Cheaply made... module doesn't like staying on .the kick mechanism (I USE MECHANISM very LOOSELY TOO~~SUX Cheap....) But it was bought for my 4 yo so...He's gonna destroy it anyway..I've played them they DO have good sounds when the module stays on....I would send them back but the boxing is so frigging complicating It's not worth the trouble....In me opinion if you're gonna buy alesis go to the one that's 20 bucks more and has a kick pad not the thing that's was 399 get the one that's 419...or a real acoustic set......
