You should combine all the electronic drum sets and make one massive electric drum kit!
YURRRR!❤
The harness becomes the issue
That’s an awesome idea
torille
@@trexx6205 That's what he did in a previous video
If you think of throwing them away, please give it to me.🙏
Dude if you are a begginer just to tell my music school had this set its really bad for beginners
@@EddyA-qo3itWhat is so bad with them? Are they really bad compared to drum ekit in general ?
@@Lakitu1446 the pads are very small, the volume is very bad on speaker so you really need headphones, the kick is also very light and moves around
Maybe it's just the schools speaker?@@EddyA-qo3it
Honestly, the fact that you can interface with a computer and just trigger the Superior Drummer (or whichever set you have) samples from it is pretty hard to beat. When you hooked it up to your computer it sounded great.
Which one did Samus use??
Considering all stock e-kits have crap sounding toms and snares anyway, you're right. Spend less money if possible and buy superior drummer. I'd still say go with the 100 over the 80, but that's really if you want to use a double kick (most people probably don't - it really only appeals to metal drummers).
@@deanmayberry9713 Well, the 100 is also better if getting the actual feel of using the actual kick pedal so I'd still recommend it even if you don't play metal.
I'm sure the open close hi hat would never work with superior drummer or any other plug in
@@rogercabo5545 Not sure with superior drummer specifically but many plugins do. You just have to set the open sound, close sound, and hihat pedal press sounds separately and the controller does the rest.
As a guitar and bass player who has always thought about playing around with drums, I'm seriously considering getting one of these electronic kits just to jam around with at home.
Donner's quality is better than most of the things on the budget line of known brands.
Not this drum though, that's for sure
i got a Donner Low Fall mini digital delay pedal for 20bux at a pawn shop and it's not bad at all
yeah, love their kebabs
Looks and sounds better than a $400 alesis
@@h00sky17
That's _döner._
11:09 brings tears of joy to my eyes :D
Its so wholesome to see a guy with long hair and beard, and kinda deathmetal stuff around, looking bad ass and then play some music from an 2002 asia online RPG.
First video for me from you - instant subscribe :D
hahaha thank you so much!!!
He is literally Jesus but a little obese and longer hair version of Jesus
Just got this kit delivered this week for my daughter for Christmas. Thank you for doing this review! I cannot wait to see her rock out on her first dum kit!
Awesome!! hope she loves it!!
Righteous brother 👍🤘 hope she enjoys it
Hey! might not reply but hows your daughter enjoying it? I might convince my parents to get me one of these for Christmas! worth it?
We did the same. She turned 11 on the 18th as well. Def have to figure out each groove for her.
I don't play drums but I never realized that a double bass pedal used both feet. I always figured it was a pedal with two beater and some sort of gear ration to double the hits or something. Neat.
those do exist, but theyre not very common
ah yes lol a very common mistake i believe that things like that do exist but are quitee complicated to set up and rare to see
The double bass kick in metal drumming is one of my favorite elements of music. You should check out George Kolias, Pete Sandoval and Flo Mounier for some sick double kick work!
You can do a lot of fast, rapid kicks tactfully using the bounce from the pedal on a single pedal bass drum.
The editing you do got me laughing throughout the whole dang video thank you man. And you’re truly a badass drummer.
Yes, with that size I could finally have drumset in every room :)
12:30 that double stroke on the bass was just 😍
Imagine going back in time and showing up at the practice space with this in 1981.
I was blown away by how good it sounded after you plugged it into the computer! Wow! I’m looking into buying one now.
Go for it. I just got my set. The packaging and instructions were great.
When did he plug it into the computer?
@@Porklion 12:16
@@user-yr3dl5on7q thank you! I'm new to all of this, how do you change the way it sounds with the computer?
It was so good to hear laid to rest being played on a lower end kit and sound amazing!
I'm pretty impressed by all the Donner stuff I've been seeing around. They have some decent drums, midi controllers, even an analog synth that's like a fancy modern 303.
