I bought the DED-400 drum kit recently, and it is brilliant! I had a traditional drum kit previously, but rarely played because it's just too loud. After selling that, I bought the Donner kit, and now I really enjoy playing a lot more often. I'm only an amateur drummer, just playing for my own enjoyment, but I've already seen an improvement.
One thing I would like to do is connect a laptop and play along with drumless tracks, and maybe record some videos to post on the internet, but I can't seem to work out how that is done. I've emailed Donner's customer service team about it, so hopefully they will contact me soon.
In terms of the actual kit, it seems to be really well made. The stand frame is solid and easy to assemble, and the drums/cymbals/pedals are all great quality.
The module is easy to use, and has plenty of features for practicing.
The headphones look fairly cheap, but they sound fine and won't need upgrading for a while. The stool is a bit wobbly, and probably not the greatest quality, so I might change that sometime in the future for a better one.
The kit even came with a pair of drumsticks and a drum key, so basically everything you need to get started in one box!
I am really happy with this drum kit. It's exactly what I needed, and much better than a traditional acoustic kit for the casual home user.

Great Drum kit. Daughter loves it. It is the complete set and we dont have to buy headphones or sticks as accessories. Great product at a great price

This drum set is fantastic. My doughtwr loves it. She did reaearch before asking for this set and she was correct, it is great. The ability to hook up an amo so we can listen to her play is very cool, but so is the earphones for when we don't want to hear her play...lol. It was very easy to put together and everything cam in great condition and securley packaged. Sounds great adn comes with everything you need to start playing right away. I will say that I am not fond of the stool it comes with. Doesn't feel secure and I plan to buy a better one, but all in all, fantastic deal.

We ordered the drum kit on a Tuesday and it was already here on the Friday. It feels sturdy and is even more quiet than we thought it would be. The mesh heads feel bouncy like real drums, which is really nice. The sound module is great for the price with good drum samples, and that you can just plug it into a computer and run whatever samples you want makes it everything you need as someone who's playing around with instruments for fun. We're really happy with the drum kit.

I bought this to get up to speed for the church music group. It had been 32 years since I played a set and decided to buy this to tighten up my chops. It works great. Has line in and line out so you can run music into the headphones and adjust the volume for the set to create the perfect balance especially if you have apps that cut out the drum tracks. I bought a Tama double bass pedal since the one that comes with it isn't the best quality. I haven't messed with the settings too much as I like the pre programmed sounds based on what I'm playing. I like the heads. They feel great. Perfect for getting ready for playing the real set at church in front of a crowd.

Great set! Quality sound, easy to assemble, and made of high quality material. Has a much more comfortable bass drum, snare and hi-hat than other electronic drum sets I've seen and tested out. A drummer who is used to a traditional set may have to make slight adjustments with their respective techniques, but that's the same for all electronic sets. I like the drum covers better than some other sets because they aren't smooth as glass like cheaper ones. Instead they have a different consistency for better sound. I easily hooked it into a bass amp and it sounded great. Also sounds great with a good pair of headphones. Would highly recommend, and I am extremely happy with it.

I did a lot of research before making a purchase, there is limited videos out there so it was hard to make a decision to purchase or not…
BUT I am very glad I went through with it, the overall quality of the Donner DED-400 is a lot better than I expected.
The headphones aren’t the best quality (but a good start), I purchased the drum amplifier at the same time and that really shows off the quality of the drums, much better sound than the standard headphones (I would recommend buying a better set of headphones or the drum amp)
The metal tube frame makes it easy to setup everything right were you want them and makes sure they stay in place.
Heaps of different drums to choose from, plus many user programmable drums and settings.
The brain/ module is easy to use and is good quality.
Our whole family uses the drums and its setup in a middles height position so a 4 year old, 5 year old, 9 year old and adults can all use the drums without adjusting anything. Perfect starter drum kit for just about any age!
The seat is a good high for kids if you lower it all the way down (without the adjuster bolt in) but you may need another seat for adults.
Delivery to Perth, W.A was fast and the drums arrived undamaged in good packaging.
Overall, very happy with the purchase!!!
Would definitely recommend to others!

