Great sounds, midi doesn’t work very well though
At first, I didn’t really like this very much and was put off by how much space it took up on my desk. But after the 2nd day of playing it, it’s a pretty awesome piece of equipment. The sounds it has are very good, at least upon going through and testing various kicks. It’s a solid sounding instrument. It doesn’t make too much noise in the headphone out, either, which is good for my recording purposes. I think there is definitely something to be said for actually playing drum parts for songs, as opposed to letting a drum machine or virtual drummer do it all for you.The part that I don’t like about it is the midi aspect. When I plugged this into my computer via USB, I excepted it to be better than it was. This, to me, is probably the biggest downfall of the machine. It still plays drum sounds when plugged in, much like a midi interface even. Also, it is WAY too quiet when functioning as a midi controller. I don’t know if this is Logic’s drum plugin’s fault or what, but I found it better to record the line out through the headphone jack. This is kind of a shame because I could edit the drum rhythm had it played well through midi, as well as quantize and add “swing” to the groove this way, aside from also choosing specific kits or drum sounds. I haven’t completely given up on the midi functionality yet, but it does seem to be more functional using its own sounds.Overall, I think this is a really nice piece of equipment, and highly recommend it to anyone and everyone pretty much.

This is an amazing little Digital / Electronic Drum unit
This is an amazing little Digital / Electronic Drum unit, especially for the price. I actually like some of the features on this more than some features of my more expensive Yamaha DD65 Electronic Drums. This is basically a less expensive option – though for me, I am using this unit to supplement my Yamaha DD65 Electronic Drums. I patch the Pyle-Pro PTED01 through my Yamaha DD65 unit and end up with a total of 19 Drum Pads (when playing both kits together) Even on its own, the Pyle-Pro PTED01 is really a nice little unit. Play through headphones or, patch through a stereo or PA system. I haven’t had the problem with missed hits as some have mentioned but imagine it could be an occasional issue. One trick I use with these digital drums is to work the foot pedals with the heal of the foot instead of my toe. Takes some getting use to but works really well when playing double-bass. As with any compact digital drum unit, precision is key. Over time, you will become a very accurate drummer. This wasn’t an issue with me as I use to play a lot of Rototoms. This unit has a variety of sounds to choose from and a hand percs option. Enjoy!The only negative remarks would be that some of the sounds do have a slight noise at the fade-out stage. Only really noticeable with headphones. I would like better mounting options per stand. But hey, for the price, this is pretty amazing!.

Excellent!! Gave this to my 9yr old son for Christmas… He was wanting a full size drum kit so compromised and purchased this one. The sound is excellent, it does so much! My son hasn’t stopped playing and recording on it…plus the best bit, it takes headphones ;0)

esta reseña es para darle un panorama a los compañeros músicos que quieran comprar este articulo:1. la funcionalidad es básicalos tonos que trae por default son estándar a que me refiero, son digitales, se puede modificar para que se escuche mas real con al cakewalk (no me consta solo he visto un video).2. precisiónla precisión es buena siempre y cuando le pegues en el mero centro del pad, para mas agarre, los pedales son muy sensibles y un poco difícil de controlar con respecto al genero de cumbia ya que tienes que abrir el hihat, o en rock cuando abres el mismo.3. control de sonidosel manual indica que a partir del banco 46 son programables por el usuario, yo modifique el 47 para rock y baladas y el 48 para salsa y cumbia, estos últimos solo pude configurar una campana/cencerro/cowbell y en otro pad un jamblock que por cierto es agudo.4. potenciala potencia de los sonidos son excelentes, el sonido que tiene en una mezcladora llena el lugar asi sea un lugar grande como en mi trabajo que es un casino.en resumen yo lo uso para mi trabajo y evitar llevar una batería acústica, no tiene presencia como para un evento social pero en cuestiones de trabajos para 2 o 3 horas es perfecto para transportarlo y evitar llevar todo el circo mas que nada por cuestiones de la paga si la presencia de una batería acústica tradicional no es esencial para ti te sirve igual para los eventos sociales, por cierto yo lo compre en 3,800 estaba en oferta y si, si vale la pena.lo recomiendo mucho por practicidad y funcionalidad.
