The FESLEY FED 1200W might be the best drum under $1000 for 2024

[@RonzoDrumz]

I got my new fesley fed1200w & can't keep my hands/feet off them. Got to give huge shout out to fesley & it's workers. 5 stars out of 5 !! They went extra mile to make sure I was very satisfied. Band students,garage rockers, & the born drummets in us all should tryly consider his kit. As sr old rocker is really dig these drums. Ronzo like@@

[@Stan-r4f]

I bought this kit about a month ago. Im new to e kits so i don't know how it compares to other brands. It's sturdy, has generous sized drum heads, actually the kick drum is more sturdy than i anticipated, love the snare size and the hats having is own stand is a plus. It seems like it lacks in the sound department. Over all four the$850 i paid for it...i like it.

[@KeithronPowell]

Cool

[@RonzoDrumz]

I love the fesley fed1200w! I got extra 12" snare .i just scored 3 simmons new metal cymbals & new kp180 ekick drum. Both look like hi end classy but sound great. Exact solud triggering. Waiting for 16" mc16 simmons to complete entire drumset huge upgrade!

[@KeithronPowell]

Very nice!

[@dannyeggleton7362]

I’ve had my Fesley about a month now, best kit I’ve had. Previous was Simmons sdk9, Alesis Dm10, Fesley outperforms them both and NO silent snare! I’m happy with it!

[@KeithronPowell]

Comparing to old ones I’m sure.

[@mountguitars]

I love your reviews. They're so detailed and even the tips with the assembly. Subbed!

[@waywardwest]

It looks like it's definitely worthy of the price increase over the 1000 given the upgrade in the control module, components, and rack. It's still the best least expensive kit you can get that incorporates a real hi hat which is huge.

[@KeithronPowell]

It’s great because of the hi hat but the sounds fail it. I think the kit itself is dope. Just wish I could use the module from the SD1250 or T70

[@RonzoDrumz]

I've had fesley fed1200w couple months now, love it. I got to give 5star recommendation to fesley!! I had damaged carton & fesley replaced drum damaged. They went extra mile after a replacement set just arrived. I'm pleasantly stunned w Fesley customer service/engineering / company in general. I will buy an amp, guitar, keyboard in future! 5 stars to Fesley- pro features edrumkit that regular folks can afford. Bang 4 buck winner...

[@djhorn5769]

I definitely agree with you about the sounds on this particular drum kit. The sounds leave a whole lot to be desired, and I’d have a hard time spending 800 bucks if I had to base this kit on just those.

[@Mike-xq8bv]

Just your option how many kits do you really need anyway lol and are going to play live anyway and that's just his opinion because of his taste in music start there I need to look at the brain to see what he's talking about saying it's retro vague statement there every else looks nice is this a Rolland hell no , but price sell this kit needs reviewed by other people that dive into this kit more realistic I'm sure you can modify sounds toms ECT.

[@KeithronPowell]

Agreed. In future reviews I’ll dive a bit deeper. I think the sounds are decent except the decay is unrealistic. I can’t wait to see what others think as well.

[@jorgethedrummer2112]

I love the feedback I'm buying the kit but apparently there is a 1500w not sure if it's come out yet but wait until you see this kit check it out brother

Titan 70 still my favorite e kit for under 1000$.

[@manowar4046]

Yeah, the Titan 70 is a beast.

[@KeithronPowell]

I can’t argue with that. It’s awesome

[@andrewledweg3472]

Fed 1200w vs. Titan 70 Which one do you feel is a better kit for a young beginner to grow in?

[@KeithronPowell]

That’s not an easy question. If you’re looking for a realistic feel the 1200W feels more like an acoustic but there again, a beginner won’t know that. When it comes to sounds the Titan wins hands down. The main thing that makes this a better buy for a beginner is that everything you need is in the box.

[@FesleyMusic]

Thank you so much! enjoying it! cool man!!!🆒😎🥁

[@KeithronPowell]

You’re welcome

[@bernhardhaider2324]

What about changing the Module? The Drums, Cymbals, Hardware and the Rack are stunning, AS far as i know since your Review... So, why don't try to Change the Module to a better one, or even better Sounding one? What would you Recommend? Thnx,🥁🥁

[@KeithronPowell]

Ok… so in the initial review it’s a good idea to NOT make changes. Now that I’ve down that I may make some changes but… does that really make a good drum set? I’ve done at least one test and found that the hi hat will not work properly on the Titan series drums (no video). This logically means the module will likely function well for everything except the hi hat… I’m also, sure the Tom’s will become dual zone exactly like the T70 (multiple sounds) instead of the tom sound from the Fesley module. In my opinion, it’s better to use the drum with something like EZDrummer. This would make for a great drum if the sounds were better.

[@bernhardhaider2324]

Okay, thank you Keithron. I know what you Said . So, If i choose that Kit i just Set Up it trough EZ or SLATE or whatever and i' ll be satisfied with the Sound . 🥁🥁

[@StephenNorman]

I've had mine for a week and it's a great drum kit for the money, however I do agree that the sounds could be better. And the throne is just too small for me to use, but atleast it holds my laptop so I can run my own sounds in EZDrummer.