I was very excited when the package came. I’ve been doing some research and I’ve heard nothing but great reviews about This drum kit. I took me about an hour to put it together but it all went well. Once everything was fired up and ready to go sounds pretty good, the only problem I had was that the headphone wire had a short in and the Tremor throne was a little wobbly but I quickly replaced it and kept jamming. Great job Donner!!

I am not a drummer but I play with drummers and understand what a drum is supposed to sound like. This does not sound like an acoustic in the sense that when you hit it, you only hear a tap. Once you hook up to an amp or headphones is when it truly shines. It responds to light and heavy strikes and everything in between. I have no other reference to compare to but it sounds good to me. Some sounds sound raw, some EQed. There is a sound for every music you would like to play. I have been practicing along to music by plugging into the audio input.
I did find that I wanted some of the strike components to sound louder on some sets but then I found out you can adjust the volume individually! This was a great feature. There is a TON of sounds in here. You can adjust timber, kits, use a metronome and put it into demo mode if you want to hear a backing track.
The drums react to force and area where they are hit. I found it cool that you can hit a cymbal and grab it to mute it. Again, not a drummer but I didn't feel like anything was lacking. Except a seat maybe. Everything I imagined it to do, it did well. More than anything I am happy that my daughter can play without annoying the neighbors. I find myself using this a lot because its so quiet with headphones on. I have no experience with electric drums so I cant say at what level these are at in comparison to whats available in this price range I can say that I am happy to have this as a replacement. Sound is clear and crisp with no artifacting, Solidly built with metal and good plastic, metal foot pedals. Even cost the same as my daughters acoustic drum set. I have even recommended to my drummer who cant practice at home since he lives in small apartment.

I was very well impressed with the quality. It is made of metal not plastic, very well put together. It sounds amazing, I recommend this for anyone just starting out.
Daniel Mclaren
This is perfect for a beginner(which i am). It comes with everything you need to get started, the pads are very responsive, and everything is very adjustable. I was worried about the size being that I'm about 6'2" and I've seen a lot of reviews on other e kits saying that they are very small, but i was able to set this up to be comfortable for me.
Ayushi Ayushi
My 16 yro son is teaching himself to play, but with all the other instruments, we had no space for a full-size kit. This drum set was the answer. He loves it. Just for reference, the place in the photo is on a 4x6 rug in our basement, so it's a pretty small area. The set sounds fantastic (purchased the Donner amp for it and the sound quality is great), and with the option for headphones, it was the perfect solution for us. Went together easily, came boxed appropriately with all the parts. It is small, and my son is very tall (6ft), but he just sits lower on the stool and it works fine. Very happy with it.
Anna Wu
Great product. Thanks for giving me the tools I needed to achieve my childhood dream.
David Edge
Perfect for apartment settings and good enough to jam with a band.
Pam Andrews
If you're a beggining drummer, or if you're just looking for an affordable and reliable electronic kit from a great company, than this is the perfect drum set for you.
Roisin McKenna
It's my favorite instrument
Alain Kasongo
Perfect addition to our music therapy clinic! We recently got this kit and it was very easy to assemble, sounds great, the manual is straight forward, and love the option of MIDI USB, playing along / practicing, and the availability for expansion. I definitely recommend pairing with their drum / keyboard amplifier and changing the sensitivity of the cymbals manually. Stock i found them to be unbalanced.
Jack Cook
For the money, this is a great deal! The sounds on the drum brain aren't bad. But the ability to connect to a drum library on a computer in a DAW is priceless. Can be used by beginners to learn how to play. I plan on using it to better my drum skills and humanize the drums on my solo recordings! Already purchased the expansion kit and a double bass pedal!
Karen Foley
These drums have put a smile on my son's face. Easy set up, Sleek Design. Great sound. We highly recommend them
