I did my research before buying this kit and I got to test it out at guitar center. For the price you can’t beat it mesh heads you can always change the kick towe later down the road, you can add another Tom or cymbal. If your using this kit for practice I would recommend this kit or for the studio you can always download sounds online. But it took me 30 minutes to setup easy to setup. This kit is great for learning new chips playing along tracks or if you just wanna jam. I tweak some of the sounds I didn’t like which is very easy. I love the mesh pads I can practice as late as I want at night without disturbing the peace. Make sure you have good studio monitors or Drum monitor and good 1/4 cable. I love this thing doesn’t take up too much room I would recommend this to anyone who wants to practice or have fun! This kit is with the money I almost spent 900 on a Roland but this work just fine. Don’t hesitate to get this it’s worth the money

First of all, zZounds is fantastic.It arrived safely in only two days. Their customer service is absolutely top-notch. As for the kit as someone who has only played for writing, I’ve always wanted actual kit and to learn to apply myself and play better. I had low expectations for this kit to begin with, but lo and behold it’s quality is amazing.The features that they do not advertise, or fly under the radar are amazing. The module can be used separately as a drum machine. You can record, you can learn, it has everything. The sound is equivalent of a mid-level drum set or entry-level Pearl.I might be returning it but not because I am unhappy with it but rather playing with this kit has convinced me to buy the more expensive one because of bigger pads. I’m 6’1 and this is a small kit. Again it is not being returned because I don’t like it...it’s being returned because I love it and I’m sold on the $800 kit. Quite frankly if I had the money I would spend the 1200 for the top-of-the-line Alesis. I’ve only played it for about an hour and I am in love with it. I’m running it through a bass head and a 4 x 12 cabinet. The sound is fantastic. If you’re on a budget and you’re not too big, don’t even hesitate to buy this. I just can’t believe this was only $370.For the price of some boutique guitar pedals, you really cannot go wrong here especially with the customer service zZounds provides.Buy this and start enjoying quickly.

This set sounds good. For the price it offers better quality sound than some that are twice as expensive. The biggest issue I have with this set is that it is so small. If you are over 5'8 you may have trouble with this set. It is small, low to the ground and compact. The heads are small and the rack is small... can I say small enough? It really does sound great, but as I said if you are a larger human I would go with a different model.

So i was very skeptical about electronic drums however after my neighbor called the police on me for playing my Vintage Tama Acoustic set I gave in, and again very reluctant but want to keep the sticks moving so my girlfriend bought me the set and I purchased the Alesis 8 amp again reluctantly and already planning on returning at least the amp after reading a negative review. So I got the set and amp literally the next day put it together with the easy to follow set up guide and with the first strike on the snare and kick I was absolutely AMAZED at this entire purchase I even had my girlfriend ask me turn turn it down because the base was shaking the walls in the other room!!! Now the only negative thing I would say is the support rack althouh it holds up I think it is a little flimsy, but other than that I am very happy with the quality of the set the ease of use and the sleek look and again the Alesis 8 amp is perfect for at home, garage playing without a mic so I'm sure if you are jamming with the band you're good too go!!

I'll start by noting a few things:- this is the first e-kit that I've played- I bought this to use with 3rd-party samples, not the included sounds- this review is based on a "For The Money" perspectiveThis is an entry-level (read: "inexpensive") e-kit with MESH HEADS. That alone is halfway to "good enough", as the heads really do feel a LOT more like playing real drums rather than practice pads with triggers embedded in them. However, that wouldn't matter if the other half weren't up to snuff: Does it actually work?Well, yes. As noted above, I'm using this with a USB cable to connect to my Windows machine and trigger drum samples in my DAW, rather than using the onboard sounds. For this purpose, it works very well; I haven't had any dropouts that I couldn't attribute to (and remedy with) my computer's settings. I haven't tried many of the onboard sounds, but what I've tried is "good enough" if you're OK with the sounds you're going to get from a drum module at this price.I've seen other reviews complain about the onboard sounds, and to this I say: What do you expect? There's no way that this little module, at this price, could be expected to deliver thousands of layers of multi-sampled sounds with mic selection/placement/velocities, and it's not reasonable to expect it to. That's what outboard gear is for, and plugged into Windows with any drum sampler I've tried, this kit is AWESOME.It's accurate, it's durable, and it feels a lot more like playing acoustic drums than anything with rubber pads for the triggers. The only thing I haven't been able to try yet is a double-kick pedal, but I've seen numerous reviews and videos of people using double pedals with this exact kit, and the only note I have is "get a pedal with the beaters close together". I cannot imagine wanting to pay more for an electronic drum kit. Buy it!

