This is really strange, because I bought this unit on sale from another vendor ($129) and like other reviewers state it turns off at higher volumes but I kept it anyways and here's why.

As a beginner drum student, I wasn't ready to invest in a drum set so I went with this tabletop model at a rock bottom price, comparing it to 5 other brands. My hope was that if I could get the knack of playing it after a few months, then I would consider upgrading to a full kit and hopefully sell it at an online auction for a fair price.

The first time I played along with one of the learning songs, I turned up the volume and the entire unit shut off! After some investigating, it turns out that if I turn the bass OFF, I can use it beyond a 4 volume, maybe up to a 6 on a good day. But with that bass on, the entire unit will always shut down whenever it reaches a 3 or 4 depending on how hard I am hitting the pads.

In the end, because of storage considerations and the fact that it does have a student mode, metronome and other features I have elected to keep it, deal with its defect and play it at low volume. I also took into account that just one snare practice pad runs around $20 or so, and a metronome another $25.

With all those reasons combined, I figured that it's still a good value for practice reasons, because returning it and finding another model for the same price or even a little more was not an option at the time of purchase.

In reading these reviews it seems that its a common defect, so buyer beware. I would still take my chance again and see if you end up with one that doesn't have this problem because it is a fabulous value.

Thanks for taking the time to read my review.

Received this as a Christmas gift last year. It seemed pretty solid but then I tried to play it. First thing I noticed was that one of the drum pads wasn't attached properly, kind of flopping around. I took the palm of my hand and pressed it into place. Plugged it in and started to play. THE SOUND WAS GREAT! Much better sounding than Casio or even Yahama kits I've tried.

Then I realized I didn't have the pedals plugged in. Plugged them up, tapped the kick bass pedal twice and the whole thing shut itself off. I turned it back on, started to play, tapped the pedal........every time the same, turns itself off. Customer support for this product from Fender is pretty much non-existent.

This is a real shame. Fender lent their good name to this product. And it sounds great. And it's junk.

A great drum set for a good price. Only problem I have is that the touch sensitive is almost too sensitive. It would be nice if there was an option for turning it off. I bought the drum kit for the Fender name and I'm not disappointed with it at all. Sounds really good through the head phones and probably really good through an amp which I don't have as yet. Only reason not a 5 star is because of the sensitivity which some people may like.

This Drumkit works really well if you don't have room for a full drumset or can't play one in your apartment or dorm. I wouldn't suggest this thing for playing gigs because it sounds inferior to a real drumset. If you don't plan on really doing anything with it other than playing along with your mp3 collection or adding recording tracks to mixes, it will probably work for you.

I'm giving it 4 stars because besides the pedals not always being responsive for me, It it exactly what I wanted; a drumset to play in my apartment.

The product is just as the manufacturer labels it: easy to use and fun to play. This product teaches you step-by-step how to play the drums while also giving the option to play at your own will. With an extremely large selection of drum sets to choose from and an easy-to-understand digital display, I'd recommend this to anyone wanting to learn how to play the drums without having to deal with the noise that an actual drum set will make. Great for beginners and intermediates.