Also, stick this one with your other Donner e-kits for a super Donner Drum orgy!
My first electric guitar was a donner (about 2 years ago), it was fantastic. Their guitars cords suck but generally, they’re a very good brand, regardless with context of their prices
Even though I already have a kit I still like watching you unbox these and test them out idk why, it's kinda satisfying. :)
Congrats on 500k Samus! Your streams and videos honestly make my day so much better. Thank you. SEX!
ive been here (his channel) since 2008.....time flies holy shit.
Fuck yeah!!! I agree 100 fuckin percent!!!!!

Excellent coverage and playing demonstration. Love your style.
You the man drum Samus, drum-man that is, thanks for taking time to show and explain a lot of drum related things, Rock on!
Thank you for sharing. Also you’re playing, skill and speed is incredible.
Samus the reason you are one of my fav drum creators is because you are so comedic and funny. Thanks for the amazing content and keep doing what you do.❤
It's always nice to hear what it sounds like without amplification for those who live in an apartment and want to "see" if they would annoy their neighbors. Your choice of chops made this video a joy to listen to.
yeah I live in an apartment and i’m considering buying one of these
Not a bad little kit for someone starting out. And your sound effects/silliness made me LOL :) Great vid :D
Funny timing on this. Got the DED-80 a couple months back as my first practice kit. Neat start to drumming.
My dad was a drummer for a long time and when I was younger I grew up around a really nice real kit - been feeling the itch to try and get back into the drums and something like this might just be perfect for lil ol re-beginner me without ruining my roommates lives or my checking account lol
I'm really surprised how good those sound. Thanks for testing them out for us!
Dude! Awesome video and great suprise with the Laid to rest lick at the end man good stuff!
@13:01 I'm here quietly watching a great review and then all of sudden he plays "Laid to rest"...🤘🤘🥁🎸🔊
I pulled the trigger on ordering the DED 100 and a double-bass pedal so I can finally start learning drums. Been wanting to for ages but it took until now, as a 29-year old, to finally commit lol.
ohhhh yurrrr!
It wouldn’t be a proper review without a blast beat. Way to not disappoint. 😂
Also this is actually very helpful. I was a drummer for years but live in an apartment and can’t have an acoustic kit. I was looking at cheap setups to get going again.
Love watching this stuff especially as I’m getting a Carlsbro cs d400 for my birthday and I can’t stand the wait, so watching this stuff makes it more exciting to get an electric drum set
I was waiting for a blast beat with the jazz. lol Grats on the 1/2 mil followers!
Sam could make watching paint dry feel like we’re watching the Indy 500 😂😂
real talk i am here for the reviews and content (obviously) but i am also here for all the random fart sound effects 11/10, it appeals to my lizard brain :]. also a very decent set for that price holy moly
also!!!! just noticed that you hit (over) 500k!!!!! congrats man that's a huge number!!!
thank you so much dude!!
the blast beat with just one pedal, so slick XD love it
I’ve never head bumped so hard while using the bathroom before. Good shit! Also nice drumming. I’m excited to be getting my first electric kit soon!
thanks for the demo. I'm thinking about getting this set. I want to learn to play drums. I've been playing guitar most of my life. Edit: I just got mine last night. The instructions and packaging are great and I put it together without any problems. I did have a few issues with a few of the drum components not generating any sound when I first plugged it in, but I was able to solve it by reconnecting the component and the main serial connection to the module.
Thankyou foe the review, off to get myself the 80 and start my drumming journey 😊
hell yeah!!
I had a drum set about 20 years ago. Had to give it up because I had to move and my ears were becoming too sensitive to loud noises. I've been wanting to get an electronic set for a while and after seeing this set, I might get it. Doesn't look like it takes a lot of room, which is good for a small apartment like mine. Thanks for the review!
Awesome video. Just got mine for Christmas and ready to jam.
