LEKATO Electronic Drum Set, Portable Electric Drum Set for Beginner with Quiet Mesh Snare Drum Pads, 220+ Sounds, USB MIDI, 2 Switch Pedal, Electric Drum Kit with Sticks, Travel Bag

Good variety of sounds. Decent selection of pre loaded tracks to play along with. Easy to set up. Very compact. Works very well.Easy to get a drumming fix without having to store a full kit. Looks like it would be good for laying down tracks if you're into hobby recording.Coach mode is meh but it should make you a better drummer if you put in the work.Id recommend this for anyone wanting to try/learn drumming but isn't sure about diving into the whole rabbit hole of drum kits and drum kit accessories.Headphones are a plus for napping babies or cranky neighbors on the other side of a thin wall.Sounds great through my el cheapo keyboard amplifier as well.Small footprint for tiny spaces.All around it's exactly what I was looking for.Feels pretty good. It's not on par with skins or intermediate to high end mesh electronic heads but for what it is, it's pretty good.It is a lot of fun and it's a great place to start for a beginner.14" snare stand holds it well. Get you a drum throne and some better sticks and your on your way.It would be fine to set on an ottoman or a short table and a taller chair.The foot pedals are remarkably good for switches. Very responsive and they feel accurate. It's been 20 years since I played with iron Cobra double bass pedals but these are certainly functional until you have an idea of what you want to upgrade to if you or your little drummer stick with it.This would be a very portable kit WITH volume control to bring to an open mic or small venue. Might be a good addition to a small venue setup if you're a host MC looking to cater to percussionists?I got this one to get my blue moon fix for drums and I figured it would be a good place to start if I can get my little into making/learning music with me. He likes making noise. His rhythm needs some work ;)This feels durable enough that it should survive toddlerhood.I opted for this one because of the raised hi-hat and ride. I like that they are in a more natural position than other similar kits and very adjustable.The smaller drum heads should make for more accurate strikes.I cannot do rim shots on this and I don't think brushes would work very well but unless you need that this is everything you need and nothing that you don't. At least to start.

This kit is sturdy, very responsive and incredibly portable. I highly recommend this for a travel kit for any level or as a great starter kit before you decide to invest in a whole drum set. I would recommend you buy a snare stand with it - make sure it supports up to 14" diameter.I have seen some bad reviews about the kick drum switch - but I have found it to be pretty responsive - it just takes a little practice. And keep in mind, you have an output available to add your own pedal and switch if you desire. The high hat pedal works just fine.This kit is very easy to customize - each drum, pedal or cymbal can be voiced and volumed to your choice of play style.Headphone jack works well - make sure you have a long enough wire so it is not in your way while drumming. The kit sounds good with my Fender Amp.Lastly the feel of the drums and the cymbals are very nice. The snare is especially responsive. It is pretty quiet in headphone mode as to not disturb the neighbors.Great buy.

I’m a pro drummer and I have LOTS of edrum experience. I’ve owned gear from all the major brands and am well used to tweaking settings etc. I was intrigued by the tiny footprint and affordable price so I decided to pull the trigger ( 😉 ) on this setup.First of all, it seems surprisingly sturdy. I love the mesh head snare (it was tight and responsive right out of the box). The rubber toms are ok, and the little cymbal pads are, well, LITTLE. The pedals aren’t great (more on that later).One recommendation on the kit build: there’s a 4th mounting hole for the cymbal mounts, with a little plastic plug blocking it. Could that piece be hollow so it would become a drum key holder?!? That would be easy and cool!Performance: With zero edits, everything played as intended and worked pretty well. The factory sounds aren’t bad! And the preset kits are pretty good right out of the chute. If you just wanna play drums and not read the manual, it’s fairly satisfying. I found there to be some crosstalk, and the trigger settings were easy to use to solve this issue satisfactorily.One somewhat disappointing triggering issue I discovered: when playing around the drum set quickly, hitting a tom and then immediately playing the snare doesn’t work. It’s as if the snare has a half-second “masking” feature to avoid false triggering. Moving between toms quickly totally works. But not tom-to-snare. This was the only triggering problem I found. Lekato, is there a software update possibility for this one odd flaw?The cymbal pads are IMO a little too small. And it’s really easy to accidentally hit the round fastening nut on top instead of the pad itself. I wish the pads were taller so that the mounting nut would be below the playing surface. And I wish they were a couple inches wider. But they do work! I find that assigning one to a cowbell feels really natural due to the width. I also wish the mounting arms were a few inches longer. The hihat height works great, and the ride height is ok. But I want the crash a lot higher! I may fabricate my own.I also wonder if there might be some way to get the crash to be chokeable in future versions. Lekato, whattaya say?! Even a pushbutton “kill switch” on the metal kit chassis would be cool!Mounting the kit on a snare stand is easy. I used a snare basket top section on a cymbal stand tripod so that the leg spread is much larger and it is SOLID. Great feel overall.Pedals: well, to start, they’re well-built and seem quite sturdy. The Hihat switch pedal works ok. I don’t love it, but it’s functional. But the BD switch just barely works. It’s by far the weak link here. No dynamics, feels unnatural, and triggering is a little spotty. You’ll definitely need something else for serious play. I plugged in a Roland KD7 and it just WORKS. No trigger setting changes needed- it just immediately was what I wanted.So overall, the kit does what they say it will do, and seems very well built. BUT…Just for fun, I bypassed the factory module altogether and plugged the pads into my top-end Yamaha DTX-ProX. And NOW WE’RE TALKIN’! The DTX trigger settings and crosstalk controls are extremely robust. And the sounds and control etc etc etc are off the charts. Add a Yamaha Hihat pedal and you have a SERIOUS kit that sounds 100% pro, in the tiniest footprint possible. For even more realism I have set up 3 small Yamaha cymbal pads so I can have crash chokes, ride bell, and Hihat edge options. Now the little Lekato pads are set to play cross-stick, splash, and cowbell. It’s still a tiny footprint and is a PRO kit sound! I realize this isn’t what they intended, but if any gigging drummers are reading this- this kit can be a cool centerpiece for a very functional tiny e-drum setup!I really dig this little kit, and will gig with it (and report) soon. I would give it 5 stars if the snare trigger issue were solved and if the BD pedalwere to be improved in some way. 👍🏽

I have been a musician for decades. Guitar is my main instrument, but I like to have a set of drums for recording. Over the years I have had a typical Pearl drumset, an Alesis Command X e-drum set, and a small Yamaha DD65 (to use mostly as hand drums)... these Lekato e-drums sound good, both for recording and for getting some percussion when playing with friends. The layout is good, the triggers are accurate, and they sound good through my Bose PA. Easy to set up, although I wouldn't disassemble them to put in the carrying back, just because it takes 15 minutes or so to set them back up. I bought this as a bundle with the "motorcycle style" drummer's throne - absolute most comfortable throne I've used. I set these drums on a snare stand - compact and comfortable.
