3 E-kits I would buy in 2024! NO PLAYING EXAMPLES

[@lobbyrobby]

1 year ago I bought my very first drum set. A Roland td-17kvx2. It's the only ekit/drums I've ever played but I really like it.

@@lobbyrobby the Roland is fabulous! That was the first e-kit I owned as well. I would compare it to the NuX-DM8 that I talked about in price and features, with one of the main differences being that the NuX has the multi channel USB recording.

I unfortunately do not agree with your list. All the e-kits on your list are budget friendly but not very good. All the e-kits you say you would buy in 2024 I would avoid no matter what the year is. Donner is a company specializing in budget friendly e-kits made in a factory in China that makes lots of e-kits and other things for all kinds of companies. Donner is not known for their quality, triggering accuracy, sensitivity, overall playability, and the internal sounds are horrible and there is not much edditing to make the sounds much better. Alesis is a budget friendly company that atleast makes better e-kits than Donner. The Crimson Ii SE is better than its predisesor but not an e-kit I would recommend. The Alesis Strike Pro Se or the Alesis Strata Prime e-kits I would recommend as they play and function like a drum set should. The NU-X-DM8 is another e-kit made cheaply in a factory in China. This kit is only slightly better than the Donner and another e-kit I could never recommend. I am not really sure how or why you think these are good e-kits you would buy? You mentioned what you liked and disliked about them but there are so many better e-kits out there not sure why you chose e-kits most concider toys of what a drum set should be. As a drummer or one who wants to learn to play drums properly would want an e-kit that does perform, play, and sound like an actual accustic set. I get price is a big factor but on the 3 e-kits you choose you can only get so far before wanting to upgrade or buy a better e-kit. I think just buying a good high-end e-kit is the way to go. You can learn anything on them. They have all the zones, they trigger fantastically. The sizes are more accustic like and not toy sizes. Lastly the internal sounds will be very good. If you want to learn guitar do you start with a toy guitar? Then why start with a toy of a drum set. If you learn drums on your 3 picks and then go to play an accustic drum set or a high-end e-kit you will find you can not play as well and will have to learn how a proper drum kit plays as there will be a relearning curve. Just get a good higher-end e-kit that functions like an actual drum set and avoid wasting your money on budget friendly toys.

@@Iamadrummer hey man, this list is for people who want to get an affordable kit and cannot buy a Roland or a Efnote, and are not complete dorks like me who research for hours every e-drum module and pad combination. And yes, I think at least one of these is a better buy than a low end Roland. And have you seen the Drumtec video of Ralph playing the Alesis Crimson? It’s better quality than you think. Cheers!
