Value For Money :
Excellent
* How long have you use it?
It's been a little over a year.
* What is so special that you like best?
The bounce and feel for the toms and snare. At that price, it can hardly be better. The kit itself is well thought out, easy to use and compact. The sounds are pretty well made and there are many possible settings. In addition, the training function are well thought out and built-in metronome is handy and useful when working with various exercises.
* What is so special that you like the least?
The cymbals and hi-hat. Common I think most of the electronic drums of this price, the cymbals do not choke, are "simple-zones" and if the sensitivity of the strike is detected, only the volume of sound changes, and it's not same (no possibility of "rider" a crash). The hi-hat sounds a bit "soft" and lack of a real movement of the foot and two cymbals I miss.
* Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Not much, but the standard (TD3 Roland TD6 and as well as DTXpress III and IV).
* How would you rate the quality / price?
Excellent. I got more than the current price (at that time the only real competitor was the TD3). But still, this drumkit is much better than HD1, good sound, good feel and especially the possibility of adding a TRUE double pedal.
* With experience, you do again this choice?
Maybe not. I had at the time of Sonor Force 505 that I might have a better feeling for triggée and less noise: the rubber pads are proving a bit noisy for the entourage.
That said, I advise all beginners or those with a tight budget wanting to practice without disturbing the neighbors too.
