#drums #electronic #cheap #66samus
I played drums for nearly 10 years (self taught) and this was so cathartic to watch. I played alone mostly since I never really knew any other musicians in my area (fairly rural area). Anyway I never told people I played drums for many years since I exclusively played an electronic kit. We lived in an apartment so a regular kit was out of the question. Lol But I stopped playing some time back (after I went off to college and meat other musicians), because I got tired of playing alone AND other musicians telling me I wasn't a real drummer. I know it's foolish to give up something you enjoy because of what other people say, but I have to be honest hearing people tell me that over and over just got to me over time. Now (after some years have gone by) seeing you jam out like this on this kit has reignited the passion! Thanks for posting this! You really showed off how awesome and fun an e-kit can be. Thanks again for the re-inspiration!
Don’t listen to what others say! Get back on the kit!
Romanian?
@@pixelnazgul No. Lol. Curious what made you think so?
Never listen to other people's negativity. Whether you play along with songs or not doesn't make you any less of a drummer just because you didn't play with other musicians.
I was a trumpet player when I was younger. I've played in front of more people than some of these local bands and I only played for 3 years. I moved onto bass, but haven't played in a band or with anyone else since.
Granted, my skills on bass suck as I haven't put the time into getting better at it. I could pick up the trumpet again and play it. I still remember how to because I learned so young, it's hardwired into my brain.
I focus on sound engineering at this point. It's what I do for a living. Mixing live bands is more interesting for me than playing on a stage in front of people at this point of my life.
@@acidstorm001 Thanks. I've return to jamming alone and I forgot just how immensely tiring and enjoyable drumming is. Luckily I kept my old e-kit, but thanks again. That's why I said it was foolish for me to stop, BUT I did have to acknowledge that was how felt at the time and the reason I stopped. Trumpet?! BTW? Wow I always had mad respect for people who could play any kind of horn. The breath control alone. Lol. I have no clue how you all do it. Engineering sounds pretty cool as well. I'm glad you can still do music (technically.😉) and make living doing so.
5:41 i love how every single one of us can listen to all instruments despite it's only drums, it's like our brains just fill the blanks
What?
@@GreenToast01 he means just the drum makes you hear the whole of smells like teen spirit in your head
I'm glad I'm not the only one 😆That was a really good emulation of Dave Grohl's kit from Smells Like Teen Spirit
yup
He played slightly different i think
All of those sample tracks sound like they're right of a Sonic the Hedgehog game and I loved it.
One of them's a Michael Jackson song! I wonder if they're properly licensed..
@@MikoSquiz Sonic and MJ, suddenly it makes more sense...
So great of tommy tallarico to provide those awesome tracks! I bet his mother is very proud of him.
7:05 Al fucks to this song.
This kit has no business being this good for the price. Very impressive.
Man I am seriously hoping one day that you put all of your kits together especially now that you got this one and make the most insane Neal peart sized drum kit that anybody has ever seen
Well...I do have 2 of these Donner kits now...
:)
@@66Samus
@@66Samus You can "daisy chain" the drum modules as well via USB cable or the AUX out to AUX in. My setup is made up of 3 e-kits.
Was just thinking this very thing. Tons of room in the basement to get a giant circle of drums going ❤️
Oh yurr
Did not click on this video expecting to hear blast beats on a drum track of Rock With You by Michael Jackson. But did I receive that? Yes. Did I know I needed it? No. Do I now know that I needed it? ABSOLUTELY
That is actually impressive for the price. Great kit for inputing drum midi notes on the fly.
Yeah there all great till something goes wrong with the electronics 👍
@@fishmut i owned a roland td30k kit years ago and i ran into problems with it too. paid nearly 10 grand for it.
@@fishmut is that a common thing with e kits? I'm having trouble with my module. Keeps shutting off on its own. Also I've busted many cymbal pickups and soldiering back together only works sometimes but the module is my real issue
@@bigdaddysprinkle Damn, how long did it lasted before it run into those problems? how much was it to get it fixed? i know that is one hell of a kit and sounds amazing.
this guy is so wholesome i love him
❤❤❤
I could listen to you all day playing along with the demo songs. You totally can see just how much FUN you were having.
