Wow, just plain bad |
If you are looking for a toy for your 6 year old to bang around on, this set might qualify. It is not a set for anyone with even a mild interest in actual drumming.
I am not a pro drummer; I just wanted something to bang around on in my apartment. This doesn't qualify even for that.
One must first recognize that this product is only $[...]. Now, $[...] is a chunk of change, but still, cheap for an electric drum set. This product should be considered a toy.
The most immediately noticeable thing is that one cannot rapidly drum on this. I'm not talking super-speed, I'm talking simple 1-2-1-2-1-2 rifting. This set consistently misses every other drumbeat. I tried hitting right in the middle of the pad, tried hitting harder, made no difference. This unit is simply not responsive or fast enough to keep up with even the most mediocre of players. I know that sounds somewhat surprising. Believe me, I was surprised.
The volume of the individual pads cannot be altered. The lower tom far out-volumes the other drums, and the bass pedal is so loud it overpowers the entire set. The touch-sensitivity on the set can't be changed either. It might be somewhat difficult for a small child to manage to hit the pads hard enough to elicit a decent response.
Ease of use is good as far as layout, design and right-out-of-the-box playing. Kudos on the design. The pads aren't large (the largest is about 6") but they're moderately acceptable overall. I had no problem hitting them. Even the smallest one was easily located on the fly. I would prefer larger pads, but the configuration is acceptable. What isn't acceptable is the performance.
In my unit, the left pedal didn't work well... a connection problem. I also had a problem with "double-hits" on the right pedal. Clearly not constructed well. The foot pedals are an odd size, but I did like the fact they were a vertical-contact pedal, allowing one to bounce one's entire food up and down on them, releasing ankle strain. An unusual but beneficial design. Would be nice if they actually worked.
In short, I'm glad I ordered from Marketadvisory, because I applied for return within an hour of opening the box. I'll spend three times this much for a decent set, but I can't warrant $[...] for this one. Sorry Fender, you're a great company. And Marketadvisory, you're a super-great distributor. But this product missed the boat.

Great for beginners or quick practicing |
|
This pad is terrific for beginners or for getting a quick practice in. User configurable in more ways than I'll ever use. I like having the MIDI-in/out for laying down tracks to a computer. While it can't compete with a true, full-blown set, it's definitely a step up from the kiddie sets out there. |

Not for real drummers... and defective too. |
If you are someone who learned to play drums acoustically (on a regular/real drum-set), then this Fender set will annoy the p*ss out of you. Its response and sensitivity is so bad that you will become quickly bothered and will want to toss this machine out the window (second story!).
Also, the machine that I received had a defective power supply, so whenever I hit the bass pedal, the machine completely shut off. Nice.
I wouldn't waste your dollars. Look for another brand (maybe Yamaha?), or try a Midi trigger type device that you can hook up to your computer. |

Disappointing |
This now discontinued product from Fender is disappointing. It is not an expensive drum kit, but I would have expected more realistic drum sounds and a more authentic drum feel. In addition the product shipped with only one of the two advertised drum peddles. (Fender was very helpful and found a peddle even though the product is no longer being manufactured.)
I would suggest that if you are interested in a drum kit, spend a little more and get a better product. |
