you can plug in headphones… and u could also hook it up to amps n stuff or both
OMG I hate this kit! I bought it and after 4 mounts I soled it, dident like it at all.
Now I have a ROLAND TD-3, its awesome!
this kit is amazing
why did u hate it?
Well I must say that in the beginning I liked it, but the sound when you hit the pads is way to loud and it breaks after a while of playing…
But the sound is really good for a kit like this.
It breaks? What broke? Is the Roland about the same price range or what? I’m just looking for a decent “mid range” kit.
Is this the same as Hayman DD 03?
Ty
can you use double bass with this kit?
yes
I heard the ride cymbal like once or twice, had no chime to speak of.
Any links to ’standard kit’ ride samples ?
Rest of the kit sounds great.
does the bell work on the ride? or the hi hat?
its all about roland yamaha and simonns.
Does changing the heads alter the sound in any way????
whats the difference between the dd502 and the dd505?
Any one planning on buying this kit, please read this first. This is NOT i repeat NOT an professional or even semi pro instrument, the sounds are very cheesy and acousticly this kit is VERY loud. for $500.00 you get what you pay for. the cymbals are single trigger as well as the pads and the heads crack and dent after a while. Great for leisure play but not even comparable to Rolands. For a semi pro kit, go with the Roland TD-4’s. they sound great. This is a fun set to mess around on
Vivalaethan, the only difference I am aware of between the 502 and 505 models is that the latter has round cymbals! Ie: a purely cosmetic difference only. They have identical pads, brain, stand, features, etc.
These kits are released under MANY different names (Session, Legacy, Millennium, Mamba, etc) with only slight cosmetic variations between them – different coloured pads, possible different sizes of kick pad, etc. – but they are essentially the same.
Arjen Schout, is this the same as a Hayman DD 03?
Yes!
Another name for essentially the same system. However, the Hayman’s kick pad – like the one in the video above – looks like the larger size, useful if you want to fit two kick peddles.
(I have this kit in Arbiter XTD-102 form – identical to the kit above, but has only single-sized kick pad.)
Guitarking – changing the heads will only affect the ACOUSTIC sound (the ‘thump’ audible to other people in the room!) not the electronic. They will probably also slightly affect the dynamics – how the sticks bounce.
MESH heads will, I understand, be the quietest, and probably also the be the most authentic feeling – although I am more than happy with the standard pads. (Mesh heads – around £30)
5MinuteEpoxy, you can assign ANY of the sounds to ANY of the pads! 8 snares if you like…
Guitar77809 – a tad unfair, I think.
Of COURSE Roland and Yamaha are in a different league – but so are their prices. The only Roland I know of that’s comparable in price is their entry-level HD1. Would I choose that Roland over this kit? I’m not so sure – the Roland doesn’t even have a proper kick pedal…
You COULD use this with a live band or for rehearsal – obviously it has its limits but it’ll provide a perfectly adequate rhythm section for most ‘local’ bands.
Im a left handed drummer.can i change the position of the drum kit and cymbals to a left handed position?
Yes. The frame is symmetrical, and you can place any pad or cymbal pretty much anywhere you like.
The second – lower – bar that’s holding the snare can just as easily be fitted to the right hand post, just as it’s fitted here to the LH one.
It’s a great starter kit, but is obviously limited as it only has single-trigger pads so no variety of sound other than volume once you’ve selected the actual drum sound you want from each pad.
as i said, great for leisure play, I know these arnt comparable to Rolands, I’m just saying that these drums are not semi-pro instruments, I would consider this a toy, as i would also consider the HD-1 a toy. I’m just trying to say that this kit is only an entry level kit and nothing more. As far as I know Roland dominates the e drum market but there WAY over priced. I think this kit is worth the money, but no more then a leisure kit.
Fair comment, guitar77809.
I suspect that the more ‘pro’ the drummer is, the more they’ll consider this a ‘toy’. That’s fair enough too!
To be honest, I’d be reluctant to pay the full – new – price for one of these, but there’s a steady stream of them up for sale from peeps who bought them on a whim and then discovered they have no rhythm…
If you find out you are one of them – just sell it on!
(Great fun, tho’…!)
@mjrage21 yes. but don’t get this kit.
it sucks so bad i’ve got a Yamaha dtxplorer and used to have one of these the difference is amazing. remember this video isn’t the whole truth they are not trying to help you there trying to sell it.
happy drumming

the set is good to start out with as i did but after i got much better with the music the drumset jus falls apart. this set is fragile and shouldnt be bought for ppl that want to get serious. but regardless it is a good starter kit
