It works great with a Yamaha KU100 Kick Pedal and you can use it with a powerbank and a 5V to 9V USB adaptor. And now plug it into a portable guitar amp with batteries for 100% outdoor fun.😀🤘

[@demonicsweaters]

Great info!

[@SkyP1e]

I wish this was available a couple of years ago. I'm not a drummer, but I picked up a Donner electronic kit so that I could attempt to add simple drum tracks to songs. It takes up a lot of room and is permanently set up. This is the sort of thing that I could pack up between uses and pull out as needed.

[@M.F.Hafizhan]

Iirc Donner also sells portable e-drums like these. the ded 20, the ded 50, and the ded 60

[@jsioux056]

Great addition to an acoustic kit- it's a blast.....👍👍👍

[@JesusJIMSreps]

If Roland or Alesis could pick this up and make it a bit better with the cables, the triggers, and the pedals. Also maybe some mesh head tom Tom's and this kit would probably be a top seller.

yeah, the line out is mono, I tried connecting a TRS to L/R cable and only got one side.

[@LucasGonzalezTube]

@@demonicsweaters Does it do midi via USB?

[@edzak7001]

Great review! You made me buy it! I would love to get your settings for the first kit you played from the get-go. I have been fooling around with my Lekato CPD-1000 trying to dial in my own user kits. Maybe I am missing something but most of the "snare voices" available are NOT to my liking. Face reality, once we dial in on a few kits (for me, that is one with a high snare, normal snare, and low snare), we simply play those. The same for my Roland kit. I play only 4 kits! Birch High and Low (again, with the specific snare) and Maple the same way! I am happy with that because the Toms and Bass Drum are then all studio "perfect". I don't change out cymbals when I gig, so I wouldn't do the same on my user kits. Would appreciate your help! Keep drumming!

[@johndef5075]

I like that setup better than my Yamaha dd65.

[@JesusJIMSreps]

hey justin I learned that you could swap out the lekato drum module with another drum module. would you be willing to do a video where you swap out the drum module with another, say maybe a roland or yamaha drum module just to show the viewers how things are with a different module?

[@SushiTimes2]

Hi I just received mine today and set it up. Can you tell me how to get a cross-stick sound from the snare rim? It seems changing the snare to a side stick changes the snare head to be the same. This is kind of a deal breaker if you can’t get a separate cross-stick sound on the snare.

[@wytslieftink5116]

good stuff sounds good even here from the laptop speaker.. big producers hopefully pick up on fact that some just want great simplicity to go wild on instead of full orchestra behind crap py display

[@gwugluud]

My Alesis mesh rack kit is beginning to be unresponsive with my vst drumkits (Modo Drums and Addictive Drums); the vsts only see the hats some of the time. Switching to this since I want to give up on the Alesis, would clear out a good bit of room in the separate hut behind our house, which is pretty small, but kind of cool, because the hybrid “garden shed crossed with an efficiency apartment” is such a ghetto-ey punk rock atmosphere, lol. It makes me feel extra predisposed to do trashy rock, just by being in there.

[@NatePick]

You know.... I wouldn't mind buying this and having it beside my full-size electric drumset and use it for midi drum samples.

Do you know if they sell extra cybal kits for the hole that's on the right side?

[@eDrumsInANutshell]

Hi! Thanks for the review... Sorry, but.. I REALLY like those cymbals. Not as cymbal pads actually, but as ... you know ... cow bells, spocks ...other FX stuff. Nice! And they look pretty well build, as you said. Damn.

[@mtbg33k67]

Huh, I wonder if sustain pedal or the yamaha HH65 pedal would work with it. Those where switched based triggers, if i remember?

[@kunaikai]

I’d love to see it with a couple of sustain pedals as kick and hi hat pedals since I’m broke haha

[@demonicsweaters]

the pedals it comes with are essentially sustain pedals. I think it might be better to use the Avatar PD705 pedals with it. Since they are switches too, but work great.

[@alexanderharvey891]

Do the avatar pedals also work for the hihat??

[@alexanderharvey891]

I.e. have you found a good alternative for the hi-hat pedal operation?

[@alexanderharvey891]

@@demonicsweaters Not sure I responded correctly before… I just ordered this COD-1000 kit with Roland bass drum trigger. Have you discovered a decent solution yet for replacing the hi-hat switch “pedal”? Thanhs!

[@rbryll2002]

Hi Justin. Could I ask you to verify if this drum kit works with any of the *beaterless* kick pedals you own? I have the Avatar PDL HH-191 (which you also reviewed) and unfortunately it does NOT work in ether of the two available kick drum inputs. There is no response at all when connected to the "Kick Drum" (kick pad) input, and when plugged into the "Kick Switch" input it generates series of rapid multiple triggers (almost like short bursts of discharges) each time the pedal is pressed. So it's pretty obvious that the Avatar pedal is not compatible with the kit. I'm still hoping that maybe another beaterless pedal will work with the "Kick Drum" input and - most importantly - provide some velocity response (not just plain triggering at the same level). From your videos it looks like you have a few of those beaterless pedals lying around, so I would be very grateful if you could test them with this kit and respond to this comment. Perhaps the Yamaha KU100 pedal will work correctly? Thanks so much for your help!

I need help please. When kit is turned on all lights lit but no sound through headsets. Any ideas why I'm not getting any drum and cymbal pad sounds??? All connections seem good.

[@WilliamKreiling]

Everything is ok. Checked all cymbal and drum pad connections, and low and behold everything is working great now. Must been a loose connection. The kit sounds really good. Very realistic and far better than what I expected. I certainly can recommend this kit for any drummer who wants a compact realistic sounding kit at a reasonable price.

[@htt4691]

Hi, May I know how you can record its internal sound? Are you using lineout port or Midi out? Thanks!

[@huatulcowanderers]

Great demo, thanks for reviewing and posting. You mentioned you have reviewed a few tabletop drum sets, which one would your recommend overall? What kind of amp or speakers do you use? Is EZ drummer inexpensive and easy to use? I use the Roland DT-1 V-Drum Software where you can download midi files of any song you like and play along to it, it teaches you how to read drum music and keep in time ect. do you know if this set will adapt to that? The software loads on your computer, the computer ties into the drum module. Thanks

[@IsoMacintosh]

I have been thinking of getting an electric set for years on and off, currently living in a small apartment so this seems like it would be perfect, but there's few questions i have: Is the hi-hat pedal seriously just a foot switch that's either on or off? not having half open seems kinda bad. Any idea if the usb midi works with a longer usb cable, like 5 meter one? (Some usb devices don't work with long cables, so would be nice to know) Seems like it would be possible to swap the drum module for a different one with better hi-hat pedal support, is there any issues i should expect if trying that? (I have seen used yamaha modules for not too high prices, thinking those could be good)
