This kit is really not for pros unless you just use the trigger pads for additional sounds. If used as-is, this is for the beginner. I would have loved this kit when I was a kid, but nothing like this was available until many years later! Any serious drummer should use something like this as a tool, only or for practice when volume is an issue. Nothing will ever take the place of a real drum kit.

Sound
This little kit has some nice sounds for the price. I bought this kit for additional trigger pads and a few more imputs for my Alesis DM8 kit. I also used pieces of the rack to accomodate for the additional needed space for the extra pads and a seperate stand for the two modules which frees up space on the main rack. I don't use Rock Band, but it would be ideal for that, over some of the really cheap setups that come with Rock band.

Features
Again, for the price, you can't beat it. The rack is sturdy. The pedals are a bit cheap, but they work fine. It comes with a set of headphones and I was very surprised by the sound quality. I thought it would sound bad, but they sound as good as my more expensive set and they are much lighter. Try them before buying a pricier pair.

Ease of Use
This kit is a no brainer. Volume is the ony instrument adjustment controle. You can't adjust pitch, reverb, etc.

Quality
Quality is decent. I wouldn't beat the hell… read more out of it, but if you are a resonable drummer you will be OK. The rack is quite sturdy. The rack accessories. This is a beginner kit, so don't consider it for road use.

Value
I would have liked this kit to be a little less, but didn't have a problem paying what I did for what I wanted it for. I did find it for less at a different store, but Zzounds is always great about beating the price of a competitor, so look around for a lower price.

Manufacturer Support
I did contact support for my Alises kit (who makes Ion) and they took too long to connect, but they did answer my question successfully.
