Im a beginner and i live in a small apartment, this is exactly what i needed. The pads feel great, being able to move parts around, its quiet. Best investment ive made.

For someone starting out and not wanting to spend the money for a drum set, this drum kit is perfect. Got this for my son for Christmas. He plays it everyday. Its movable and he loves playing on it. We'll get a drum set in a few years if he should stick with it.

I cannot talk about how much I love this thing. It works in tight spaces, it's quite, it's simple and it's effective. In the package it gives you enough pads to practice on a simple small setup. Like a 4 piece kit with a ride cymbal. Personally I customized the setup and added other hardware such as a high hat stand, a boom and a straight stand to hold plastic practice cymbals to closer match my current setup. By adding my own practice cymbals it frees up the kit to utilize a 5 piece setup. It's such a small footprint I set it up in green rooms, backstage, on the street and even in the hallway of a tour bus. This thing has allowed me to practice everyday without bothering the neighbors, day or night. It has been one of the best tools I've ever owned as a pro drummer. But not just for the pros, I suggest this to anyone, beginner, pros, teachers and students. Obviously it's better to learn on an actual drum kit but if you can't or can't afford an electronic kit to practice on. This was a god send for me. Great quality, great design and very well planned out piece of gear. If you're a drummer you need this.

I got this practice set to start playing the drums again, I have a full size kit at my parents house but have not taken it with me due to its size, and mainly, the volume. This has been a great fit - it still makes noise of course, if you have played on a practice pad you know that they can still be noisy but this is a big reduction. I have it set up with the cymbals with mutes from my full kit and it plays just like a full kit. Seems very durable, and was easy to set up. It has been a great addition and now I can practice without having the whole neighborhood critique my timing.

Although it takes a few practice sessions to get comfortable playing on, this setup is worth the effort. I live in a house that is divided into apartments. I could never have my actual drum set here, so I purchased this. My favorite thing about it is how compact it is. I can carry it from room to room with one hand, and my sticks in my other. The adjustments are a little minimal, but I have had no problem getting them as close as possible to my taste, and then just getting used to it. Some people complain about the lack of pads, but this is plenty for me. All my lessons were on a 50 year old version of this, and it works just fine for learning 4-way independence and stick control. People have also mentioned that the pads come loose when playing. I have not had this happen once.

Pros:
Compact
Good Bounce
Quiet
Price

Cons:
Takes a bit to adjust to feel
My sticks make a squeak sound on the brand new pads. Like sneakers on a basketball court.
Limited adjustments
Crappy assembling instructions.
