ReviewsFeature:
it was fairly easy to assemble. It camewith all the cables, screws, and hardware. used it a couple of times to sequence rhythm tracks via the MIDI out to my laptop
Quality:
the rack leaves a lot to be desired. I had to do a lot of jury rigging with additional washers, nuts and bolts from the hardware store. three of the mounts broke during use. Had to drill holes for set screws to keep pads from sagging during use. no matter how tight the original mounts were they still would not hold. had to replace the kick beater because the original would not remain pointed toward the drum pad
Value:
this is the cheapest drumset on the market both in quality and usefullness i will never buy another alesis product
Desirability:
looks ok the students were impressed to start with and still used it until the sound module failed. I am looking for a replacement drum module on ebay will not pay the 350 for it
Sound:
sound is ok but not that realistic. can't mute cymbals
Ease of Use:
it is easy to use with lcd display and rotate knob to select drum kits. a little difficult trying to change the factory voices.
Support:
they wanted me to send back the whole set when one pad quit, same with the sound module which failed a month after the warranty ran out.
Overall:
i am looking to replace it as soon as i can get the money
