, you're gonna want an acoustic kit. But this is a great practice kit, or a great kit for people who live in a city apartment (like me). I can't say enough about this kit. Great value, a great product.
