NUX DM-8 First Impressions 

Crazy how much the 1st kit sounds like a late 70’s early 80’s super warm kit in the studio!

Been waiting for your review on this! Thank you very much 🙏

Whenever I'm researching, you are the go-to authority I trust! Great job!

Great unbiased review, thanks!

Awesome review! I recently bought this kit. And this is my first electronic drum, I have been playing on acoustic set. Loving this kit, but I haven't explored it much. I like that you can upload kits on the module, and the bass is double pedal friendly.

Justin, your presentations are the best written, best narrated/illustrated, and best edited drum review videos I've seen on youtube. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and observations with us! It truly helps.

Sounds and looks pretty good for the money, hopefully they will offer an acoustic look kit eventually. That's seems to be the direction e drums are going .I like that is had faders , wish my Td 17 had that feature. Thank you for the review, great job as always!

Been to edrum center Best place to buy an electronic kit in the country. Great showroom. Every electronic kit known to man.

Might be worth getting one of these for the pads and pair it with something like a td3 module used for running the high hat and cymbals on. The pads and hardware all look pretty nice

Thanks a lot for the review and for comparing it to the 2box speedlight. It is always difficult to find review on the latter or on its copycat the Fame Hybrid Pro. I hope one day you'll have a chance to provide us with your review on these two kits.🙏🤞

Waw..great sound 🥁👍

Love that drumset

I am very impressed with the nux

This drum set looks to be a good quality build and if your looking for something just to get the job done in this price range it almost sounds like it could be in competition with ATV's honestly I wouldn't mind see Justin give a tutorial on the new Ddrum Nio myself thanks for the honest review Justin love your opinions as always.🤘🤘

Excellent

The snare actually sounds decent from the short playing samples in this video, but that hi-hat... woof.

Just a tip----I purchased this kit and I really lilke it. Yes, the factory snare stand is short for taller players. I purchased a tall snare stand from Amazon. However, I had to mix and match the two stands, because the base of the taller stand is too large to get in position. So, I kept the factory base and the top half of the tall stand and put them together. No issues and for my use it works well.

I bought DM8 becuz of ur review. As a beginner, I’m happy with it. The only problem is the seat is too low for my height.

Thanks! I was waiting for you to review this NUX set. In the market for these.

I have their entry level dm 210 kit and i am pretty happy with it, the whole thing is big, solid and sturdy, its for sure more stable then other cheap entry level things. Everything has 2 zones as well as mutes. The module is basic but well rounded, i dont miss anything so far.

65 drums!!!!!

please review dm7x. good review by the way, considering to buy nux edrums and I can't find any English review regarding dm7x, thanks a lot!

Brushed aluminum faceplate on the module is a cool touch

65 DRUMS, Can you make one video lesson on only showing various Electronic Drums trigger schemes? because each electronic drums place their triggers differently and what type of triggers to go over in a video lesson would help out a lot.

Great video man! The more and more I watch and learn about all these kits it seems like if you aren’t gonna drop around the 2-2.5k range then it just isn’t worth it for electric drums if you really want something that’ll be worth it

I love you dad

And there's a feature where you can use your own sample CMIIW, I wish I could trade my NUX DM7X with this one.

Thanks Justin I made a comment about a month or so ago about Reviewing this kit I just got it to Replace the Extremly Boring Alesis Crimson Se. So as an Upgrade I definitely Recomend this Kit if your Trying to break free from the Alesis line up the Drum Set looks and feels great ! I will say I'm not a big fan of all the Ride Cymbal sounds on this Module but everything else is Legit ! So as Someone Who Has this Kit ill give it an 8/10 for the Price Point!

Hey bro is there any way you could do a video on a DIY way to make an inline double bass drum pedal . 😁 with spare parts of course ! You still rock 🤘😎✌

2nd commenttt!!! ay this video is awesome!!!! great job :)

Hi Justin, thanks for always keeping us informed about these new kits. Correct me off I’m wrong, does it seem like most newer kits cost more for less. I have a Roland TD11KV. All mesh pads, multi-zone toms and cymbals. If I were to get a newer kit, I feel that I’d be losing some features. Is that fair to say?

