This is the 2nd time I've checked out an electronic drum kit. Its not the most expensive or the cheapest e-kit, but its on the lower side of things. Only $799 on Amazon for this set of donner electronic drums! Ive played on a handful of e-kits, but its always been just messing around at a store or somewhere. Of course its hard to put an e kit on the same pedestal as an acoustic drum set, but when you stop comparing e-kits to acoustic kits you realize the value and potential in an electronic drum set.
Personally I did the drums sounds/kits on the DED-500 more than the DED-200 & DED-200Max, but the 200 series has more/better playalong tracks in my opinion.
This Electronic Drum Set Costs $799?!
Ngl, the more you listen to that last track the more 🔥🔥🔥it is 😂
hi david, i may get this kit, does anyone else have any other recommendations for a good ekit?
or more likely, it sets my ears on fire
The first track was actually pretty chill
yamaha dtx 402
J A Z Z
12:16 I can totally see how the ones making the e-kit has a meeting and were like "SO! What songs shall we add to this drum module"
and then they agreed to this
I can also think of the opposite
"What tracks should we put on it?
"Oh no one plays to those just do whatever"
"...you sure?"
@@TheSalPic Very much a possibility haha, one thing is for sure though: the one adding the tracks had a laugh while adding them.
It’s not out of tune, it’s JAZZ!
Thanks for making me spit coffee on my phone. 😂😂😂
You laughing at those built in songs made my day David.
Hysterical - something went vastly awry!
Drum module makers should save the space of 3858382 tracks and 1024 drum kits, and instead make 5 properly sampled and layered acoustic drums, 2 latin and samba voices and 2 or 3 for "808"/beat making. Kinda what Yamaha did, but with more velocities. Done. No need of "giantbottle2" (lol) voicekit, for example.
Would love to hear this on a Drum VST, It can give us an idea how well it triggers midi notes.
66Samus has a few videos about these.
my favorite use for one of those might be what 66Samus did, combining the two together with a huge trigger interface and turning it into a huge stadium sized electronic drum kit
Your production team needs an award: I laughed a lot during this review! Nice work, and great review!
Those tracks need to be released 🙏🙏
the music got knocked out of tune because the previous one had pitch bends and for some reason in midi players pitch bend CC is eternally persistent. turning it on and off should probably fix it
Almost sounds like the module is not properly resetting the MIDI sampler state between songs, causing pitch bends to remain at their last commanded values until forcibly reset by the next song?
Pure speculation of course, but that’s my guess.
Watching David having an absolutely hilarious laugh at those songs just makes anyone's day!
Bravo on the editing! I can tell you had fun with this video lol
Ive repaired yamaha, roland, ddrum, behringer and alesis electronic kits , and to me, the weird drum kits patches are always gold, especially if they are a decade old, and you cant even remember what genre that kits supposed to be! The old Yamaha dtx 's had some killer kits
That “Bouncin-1” kit straight up sounded like a beastie boys drum loop
You went ham with the editing on this one, I respect it!
Those songs are like walking into a bar and the band is drunk.... but watching David crack up over them was the highlight of my day 😂😂😂
You give the best demonstration one can find!! 💯
Thanks mate needed a good laugh. Hope to try out a e kit one day.
the 4 arm thing is a really funny editing trick haha i love that
Just ordered the 500. Played drums a bit and want to get into it more. This will be a huge upgrade from my 20 year old yamaha 8pc kit lol. Thanks for the review.
Me too
Thy saga shall continue.🔥🔥
that drum kit is better than my $1000 Roland Kit that I bought back in 2012.
Commissioning The Residents to program the play-alongs was genius.
