"I had a bit of trouble setting it up since there were no written instructions, just pictures. But once I figured it out, it was super cool! The sound through headphones is amazing, and the parts are durable. I can't wait to gift this to my grandson turning 9; he’s going to love it!"

"As someone who records, I appreciate that the kit hooks up easily to my board and provides a consistent signal. The mesh heads are really nice to play on, and while the built-in sounds aren't perfect, the natural sound quality during recording is impressive. For the price, it's a good deal."

I hope Donner keeps innovating with reasonably priced musical products!"

"After wanting to play drums for over 15 years, I finally got this kit. It’s the cheapest option you won’t outgrow quickly. The sound varies with how hard I hit, and I love the choking cymbal feature. While the included headphones are not great, I found decent replacements. I was set up and playing within 90 minutes! I’m really enjoying it so far."

"I would give this kit closer to 4 stars than 5, but I wish I could rate it 4.5. The kit is fantastic and has been performing well for almost a month. My second Donner instrument, and I’ve had a good experience overall. However, the headphones stopped working after just 3 days, and I’m not happy with the throne’s height either. I wish there was an upgrade option for the throne."

"I found this e-drum kit to be a great starting point for learning. It came with everything needed, and I managed to put it together by myself in about 40 minutes. The pads feel good, and I enjoy picking different built-in kit sounds. However, I found the drum throne a bit lacking in padding for my weight. Overall, it's a solid choice for beginners!"

"I really appreciate having a decent e-kit that doesn't break the bank. The responsiveness of the heads is impressive, and it's perfect for laying down tracks in the studio. Although I had some confusion with the threshold settings at first, the customer service helped me navigate it easily. I love how it triggers perfectly, making it a fantastic value for the price!"

"This drum set has been awesome for my night shifts. I can practice quietly while others sleep, and the sturdy high-hat is a plus. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the included headphones are uncomfortable, and the drum throne feels a bit wobbly. Despite that, it's an overall fantastic set!"