Hey 66Samus love your videos. You bring me joy as a begginer on a drum kit. I also noticed that "The art of Partying" by Munipical Waste was recorded on 222 BPM. Love you and your videos. And as always SEX!
Looking forward to "the most expensive edrums I`ve ever played". So much cool high-end edrums out there now:)
I just picked up the 100. It's fun to see you in the Amazon video for it.
You look like you're having a ton of fun - and to my ear, that wee kit sounds pretty good, especially for the price. You play very well. LOVE the 808 sounding kit around 7.50. Funkin' fab.
I think that I've found my little boy's first kit. Thank you for doing this fantastic video, isn't budget gear amazing now?
I think back to the marginally attractive logs passed off as budget guitars from the 70's and 80's by dubious named far East companies and look at the likes of Donner, Glarry and Harley Benton nowadays and they're galaxies apart.
I remember a friend buying his first P bass back in the late 80's. Can't remember the brand but, we were all green back then. I played it and shredded my fingers on the fret ends, so we taped our fingers 🙈 from there onwards. You could drive a London red bus under the action, too. Bloody horrific old thing it was but we were all so happy to have instruments. Nowadays, these budget kits and guitars are making learning so much better for people who want to learn to play.
Fuck I'm old...
glad you enjoyed Jay, thank you!!
No idea why this was in my recomendations, because I have no musical knowledge or talent. But I love music a lot. This video was an entertaining surprise, thanks!
thank you Ron!!
You probably heard a drum solo on the radio and yt read your mind that you krinkled your nose or bobbed your head for a split second
I ordered the 2nd kit yesterday. Stoked, can't wait to start messing with it!
Dude you ROCKED it. This was fun to watch.
These kits are so affordable these days! Especially the DED-100 is awesome for the price.
I had a Roland kit which was worth 3000,- euro's at least, but this is almost as great!
OooO!!! I want a cheap set to learn with! As a guitarist I am sick of programming backing tracks.
Nice sound! Thanks for sharing! Have a great day
Nice demo on the kit.. been looking all ove youtube for this one. Thank you. And yeah you have a new subscriber here. 👍🏻
thank you so much!!
Those 8" pads would drive me bananas. I guess it would train you to be precise with your hits.
It would...and it does....
they do! some things take some time to readjust to when moving back to my acoustic kit (dynamics, looking at you here) but practicing on a v-drum kit with 8" pads has done wonders for my accuracy.
Love the cheap drum stuff videos! And one thing, i would also love to hear how does it sound outside off headphones (i know its terrible) but people use these in places where they need to be quiet, so how loud is outside of headphones?
I would say it's pretty much the equivalent of hitting a rubber practice pad
Mesh heads are not silent by any means, but they are a damn lot quieter than acoustic drums. If you live in close proximity to neighbours, they likely wouldn't appreciate you playing at midnight, for example. But during the day, outside of the room all you can hear is tapping.
@@AlexSchladetsch nah my upstairs neighbour never complains about my acoustic kit at least not since I showed him how much louder things get when HE DOESN'T MIND HIS OWN GODDAMN BUSINESS
@@drumboarder1 This is the way. lol.
@@drumboarder1 Hahhaaah
Try this. Use an expression pedal. Pass the output of the drum module to the input of the expression pedal. I do this with the Yamaha DTXpress IV going into the DigiTech RP90.
Then, program in timpani. I tuned mine into two different tonalities (Low to High Bb-Eb-F-Bb and C-F-G-C). Then use the expression pedal to pitch bend and you can get pitch bends similar to what you would get on acoustic timpani.
If you go in to the parameters of the settings for each pad/sensor, you can use sounds not normally available. Example: I can use each of pad/sensors to be different notes on a piano and play scales, chords, and some basic piano music.)
Electronic percussion can seriously rock if the player knows how to set it up properly and has a really good amp.
Thanks for the video. You seemed to have a lot of fun with it.