That lick at 12:43 actually goes hard
Bouncin'1 at 7:25 made me challenge my dog to an impromptu Krump battle. You cant be doing that to me man!😂
Great vid! Never understood why e kits have so many kits that you would probably never use. Would much rather they model the sounds after drummers IRL kits
There are also those who like playing EDM and electronica sounds with their drums. Like me, for one. Not everyone wants an all-acoustic drum kits. 🙄
Loved the peel! 😄
damn, now i want to see your opinion on Alesis Nitro mesh kit, cause it's one of the best budget kits you can buy now
You are a really good drummer man
Ngl those 'songs' on the kit had me dying
Bro you playing along to the songs at 12:00 had me in tears 😂
So glad i stumbled upon your Channel
Solid video! They sent me the 200 Max and I was really suprised at the bang for your buck with that one. Hope to check out the 500 soon! Looks like a nice upgrade 👌🏻
Hey David! You should make a video on making drumsticks
Loved the video I’m a big fan I was wondering if you can you review the Alesis nitro mesh kit with the double floor Tom and extra crash I was planning to ask for it for Christmas as my first drum set but I wanna see how it is in a drummers eyes?
“Thunderous Drum” makes sense since “Donner” means “thunder” in German. 👍🏼
holy sht those backing tracks left me in tears
13:07 *squeak*
This is a really good looking drum
I have several those keys they are amazing also come with simmons and alesis kits but i buy mine from amazon but listed to be generic brands but i buy them in 5 packs. If you use bolt cutters to cut the end off the handle it makes great drill bit key. The keys work great all around amazing keys. Sorry i nerded out on keys.😂
First YT I laughed out loud (along with you David) for a while. Can you even call those songs!?
Those built-in songs. Wow. All of a sudden that first one doesn’t seem so bad!!!!
I'd love to see you check out Millenium e-kits, with testing them with VST.
Wonderful video, my $200 acoustic kit still makes me happier than any high $ electric can. ❤
7:24 Dude just decided to make up a whole house track right there.
11:35 is Rio Funk from a 1979 Lee Ritenour album Rio.
I didn’t have a good experience with donner kit. The triggers weren’t working correctly for several drums and my module seemed to not fully work right. I know I went over everything to make sure it wasn’t my error but nothing worked the way it shouldve. EDIT: the kit seemed solid, I’m not crapping on them. Just my kit seemed off. If you buy this kit just try and keep in touch with the company just in case
13:19 perfect transition / perfect music
Oh man those songs are amazing 👏 😍
Medeli, Aleshits, Pearl (plastic e-Merge) and now Donner.. same stuff. Even the drum key! Good kit for the price IMO. This module reminds me of an Aleshits DM10 original version.
I have a Millenium MPS-750X, and the sounds on the first kit you reviewed have some of the sound on mine.
How do you find the hi hat? I'm really struggling with mine on the 850 😅
@@donjonmastergaming5911 What do you mean? The hi-hat should come in the box...
@@studiodevelopments I mean how well is yours working 😂
@@donjonmastergaming5911 it works well, but you have to adjust it in the settings to your liking
The Alesis Dm10 mesh kit was a good kit , Have a go with on one of them!
The electron 7 samples sounded like the tones used for the beginning of "Oh Yeah" (Ferris Bueller)!
I'd really like to see the DED-500 controlling a VST, like BFD3 or MODO Drums. I realize that's not really your thing though.
Your best episode so far
Edit at 2:40 is impeccable and made me question everything
I noticed that of late the man has really stepped up his chops but now we know his secret.
Duuuude! Those songs are FIRE!!!
Just plug in the modul in ezdrummer or superior drummer and the sounds will be perfect 😊
I need the whole final song to jam to on my acoustic kit
Literally in tears and can't breathe after hearing those built-ins lmao
E kit hi hats have responsive problems but the one that Stephen did on his channel was by far the most responsive hi hat with dual trigger zones nevertheless great vid!
Stephen Taylor I assume ? The best Hi-hats I've ever played. They were the Roland Digital Hi-hat, sell's for $1000+ and works only with Rolands TD-27 or TD-50. Haven't tried the DW-e or EFnote's high-end hi-hat (Triple Zone, with bell ! ). I'm guessing these new Hi-hats are even better. I really don't need them as a hybrid drummer. Good thing, since they are super expensive ! 😀
@dilankarun9172 yes that him! Stephen.
