Alesis Turbo Mesh Kit - Electric Drum Set for Beginners with Quiet 8" Mesh Pads, Lessons, 100+ Sounds, Drum Sticks and Connection Cables

We got this for our 10 year old son who is doing drum lessons. Building was a pain in the bum but once built the are very sturdy and strong. The wires could do with a little more give in them but all just reached. It was larger than I expected and not so easy to fold away so will end up staying up and taking up more room, if you want quiet dont let your kids take drums full stop as you can hear him especiallythe foot peddles. All this said my boy loves them they have everything he has on his lessons the sound is amazing and he has been on them for days and days, it has the timing and lots and lots of other things for him to do now at his level but also when he does progress he can link a laptop to it and do other things also. We did by him the matching headphones to them and he has tested them to his gaming headset and he says that the alesis head set is better for the drum set, he wanted these over all others as they have the same positioning as a real drum set and the same sound and feel .being un musical myself i didnt have a clue so his music teacher gave us a list of sets but recommended these and over all well worth the money.

I bought this for my daughter. It did take a bit of time setting up and getting all the various bars connected and tightened properly took a bit of time. But it was all easy enough and required a bit of patience connecting all the pieces.But the quality and the easy to follow instructions were excellent. If you are looking to start out on drums, this is a great compact little electronic drum kit that provides good quality sounds. The month supplied access to lessons is actually also quite good and after playing around a bit, got it working on an iPad.I did try this on a Windows 10 laptop using a USB cable, but this didn't work very well and got a little frustrated trying to get the kit to be recognised on the laptop. But the moment I connected this to an iPad, it worked straight away.So I would recommend this to anyone looking to not break the bank account and wanting to get started with playing drums with some easy to start lessons.

Bought this for my son as a Xmas present as he has been learning the drums at school for a few months. Was super easy to put together and comes with easy to read instructions. The mesh heads feel really smooth and responsive when hit and the built in functions make learning and improving fun and easy. I especially like the built in metronome with added timing indicator which shows you if your going too fast or too slow. This kit is almost silent when headphones are plugged in, however we do hear some pounding from the foot pedals when we are downstairs as the kit is in my sons upstairs bedroom, but other than that it is silent and my son loves practicing on it. The only one negative we have come across is that the snare drum is sometimes unresponsive when hit, we are unsure yet whether this is due to the way my son is hitting it or whether there is a fault with that pad. We will see in time.All in all a very good starter kit for beginners to learn on and great value for money

The kit is easy to assemble, and works very well. The built-in sounds from the sound module are "ok" but the main problem is the volume of the cymbals is way too low compared to the rest - to hear the cymbals you need to really hit them hard.I have BFD, so hooked that up (they do a free version too) and tada - glorious sounding drums that I can tune and balance.So far the drums feel like they're going to last, and feel good to play. With BFD the feeling and sound is awesome. The hihat does map to open/closed based on the pedal.There is no choke, but that was known and expected at time of purchase, along without having multiple trigger zones such as rim/bell. No fault with this, as I said this was known and expected, especially for the price.Love having the larger skins to hit, rather than smaller/rubber heads.

This set was on offer in the run up to Christmas and it saved us almost £100 on the regular price.It has all that is needed to get a young child learning to play the drums, the free lessons will be very helpful too, highly recommended as a starter kit.

It’s okay. Mesh drum skins are nice to play, inbuilt sounds are usable for practice not recording or live performance. Assembly was straight forward. Two huge issues for me though. The kick pedal is not velocity sensitive. It triggers accidentally at the tiniest movement and sounds robotic. Also when I hooked it up as a midi controller in Logic Pro the open hi hats are all out of time. So far can’t fix this issue, if I can’t I will have to return it and get a more expensive kit or just get a drum pad.

This drum kit plays beautifully, looks good, and feels robust. I've bought it to use for recording at home, and it sounds excellent. My only criticism so far is that the number of (inbuilt) kit presets is small - but this doesn't really bother me, as the default kit (01) is pretty much all I'm going to need. In short, it's far better than I would have expected for under £300.

Purchased this drum kit for my eight-year-old daughter for Christmas. She absolutely loves it and transitioned to this kit from a regular drum kit with absolute ease. Brilliant and easy to set up.
