California Ranch Life –
Now I’m no drummer, by any means. This kit, though, fills a spot for me that extends all the way back to my childhood. Back then, in the 80s, the only options seemed to be a crummy electric kit with fake drum sounds or a traditional kit. Neither of which my parents would have ever bought for the ensuing noise fest and therapy that surely would have followed. Fast forward many years and the Sears catalog has progressed to the Amazon experience.
I did a little research on this kit, not extensive, but enough to feel good about my purchase. For the money this kit felt like a great start for this beginning drummer.
The Assembly
Putting this thing together does take a little bit of time and the instructions are not crystal clear. If you pay close attention to the photos and endure a bit of trial and error, you’ll get it together. It took me about an hour. Most of the time was spent figuring out which part of the frame goes where and ensuring that the ends of each piece slot in correctly. Be sure to loosen brackets as you go so that each piece will slide in easily. Tighten things up and you’re on your way.
The Trial
Again, I’m no drummer, which was clearly evident in my initial attempts to play along with Dave Grohl tracks. Note: Probably not the guy to try and keep up with right out of the gate. That all being said, the kit sounds great, I think. There are about 10 different combinations of kits creating plenty of sounds for me to play around with. The base sounds real, snare, crash and high hat. Pretty cool. Everything is adjustable, like a real kit, to fit where you want things. Just takes some messing around for it to feel right. Kind of like finding that sweet spot in a new car seat. The cymbals were a bit quiet relative to everything else and plugging in your iPhone to play along via the auxiliary jack is cool, but the sound quality isn’t great from the iPhone. I plan to solve that by just playing through a stereo. Then adjusting the drum volume to the optimum level to both play along while still hearing the song. I have not yet toyed with all the settings, but will over the next few days weeks, actually reading the manual- novel idea.
Overall
Overall, I’m really happy with this kit so far, albeit just a few days. It’s sturdy feeling, enough so that I feel I can beat up on it a bit. It can be folded up a bit to be tucked against the wall. It’s fun and relatively intuitive. Most of all, I’ve got my first kit many long years after pining over lesser options from a tattered Sears catalog back in the 80s.

The media could not be loaded.
High quality and basic. I wanted something simple to sit down and just start playing right away.
This is it!
10 kits to choose from. Probably seven are worthwhile. It’s enough.
Cymbals are a little quiet but I like that big low end balance anyway. With electric kits, the highs are usually too loud, so maybe Alesia slightly overcompensated… but I don’t mind.
See the video and hear for yourself! recorded with my eye phone xR.

I record using this kit. The kick takes a little getting used to, especially with a double bass lick on that single pedal. I like that i can hook my phone into it and play along with drumless tracks on YouTube. It hooks up to my board and has a consistent signal with no hum or noise. The mesh heads are interesting but easy to get accustom to. They’re snappy and bouncy like an acoustic set. There’s not a ton of kit options and a couple are useless imho, but the few that are good, sound really natural during recording. Overall a good deal for the money and pack away nicely when not in use.

I’m just learning to drum, and I found this very easy to assemble and use. I also tested a real drum set to see how it compares feel wise, and it is pretty similar actually. I didn’t have any trouble going back and forth. It also makes barely any noise to play it. I have literally played it with my door open and my kids door open, and not woken them up.
The only thing I could say that’s a negative is the kick drum pedal is a bit awkward to play compared to the real thing. I find that it registers two hits sometimes if you don’t lift your foot off quick enough. But it’s probably good practice to do that anyways, so oh well.
I would also love a volume knob for the aux input separately, so that I can turn it up enough to hear over the drums. Right now I would need to go into the settings and turn down all the drum noise volumes, and then turn the volume on the whole thing up.

Molto pratica per suonare in casa anche in cuffia ottima risposta dei pad ed ottimi suoni campionati, possibilità di collegarla al of per registrare ed utilizzare altri suoni

Llego el día pactado. Materiales de muy buena calidad. Mi hijo es el que la utiliza y esta muy contento con el producto. No incluye cables para conectarse a un amplificador u otro medio para escucharse sin audífonos. Muy buen producto.

El montaje inicial lleva sobre una hora, no resulta complicado incluso para aquellos que no hemos tocado antes una batería electrónica.
Consta de 3 timbales, la caja, Hit-hat, 2 platillos, los pedales del bombo y hit-hat, cableado, ordenador de a bordo y 2 baquetas de madera, por lo que la silla iría de nuestra cuenta.
Pesa poco, no ocupa demasiado, se ve robusta y elegante y el sonido me ha sorprendido gratamente, ya que no se nota retardo ninguno entre nuestro golpe y el sonido.
Puede usarse conectada a un altavoz, o con auriculares, por lo que la molestia sería mínima aunque hay que tener en cuenta que algo se escucha.
Tiene 10 sonidos preestablecidos, metrónomo y distintas melodías para seguir, aunque imagino que algo más habrá que aún se me escapa.
Lo que menos me ha gustado es que el pedal del bombo se va desplazando al pisar, por lo que habrá que buscarse las artimañas para fijarlo y que resulta más cómodo al tocar.
El precio es muy muy correcto teniendo en cuenta la calidad que ofrece, y es ideal para aquellos que nos estamos iniciando en el mundo de la percusión y, ¿por qué no? los más profesionales.

The kit is easy to assemble, and works very well. The built-in sounds from the sound module are “ok” but the main problem is the volume of the cymbals is way too low compared to the rest – to hear the cymbals you need to really hit them hard.
I have BFD, so hooked that up (they do a free version too) and tada – glorious sounding drums that I can tune and balance.
So far the drums feel like they’re going to last, and feel good to play. With BFD the feeling and sound is awesome. The hihat does map to open/closed based on the pedal.
There is no choke, but that was known and expected at time of purchase, along without having multiple trigger zones such as rim/bell. No fault with this, as I said this was known and expected, especially for the price.
Love having the larger skins to hit, rather than smaller/rubber heads.

So I’ve had this about a month now and figure I’ve used it enough to have an opinion. I am pretty much a beginner drummer and also have a friend who is a very advanced drummer, so this summary is mainly me with a bit of expert input.
To start – why did I give it four stars? Well, you get a lot of kit for the money you spend. Additionally, the mesh heads are really nice. In general they are pretty responsive and the sound is good. The built in metronome is useful.
Why didn’t I give it five stars? Two huge reasons – in fact this almost sent me into three star territory.
First of all, the relative volumes of the different drums are not adjustable. That doesn’t sound like a huge problem, but the settings aren’t well balanced. The high hat, for example, is WAY too quiet relative to the other pieces. Unless you crank the master volume up to really high levels, all you can hear is the stick thwacking on it, which isn’t exactly great, given that it’s often in constant use. It is better on some of the 10 choices than others, but even the best one (6) is pretty bad.
Secondly, the snare and the toms are all the same size across – 8 inches. This works ok for the toms, but that is miniscule for a snare (I suspect they did it so that all four heads would be interchangeable). A typical traditional snare is 14 inches across. The snare for this kit is EIGHT INCHES across. You can buy upgraded 10 and 12 inch ones and I have read online that even the 10 inch makes a huge difference, but they are extremely costly, especially relative to the price of the whole set.
Bottom line – if you have some experience, often play on “acoustic” drums and are buying an electronic set for practice reasons or something like that, I do NOT recommend this set. It will drive you nuts and frustrate you. Spend more money or buy a smaller higher end kit. On the other hand, if you are a beginner or buying it for a kid to try out, it’s not a bad introduction. I’m not sorry I bought it, but I definitely know what I will be looking for that is different if I ever upgrade.