Really enjoyed this production. Very funny. Aloha
I’m curious if these have midi out. Cause I would only realistically ever use one of these to record drums and use my own samples.
I desperately want to see you play/review the Efnote line-up of e-kits.
Those built in songs were some seriously advanced jazz
Sounds like an 80’s Casio keyboard. Do these sounds actually inspire people to play?
My Alesis Nitro Mesh kit is rockin'
THE SONGS!!! Oh that's the best laugh I've had all month!!
sounds great
For your next video you should make a monster drum kit with all your weirdest cymbals
So much sound effect in this videos, it's hilarious
I wonder if the tempo on the songs was slower than intended if you can change that on the module. I’m shocked they would produce something like that lol
can I suggest you look at (i think) the Mellenium PDS-1000, its a 1000 dollar(ish) acoustic like electronic drum set, and isnt to bad i think. And nobody seems to talk about it
Distantcry producers are gonna have a hayday with these songs
You had me laughing so hard I was crying at those “songs”!!😂😂😂
11:15 That’s “After The Fall" by Incognito. Great band. Intrigued as to what their song is doing in that drum kit?!
Your reaction the to the out of tune tracks was extra funny to me, because ive just been spending the last 2 hours listening to Cardiacs. Theyre a great band if you're into weird sounds & time signatures
Oh my god, that was soooo funny !!!!!!
I seriously was laughing out loud.
Hahahahahahaha
I thought you were punking us at first.
But.....wow !!!!!
That's worse then the ones that come on the Roland kits !!!!!
Haaaaaaa
But damn that was hilarious dude !!!!!
Nice playing too !
😁👍
Man those songs were hilarious 😂😂😂
Since you are on a electronic journey right now you should try out some efnote drums
Those songs remind me of the Casiotone I bought in the 80s.
12:10 sounds like contemporary classical music, kinda slaps
can u do a tour of all your drum sets
12:15 ... that's jazz baby
I been watching the sales i want to get the 500 , maybe even use the roland v6 module
I'm waiting for you to do a Donair drum set review
could you review the mps millenium 750x pro or the mps milennium 1000
Those sample songs sound like music class but when everyone is waiting for the teacher and playing whatever they want.
From about 11:50 on, I went into a continuous laughing fit. No words as it went into the deep depths of weirdness, LOL.
Can you please review the tama stagestar I'm looking to buy one
David uploads, I watch. Very simple equation
I’m considering purchasing this kit. Can you play the hi hat partially open, as well as open and closed?
Can someone help, I’m thinking of buying a new kit but I don’t know if it’s better to buy individually drums or a shell pack. It needs to be better than my current one (premier made in England) I was thinking a gretsch Catalina maple as my budget is 500/575 but I can stretch to 600. Can someone help, is it better to buy individually or buy a shell pack?? Thanks 👍
I always thought the Alesis electric kits were pretty good sound wise, but they are a bit more.
Not gonna lie, I'm quite disappointed.
I use the Roland TD-07KV and I'm just loving it. Really the thing that sets it apart from this kit is just the samples. Roland has some great sample packs even on their more budget oriented kits, that you can tell were legitimately sampled from proper live drum kits. Though this e-kit looks about as promising visually (has a semi-proper rack, mesh heads, decent kick pad, rims with triggers, wrap, etc.) the samples and the songs it include just make it seem like a toy more than anything else.
I agree. There's just not point in using these cheap modules. This kit is worth it for the pad sizes but the module is absolutely terrible. It's unusable for recording purposes. I have a Roland Td07 too and the sound quality is night and day. If you use a VST exclusively, this would be the only reason to use the Donner kits.
I would like to know how the hihat pedal control is on these kits. Is it just open/close, or is there a continuous range in between?
At this price, there's not gonna be an in-between.
these build in songs were the funniest thing I've heard in a while xD
Dual zone means you can play cross stick on the snare pad?
12:30 David is in music hell 😭😭
