Has anyone used the above kit at all, the price seems to be great (£240 from ebay) but the only 2 reviews I can find are a 5/5 and a 1/5! I also found a review by a website who sell the kit who gave it 9/10 but i'm a bit dubious about that one.
Looking for a kit for my girlfriend to practice on (beginner) and for me to knock out some beats for my demos (mainly i play guitar). Would anyone recommend this kit or a similar priced electronic kit? We have no space for an acoustic kit.
Looks too good to be true doesn't it? It's junk. I have a broken used one at the store that I took in on trade. And will be using it for kindling soon. Buy the cheapest Roland or Yamaha and you can't go wrong. I have a used Roland TD3 brain, kick and hh pedals and a bass drum trigger I'll make you a deal on! :-) I also have a new TD3 that I will make a deal on. Heck, for that matter I'll make deals on the TD6, the new V12 and the V20.

I have an almost-identical kit - I bought it secondhand for one of my sons. This is the one I have :
Mine is identical to the one pictured - 2 "pedals", extra pad. I got it for £50. The one you're looking at is probably the same thing with a different badge.
It's a toy. It needs a PC to function, unless one buys the MIDI box. The pads are hard, and feel nothing like real drums or good electronic kits. The rack is fine for a kid to play on, but anything more than a civilised tap and the pads slip. The pedals feel nothing like real pedals. There's an appreciable delay between hitting the pad and the sound coming out of the speakers. The sounds are ok, there are quite a selection of kits and effects.
Having said all that, my son (10) loves it. He near busted a gut laughing at the special effects sounds, and all his friends are really impressed with it. But all it is is a toy. I wouldn't in my wildest dreams consider taking it out on a gig.
