"Elecctronic drum kits generally set you back as much as a family car, but this great little package bucks that trend... Despite the low price, this still offers many of the features of much more expensive kit with velocity sensitive pads and pedals for bass and high hat control."
Flipside

"...they allow you to play at being Keith Moon without attracting an Asbo."
The Independent

"...And not just a little drum kit that you play with your fingers or two pens either. Nope, this is a near full-sized kit with six velocity-sensitive playing pads and two bass drum/hi-hat pedals."

I ordered the drum kit three days ago, it arrived today, quite impressive for an international order :-) Anyway, I am a beginner and have been looking for an electronic drum kit to practice at home without my neighbors hating me. I did not expect much for that price, but it turns out the USB drum kit looks, sounds and feels real nice. It doesn't take much time to set it up and with a decent sound card with decent headphones it is just awesome. One thing to note though, the pads are a bit hard and practicing makes a bit more noise than I originally assumed (*poc* *poc* *poc poc poc*) and seen from other electronic drum kits. Girlfriend said that she would rather have me practice with sound than without as it is definitely annoying for other people around ;) I definitely recommend this *awesome* invention !

Not a review but a question. If you break a pad or a pedal is there anywhere you can get spare parts from? Love the kit. Thanks.

Just received delivery of the USB Drum Kit. Simple to set up and a truly brilliant sound. Probably the best £130 quid I've ever spent!

Problems with my old 'proper drum kit. . 1. It's too big for my room... 2. It's too loud (for the neighbours)... 3. I have problems getting the right sound... But with this drum kit all those problems are solved, GREAT!!

Can you set both kick pedals to the bass drum for some double kick action?
Firebox says: Yes, on the back of the trigger module you have inputs 1-10. To switch to double base you need to connect both pads to input 8 & 9.

Great value for money! Its good fun and great for practicing those basics - it doesn't have the functionalities of the Yamaha and Roland kits, but I wouldn't expect it too at £130. But for £130 it's superb!

I have not bought the USB Drum Kit (yet), but I was wondering if you can add the extra pads which are avalible on drumxtreme.Com? It seems to be using the same kit and programmes as the kit on your website. If so, it would be great because I can then create a larger kit. Thanks alot Firebox! Your website is great!
Firebox says: Dale, unfortunately, all the sockets are used up by the pads included with the kit. Therefore, you cannot add any extra pads. Sorry about that :(

I'm a mac user, I was planning to use this via emulation, but the great news is that the drum kit has been updated and it is now a MIDI device. Works directly with GarageBand on the Mac. Just select the software drum kit and plug and play! Only crash choke doesn't work.
