Donner DED-200X Electronic Drum Set, Electric Drum Kit with Quiet Mesh Drum Pads, 2 Cymbals w/Choke, 31 Kits and 450+ Sounds, Throne, Headphones, Sticks, USB MIDI, Melodics Lessons (5 Pads, 4 Cymbals)

This is an extremely high quality Drum Set which enables a music-obsessed teenager to learn in great detail how to play the drums excellently well. Because the whole kit is electronically connected, the sounds are heard through the player headphones and there is minimal noise (only quiet taps) heard by others nearby. It is relatively easy to assemble but takes a while due to the large number of connected parts,I am delighted with the superb quality of this instrument and my drum-playing grandson is very happy and completely satisfied with the ease of use of this drum kit, which is bothy great value for money and.contains a very solid beautiful metal set of footpads. The electronics connections are superb.I unhesitatingly recommend this drum ket to other buyers because it exceeds all my expectations and the those of the happy recipient and his parents

Excellent set of drums. Had small issue when they arrived but used email to talk to Donner who gave me an answer that couldn’t be checked till Xmas morning. On opening the box the additional symbol was present and the ease to put it together was far simpler than we had all dreamed of.I can only commend the manufacturer for this excellent piece of engineering and electronicsTen out of tenIMW

An extremely Well made kit, if you're a beginner the module is a doddle to use.👍 Donner are a really great company they listen to what you say about their products. I would recommend the Donner ded200X as an exceptional starter kit good price on Amazon. You can get a good sounding user kit very real acoustic sounding drums Via the settings. You just have to mess around In settings to get them sounding great. My cousin has a Roland TD9-v2 and he played the Donner and said he likes it when he played the user kit he thought it was a drum vst plug in that I'd downloaded, he said they sounded real.

Kick drum, Rubber Pad, Pitch 00, Vel 03, sensitivity 02, threshold 10, RETR 04-05, Vol 90 /100, i have the Mesh head which i have put sponge in. make sure the sensor touches the mesh head and tune it very low with plenty of give, sensitivity 04, threshold 20, RETR 05/06 This is to stop the kick double triggering which you can get with a mesh head. You have Voice 04 which has a thud to it, Voice 10 has a room sound, Voice 17 has a more live sound, Voice 20 has a bigger sound. All the kick sounds are good when played in context with the kit. Snare Voice 27 is the same as 02 but with tighter snare they both have a good recorded studio sound, Snare voice 24 has a real tight ting/very tight ring to it. And snare voice 01 has a vibrant snare sound and rim shot on the rim. Crash 1 voice 10 the bow has a real cymbal sounding ring, the edge has a nice mellow crash, pitch 64, pan slightly left at 44, Vel 03, Sensitivity 03, threshold 08, RETR 04-05, crash 2 voice 10, pitch 64 pan slightly right at 88, other settings same as crash 1. Ride cymbal voice 05 set pitch 127, Vel 03, Sensitivity 02, threshold 08 Xtalk 03, RETR 05, Vol 125-127. Set Ambience at 02, and turn the vol so you can just start to hear it on the kick. Set treble to full, bass to 1/4 past. Use some decent headphones🎧 the ones supplied are very dull sounding, I use the OneOdio PRO C. They make the drums sound crisp detailed and deep you can get them on AliExpress for £22 about 8 days for delivery or Amazon £41 the difference is amazing. If you have the ded 200 X that user kit sounds great on most songs, you can really hear the difference on song 05 especially with kick voice 4. I have the recent updated module so I'm not sure if the voices are the same as the older version. I had a go on my friends Alesis nitro mesh it only has single zone cymbals!? My donner ded 200x has dual zone, the Donner ded-200 is a better and more sturdy kit. I have monster drums VST plug in on my laptop but i tend not to use it much as the mentioned user kit settings sound as good, I hope this helps? it does sound Great🥰 for the price, best budget drum kit under £400.🥁👍 I've donated the Donner ded 200x to the wellbeing centre in Bolton, I go down twice a week to play i plug it in the PA and it sounds fantastic with the mesh kick pad, double kicks are excellent punches far above it's price.

For the price, this kit performs well and sounds great. Donner seems to be the brand for the lower end of the electric kit market

Bought this for my son birthday who absolutely loves it

All arrived well packaged with lots of individually labelled boxes within a massive box. I'd advise having a lot of space to open everything and check all the components are there. Instructions on assembly are straight forward, and it's quite flexible how you can set it up (I like a floor Tom by my hi hat and a low ride in space of tom 2, so I connected tom 2 to the pole my hi hat is on). Comes with 30 pre-programmed kits, but you can build your own kit, adjusting sound, sensitivity, volume for each individual drum/cymbal. Can be a little tricky to figure out, but once you've done it, it makes sense. I put a really low note on my 2nd Tom which sounds just like a floor.Only 4 stars for a couple of reasons, but I was never expecting it to be exactly like an acoustic kit in terms of feel, was just optimistic.The hi hat pedal is delayed and has no graduation, it's either fully open or fully shut. The snare head is the same material as a tom head, kind of understandable, but you don't get the usual rebound. Headphones it came with were pretty useless, kind of expected that too but I paid for them in the bundle.One thing to be aware of when unboxing the kit with 3 cymbals. The 3rd cymbal is an addition to the standard kit, so component parts like the clamp, the cymbal itself are in different boxes to the rest of cymbals and clamps, don't panic!Also, this kit (10 piece instead of standard 9) comes with the usual 9 lead module connector. So an additional jack lead is provided to insert into the "crash 2 trigger" socket. I didn't realise this and was a bit annoyed. But I messaged the seller and they came back straight away to point me in the right direction. 5 stars for them.Lengthy review because I thought it might help someone make a decision. It's compact, it's flexible in layout (although I imagine people over 6' might struggle) but for the money and the play back options it's great. You can plug your phone in to the aux, headphones into the phones socket and play along to any song you want. For the money, it's great fun but if you're looking for a pro kit I wouldn't say this is the one.

The drum kit appears to be of good quality for theprice. However I cannot comment on the sound quality as the incorrect power block supplied? I am awaiting Amazon to resolve. Nothing from Amazon as at 28/01/25. I resolved by purchasing an EU/UK adaptor.
