"We bought our kids a beginner drum kit for Christmas, and the reviews said that the kit was excellent with the exception of the cymbals, which were cheap."
"There is another Meinl cymbal pack that is 200$ and includes these cymbals plus a 20 inch ride, however I personally recommend buying this pack and the ride separately, it's cheaper."
"These were a present for my son on his birthday a great gift for a drummer just starting out."
"If you are starting out and/or are on a really tight budget and need cymbals, you really ought to try these."
"These Meinl cymbals sound great and evoke high quality engineering (made in Germany)."
"SOUNDS GOOD THE CRASH AND RIDES ARE GREAT."
"The Meinl hi-hats are just a tad better than the Wuhans, but the Wuhan crash and splash are 10x better than the Meinls I got."

Best Drum Set Drums
With the included damping rings, the user can change the amount of ring in seconds to maximize attack and low end. 22" drum head made using two plies of film.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"My only gripe with this head is that the smaller foam ring doesn't stay on the head, it falls right out after a couple kicks with the pedal."
"But it also seems to sacrifice quite a bit of volume compared to Remo Powerstroke P3 Clear, at least on my kick."
"I let a friend play my drummer's bass drum when he came over to jam and he accidentally broke the drum head."
"I am no drum tuning pro, so when a head come ready to just apply and play.."
"I am in love with the elegant concept of achieving a good kick sound without stuffing anything inside of it."
"It delivers a heavy bass sound considering I'm using the 20" version."
"I completely agree with the previous reviews that say that it doesn't necessarily give the chest-resounding whump that you get from a down-filled pillow in the drum cavity, but I love that the rings allow for options in terms of the degree of muffling. In other words, before, the liner served two functions: to muffle the resonance of the beater head; and to add depth to the sound (the deep thump)."
"The seller I just bought this EMAD from decided to not tape those slits, or any part of the box the head comes in... I’m missing the included heater patch the EMAD usually comes with because it probably fell out of the unsecured box."

"My friend was going to use bells of truce in her wedding ceremony."
"Only complaint is that it comes with a dinky mallet."
"I worked for a start up and I was the product/release/project manager; we used this gong to announce releases and other big events."
"This hanging gong is an impressive piece that I keep in my living room."
"The resonance was more than I had thought."

"Good sound."
"Very happy and satisfied with the product, item was safely packaged and shipped in a timely manner, keep up the excellent work. Thank you."

One day, at a kindergarten meeting with his teacher, we hear Ode to Joy being played on the piano. I even played several types of music to them via headphones while they were still in utero..lol. I will be spreading the word on how great your product is."
"We saw a facebook post somewhere with video of a bunch of chickens playing one."

"The product seems very well made, and I was particularly pleased with the email from the company after I made my purchase."
"The notes have a great sound!"
"It's sturdy, the review about it being loose... ignore that they clearly don't know how a xylophone works."
"At first he was really smacking the key board pretty hard, but Grampa (me) helped him to be more gentle which did not happen overnight, and he's getting better everyday."
"My young grandson loves the colors and sounds."

"She had been using a larger drum, but her feet didn't reach the floor to grip the base of the drum, and her drum fell a lot."
"We purchased this for beginner class purposes and it has worked well."
"It is not quite as big as I'd hoped, but the silver lining is that it takes up less space in my instrument nook."

"The sound from this instrument and the quality of this instrument is well worth the price."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"But after 30 yrs of longing to drum again the Alesis Nitro kit has me back at my former level and able to practice anytime day or night without bothering my family or the neighbors. Finally, I went to Guitar Center to check out some of the more professional versions of electronic drums only to see a higher price also meant, heavier, less compact and very little improvement in sound-for-the-money. And best of all, the buid quality, setup feel, real pedals and overall experience put the user in the ananlog drum set world!"
"Crash and snare have multi-zone sensors which is something you dont find on many sets in this price range. Snare can get good rim shot sounds and you can choke the crash. You even have the option to expand and add an additional tom and crash which is not normal for kits in this price range. Bang for the buck - This kit comes with everything you need to start jamming including sticks a real (and good quality) kick pedal. This is a bit nit picky for a kit at this price point but I would have preferred a multi zone ride."
"Yes, you can spend more money and get better pads, but these work just fine."
"I imagine over a period of time they will wear and not have the same feel, but I've been playing them almost every day for the last few months and all has held up well (and I'm playing them like a normal kit, i'm not just tapping them). This is a good option for me to start playing after a 30 year hiatus, and while I can't review it against other kits or an acoustic one (I haven't played in so long), I would say that this fits the bill for what I'm looking for. The ones a played around with in the store that didn't have a bass drum pad didn't feel like a real bass drum."

"He has been making drums with small buckets turned upside down in the pockets of an apron."
"I loved the product, but it did get dents easily in the head and the straap was shorter than intended."
"Until this year, we've done everything to avoid what appeared to be a high price point for a "toy" drum, but all our reservations were gone as soon as it was in use! I was especially pleased to see an actual drum key, for tightening down the skin--that let me know this was designed like a real instrument, not just a toy! Our son who is playing now is five, and he spends much of the day marching through the house with his drum, while his little sister (or even I) follow him with the symbols."
"We bought this drum set for our 2 year old who is obsessed with the concept of drumming & marching."
"I bought this set after reading all the other reviews and they were right it was a little bit more money but a good invest for much futher family fun."
"The drum is sturdy and a lovely fire engine red."
