Lekato CPD-1000 Portable Electronic Drum Set

[@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.

[@smellymala3103]

Bro this comment is just silly read it back

[@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.....👍👍👍

[@InotRim]

I want!! But I dont know pedals options models, can u help me? Cheap and good working pedals options, models in amazon?

[@Jcgalllo]

I would assume the KD-8 Kick would also work? Curious why the Hi-Hat pedal didn't work though, I have the FD-8 and would love to use it with something like this.

[@Fumanchuisnotdead]

When there are some decent pedals I'll buy it, for now I'll wait.

[@zKo87]

I love the concept, it needs more though. I need more cymbal triggers and better feetsies buttons... And 3 of em!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

Bom dia ,meu amigo , pergunta do Brasil , como você instalou esse pedal de bumbo ? Tem algum vídeo explicando ?

[@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.

[@EchoKraft]

That’s pretty cool !

[@shawngrenaud]

I could see something like this coming in handy, at times. The line out appears to be mono but the USB/midi is a nice feature. 👍👍

[@demonicsweaters]

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?

[@KateWandless]

I don’t get a chance to get on my main kit anymore, I was looking at either building a tiny mute kit or getting something like above, it looks like a cracking solution

[@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

[@andreazavareei6548]

Does anyone know if the MIDI notes can be reassigned? My Hi Tom sounds like a hi-tom via audio, but going into Pro Tools Kontakt it triggers a cymbal note. It is just one higher than a high tom, so it seems like a programming problem. It's triggering C2 instead of B1. Thanks.

[@DesolateMourning]

I bought one of these after watching your video. There’s a second bass/kick cable. Can you put that on another exterior pad and have another pad?

May I know did you do any modification on Cable before connecting to Roland KD-7? As the bass drum interface originally come with TS cable instead of TRS

[@demonicsweaters]

no, there are two cables on the unit, one is designed for trigger, one is for a switch. Use the trigger one.

[@catherinesordini]

Hey there! Nice demo! Any possibility to change the module for a Roland TD-07 or a TD-17? Will it still work with this kind of module? Thanks for the answer 😊

Could you try it out with your TD 6 if you still have it? I have a TD 6 and would love to consolidate to this with a TD 6 brain and theRoland triggers. The form factor is awesome. I realize it won’t be a 1:1 for all the triggers. Thanks and great channel!

[@jhneilson]

What would be a good basic module upgrade to allow for a better hi hat trigger? Awesome demo!!

[@demonicsweaters]

I don’t think it would be worth upgrading the module on this set. You’re better off just using a VST

[@jhneilson]

@@demonicsweaters Do you think the hi hat trigger/pedal is serviceable as-is then? I would be using a VST anyway, just really liking the compactness and thought perhaps a different module might allow for a better hi hat pedal.

[@kunaikai]

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

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.

[@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)

Hey, does this allow for a double-kick? I see there is an unused cable with a cap lying on the ground near your foot. Could that be plugged into another bass pedal?

If u have a kick stand you can use double/tripple whatever. You can pick up second hand Roland/Alesis etc kick stands which will plug in quite cheap. I have an old DD set in bits in the loft where I could use the hi hat and kick

make sure you're plugging it into the correct cable, you need to use the one that has the cap on it.

[@kabayamavillage6654]

I don’t have any cables with a cap. I’m plugging it into the cable that’s says Kick.( the one that the supplied foot pedal plugs into) and I’m getting cymbals going off when I kick it and then every 1 out of 10 it will be the bass drum. I’m very new to all this but I cannot figure it out. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks mate.
