Donner DED 200 Electronic Drumset - Unboxing and Review - Is This Kit Worth The Money?

[@BackWoodsBillyCraftBeerReviews]

LOL My wife looked at the electric drums.. from Donner. However neither of us are drummers either... We both play piano 🎹 guitar 🎸 violin 🎻... Cheers 🥂 🍾 Happy New Year 🎊

I have an Alesis electronic kit. I wish they mounted the snare the same way Donner does. Alesis provided a snare stand but didn't take into account that the electronic snare drum is 1/3 the height of an acoustic snare drum. So the stand they provide doesn't get the snare drum up high enough. They also included a cheap throne that doesn't allow my 6'2" frame to have my legs bent at the proper angle for the kick drum.

I know exactly what you mean - it's a little strange how they mount the snare.

Good times. Good times. Kind of reminds me of when I got a Fender Mustang 3 v2 amp. I'm not usually a huge fan of modeling amps, but it was somewhat fun (and definitely frustrating) trying to get the sound I was looking for dialed in. In the end I used a clean channel and incorporated my effects pedals. Much easier. That's a great little kit. A chance for some quality time with the family is always welcome as well.

Considered one for my grandson. He just got a squire classic vibe I bought at Sweetwater and he may want a drum kit too.

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

It's a solid kit. He'd probably enjoy it!

Dig-drums were on my list! But I just found out my friend of 47yrs and band mate for 10yrs! Is in hospice dying of cancer! That pretty much ends things! Bummer! Thanks Marty 🤘

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Oh man. Well that really is a bummer. So sorry for you both!!

[@papablue3015]

@Ranch5150SkinWalker I'm going to build 1last guitar an aldo nova in tribute to my friend Sammy Styx Sequenzia! Great dummer! 🫡😪 I'm bummed no one to jam with anymore! Thanks Marty 🤘

Yeah no Hot For Teacher with that single kick LOL. Is there room on that bass drum head for two beaters? If so maybe you can just attach a double pedal to it. Just throwing out some ideas, I don't know I'm not a drummer I just know a few beats and fills that's about it :)

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

There actually is and I saw a diagram in the manual for it lol. 😂

[@joebob344]

Any latency issues? Accurate when you hit the drum head?

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Doesn't seem to be any at all. I'm no drummer but it seems spot on.

Very dynamic sensors and you can choke the cymbals. The tech has come a long way.

I had a Simmons electric kit. It was good for it's limited capabilities. Now. You know how to play like Van Halen..... The secret is. You don't. It's that simple. Have a good day.

[@lloydmenzel3531]

And neither do I. Lol.

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

lol! 😂
