    To answer the questions I forgot to address in the video:
    1. I do NOT have a double pedal. I tried asking if I could purchase a second bass drum pad so I could play double bass for this video, but this was unfortunately not available.
    2. Blast beats.
    3. The ride bell does not ping.
    4. sex.

    Just got this kit as my first attempt at learning some drums.
    One thing I noticed quickly is that the headphone output sucks. Super thin sound out of it, and was kinda worried that I'd made a mistake. However, using the audio out into an interface, and then into headphones lets you hear the kits sound like they are supposed to sound, so it def needs some extra power to get the full sound out of it. That plus creating your own kit from the best sounds in the brain make it sound miles better than it did when I first plugged it in.

    • @shawnrenaud2252
      @shawnrenaud2252 Před 2 lety +7

      I received my kit in January 2021. The headphone output sounded perfect. A few months later I set up for my daily practice and the low EQ was pretty much gone, same as yours. I too switched to the "audio OUT" and ran it through an old drum module's AUX IN, and it worked fine.

      To be fair if you're buying that sort of kit you probably have a preference for a stick model, and ditto for pedals (and you've almost certainly got one already). For a kit at this price aimed a beginner I'd kind of expect the pedal at least because a beginner will be starting with nothing.

    I love my e-kit... though yes it is a cheap alesis kit, I have since frankensteined it with some nicer roland components. Cool thing about e-kits too, I managed to expand the number of triggers by wiring additional triggers to the rim shot sensors of certain pads, then configured the brain to make a cymbal sound on those triggers. I almost never intentionally use a rim shot while playing, so that trigger is bypassed and gave me extra cymbal sounds.

      Never use a cheap kits module sounds. Ez drummer will improve the sound of just about any E kit, but higher end modules, you know like ones that cost just as much as the kit, usually have legit samples similar to easy drummer. Plus any decent module is gonna have the capability to import your own sounds, so you can sample your own real kit if you have one.
      Ezdrummmer is easily (see what I did there!) The greatest thing to happen to ekits in a long time. Mesh pads are also the ONLY way to keep the experience even close to realistic. If you buy a cheap ekit then do yourself a huge favor and snag at least the EZDRUMMER basic. It has enough drums and profiles to git within any type of music. You can also test the basic kit out free for a week
      I use an Alesis Surge just to screw around when I'm trying out new patterns or I'm practicing my blasts (I'm sure thats neighborhood appreciated). I use EZDRUMMER with the METAL! add-on and it sounds tiiiiiighhtt. Oyuuurrrrrr

      I suck at drums now...was "good" back in my youth (80's and early/mid 90's). Then...well, life and shit. Fast forward to about 3 years ago when I picked up an Alesis Strike Pro (11 pc) so I could "get back into drumming" now that I'm living in an apartment and am a cool 51 years old. You know the old saying? "Use it or loose it"? Yeah...turns out it's not just a saying, it's a fact! LOL!
      ..
      So, bottom line, my $5500 (I think that's how much it cost me, maybe a bit more or less) e-drums sit there and get played every couple days, just for fun. I play songs I played in my youth...the easy stuff; mostly "Hair Band Metal" or "Metal" (for those days; AC/DC, Motley Crue, Motorhead, Ozzy, ...Poison, Cinderella, Def Lepard, etc). With my rather bad fibromylagia, I can usually only warm up for 5 minutes then play one or two songs. Then I'm done and need to recover for a day (fibro SUCKS!!! >:( ).
      ..
      But you know what? Just dickin' around with the drums for 10 minutes puts a big ass smile on my face Every. Single. Time. :D Even if it hurts! And "hurts" both physically, and emotionally knowing just how much a SUCK now! ;)

      I mean most of the in-built presents sounded decent, but with some, especially the cymbals were very electronic and kinda cheap sounding. Although his playing was spot on perfect, the end result was cheap-sounding recording of a professional drummer. So I don't fully agree, as once again, at least in terms of sound quality it was lacking even with a pro drummer. However, after loading some presets from EZDrummer those problems went away and the sound quality/samples were very good and the audio was matched with the skill of the drummer. It's great that you can do that- in cheap electronic kits the sample quality and how 'real' vs 'cheap' or plasticky they sound it's a limiting factor and having an option to load some better samples it the most important thing from what' I've seen and heard from people.

      If that were true the best musicians would play the cheapest crap instruments available. I don't see Steve Vai playing a $200 GRX Ibanez. Quality of instruments effects playability and sound. I would say closer to 50/50, and ot shrinks with how amazing you are.

      @@burningempire666 I had thought about adjusting percentages and come to the conclusion that it’s too difficult to accurately quantify anyway. However the point still stands. I’d also like to compare another idea to the concept of how we tend judge people’s ability. Once we turn things into a competition, even the most minute of differences become super apparent. Take top Olympic runners for example. The difference between their race times are often ranging from 1-2%. Say they raced with an old pair of ordinary sneakers. That would be enough of a difference to go from gold to possibly no medal. Either way with almost any pair of running shoes they’d beat nearly anyone in the world. But to hang with the best of the best they need their top equipment. In music it’s even more necessary. But either way the most important part to hang with the top people would be practice. Thanks for your input though. It is clear that pro musicians should still buy pro level equipment

    Thanks for reviewing this Samus! I have an Alesis Command-X with the mesh heads, which retails for about double this Donner kit in the US. It's my first drum kit and I bought it when I was living in an apartment so I needed something quiet-ish (my downstairs neighbors would probably disagree on the "quiet" part but w/e, I tried). From what I can see in the video, it looks like the Donner has similar features, if a bit stripped down. I could go on about the differences I'm seeing but it seems to be "you get what you pay for." If I upgrade, I would seriously look at a more expensive but more expandable Roland. There are some amazing drummers on Twitch and YT using really nice Roland kits and they don't seem hampered at all.
    Really I'm just tired of seeing "real" drummers shit talk electronic kits. I've played on acoustic kits, yes it feels different, no I don't feel like I'm "not a real drummer." Plus I can record to a DAW like Reaper in MIDI or OGG/WAV. I didn't have to spend $800 on mics and another $300+ on a decent 8-channel mixer to do that. With COVID my drum lessons have been through Melodics and it's pretty fun, even if I'm missing the personalized feedback and guidance of a teacher.
    For me, an electronic kit was a perfect starter and does exactly what I want it to. Yes there are things I'd like my kit to do that it doesn't, but for now and at that price point it's great.
