Old Set Gets A New Paint Job
This rig is not new. It actually was released a few years ago by another brand overseas. It has received a new coat of paint, but no upgrades. It's not CLOSE to the same as it used to be, it is 100% identical and it is well known that Ddrum simply wanted to get back into the electronic drum market again, so....they bought the surplus from a failing company, brought it to the USA, painted it red and now you get old technology with fresh paint. It's a fair kit with a heavy duty rack. The rack is the strongest part of this kit by far. The sounds are.....well, a few years old, so...with that in mind, they sound a few years old. The drums themselves are your typical junk that you get with most kits with the exception of the white, limited edition mesh heads. It's the only redeeming thing about it really. The cymbal chokes are pretty laughable. The cheap pedals had to go right away. Here's where it gets ODD and BAD. The MAJORITY of the stock "song banks" (tracks to play along with) are of the Latino style. 50-60% of the tracks are Mexican for some reason. Tons of geezer music as well (1920's style Jazz that let's you try to play brush parts with your sticks by using a bad "Brushes" named snare patch). You can hit a button which shuts off the drum parts of the "jam tracks".....but watch out! The unit is lacking in processing power. If you play drums along with the tracks (even with the drum tracks shut off), the tracks will slow down and even skip simply because the processor does't have enough juice to take care of that task. The same thing happens if you try to use the AUX IN for your devices so you can play along with your own player. The Ddrum unit bogs down yet again. It simply can't handle all of that. So, the only way to play along with ANYTHING is to use a mixing board with the drums in a couple of stereo channels and ANY OTHER MUSIC through your own device and plug it into the mixer as well. Don't use the AUX IN or the "Internal Songs" and try to play at the same time....it will not keep up with itself. As far as USABLE sounds, they have a few and then a TON of things you would never use. They even left the full GM files on there. So, you get the Casio Telephone ringing and horses and dog farts etc. It would've been better if Ddrum would have at least TRIED to invent a kit of their own instead of rebranding an overseas failure.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