Even though you didn't mention it , I appreciate the fact that you set your pedal beaters to use the rubber and not the felt side of the beaters, felt chews through mesh heads really quickly, rubber on the other hand doesn't.
Oh. Good advice. I'm not a drummer, but I did notice the frayed ends of the head, so I purchased some of those adhesive rubber circles. Will that help?
@@machupikachu1085 yes just replace those when needed
That Rock with You track is ABSOLUTE GOLD. can’t believe that came on the module lmaoo
These budget kits are awesome! Thanks for reviewing dude 🖤🤘🏽
Sam you are the one who pushed me to learn, Joey inspired me and you were the push I needed. Keep on rocking on 🤘
Indeed
I haven't laughed out loud so much in a long time. You demoing the kit is absolute comedy gold. Loving your work :D
This... this has potential. I kinda want an electronic kit for ease of recording and streaming. This might be the one. Only thing I would have liked to have seen is a in-room mic, so I can hear how loud the pads are acoustically.
Aye good thinking
No loud at all. Just sounds like tapping
@@carriepaulicelli942 YAY, thanks!
@@Grindhead_Jim I own two electronic kits. It’s just tapping as loud as your speaking voice!
I can't give exact dB, but it's not crazy, ~~maybe ~65 dB range?~~ Correction: I tested, it's 87 dB. Louder than a wood & rubber practice pad, probably 50% more, but that's still not very loud. I bought an Alesis kit when I lived in an apartment. The bass pedal was still a bit noisy on the floor (because METAL), but I wasn't worried about the pads/cymbals. Mine has the mesh heads which are very quiet, but I've played a few Roland and Alesis hard kits and they sound a bit like a Rock Band kit, just lower tones because the pads and cymbals are thicker and higher quality than the toy. Playing a standard quarter/eight/sixteenth rhythm on the rubber-coated hi-hat/crash sounds like a standard metronome, if that's an accurate comparison. For recording/streaming, the rear 1/4" jack is super easy to connect up, right now I'm running mine with an XLR converter into a loudspeaker, but I've also just plugged straight to my mixer. There's also the midi option, which at least with the Alesis works well, and probably does with this kit. I use mine for practicing with Melodics. For streaming, you can hook a foot pedal mute switch up to the mic so it doesn't pick up the acoustic pad sound, if that's a concern.
That kit sounds pretty good. Some really interesting presets. The expandibility looks nice too. I bought my young daughter the DED-200 kit for Christmas and it is an amazing value, but this looks like a clear step up.
The energy in this video makes it a whole other level of fun to watch. I’ve been looking around for e-drum kits and never found a review that stuck with me. This review made me so enthusiastic for this drum kit! Thanks you 🥰.
thank you!!
You’re an inspiration brother! I’ve had to stop due to (4) back surgeries in the past two years and you’re making me anxious to get back to it. Keep killing it!!! 🤘🏻✌🏻
Oh, and most importantly, Thank you for sharing your Greatness 🤘🏻✌🏻
thank YOU Mike and I hope you've been recovering well!!
I just love seeing the patterns in his pocket. Switch styles and genres so smoothly.
Thanks for the demo - Nice playing! You exhibit a healthy balance between the seriousness of the task and a strong tendency towards extreme silliness.
Loved the "Rock With You" section. That shit had me so impressed. Excellent work as always Samus 🤘🏾
Glad I’m not the only one that picked up it was Rock with you by Michael Jackson
@@zippyplaysdrums2756 Some of us still remember the classics. Off the Wall is a criminally underrated album. By today's standards, of course.
I lold for the blast even tho I knew it was coming
Thanks for the review! I bought this for my son's 11th birthday after seeing this. He loves it! We love your channel!
thank you Ted!! ohhh yurrrr!!
I'm really impressed with the quick response of the bass with the double-pedal.most kits in that price range can handle that.
I can't tell how much fun I had watching this, loved how you literally poked blast beats and fast double bass everywhere hahaha, It made me feel like I definitely gotta buy one of these bad boys. You are awesome Sam!!! I hope to see more gear reviews like this one.
