"Not perfect... but a good compromise" 2010-03-18
By Michael J Edelman (Huntington Woods, MI USA)
You'd think that there would be more than just two practice drum sets out there- yet other than the DW kit and a larger kit from Remo, that's it. The next step up for someone looking for a practice kit is one of the ION electronic drum sets- which are more toy than instrument- and the low-end digital drum kits that start at around $500. At under $150, the DW kit is a pretty good buy. Packed up, it's small enough for the traveling drummer to take on tour for hotel room practicing and back stage warmups.I bought a DW kit for my nephew to use (I do my practicing on a Pearl Rhythm Traveler with mesh heads) and he's pretty pleased with it. The pads have a good bounce, it works with a standard bass pedal, and his mother likes the fact that it doesn't take up too much space.
Likes:
Ruggedness
Small size
Portability
Dislikes:
You really have to crank down on the locking screws to keep the pads from moving.
There's no hi-hat
The "cymbal" pad is okay, but I'd rather have a practice cymbal.
Some drummers use these with a practice cymbal on a pad, and a set of practice cymbals on a cheap hi-hat- a good compromise, although by the time you add those items you're already spending round $250 total. I think at that point I'd save another $250 and get a of low-end electronic kit from Alesis.
"Needs More Work" 2009-12-09
By Jerry P. Danzig (New York, NY USA)
This product is a great idea for drummers who need a way to practice without disturbing others, but in my experience, it needs further refinement.
The chief problem is the bass drum pad: it's adjustable only up-and-down, not backwards and forwards. If you have a chain-driven pedal with a non-adjustable throw like me, you will likely find that the beater doesn't make contact with the pad. Even if you do have a pedal with an adjustable throw -- who wants to adjust your pedal every time you practice? You don't need to fiddle with your pedal every time you set up a real drum set, because you can adjust the height of the bass drum's feet easily to suit the throw of your pedal.
I solved the problem here by buying a DW Hardcore Beater, which has an unusally pronounced 1-1/2" offset, but this set me back an additional $30 I would rather have kept in my pocket.
I also found that the platform to which you attach your bass pedal isn't thick enough to enable a secure mount. I found my bass pedal sliding around, causing constant readjustments. I solved this problem by gluing a rubber pad to the platform using contact cement -- but this solution set me back another $10.
Finally I encountered a manufacturing defect in the "cymbal" pad, which didn't screw down on its arm tight enough to prevent the washer underneath the pad from revolving and making an irritating "ching" with each stroke. I solved THIS problem by removing the washer altogether; I'm not sure what purpose the washers serve any way.
I also found DW less than helpful with this last problem. I contacted their customer service and asked if these washers were really necessary and if so, would they send me another one or two to fill the gap under the cymbal pad. To my surprise, they answered that there should only be one washer under each pad -- this answer makes no sense, as you always add washers (or use thicker ones)in situations like this. Their advice was to bring the whole unit back to the retailer and have it swapped out. What a pain!
I thought DW was comprised of drummers making drum equipment for drummers, and I am disappointed both in the minor but annoying shortcomings of this device as well as their dismissive customer service.
UPDATE: it is unfortunate that you can't adjust the pad arms vertically; in particular, the vertical proximity of the "hihat" and "snare" pads makes it hard to play the hihat cross-stick as you normally would on a drumset. I hope DW will address these various shortcomings in a future Go Anywhere Pad Set!
"Ultimate Drum Practice Rig" 2009-12-05
By Jeremy M. Hudson (Midwest, USA)
I wish this product would have existed when I was in high school, because all I ever did was practice my real feel pad. I couldn't ever play my actual drumset(which costed twice as much as this thing) because it bothered my family, if I would have had this though...I have been dreaming of this product for years, at one point I even built something similar by drilling a tunable pad into the back of my couch so I'd have something quiet to practice my bass drum foot on. DW to the rescue. This thing is completely positionable and still very sturdy, a combination you've always got to be looking for in any drum equipment. Although it is difficult to get the groove feel of a real drumset with anything other than a real drumset(i have the same problem with electronic kits), a lot of what drummers *should* be practicing are rudiments and independence exercises. This is perfect for that stuff and I've seen immense improvements in my independence and my bass drum/tom combo rolls. In order to round out the set and give it a more real feel, this is what I did: get two cheap snare drum stands and any other two practice pads and use those as the snare and the high hat. There's no way arms would ever reach as far around you as a real drumset might without these extra pieces. My other addition is a dw trigger pedal, which I use to simulate the high hat pedal, I picked one up used for 40 bucks and it's been worth it's weight in gold, as I've been able to finally get my double-pedaling up to some speed. In summary, this rig is worth every penny of 150 bucks and it should be any drummers first, not second, drumset.
"Great" 2009-07-12
By William Peters
I'm currently stationed in Iraq with the 1st Cav Band, and our current building is pretty loud to practice set in. So I saw this practice pad set and thought I would try it out. So far I really enjoy it, its the job done and doesn't require a lot of noise or space. Right now I'm using my Iron Cobra double bass pedal and futz practice pedal for hi hat. It works pretty good for practicing different grooves and working on 4 way independence. It's easy to set up anyway you want for many different configurations, I set mine up just to simulate hi hat, snare, low tom and ride cymbal... Works pretty good for me. I say its a good buy and worth the money for anyone just wanting something simple and quiet to practice set. Also the practice pads come off real easy and you can use to practice snare stuff on a table or your lap if you like...
"Perfect for what I need" 2009-06-20
By M. Todd
I really wanted to get an electronic drum set, but I don't have the cash for it right now so I purchased this practice kit instead to pass the time. I can say that I thoroughly enjoy it. At first when you get it home and out and set up it feels funny because every pad just makes a different tone of a practice pad and your ears want to hear those typical drum sounds. Once you get over that though it becomes a really great tool to practice your chops without making anyone around you mad. One draw back to the kit is that the pad that was supposed to extend out to the left to mimic the hi hat does not stretch out far enough to give you the normal feel of where you might place your hi hat on a real kit. To compensate for this you can actually just by a hi hat stand, cymbals, and get a mute for it and use the 4 pads as a snare and 3 toms. That way you can also work on your left foot action with the hi hat also. That's what I'm eventually going to do, but for now I just deal with the hi hat being a little off. That's my only despair about this set up. Other than that I love it. The pads are a lot smaller than a normal kit so after playing with this for a little bit you'll be dead on center with your kit!
