Donner DED-200X Electronic Drum Set, Electric Drum Kit with Quiet Mesh Drum Pads, 2 Cymbals w/Choke, 31 Kits and 450+ Sounds, Throne, Headphones, Sticks, USB MIDI, Melodics Lessons (5 Pads, 4 Cymbals)

I have been a drummer for many years. Always played with traditional acoustic drums. I hadn’t owned a set for a long time and didn’t want to disturb my family or neighbors so I thought I’d give electronic ones a try. These are of very good quality. The set up was easy and they sound amazing. I would recommend getting better quality headphones though. The mesh pads give a realistic feel and it’s great that the sound of each component can be tailored. The manual is mostly useless to program stuff. I relied on AI step by step instructions and it worked out very well. I am very impressed with this drum set. Everybody says it’s for kids and beginners but I disagree. They are versatile and even an experienced drummer would enjoy messing around on these. It’s for home use and for practice. Obviously, nobody would take $400 drums on tour with Metallica. Anyway, I highly recommend these. Well worth the price .

Sounds great, well made. Very pleased.

This is a nice drum set. The set was packaged well and easy to assemble. The number of sounds is really good. I was finding different sounds that I like, although they were parts of different sets. There's a user kit where you can choose your own sounds, which is what I will probably use. I don't expect this to fully replace a real drum set, but it is good for learning, as well as having a quieter set for practicing at home. I own a lot of Donner musical instruments and have been quite happy with the quality. The down side was actually getting it. I was first sent the EC-3130 model with only three cymbals when I had ordered the EC-3133 set with four cymbals. Amazon made it easy to return and exchange. The second set I received was the correct model. I would give the drum set four stars for ease of assembly and drum responsiveness. The only issue was dealing with customer service. After contacting them about receiving the wrong set and an initial email saying they would check into it, a whole week went by without another word from Donner. Also, the Melodics link still won't work using the Amazon order numbers, also without a response from Donner customer service. I'm dropping a star from the review for lack of customer service. In summary: Good product. Finally received what was expected. Poor response from customer service. Edit: After writing this review, Donner Customer Service reached out. I think we both agree Amazon shipped the wrong set the first time, which was resolved by the replacement. I have lots of Donner musical instruments (at least seven) and all are very good quality. This drum set is exactly what I expected and is a really good drum learning tool. As far as the drum set is concerned, I am a satisfied customer. I'm glad their customer service team reached out to try to make sure such issues don't happen to others in the future. Just be aware that if you have issues, it may take a week or two to get a resolution. Out of all the Donner products I own, this had been the first issue I've had, and it really wasn't Donner's fault. There's always room for improvement, especially in customer service. I've added a star back for their willingness to work things out.

I kind of rolled the dice on this set.I bought it just to learn. It is sturdy and well designed. All of the many assorted kit sounds are great sounding and there are many helps built into the module to to help with practice: songs in a range of styles, built- in programmable metronome, coaching games , you can even record your sessions. I don’t often review leave a review on my purchases but I think this product really deserves your consideration. I hope Donner continues to innovate and offer great musical products with more than reasonable prices!

I've wanted to play drums for 15+ years, but didn't have money or space for a kit. I play 6 instruments so I'm not new to music, but I'm a complete beginner at drums, so keep that in mind. This kit is the cheapest option that you won't outgrow too quickly. It sounds different depending on how hard you hit, and you can hit a cymbal and grab the edge to choke it, or stop the sound early. I'm very impressed and I'm glad I got the 4 cymbal version. The headphones are hot garbage, only one of the ears even works in mine, but you can get decent headphones that plug in and cover your ears without spending too much extra. Try for noise canceling headphones so you don't hear the sound of hitting the pads. I have a couple extras so one became my official drum headphones. If you want to play out loud, you'll need an amp to connect it to. Cheap way around that- check any online marketplace. There are always people that buy electric guitar kits and give up, usually those amps will be your cheapest option. It went together really easily, and I was set up and playing within 90 mins of getting the box! I love it so far.

Easy to set up, sounds great and feels great. The pads and cymbals are all pretty well made so you can go all out, and it folds up neatly for storage.

I really like this drum set, one of the cheapest out there. Can easily move around and secure it. I had it for a little over a year and it served me well. And that extra crash cymbal is a nice touch really. Although the hi-hat sometimes is not responsive per one note but not all the time so you won't hear it

Fun to play and packaged well. My child loves it. Quiet for those that aren’t listening on the headphones. Does fold up a little to help with space. Only things I might say is the headphones aren’t the highest quality and don’t pick up every beat when playing fast. And adjusting the throne/ seat takes a couple steps but neither effect what we use it for.

batterie très fidèle a la description et bien + encore ; très satisfait sur les diverses tons de sonorités et le retour de la touche de frappe , se rapprochant d une batterie acoustique je recommande ce produit , d autant plus que le service client est très réactif et professionnel un set complet a ce prix la , pas d hésitations

Fantastic for the price, I can't fault it apart from the headphones, bin them amd get a better set, be good if you could upload your own pad sounds. But there is plenty to choose from already.

