Customer Rating: Summary: Awsome Drum Comment: I personaly think this drum is the best drum iv ever played. I play for my church and when its hooked up to a big sound system it sounds like the real thing. I love this i couldent stop playing. Customer Rating: Summary: Not "Simmons" of old Comment: The pads are velocity sensitive and the cymbals only single zone, compared with Roland etc who have dual zone (this means you can get a ride and crash on the cymbal depending on how you hit it).
While you get quite a lot for your money here, the quality is not up to that of the basic Roland, Yamaha, Millenium,... kits and the sensitivity of the brain is not comparable IMO - and compared to the ddrum brains they are blown out of the sky.
Also, these drums are apparently not real "Simmons". I am told that there has been no permission granted to Medeli for use of the name 'Simmons', and "their unauthorised use of the name is currently the subject of legal action by the original inventor".