It's also really cool to see you're still improving your drumming, you're doing amazing! ;)
the thing is you have to buy your own double kick which would cost like 1/4 of this kit
Sam you inspire people like me who know nothing but have an interest in the drums to play. You look like your having a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing,
thank YOU Darwin!
I have no idea who you are, but you're a darn good drummer, you've got a wonderful attatood and the hair is great.
I don't know how I even came across this channel. I'm not a musician. I saw your review of that nice old lady who plays drums like nobody's business. Then I saw one video of you playing the drums, shredding the guitar *and* playing the organ.
I didn't even realize how talented you are because you're so generous with praise for others.
Since learning that David Draiman trained as a classical cantor, I've understood there are some very gifted musicians, with very sensitive souls, in heavy metal.
I dunno, seems to me that generosity of spirit, humility about one's own talent and the cheerful demeanor that you clearly have doesn't line up with the satanic image most people ascribe to heavy metal players. Seems to me, metal musicians are more than the image.
Excellent video! I never played real drums but I played Rock Band drums for years. It looks like you had so much fun with that kit that i'm really tempted to get one. Good job! Thank you! 🥁🤯
One of the most entertaining reviews EVER! Thank you! \m/
This channel is gonna make me start playing drums again thank you samus
that's awesome dude!!!
Never thought I would hear a Michael Jackson tune with a blast beat. Priceless
man i love your energy! never stop being you brotha!!!
5:40 Smells LIke!
Great unboxing/review as always! Rock on!
I see their samples are still completely clipping like the original ded200, but in a way I kinda like their distorted/overdriven drum sounds. It does look like a much better kit though. I love the demo songs!
The stand on this is eerily similar to the one I own (Millennium MPS850), ever tried one from that brand? They're super popular on Thomann
I have the Donner DED-80 and I loved your review for that set. I'm an absolute beginner and well into middle age but LOVE playing them every day. I figured for only $230 it wasn't a big investment. I only wish I had known how into drumming I would be, then I would've spent more on a kit like this. Maybe I will upgrade in another year or so if I don't lose this passion. You are so skilled man, it's a joy to watch you and your videos. Thanks for doing them 👍
I love how much you enjoy doing this. I loved drumming. I miss it for sure.
Honestly, favorite part of this video was watching you cover all the different styles of music. I mean, I’m mostly here for the metal, but it was cool seeing you doing a bit of everything.
Liked that very much, too. :D
Samus: Plays ‘Smells like Teen Spirit”
Me: the memories
8:45 the "makes everything metal" guy returns :D
thank you so much for the double pedal demo, some of these cheap kits cant even register that many fast hits with the double pedal and most youtubers dont even try double-pedal. good to see this one does handle double kick well!, dont really care about the on-board module sounds, plugging it into the PC and loading up Superior Drummer or GGD is always best
Its very impressive for the price, kind of considering buying the same kit as this.
And, I really enjoyed this review.
The drumming, humour and the damn laughs😆
09:01 = gold
You definitely should, I got one and it sounds just as good as it sounds!
I've been wanting to play again for decades, never able to afford the space or noise or an acoustic set and I have always drooled over a Roland kit but I think this one pushes them out of the way. Sounds great, I didn't catch any missed notes, and for the money, on sale on amazon currently comes with a base peddle and throne which the Roland kit doesn't which means not only is the Roland kit $200+ more you also need to buy your own peddle and throne driving the price even higher. Now I haven't touched a drum since the early 90s so dropping a grand or so on a kit I have no idea if I can even still play was a no go.
That was/is my EXACT situation. Three decades for me. This kit is PERFECT for me because I'm not looking to get back into a band or anything. Just for fun.
this looks awesome!
Those dynamics are great
Way better than what I started with for what looks for way lower price.
i really like that u play every genre for every preset! this is wild!
i went and bought it direct from their website after watching this. it was marked down to 579. they have an additional cymbal kit for 100$, and I used a promo code and got that cymbal basically for free
Dude this is what i needed. I havent been very motivated after taking lessons for 7 years, but my kit at home is a shitty old ass e kit wich has just started getting worse and worse. Its impossible to build it like a real kit because of the rig, and the drums have shitty plastic like heads, when i hit the ride, the ride sound is there, but there is also a little sound of the kick. And when i hit the kick, it glitches sometimes and makes 2 kick sounds. The snare is horrible too, because when you hit in the middle it almost makes no sound, but when you hit in the edge its way to loud. And yes, i have tried to turn up the snare volume, but the module is way too dumb for that. When i try to practice to the build in metronome, it randomly starts playing an in build song out of no where at fucking 250+ bpm. The drum sounds also sounds like a 10 bucks hello kitty from kit from Walmart. I hope you enjoyed reading about my shitty E kit.