Been trying to source a decent e-kit for my son who is learning at school on electric drums. Your video is ace and has convinced me to purchase this bit of kit. ❤
I'm so glad this video was recommended to me. I became a subscriber about 10 seconds into the video. I really enjoy your mannerisms and how you open the boxes. When someone makes me literally laugh out loud I become a fan. And your knowledge and opinions are refreshing and I feel like I'm not being suckered into a product. You're straightforward. Well done Sir 👍
Dude, thank you so much!!!
I eventually want to upgrade my cheap-o Alesis Nitro kit to something better but it does great for the time being. Especially after doing some upgrades and additions to along with a couple mods. These low end kits definitely are a great way to get into drumming on a budget
A cheap way to go is to upgrade the drum module itself. Years ago I had a alesis dm6 kit, and found a cheap roland td 10 expanded module. From there I slowly scored a mesh pad every time I had extra cash. A Roland module that supports VH hihats is a good upgrade, as the alesis stuff has poor hihat expression, and it's one of the things that really kills the feel of an E kit. These days I just use a td20x module triggering Superior Drummer 3.
Same here, my alesis mesh has been great for getting into drumming (going on a year and a half or so now, no issues with it). But definitely has a real crappy module with hardly any decent sounds. I’ve tried using plugins through daw’s like ezdrummer, to get access to better sounds, but the latency is unbearable. Idk if my issue is not having an audio interface, but I assume it’s the crappy module and will have latency even with an interface, idk. I can still record from my alesis into a daw as long as I’m listening to the audio from the module and not my pc, and you can record 1 track on the module itself to hear back your practice. For the price it’s served it’s purpose no doubt, but a better module could do wonders.
@@Bryanpeacock33 I got the Millennium 850 kit two weeks ago, it's better than the Roland TD27 that sells for $2k.....the 850 kit cost me $670 shipped to my house.
@@squanchysquanch1840year late but the lag is definitely bc of not having an interface so if you havent already get one
@@DedRucktheDuck I did pick up a basic interface lol but I think I’m missing some sort of cable to connect my kit to the interface (or to connect the interface to my pc). When I’m recording directly to a daw from my kit I just use a certain USB plugged directly into pc, but I don’t think there’s a USB port on the interface. Need to do a bit more research and have been putting it off haha I’m sure I’ll figure it out
500k subs and counting. 'Bout damn time! Love ya Samus.
Damn! That’s cheap! Hopefully it gets more ppl into playing the drums!
ohhh yurrr!!
Yep, My digital drum addiction began w/ one of these cheap kits. It's awesome to see more options.
I really wish stuff like this was around when I first started
man we've come a loooong way when it comes to this stuff being much more affordable. $419 for that second kit you played is so cheap, i bet kids are getting them for christmas now more than ever. lucky.
THANK YOU my 4 yr old is going to love the 80( your the 1st to show the back of the little computer thing )
I love how you throw in a blast beat 🤘🏻
Would be great for someone that wants to try drumming out and see if they can advance, or just as a practice kit.
exactly!
I kinda love the idea of buying one of these Donger sets to augment my big Roland VAD kit with fun splashes and the like. Way, way cheaper than buying Roland cymbals and probably no significant difference in playability for what they'd be used for.
Buy 2 and have a double Donger
@@fatlittleparasite 😅😅😅😅
You'll have a BIG ROLAND DONGER!!! lol...sounds like a porn star name!!!! Lol
Samus, you could take my late grandmother’s old pots and pans and make beautiful music out of it.💯
Congrats for 500k!!
wow la segunda bateria es mucho mejor hasta en estilo, sos un maestro!! me gustan tus videos! saludos De Argentina
thank you!!
Every once in a while I think about buying a cheap small kit like this and trying to wing it learning online. I also have parrots so if I get bored of it I'm sure they'll love it 😀 Are kits like these portable enough to fold down and stick in a tight space like a closet? If they are portable how long do they normally take to get back into place after you get the hang of it?
