My experience.... Plug that thing into ezdrummer and it will sound like a dream. I've had an old Roland td4 for over a decade as my practice kit. Ezdrummer sounds make it sound better than the higher end stock Roland kits. Edit: made comment before you got there in the video 😅. Highly recommend ezdrummer too.
Hi Mike, thanks for your informative video! While I like to watch videos from other more expensive brands, it’s great to see beginners aren’t left behind in the e-drum market. Well done 👍.
If you go looking for a less expensive one do not get the ones that don't have the beater kick. They don't trigger properly because the pedal can miss the trigger. Also, read the information to make sure the snare has a rim shot trigger. I had an earlier set with the rubber trigger pads that worked great but didn't have rimshot.
Oh one thing I forgot. For some reason the new set I have (not Donner) only has a mini jack for output to an amp. Better to have a 1/2" jack if they have it. Otherwise you will need a computer or an adapter to hear it without headphones. edit the Donner DED200 does have the 1/2" jacks for output
Hey Mike, What was that folding drum cart you use for gigs? I don't remember which video that was. Looked pretty sweet. I'm getting one if you are still happy with yours. Thanks!
I've been using it for 12 year. Toured all around the country with it, 1000's of gigs on it!

You're right, it sounds totally different than acoustic kits which I recorded with high quality microphones, preamps, processing and mixing that I've spent over 20 years developing my skills at.