Awesome review as you actually play all of the different music styles to go with the kit sounds!
I love the genuine smiles when something catches you off guard
I loved the blasting to Michael Jackson's "Rock With You" that was audible SEX.
Thanks for the review dude. I'm just getting into drumming at 47 and needing an e-drum kit for inside because the acoustic kit sounds bad in my room. Plus the dogs hate it. I just got this kit for $100 off before the sale ended. It will be here Tuesday.
I just got mine, and am loving it. 57 here, so don't feel bad. it's good exercise and I always wanted to get back on the drums. Just for fun.
@@billko867 ...I think more of us older fellas and gals are finding our youth again lol 54 here and just got an electric Dtronic q-2 plus second hand one , never played drums before so I’m at the start of it all lol 😂
@@fishmut That is SO AWESOME. You're making music, and it feels GOOD.
I love how much fun you have in all your drum videos! 😂 I got my very first E Kit yesterday for Christmas, Simmons Titan 20 and that thing is wild!! Still getting use to it, only flaw I have with to it is I'm not digging that single downward peddle bass kick but gonna see about getting a double kick pad
there is a calm song demo playing in the background and he just blasts on it, so funny. Also a great video, keep it up 🤘😂
With that blastbeat included, I'd say those cables on the cymbals wont last long. :D
Hearing blastbeats over a MIDI rendition of "Rock With You" by Michael Jackson was the best thing I've watched in a while.
Thanks, Samus.
OK dude. I saw a little bit of this video in the review videos on amazon for this product and I came here to tell you that you are both hilarious and extremely good. Your ability to flow through all the genres is amazing. Your reaction to each switch was so funny especially when you went loose and found some techno beats, but I lost it when you went off on the Chinese setting. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Great video my friend. I subscribed.
lmfao, thank you so so much Zac!!!!
First time here
Amazing drumming Brother
A lot of dedication right here
Hey guess what, guess what,guess what?! I did a little research and ended up getting this kit based off of your review. Got it about 2 weeks ago. A lot of fun so far and best of all I can play in my apartment. My dbl bass pedal sucks but I can finally play whenever I want. Hopefully I'll do some drum covers I can post soon. I'm excited
hell yeah dude!!
Ay man, good stuff. Been having fun with real time toontrack kits yet?
@@metalliclark86 I do have easy drummer 2 but I haven't really messed with midi a whole lot up until this point. I recorded audio out of the module into my daw. I'll post what I have so far.
@@billdog4242 yeah, man, have fun. I'm looking into an e kit too and wondering how real time toontracks would go with it. I mean you spend a couple hundred bucks but get to sound like a couple THOUSAND bucks on your monitors. How crazy is that.
@@metalliclark86 oh definitely. It's awesome. Well worth it so far
I am not a drummer but now I want to buy this kit just for the 6:38. Well played😊
Samus this video was great man.. I was smiling and laughing the whole time. Not a drummer myself, but enjoy listening.. I find these different options to be Very cool and entertaining.. Thanks my Good Sir..💀🤘
Alright you've pretty much sold me on this. I recently moved into an apartment building so I can't just jam whenever I want so I've been looking for a decent low buck electric set just to mess around on & this one is definitely seems the nicest for the price. Thanks for the review. OHH YURRR!!!
Oh my god man, the blast beats during the jam tracks had me in tears! lol
Was debating on purchasing this kit to practice/ learn on. Very helpful video on showing what it’s capable of
Love the video my dude! 🤣👍 I've been watching your channel for years, but just now got into playing drums (I'm a guitar guy). This video almost swayed me to get the Donner, but I ended up with the Alesis Surge for the same price. It was really a crap shoot (.....) which one I chose, they seem to be nearly identical. Ohhhh, yurrrr.