I bought these drums to set up in my mini studio so that my band and I can rehearse quietly. The setup wasn't difficult but the frame ended up being smaller than I anticipated, and the instructions were lacking a lot of information, Once the drums were set up, I plugged them all in and they worked perfectly. As far as appearance is concerned, the drum pads are a lot smaller than they look in the picture. The picture in the ad looks like at least 10 or even 12 inch pads. These are very small. You would be hard pressed to play them without hitting the rims on any of the drums. Also, once setup, the drums seemed to jump around when played hard. The Hi Hat pedal does not have a grip for the floor so I had to put it up against the wall to keep it from moving while I played it. Overall, a good buy but deceptive ad picture.

I love this kit bottom line this is the biggest bang for your buck. I've always wanted an electric kit since I was a teen and finally got a kit I can bang around on anytime of day I want not have to worry about bothering anyone. I'm looking forward to testing it out with my Novation launch pad mini soon too so I'm excited to see where that goes. I would recommend this to any drummer

My daughter loves music, and has already shown a sense of rhythm, but I was tired of the toy drums folks would buy for her, so I bought this kit for her for Xmas so she'd have something she could beat up now, and develop skills on, but would grow with her. I knew I wanted to go electronic, so I could turn it down and drum through headphones myself after she went to sleep. This kit is everything I wanted and more: cost-effective, sounds great, expandable, and durable. It's easy to lower for her, and raise back up for me (takes two minutes), and easy to adjust kick pedal sensitivity for her light foot vs my stomping. I probably enjoy it as much as she does. Best part as a dad: She definitely likes it way better than anything she had before. :)

This is my first drum set ever so I'm completely ignorant to the gear, but so far this kit is fantastic for the price and incredibly fun. I will sit for hours playing away and only feels like I'm playing for a few minutes. If you're on the fence, grab it. But some words of caution before you pull the trigger and you need to know a couple things. - First, the instructions are not very clear at all. You're going to need some common sense to put this thing together. - The kick pad is not big enough for a double kick. If you try to set up a double kick on it, the kicks will be too quiet even with adjusting the settings. It's best to invest in another kick pad that's larger if you want to use a double kick.- The snare is very small. It's only 8 inches diameter so unless you're extremely precise, it's best to upgrade the snare pad as well. Because of the size, the issue I keep running into is I keep hitting rim shots accidentally.I also purchased the expansion pack and it was definitely worth it. All in all, this is a great kit and I highly recommend you grab it. But if you're wanting to upgrade the kick pad and snare, then I'd suggest looking at the surge because it'll cost roughly the same price as the Nitro with upgrades. But the kit was absolutely worth it.

The only issue I had was setting up the highhat and snare the way I like them and still being able to access the command module. I put the snare support above the left support so I'm not hitting my leg with the left hand drumstick and placed the highhat at the end so it is even with the snare side to side. That only leaves space for the Command Module behind the hi-hat stand, and that makes it difficult to access all the features.

Im constantly moving the foot pedal back towards me even on a carpet its sliding with good tape.. i just got 2 6x4 mats to put under it but im not wasting any more time i want the pro kit ... I liked the kit and how easy the module is to operate but its just not for me..i got sick of tightening it constanly its just small I feel as if im playing a cheap toy..even tho it has some pretty decent sounds and is a great beginner kit i guess but i dont think id want this for a first impression of the e drums .. Ive played my brothers pro kits and they are way better I also have a acustic set for the day time jamming at the house but i liked the fact of head phones on the electric kits. I also play it threw the 12 inch strike amp 2000 watts in which i love that... I do love Alesis Product tho..

Don't get me wrong this is easy to use and the mesh heards are great but I not happy with the high rims on the drum heads where the drum sticks hits the rim and hold the drum sticks in an weird position but otherwise then that it's good for someone who is starting out I'll probably go back to a Kat kit I miss the one I had

This set is not for adults, unless your four feet tall. zZounds should list it on their website. I ordered the kit and am waiting for delivery today to return the item. I already have a RA#. If your thinking of buying this kit, beware it’s not very tall.
