I researched about the best electronic drum kit for the past few days because I want to get one for practicing and playing at home. I read reviews and comparisons from Sweetwater, MusicRadar, and Drum Magazine, and they are recommending these two as good options:
However, I am having trouble deciding which one would best suit my needs and need your expert advice. I mainly want to use it for daily practice and learning different playing styles at home. Good pad response, realistic drum sounds, solid build quality, and low noise are important to me. I may also connect it to my computer for recording and using drum software.
So which one should I buy? Any recommendation or advice from experienced electronic drum users would be appreciated.
You’re right, I accidentally mentioned the wrong products in the original post. I’ve edited the thread and corrected it to electronic drum kits. Thanks for pointing that out.
I have heard good things about both of the kits you link to. I think either would be OK as a starter kit. Personally, I would go for the Alesis Nitro.
Note that very few eDrum kits are “low-noise” and I suspect there’s not going to be much difference between these two models in that respect. The main problems here are the rubber cymbals and the kick drum.
Few months ago i bought this cheapo for my son (9) , but I wouldn’t suggest it to a full grown man:
That Alesis looks good, but don’t expect it to be silent, cause it isn’t. To your surroundings, it’ll most probably sound just a tad less annoying than if you would be banging over stiff, pvc garden chairs. One other thing to know is that electronic kits (especially begginer/budget friendly) are far from feel of any real acoustic drums. They are good for learning beats, rhythm patterns & rudiments, or for inputing midi information, but for developing drummer’s feel, you’ll have to jump over to acoustic kit.
Neither of those is a drum kit.
