There is also the Drum Coach button for selecting Solo songs to play using the coach function – I’ll talk about this in more detail later. However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers. Pyle’s PTEDRL11 is the lightest and arguably the best portable electronic drum pad on the market. Light as a feather, it offers a convenient way to practice your drum chops and record your music. Key Features:

It’s a slight downgrade compared to the Strike pad but costs a fraction of the price and offers similar performance in terms of versatility and sound quality. The main unit is really nicely portable as it only weighs in at 7.3 pounds, almost 2 pounds less than the Yamaha for example. The pads are good and responsive, you’ll probably find you get the odd missed hit once in a while with really fast drumming. But that’s to be expected with this type of gear. Unfortunately, this drum kit looks like a toy. Many people buy them as a gift for children who are aspiring to become musicians. Many electronic drum pads can be upgraded with foot pedal triggers, which can circumvent this issue.

Features

Some pads come with hundreds of sounds, while others will come with only a few. Perhaps you already know that more sounds mean more creative flexibility. You can change the sound of the kit inside the pad as you wish, enabling you to create your own kits from the ground up. For beginners, make sure to find a drum set with a built-in metronome. This will improve rhythm and help you jam with other musicians. However, there are a few products that have made me revisit my earlier thoughts, considering their durability. It’s one of the best-sounding electronic drum set pads out there tone-wise, as each voice was designed to be as close to acoustic voices as possible. Alesis is renowned for making some of the best high-end electronic drum kits and pads. The Strike Multipad changed the game for e-drum pads by bringing a streamlined design and unparalleled sonic quality. Key Features:

Other Control: Pad & Bass Pedal Sensitivity Adjustment: Preset: 5 types (Fix, 1-4), Custom Setting: 10 As well as new drummers, the DD-75 is perfect as an all-in-one mini drum kit solution for more professional players, without having to lug your whole kit around! The ultimate all-in-one drum solutionWith four velocity-sensitive drum pads, the CompactKit 7 electronic drum kit delivers a realistic drum sound with the feel and response of a real set of drums. In addition to great sound, response and quality of build, the CompactKit 7 portable electronic drum kit comes loaded with a whole host of cool features. With 265 percussion voices, 45 preset drum kits and 5 user drum kits the possibilities are almost limitless. Most people have a problem with Alesis Strike Multipad’s price tag. Even though it is the most expensive model on the list, I firmly believe it’s one of the best electronic drum pads that money can buy. Pros The Start/Stop button for songs and the Game button are other visible buttons found on the face of the Alesis Compact Kit 4 machine. However, sound quality is subjective. Everyone prefers different sounds. So, it may not be a very good idea to give my opinion too much weight. Donner’s DED 50T is the prime example of a well-made e-drum pad. The pads are remarkably responsive; there are dozens of percussion voices you can experiment with, and the intuitive positioning of the pads & speakers makes it very easy to play.

The main selling point of PTEDRL11 is its roll-up design. Even though most e-drum pads are considerably smaller and lighter than full-sized electronic drum kits, this model takes portability to another level. The kits give you everything you need in the box too, so they make a great gift for the kids, grandkids, significant other… or even yourself. 🙂