Edit: oh ya... Sex!
yes you can fold the rack :) only takes a few mins
I had the same concern. You can fold it down pretty easily. You can also disconnect the main bar that connects the 2 stand posts and pack it down even further. One thing I am noticing is to take extra care when connecting and disconnecting the wires. It seems that the wiring unit could get damaged if you don't handle it with care. It's not cheap but you've got 9 components that need to generate sound going into one unit. I'm sure the connection wire harness can be replaced however. I'm trying to check if they make replacement parts but I don't see any on the website. I'll probably email them and see what they do.
The double strokes on the bass drum at 12:30 are beautiful.
Fantastic drums, beautiful share, amazing work.
Thanks for your wonderful sharing.
Happy Thanksgiving bro! Thanks for this channel!
thank YOU!!
Man, I love your vids and reviews. Idk what the 666 is about. But, you seem like a genuine dude and a kick ass drum player. You and el estapario are my favs. Love the blast beats
Wow your fills and skills at the end were great
Loved the lamb of god input there at the the end love playing that song
I'm truly surprised to see the pedals stay in place... Kinda reminds me of being a kid and finally getting my mitts on the guitar hero electric drum set 😂 gotta love that cow bell
Awesome dude, another excellent review thanks for sharing.
i got the ded100 bc of this video , its amazing , thanks for the review
Wonderful playing ❤
When you used the flames to switch kits, that's when I hit subscribe.
I like the "Blood to the Scribe" lick near the end there! Lol
I love watching your stuff, you always make me laugh lol, your videos are always great in general also.
12:20 "Thanx for Nothing". Love your channel, keep it coming!
I think you are the king of farts ever since that fart drumming. Now with the sound effects. It brings me so much joy!
the cowbell realisation is the edit of the century
you're the best bro, we all love you too! keep on rockin🤟
I'm a bassist but love music in general, great channel i like your stuff here, excellent 👌🏾 🥁
thank you dude!!
I like to think you keep all your electronic kits in a closet that closely resembles a jungle with frames as trees and cords as vines, with the happiest bahee swinging around
The Playalong at the End reminds me on Dave Weckl's Straight Eights i love to Jam to Stuff like this
Loved the quick Lamb of God's "laid to rest" cover at the end, nice one
That kick drum sound at the end? Lol, amazing for sure.
11:12 made me feel like I was going to a buy a car at the dealership in Gran Turismo, and then I stay for longer cause the music is good
Brother, you are hilarious! My sense of humor. We'd be friends for sure.
Smiling, big triple like !!!nice demo fun
I really love the socks dude!
Want to start getting back into drumming, the ded-80 seems pretty good, I do have a acoustic one but I don’t want to annoy the neighbors 😂
congrats on 500k to the best drummer youtuber out there
Hah, I dig it....!! 🥁😄
Right around the 8:24 mark, the ride cymbal sounds like a baby cowbell that hasn't hit puberty yet...🤣
5:15 that sounded like the into to “In My Place” and now I’m happy
I tried to get this, was out of stock, managed to get the Donner ded100 kit and a double pedal.
You have inspired me to finally try and learn drums and it's a nice way for me to connect with my estranged older brother who already is intermediate on his own e drum kit. Better late than never, wish me luck.!!
haha hell yeah dude!! best of luck and have lots of fun!! :)
Not too many people in the Yukon have e drums, I played the bass guitar 25 years ago when I was in BC, can't read music but going to give it a go. I may have to send you some farts as a thank you for the inspiration!
Fuxk man, I have slow feet, my right foot wants to mirror my right hand and I am uncoordinated as fuck haha. This is going to take a while. I have been only practicing 2 hours a day with doing things like alternating double rolls and quad rolls, 8th notes with each foot, building muscle memory and stuff like that slowly, speed may come but it will be a while at these first stages. People think a simple 120bpm rock beat is easy, it looks easy untill you go to tell your limbs to play it.
What kind of double pedal did you get?? I'm looking to get one
