Value For Money : Excellent
We have the drumkit for over a month. Pay 749 euros TTC with a bundle stool kick drum + + + headphone sticks.

First printing: printing solidity everything is thick, stand, feet, etc. Second impression: real skin pads with Mylar, which inspires confidence. Surge Cymbals copper, good diameter, in needed, etc.

First Plug and ignition, ooh rgler will have the stuff, the DIFFERENT toms, rims, cymbals, dclenchent other stuff, etc. A quick tour of the doc, and especially on youtube and it was all good explanations for the cross rgler send / receive, the sensitivities of area thresholds dclenchement, etc. View forum DM10 Pro on audiofanzine I post links to these vidos who helped us much in my posts. Within an hour, we obtained very satisfactory results, the drumkit reacts to a quarter of hair, etc. It was of course before the module vrifi his day was good, in fact, the latest update offers calibration options advances foot hi-hat that is certainly lment most sensitive kit (so it works well).

Before buying this drumkit was test Rolands TD4 and TD9 much Chres I will return it two days ago I returned home Milonga re-try these batteries to compare hot with Alesis . They had also tried a Yamaha 600 euros, I do not remember the exact model.

The particular feature we like best: deep toms with two zones and suitable diameter, skins mylar much better than rubber pads, cymbals (ride 3 zones) chockables which are very beautiful and do not toy, and the sounds that are in my opinion sounds Rolands superiors with whom we compar. FYI, the electronic drumkit Pearl 2500 euros has the same cymbals and the same sound module.

The peculiarity we like least: the hi-hat foot is difficult to calibrate. FYI, it is my opinion Necessary to enter the TRIM tab of the calibration, it has good results with trim values ​​60:40 open / close, while the values ​​of need with just F1 / F2 are 70/06 was also chang curve raction for log4 if I remember correctly and we adjusted the treshold and sensitivity. Thus we have reactions on the closed hi-hat that is much better when fighting the open / closed notes. Default of the pedal: it is necessary to raise the foot well, you can not play too much heel / toe, it generates weird positions. I am considering buying a real hi-hat foot and mount a pressure sensor in the middle like that sells for $ 95 musiciannearyou.com. But hey, I'm a movie review, but you'll see when I REJOU on Roland, I retrouv the same defects (those that have no real foot charley, and TD9 td4, yet more Chres).

Report quality price: I told you, I returned to try and td4 roland TD9. Ouch, looks like small toys ct cymbals, small toms, etc. The td4 with just the snare and toms mesh skin rubber, with its mini cymbals, made ple figure, it looks like a toy. Only the touch of mesh skin is more enjoyable, but it's pretty subjective. Sts skins are mostly quieter than mylar skins. The TD9 with skin mesh throughout and sound module is already much better, but also, cymbals, size and especially the sounds are my sense of quality infrieure. Reminder: The DM10 is 749 euros, roland td4 with just a mesh skin over 950 euros and TD9 over 1200 euros. I plan in the coming weeks to mount mesh skin on the Alesis to see if it is more pleasant (installation very simple, see vidos DM10 Pro forum here on audiofanzine not welding, etc.)

We prvoyons in the year to buy a 12-inch tom Alesis to mount snare and tom dplacer the current 10-inch second tom, buy a real hi-hat with the sensor which I have spoken and edit mesh skins everywhere. This drumkit is noisier than the Rolands, this does not Drange, we do not have neighbors, but consider if you're in an apartment.

Just FYI: we also have the drumkit connected via a module pro twelve o'clock Madcatz our game console and is recognized "out of the box" with Rock Band 3, which adds a fun thing lment.

So for whoever buys the drumkit and out of cardboard -> a ride on the forum for help vidos configuration. Vendors had we not advisable because this drumkit supposedly people could not the rgler but rather see this as an advantage: a better drumkit for much less than the competition! Great sound module, multi chockables areas cymbals, skins compatible mesh pads, a very solid look, etc. No one pays the brand as in the competition!
