AKLOT Acoustic-Style Electric Drum Set: Independent 16’’ Wooden Bass Drum and 12’’ Snare, Triple-Zone Ride Cymbal, Standalone Hi-Hat, Full Mesh Pads, 460 Sounds, USB MIDI, Throne, Sticks (B-CORE543)

First impressions (and updated after a good workout) Set-up: - I was very impressed with the feel of the snare, kick and tom's during set-up. These drums are solid, somewhat beefy which is good for the action they'll get. The mesh head response is great out of the box and can be tweaked. - The mounting frame is solid, but maybe undersized for expansion with another cymbal and/or tom - real estate may lack and warrant and-on hardware to support or balance. The Kit is scalable with connections for to additional Tom or Cymbal. This is a good feather to allow configuration based on playing style. I personally like the freedom to tweak the configuration. I prefer an additional cymbal and tom for my playing style and will make it work. - The cymbal hardware on the rack is adequate. A future upgrade could include adding telescoping/swivel arm for better cymbal positioning on the kit. - The Hi-Hat stand is okay for beginners, but a seasoned drummer will want a stable stand with fluid operation. (It's actually very responsive and provides realistic pedal action). - The Controller could be a little more high-tech. A larger screen would allow for easier navigation and improved tuning articulation and precision. - Bluetooth connectivity to an external music source is great! (I was able to quickly connect to my IPHONE for background tracks. - The included headset is a nice addition, however using a good studio headset changes everything. (The sound is output is awesome) - The included throne is flimsy. (Based on individual experience) Overall conclusion - I (really) like the feel of this kit. The sounds (VOICES) are promising (much better with good headphones) but takes a little time and patience to achieve. Great investment.

Best kit for the money! Support was wondeful and setup was super easy. Works great as a stand alone kit with the drum brain and works great hooked up to my computer to run my own samples. Couldn't be happier! Its super quiet with the mesh heads. Definitely would recommend to someone looking for a real feeling kit but needing to stay quiet. Headphone out and usb to computer makes it exceptionally versatile and perfect for practice.

An honest review (I'm not endorsed by aklot, nor had I heard of them before I bought this kit), This kit is absolutely phenomenal! It's a bit smaller than a full acoustic set, but honestly that's perfect for my apartment setup. It's pretty quiet, which is great because no one has called in a complaint when I'm playing at 1am. It's incredibly fun to play, with tons of different sounds to choose from. And most importantly, I want to point out the value for the kit is unbeatable! I mean other kits like this by Alesis and Roland will cost you thousands of dollars, but this kit right here does the job and then some for a fraction of the cost! On top of that, their customer service is by far some of the best I've ever encountered. They'll answer any of your questions and be more than willing to help in anyway they can. Truly a wonderful experience, a wonderful kit, and a wonderful team! Seriously, I highly recommend this kit. Whether you're a beginner, or a seasoned pro, this kit will save your wallet, and be one of the nicest additions to your gear that you'll have!

Get an external speaker, a good quality one.. this set sounds very great with a quality speaker set.

This drum set is definitely worth the cost and then some! I upgraded from a DTX3 so this is like a whole different world, as it mimics an acoustic set. I have 2 amps hooked up so it's loud and sounds great at high volumes. Sometimes I just play the dead set with no sound. The mesh heads give it a much more realistic feeling so it's like I'm playing a real set but my ears and my wife are much happier. I do wish it had more sound options for the different drums and cymbals but you can adjust the tone up or down to get you where you want to be. Works great with a double bass pedal as well.

These are edrums that feel and look like acoustic drums. Brilliant concept and they really did a nice job and you don't see many like this. I upgraded from my already great edrum kit and the Aklot kit blows them away. They have a very premium feel and the stands are solid and heavy duty. They sound amazing and everything about them is just bigger and better except the price. Very reasonable for what you're getting. Highly recommended. Customer service has also been extremely responsive. Very happy I stumbled upon these.

This is a great set for a child, party band, dinner or church band, or for someone who is just starting out. Kit does look nice. 1- I am 5'7" with short legs, and the stool is too short in height, and the seat is made for a child, 10 7/8" inches wide. Industry standards start at 12 inches and up. I am not happy about that; I drilled holes on the drum throne to raise it 1 inch. Plastic seat mount bracket. I will have to buy a strong, wider seat for an adult; I am afraid the seat might break on me soon. 2- Had to modify Hi-hat stand to accommodate double kick pedal by bending legs on hi-hat stand. as shown in photos 3- All clamps On cage are plastic I expected that. 4- Will have to drill lock pin holes in the on-cage clamps because with use the toms kept going down; the cage clamps were torqued as far as I could. I even used alcohol to remove manufacturers' oils on the tube and clamps, if any, for a friction fit. 5- Not crazy about the module; would have preferred faders, but the price was right and there was a discount. A- Does sound good. B- Photos are almost as advertised. C- Description almost as advertised