[@KeithronPowell]

EZDrummer makes this a killer drum set

[@keystonepirate2534]

Stephen sir, do you use any 3rd party sounds? Did you try EZdrummer? Thank you in advance sir.

[@keystonepirate2534]

It has a choke on the cymbals ! What! Mind blown

[@StephenNorman]

@@keystonepirate2534 Yup, EZdrummer is great with this kit. I'm more of a rock/metal player so I'm using Ugritone VST sounds now.

[@FossilFarmBand]

Great review, Keithron, informative and engaging! One question, how easy is it to break down and move for a gig, and how long to set back up? Does it have to be stripped down, or does it mostly fold away?

[@KeithronPowell]

It’s simple as long as you do NOT take the cables off the rack.

[@FossilFarmBand]

@@KeithronPowell Cool, thanks!

[@chrismartin2582]

I thought the toms sounded pretty good but the hi hat closed and snare were pretty bad. Maybe the 1400w will address those issues until then Titan 70 looks like the best kit for the money. Thanks for the indepth and honest video.

I have the alesis nitro mesh kit and I am thinking of buying the Fed 1200w, do you recommend this change? Excellent video bro!!!

[@aggressiveaccents]

If i were moving from an Alesis the only 2 ways I would go is Roland or Yamaha. Your moving from one beginner kit to another beginner kit.

[@sergioandresrodriguezcor-nf6mk]

@@aggressiveaccentsbest answer ever

[@KeithronPowell]

I’d answer that two ways. 1) because of the hi hat and 12in snare also, the rack. This drum feels more like an acoustic. If you’re going to be moving back and forth the natural feel makes this great. 2) the sounds and the module are the real issue. If I was going to buy for something other than practice I’d have to get a different module. If this has the Roland, Alesis or Yamaha module it’d be a really sick drum set. To me the drum set is physically better than the nitro mesh but the module is 5-10 years behind.

[@jorg3lio]

@@KeithronPowell I use my alesis nitro with ez drummer 3 to improve the sound, do you think it is convenient to change the nitro for the fesley fed 1100 o 1200? contemplating that I will continue using ez drummer 3 to improve the sound. I'm worried about the fesley snare will cause problems as the video shows. Alesis nitro works perfectly with ez drummer 3 but fesley looks amazing vs alesis nitro. Tnks!!

[@pastorkev777]

Seems like a solid kit I like multiple features of this set, considering this vs Simmons Titan 50. Have you tried the Fesley 1500 they have now? I am not apposed to using 3rd party drum sounds, I want feel, reaponce, durability and familiarity compared to an acoustic set.

[@KeithronPowell]

They told me they wouldn’t send it because the things I said about the 1200 would be the same as the module is basically identical.

[@rjmdrum]

Thanks for posting. I have never heard of this company. I am looking to replace my beat out GTX Yamaha drums at I used to teach for kids. I’ve been playing on the same ser for well over 12 years and I’m wondering if I would be able to just use my DX brain substitute for the brain that comes with that kit. thanks for posting

[@KeithronPowell]

You’ll just have to try it. I don’t have that module to test it for you.

[@PhoenixHull18]

How does it do will software I personally have superior drummer 3 and does it fix the dynamics of the drums but I’m purposely using this kit for my software is it any good for that?:) thank you for your response in return

[@KeithronPowell]

I’m going to do some more testing but I’m sure the programs will make them all better. The Software becomes the module and that’s where the magic happens.

[@HardRockinJohnny]

Keith, as far as a transportable an overall best 2 gig out with, would you recommend this or the Titan 70?

[@KeithronPowell]

As along as you remember to not take the wires off the rack and to not take the rack apart, I’d suggest either.

[@travisfinnerty156]

Can you switch out some of the fesley drums and cymbals with the titan 70? The hihats/ride cymbals the titan could be fun. Or the fesley snare with the titan

[@WyattLite-n-inn]

@@KeithronPowell Wow, thanks .. Love your videos Keithron …

[@keystoneskiguy2718]

Keith. I have a Simmons Titan 70, which I believe is superior as a playing set. Four toms, expansion ability (I want to add another cymbal in the center between the first two toms). I don't like the flimsy plastic hardware and are going to buy extras in case they fail over time. The wiggling is a bit annoying, but as long as it holds together, it's not that big of a deal as there is no reason to hit electric sets hard anyway. On the Fesley 1200, clearly the hardware is superior, but the module seems poor compared to the Simmons. The double clicking on the hi hat is unacceptable to me, and I would be pissed off big time by it. Maybe they can fix it with a software upgrade. If one was going to use external sounds on a computer to drive the set, then it would be fine except for the hi hat issue. I find the sounds and ability to make my own custom sets in the Simmons adequate, and don't feel the need to run it through a computer. I enjoy your reviews! Keep up the good work!

[@KeithronPowell]

Thanks! Yeah, if they fix the sounds and the double trigger issue… whoa, this would be a monster set for under $1000
