Editorial Reviews:
|
The iED01 features a great selection of 233 realistic, natural drum sounds, offered both in dry form and sampled with our incomparable digitalreverbs. Our exclusive Dynamic Articulation feature enables a drum sound to change its tonal content as it's played harder for truly realistic performances. The IED01 features 50 preset patterns with enough built-in rhythmic variations (with A, B and two Fill sections) for composing complete arrangements, and creating and saving your own customized patterns and songs. Plug the headphones, included in the kit, right into the headphone jack for discrete practicing. Plus, the IED01 also provides complete MIDI implementation, flexible programming and editing features and velocity-sensitive pad buttons.

Summary: Price in-line with product
Comment: I looked over the reviews from 3 years back until now. Lots of complaints could be perpetrated by the customers themselves........
1. Plastic thumbscrews fall apart....seems that they have been replaced
by metal ones.
2. Drumbsticks broke after 10 minutes.......I am 6'5'', 300 lbs with a
36" waist and a third degree black belt. I beat on these drums everday
and have been for the last month.....nothing has broke.....must be
using those sticks to pry open dads liquor cabinet.
3. Drum pads drop down after continuous play.....the bracketry is plastic
however some ingenuity could prevail here....maybe spray some spray
adhesive to make it grip better, again I have no problem.
4. Complaint about he kick drum pedal echoing...has not happened to me
but there is a .pdf document for the adjustment of the pedals..maybe
has to do with that effect.
5. Complaints of the controller failing.......Have not had the problem.
6. Cheap construction.......I would rather pay $229.00 for this than a
four drum pad machine.......work with this, you can make adjustments
for your style (severity) of play.
Things I liked:
1. Sounds awesome over any of my amplifiers. I much prefer this to a
machine produced drum sound.
2. They don't give you what you don't want...i.e. a cheap drum throne
which wouldn't support me anyway...helps to keep cost down.
3. Nice range of programmable sounds to work with.
4. Add on options available that are not that expensive.
5. Not that hard to setup.....does take some time but not that much.
6. Little kids that come and visit love it.....so do some adults!
I say if you don't want to spend way too much and actually get a name brand (this is an Alesis brand) then I think this is the way to go. Customer service answered both times I called and were at least somewhat helpful. Carries a 1 year warranty also.

Summary: Absolutely Thrilled!
Comment: Bought this for my 10 year old grandson. I was willing to pay $500 for a real Ludwig drum set but we have no room for a real set and 'settled' for this. We could not be more satisfied. It is hooked into my son's fancy home theater system and it sounds just like a real drum set. Don't think twice, buy it for you or a loved one!

Summary: Junk -- Toy-Grade and Fragile
Comment: Non-musicians who just get this as a noise-making toy for their kids may be satisfied until the kids destroy it (which I suspect will happen in short order, as it is very fragile and poorly designed), but it simply is junk to any adult drummer who wants it for any serious purpose.
I did not expect much, just something to trigger MIDI control data to software drum synths when recording, but this mess couldn't even do that reliably, though it claims to be able to. The MIDI control is buggy and flawed, _vide infra_.
All of the complaints mentioned in other reviews so far are 100% valid, so I won't list them again -- the list is too long. I would add that the heads are rock-hard and their piezo senders are fragile and produce very weak output.
As low as my expectations were for this thing, it fell far, far short of the minimum acceptable function and was a TOTAL waste of money. It does NOT perform its listed functions properly as has been explained in other reviews.

Summary: Satisfied
Comment: This product was purchased for my nephew for Christmas. He has truly enjoed this set and has not complained about anything as of yet.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Pretty Good
Comment: I'm not a drum expert by any means, but it seems to be an OK set. The drumsticks included broke within ten minutes, but after we git everything set up it seems to work OK.
