Carlsbro CSD130 Digital Drum Kit, CSD130XXX

Used to be a drummer years ago, wanted some thing to play on that would not upset the neighbours to much as I have retired and fancied playing again just for own pleasure. Always a bit weary about electric drums, but I am now proved wrong. These are good for any one wanting to learn or practice in the house. What attracted me to these was the fact the snare was placed in the right position, unlike some others. Out of the box, it was easy assembled with some time and care. Wires all plugged in, headphones in, power on, and wow. I have tried them for a couple of days now and I must say the range of kits are great, the sound is spot on and the response time of the pads are superb. It's taking me a little time to get everything where I feel comfortable as you would do with any kit, but now it's full steam ahead for hours of enjoyment. I really like the design of the bass peddle, and hi-hat peddle, magic. Response of the two match any I have played in the past. I am looking forward to using these for many years hopefully, and putting tracks down with a guitar. Old fart rocker very happy, animalllllll.

Very pleased with this...easy to assemble ....easy to programme just need to practice!... folds down and stores conveniently

Set these up. The instructions aren't great and there was a bit of guess work in the cabling, but all in all, they are fit for purpose. At this price-point, they are a good set for practising at home. They sound good through a decent set of headphones (not provided), but a little tinny through a practice amp.Ideal for a first set and if you get serious, upgrade to a £500 kit such as Roland.

bit tricky to set up but got there in half an hour. its brilliant, I'm not a drummer...yet, but after a hour I got to play against the pre programed tunes and it was very satisfying, it sounds very good and realistic. and after you use it, it all folds away nice and neatly. excellent value.

First to go was the rim shot on the snare drum, loose connection on the kick drum and now the hit hat symbol has fallen apart at the bit where it is held up on the kit. Its ready to be binned. Do not buy... I was super happy with it at the beginning sounds were cool, no issues setting up straight forward actually, but now pretty much rendered useless and cannot find replacement parts. Please save your money wont be buying carlsbro stuff again sadly.

This was a perfect Birthday present for my 30 year old partner who has longed to get back into drumming. The sound is great and it’s fairly easy to put together, it’s worth paying that little bit more for this kit rather than the cheaper flimsy ones, the pads on this are in the correct position to play also.

Like others the top left cymbal was not working upon setting it up. I emailed the manufacturer and waited a month but never even got a reply. Terrible service. You need to send the whole thing back to Amazon if one bit is faulty in order to get a replacement but it is a bulky item and almost impossible to repack.

I brought this for my 9 yr old and myself. its a perfect starter kit. it's an entry level kit so you get what you pay for so don't expect super clean drum sounds and endless kit variations. the pads don't respond well to light hits rising to hitting them hard i.e. sound intensity.the kits easy to assemble and sturdy and easy to operate. buy this if your a beginner