Appreciate your videos man! Have you done any videos on good options for people who don't care at all about the sounds in the module and just want to use the e-drums for midi to record using sound libraries? If so I'll go browsing your videos. Thanks man!

Hey! Are you going to review the Evans hybrid sensory? And if you do can you cover it's capabilities with natural acoustic sounds? Every review I see just plays some wild synth. 😂 Love the channel it my go-to for electronic drums.

Hey Justin!

You might be able to switch the ride out with one from Yamaha if they are still using one cable? Nice review!!👍😀

naice goingggg, can you try doing other drums? like medeli

Just wanted to mention what I think was a little mix up in the comparable kits section near the end of the video. You mention the Roland TD-07 KVX's single crash cymbal and the cost of upgrading to a second crash. Just wanted to note that the 07-KVX kit comes with Roland's CY-13R three-zone ride cymbal but because the TD-07 module doesn't have a dedicated ride bell port it uses the plug that you would need for a second crash. So if you do want to upgrade to a second crash on the TD-07 KVX you also have choose between that or the bell zone on your ride (presumably this is why Roland didn't ship a second crash in the kit). Now the TD-17 KVX has almost all the same equipment except it does have the second crash because the TD-17 module can support it.

Hi, can you make a review for Lemon t630 since NUX is not available here in philipines so im planning to purchase one, but there's no deeper review here in youtube about lemon, hope you can make one, tahnks

Thanks for this review! .. This looked like a great drum kit on paper & I was about to order one .. but that drum module and hit-hat are deal breakers .. :(

I never heard of this company before, It sounds ok. Are you going to NAMM this week Justin ?

Thanks for your insight Justin. From your perspective, besode lack of sound quality its module produced, does this dm8 worth for recording with vst drum library? How about its midi interface capture and translate to midi note with the velocity that played?

Hey Justin - should we expect some NAMM 2023 content?

Are there module-less kits? So basically just a super low latency midi or usb cable from a mesh head kit?

I need suggestion, which one should I buy, NUX DM8 or Yamaha DTX 6kx?

Hey Justin, did you go to NAMM this year ? I was hoping you'd post some stuff if you did. I bought their online ticket thinking I'd be able to, like, pan around at booths, and, that ummmmm, wasn't available, so I kinda wasted $35 dollars and didn't really see much of anything I wanted to see. Unless it was how to mouth a flute, or promotion stuff or watching giveaways.... Etc etc etc There were concerts actually, I think... The app was bizzare to navigate, and I just got fed up with it and haven't opened it since...lol Anywho... If you have any footage, I'd love to check it out !!!! :-)

Are you sure about the sound is bad. I can hear it is very nice actually. At lrast few kits...

Justin, I’ve been a subscriber for awhile now love you content. My question is this I have a Roland TD10 expanded for the advance cymbals. I’ve been thinking about getting a efnote 3x. Do you think this would be a worthwhile upgrade?

Off-topic, but I figured you'd know since you've been playing electronic drums for so long. How do you keep the cymbal wingnut from coming more and more loose each time you hit the cymbal? I purchased the Tama cymbal mate thinking it would work, but it just pops off when I hit the cymbal and ends up being worse than the plastic Roland wingnuts. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi justin I want some help, in my country (Colombia) I can't find this kit anymore, do you know where I can order it that would ship to my country? thanks...

Curious about that hi hat - seeing as on the module UI it shows the exact state/velocity, does it output this in midi or is that also forcibly segmented into just 3 sections? If you just run vst sounds and you get the true 0-127 value out of it that would make it much more viable...

when u gonna play a song, with headphones, have you mix the sound of the drum and the song, or just put low volume on headphones and play the song on your pc for ex? i have that big doubt

Does anyone use vendor kits? I don't, but I play at home currently. I can see if you forgot your laptop for a gig or practice. I have the Alesis DM 10 Mk 2 and it only has few kits, "for me", that I would use. Keep on Drumming peeps! Best Regards and Best Wishes!

