    Recently, Donner sent me this awesome electronic drum kit to test out. I think it's great for young drummers who want to begin learning the drums. It doesn't have many bells or whistles, but at this price, they're not needed. It's compact, simple, and ideal for a young drummer's first electronic drum set (and it's not as loud as a real kit).

    • @revivedfears
      @revivedfears Рік тому

      It probably can but usually then you have to assign your ride as a hat hat or do without the hats. The pedal switch will also change the hi hat pad to a kick on a kit in this price range.

    Absolute newbie here. When you say “too small”, do you mean that the rack makes the stuff be too close together? Would a custom made mounting system solve the “too small” problem? Or am I missing something all together?

    So the kicks have sound? You don't need to buy separate parts? Sorry I'm just trying to get into drumming. I'm good at digital drums, I'm trying to get an electric one because i live in an apartment and you guys know how that can be.

    • @NickCesarzDrums
      @NickCesarzDrums  Рік тому +2

      The kicks have sound? Not entirely sure of the question. But the kick pedals connect to the module and allow you to play bass drum and hi-hat with your feet. You don't need to buy anything extra.
