Perfect Mini Drum Kit solution
By BLEEKER
First off this is NOT a replacement for a real drumkit. It's more of a portable mini kit to take around with you where you want. Much like a guitarist's mini backpack guitar. The built in speakers do the job but if you want better sound, plug in to an external audio source. IT has 50 preset drum kits and 100 play along songs in a range of styles which can be fun to practice to. The kit samples are decent. And there is a nice mix of styles to choose. The pads look sturdy, not sure how they'll hold up over time but we'll see.The sensitivity can be adjusted to 3 levels 0-1-2. Frankly I didnt notice a whole lot of difference between mode 0 and mode 1 but mode 2 I did notice a slightly more responsive hit when I tapped the pads. If purchasing this i'd consider getting soft tip lightweight sticks or maybe rigging a pair with foam on the tips to preserve the pads and prevent banging up the unit.The layout of the kit is much better then the dd-55. When playing it I tilt it slightly clockwise so the right bottom end points in between my legs, feels very natural. The pedals provided are not the best but you can upgrade to better full size electronic pedals if you like. But for the purpose I use it for, the provided pedals are just fine. There is a hand percussion mode which when activated brings up the bongo and conga kit. You can then play with your hands which is a nice add on feature.Im giving it a 4. If it had better sounding speakers and better pedals id give it a five. If you're just starting out i'd recommend getting a full size acoustic or electric kit. But if you know how to play and want a compact light weight mini kit to tote around to friends houses, this is the perfect solution.

Excellent product
By BillyDKid
After getting completely frustrated with the quality of cheaper electronic drums sold off the shelf at most department/toy stores I looked into a higher quality kit for my 8 yr old daughter.This is a great set. Many different realistic drum sounds/kits, velocity sensitive pads, pedals, and more features for us to discover and grow into. Check out some videos on youtube to see how amazing the sound and responsiveness is. My daughter loves it! I also considered a real drum set at this price range, but they take up too much room and don't compare to the number of drums/sounds on this machine. I recommend getting a snare stand to hold it. That's our next purchase.Don't waste your money on the cheap stuff. Nothing else compares to this set at this price range.

By Gary L. Rogers
I used to own the DD50 the DD65 is an upgrade in every way.A snare stand is a must.Pros:-Nice set up gives you the feel of a real drum set on a smaller scale.-Eight pads and two pedals.-Can make a custom kit.-The pad voices can keep up with 32nd notes.-Plug in your MP3 and play with your favorite band.Cons:-The prerecorded songs are worthless.-The speakers are very weak (plug in a nice amp to get better sound).-The pedals, but they can be upgraded.In a nutshell: I would highly recommend this if you have limited space and sound restrictions.
