 Salute to the Manufacturer, May 3, 2007
I salute the manufacturer for producing the most affordable electronic drums. For the price, you would truly get more than what you pay for. Finally, a drumset that can be played quietly when practicing alone, then played out loud when playing with friends/bandmates. However, the kick pedal is really an issue that they should immediately address or else, customers would be furious. Mine broke after just 2 days. What I did then was, and what I would recommend to the others who bought this product, is to buy the optional, additional pads and use one of which as your bass drum. Then use the pedal from a regular drumkit. For me, it effectively solves the issue and I just don't know why the manufacturers haven't designed it this way. Just dont forget to adjust the pedal so that the stem would be shorter, and would not hit the pads with much impact.
The product is incomparable with the Roland V-drums, but so is the price. If you are just a hobbyist, well it serves the same purpose of a drumset that doesn't destroy your neighbors eardrums, including your own. But if you have spare cash, buy the Roland V-drums (x5 the price), for superior drumming experience.
I just hope that the manufacturer would offer optional pedals for the high hat because it doesnt seem sturdy either. If it breaks, I plan to replace it with the Roland hi-hat pedal, however, [...] I'm not yet sure if it will be compatible with Ion's module.