I don't care what the onboard sounds, effects, none of that sounds like. I'm going into SD3 exclusively. It took me a long time to take the plunge, but I did finally, and haven't ever went back. I did the firmware update on my td17 a while back, and fooled around with it a little after that, and .... no..... back to SD3 for me! So really what I'm looking for is a "shell" kit? A set of pads, and stick with the td17. You totally messed me up when you said "suprisingly you can send 14 audio tracks over usb" Are you for real? That is EPIC! But even as I'm writing this comment I'm already asking myself "so? That just means I can't change them later. I've got to premix, like the old days, instead of postmix." I guess I've finally gotten an understanding of the benefits of going in midi, and I'm having a hard time finding things audio tracks are more beneficial for than midi. You got anything Justin? I think I'm sounding a little snobby. I'm really not trying to, my question is genuine. I'm digging this kit, for the i/o, and for the pad sizes. I've got what's left of a td17kv, with a strike pro ride "bell went out a week after i got it lol". I toasted my kd10 also, so check it. I'm using the snare bar and mounting clamp, on a command 8" pad, on the vertical legs of the rack, as a bass drum! I put some egg crate foam, cut to fit, under the head, and went to basic settings, kept it kd10, upped the sensativity to 9, and threshold to 5, and set it to "loud 2" and it works flawlessly! I really dig the way it plays, feels, and triggers. No more double taps. Saves me hours of deleting hits off the grid lmao.

Sound quality beats the stock sounds on my drumit III.... By far.

9:18 did u mean td17 or td07?

Can we add double foot for this drum set? Is it possible sir?

DM-8 or Alesis crimson 2 Which better

Amigo buenas noches. De este modelo a roland td17kvx. Por cual te vas casi están al mismo precio. Ayuda!!!!

Can i upgrade this snare, by Roland one¿

Thank you for the review! but I wanna know your thoughts on this drum compared to the EFNOTE 3x. Which one would you choose?

I'm debating whether to buy this drums (Nux dm-8) or the “Alesis crimson 2” , which one is better in your opinion?

Is this kit a replacement for the DM-7x or are they still going to be selling the DM-7x for a while yet?

I feel like this kit is really expensive for what it is. You can get a Millenium MPS-850 for a lot less money. That kit has a comparable setup at 630 Euros. This is unfortunate for our friends outside Europe.

I saw your drill with the drum key and realized I was blind to the concept for years. 🤦‍♂

headphones included?

He sounds like the weatherman: "It can rain but maybe not............." Just dare to be clear man.

Heya ! what about dimensions

hey can you pls make a video at namm 2023

Legend! I was waiting for a review for this kit. Would this kit be a better option than the Alesis crimson 2 se? I live in Australia and dm10kii pro is not sold here. I’ve heard that by tweaking the md8 module the sounds might improve. Thanks for your review 🙏🏻🙌🏼

It does kinda look like an Alesis though

A little off topic. Watching this led me to check the Millennium 850 ($579), which led to this surprising find. Roland sells the TD27KV-2 (Yes the one with the digital hi-hat/snare/ride) for $2499 in Germany. A $1000 bucks less than the US. I understand if Roland was made in Germany, its made in Japan. So the Roland US distributer charges US customers/dealers an extra $1000 ! Way to go Roland US.... N O T ! ☹

Someone tell me please this or the Millenium mps 1000

Considering this kit. If the sound is the main issue, couldn't that just be solved by EZdrummer? Somehow, the competitors you mentioned like the Alesis the NUX is a lot cheaper. Here (in Thailand) it goes for 966 USD while the Alesis goes for 1370 USD. The Roland you mentioned, I believe isn't available here.

Anothe flavor of some alesis or medeli drum?

if you snap stick on edrums I am concerned for you

Sounds ok I guess. Too much machine gunning. The snare sounds pretty good with the overtones. I’ll stick with my Roland.

Justin Time.

The kit cost 300 dollars to make and 1400 dollars to buy I'll pass