Easy to install

When I received the product, there was a problem with the module screen. The issue fixed itself, but it started again a month later. When I reported the problem to Donner, they didn’t take care of it and told me to contact Amazon. Amazon issued a partial refund for the module. However, if I ever order again, I will definitely stay away from Donner. Their customer service is absolutely unhelpful and just wastes your time.

Voy a consdensar aquí mi review de esta batería ya que creo que falta uno completo para los que aún no se decidieron siendo lo más breve posible pero no dejando nada fuera. Soy un baterista avanzado que toca hace 15 años, para quien logicamente hoy la batería es un hobby y una desconexión de la seriedad de la vida adulta. Mi intención entonces fue buscar una batería buena que me permita divertirme tocando sobre pistas en casa y grabar algún esporádico track. Para resumir: con esta intención en mente, creo que compré lo mejor en su rango de precio. Tuve anteriormente una Yamaha de gama media/alta. Hay diferencias? Si, claro, en todos los aspectos. Pero hay que leer este review en mente teniendo en cuenta que pagué 369EUR con una oferta Flash (modelo con 4 platillos), y que aún a su precio regular de 429EUR para mi la relacion precio prestaciones sigue siendo buenísima. Esta batería compite con Alesis, baterías que he probado, y ofrece mejores prestaciones por menor precio, ya que no pagas la prima de una marca un poco más establecida. Entonces vamos al grano: -Empaquetado y armado: viene todo dividido en cajas rotuladas, trae repuestos de mariposas por si la perdes, y todo muy bien explicado en el manual. Si ya armaste alguna batería electronica, no te va a llevar más de media hora. Aquí encontré al tomar el redoblante, que había ruido de algo suelto adentro. El cuerpo se abre, y al abrirlo encontré que la cabeza de un tornillito se había quebrado y estaba suelta. Al no presentar problemas en el sonido ni moverse la pieza que sostiene, procedí con el armado. Sucede con una Yamaha o Roland? no, pero posiblemente tampoco con todas las Donner. Un detalle menor al que estaré atento a futuro. -Estabilidad: algunos hablan de que es inestable, le he pegado duro y la batería no se mueve si ajustas bien todo, de hecho es muy comoda y se le puede dar buena altura. Esto para mi la hace mejor que otras de su precio (por ejemplo las DB Drums para quienes sean de Latinoamerica) -Los cuerpos mesh andan barbaro, se les puede regular bien la tension para finarlos y tener rebote mas acorde al gusto de cada uno. El redoblante es doble sona y el aro buena muy lindo. Los platillos tienen choke, son doble zona y andan muy bien. La sensibilidad se regula, y he tocado sobre estandares de jazz con mucho rebote como sobre temas de punk rock sin ningun tipo de problema honestamente incluso en fills rápidos. -El pedal del hi-hat es a presion, no esperen una sensibilidad espectacular, pero cumple su funcion. El pedal del bombo, que es un pedal real que golpea un cuerpo, es por supuesto, malo para un batero experimentado. Esperaba algo mejor por menos de 400EUR? no, para nada. Para un principante posiblemente esté perfecto, y de todas formas, se puede cambiar perfectamente por el pedal que cada uno guste (cosa que haré pronto). Lo unico malo del pedal de bombo es que el soporte del pad es muy largo para atras, por lo que si armas contra una pared, la bateria debe quedar bastante separada por esta extension. -Sonido y modulo: correcto, tiene click, algunos temas pre grabados para tocar encima (que curiosamente, tienen pista de bateria... lo cual me disgusta), y variedad de pre sets que son todos customizables en volumen y sonido. Honestamente, no voy a tocar nada, con los que trae hay variedad de sonidos decentes y fieles. -Accesorios: acá tampoco esperaba mucho más, pero les voy a ahorrar tiempo. Los auriculares son un desastre total, los que recibí yo incluso tienen un falso contacto de un lado y el sonido va y viene, pero aún si eso no sucediera suenan horrible. Con lo cual si metes la bateria en el carrito, mete tambien unos buenos auriculares. La banqueta es bastante mala tambien, pero se deja usar si se la trata con cariño. Hasta que se rompa, no compraré otra. En resumen: tiene las limitaciones que tiene cualquier batería de este rango de precio, pero al mismo precio esta trae un platillo más, una banqueta aceptable, y pedal de bombo real. Le pongo 5 estrellas a pesar del tornillo suelto, y de detalles como los auriculares (que jamas esperaba fueran buenos) porque pienso que por su precio, entrega muchisimo a un batero experimentado que la quiera para divertirse en casa. Es una bateria para tocar en vivo todos los fines de semana, o para grabar un LP? sirve, pero posiblemente no sea lo ideal. Para quienes el uso que yo le doy se corresponda con sus intenciones, la recomiendo ampliamente (más si la encuentran en oferta como yo) Espero que les sirva