I had just as much fun watching this as you did playing bro! 22x’s better than the last kit 😝🤟🏼
God damn, man, you are an incredible drummer. Very inspirational.
thank you very much!!!!!
I enjoy watching you drumming :-) plus you're good demonstrator
What a great video. Thanks for sharing.
Recently saw Herman Li give a review of a Donner guitar (I used to play drums many moons ago). Never heard of them before. Review was awesome bought the guitar and have been learning to play. Now I see they make drums as well. And again an awesome review by someone awesome. Sign me up for kit!!
9:08 Never thought I would hear blast beats over "rock with you" I had no idea that I needed this
Best review I've seen!
I love the gear reviews post more!!
Just ordered one! Can't wait to play it
This kit seems great, much better than my Roland TD-1k 🥲 Fun video as always, pulling off those blasts with ease, OH YURR! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Loved the Techno Samus, there :D man, you and Devin are a match made in heaven (or hell, for better measure)
Bro I got to buy me one! I love your demonstration of these style drums 🥁. I think my 2 son's would like to get down on these drum too. Looks so fun to experiment with😃👍
5:19 priceless reaction to the tambourine
This has to be my favourite drum video of all time, I have come back and watched this at least ten times
wow dude thank you!!
@@66Samus I’m not even kidding, after this video I have done hours of research into this drum set and have been watching many of your other videos, planning on getting this drum set once it comes back in stock for Canada. Love the videos, keep it up
@@lowercase_brody please let me know if / when you get it. I have also been doing a ton of research and am considering this kit.
Oh my gawd! BLAST BEATS!!! Right on. One day when I go for an e-kit (just a rudimentary one because I'm primarily a stringz boi), I'll likely go for this tbh. It looks like it's perfect for demos or if I want to have a friend over to jam without stripping paint off the walls (or drawing the ire of neighbors).
Have the 2020 version of it and that's pretty cool!No complaints for the price!
The joy on your face while going through the kits is hilarious
Wow ... genius drummer. Wish I could do that. 🤘🏻😂🤘🏻
Wow ! That kit sounds pretty good…I want that kit. I’m going to have fun learning with that one..lol thank you . I was cracking up too
I really like the tom sound on the "Funky" setting. Sounds more like real toms than the other settings.
7:04 that was sick!
0:44 "Feel like 10 inches" and no context is gold for my 5th grade humor
Close my eyes hard enough and the Oriental sounds almost like part of a Peart solo 🤘🏼🙏🏻
i just started learning drums and i'm definitely gonna get this
I have a Millenium MPS-850 and its amazing for the price!
@9:31 you officially became my hero. NOBODY blast beats "Rock with you" better than you my man! LMFAOROF!!! 🤣😂🤣In all seriousness (is that possible on this channel??) I did really enjoy the review. Keep em coming man. Ima join and subscribe to you right now. 🤘🥁
Nice. Not bad for bashing about for practicing. You sound awesome man. It's a pure pleasure to watch you 👍👍👍👍❤️. You tearing the guts out of Michael Jacksons tune had me rolling on the floor laughing. Have a great weekend.
Cool drum set
would love this kit, had an awesome pearl export series when I was younger and was able to work, but had to sell it. Been wanting to get an e-kit, but still, fixed income disability doesn't go far lol. still, awesome vid man and great investment for an entry-level drummer!
Your a really good drummer. When i play my Donner 200 it dont sound anything like yours. That discourages me and i dont play it hardly ever. But love watching you play em. Got mine when they did a 1 day sale. $250. didn't include seat. but had to try em for that price. Quality isnt bad. just didnt play like my "real" set. but much quieter.
ROCK ON
😂 oh yuuuuuuur. Always fun to watch yuuuuuuur videos. Makes me wanna lern the drums
@8:41 says it all! and the solo following might be confusing. but this drumkit looks like it has potential
the look of pure joy on your face is priceless
I like how at 5:41 he played smells like teen spirit that’s is just awesome
Your an awesome drummer
Got my first drum for $500 (alesis nitro mesh) and am having a blast. Even recorded my first drum cover with it. Love it
I will buy one, thank you for the stuff...
