Reviews
NOT GOOD
"You gotta pound on the pads to get them to produce sound. Also you'll need to buy a jack adapter to use headphones with it. Layout of the drums is also not what most are used to."

Christmas present for nephew.
"My nephew said he loved Christmas gift. Can't keep him off drum kit now!"

Okay Drum Machine with Issues
"Have had this machine for 6 months now and use it weekly. The sounds are okay, but there are a lot you will never use. The two big issues I have with this machine is that the pedals are horrible, the hi-hat doesn't work very well, and it's almost impossible to get an open accent hit on it correctly, unless you hit the pad and lift your foot on the pedal just right. The worst part is that the bass drum sound has developed an issue where it double triggers when you press down on the pedal, which is very annoying, and pretty much makes this unit unusable for paying music, and others have complained about this as well. Tried getting a hold of the company as it's still under warranty and haven't gotten a response back. Not very happy."

It's a hit
"I bought this as a Christmas present for my husband that played the drums in his high school band. To say that he loves it is an understatement. BUT. . . . if you live with other people, PURCHASE SOME HEADPHONES!!! Good Lord, I'm tired of hearing it already, lol."

Nice Electronic Tabletop

Very Versatile, with Good Sound, But the Pedals are Borderline Useless
"Overall, the set works and sounds better than I expected it to. I love how easy it is to arrange the kit and adjust the voices to my liking (for example, the hi-hat pad in the original setup is in the middle of the set, which felt weird to me, so I switched it to the upper left-hand pad so that it would feel closer to the way my acoustic kit is set up)."

Amazing Electronic Tabletop
"Our Electronic Tabletop Digital Drum is perfect, we use it a lot."

Better than expected! Sounds great; tons of practical features.
"As a non-musician with a deep appreciation for music, I thought this might be a fun toy. It's beyond that. As the reviews reveal, the pedals are the weak point, and they can easily be improved quite a bit. I simply bought an eight-dollar rubber-backed front door mat and added ""hook"" side Velcro to the bottom of each pedal. I put the floor mat down where I'm playing the drum kit and stick the pedals onto it, keeping them in place. To get more realistic control, you can spend extra cash and rig a real kick drum pedal with a home-made switch to work the drum kit's kick drum. There are lots of on-line videos to help get a basic understanding of drumming and drum technique. Have fun!"

Great Digital Drums For The Price
"The Pyle PTED01 digital drums work great. It's easy to program the way you want by changing the pad voices and midi note pad assignments. The USB port allows you to connect to your computer for midi sequencing inside your digital audio workstation software. There are five memory locations to store your own drum kits for the internal kits and midi kits. The drum sounds have cross switching for soft and hard hits on the pads which adds a nice dynamic touch. You can play along with the 100 built in songs and mute the kit performances in each song with the ""Drum Off"" button, also you can practice and control the volume of the accompaniment tracks. Please watch my video on how to setup the PTED01 to perform the way you like, and hear how the drum kits sound to make it easier for you to decide if the PTED01 is right for you.
