do I need the drum unit AND the cartridge?
804830
You mean when you buy it new? It comes with the drum unit and a cartridge that will get you less pages than the usual one. You won't have to replace the drum unit for a long time, but you will need to replace cartridges regularly depending upon how much you use it. Don't pay high prices for cartridges; there are places to get comparable ones for good prices.

Yes, the cartridge fits down in the drum and then slides into the unit. You don't replace them at the same time, though. The drum you have to replace every couple of years. The unit will tell you when it's the drum.

Yes and no. It does include all of the cables, but it doesn't have everything you need to play. The most notable absence is the kick drum pedal. You need one of those, or you can't play the bass drum. You need your own sticks, too, and if you want to hear yourself play, you either need headphones with a 1/4-inch plug or an adapter to enable you to plug in your 1/8-inch headphones. If you want other people to hear you play, you'll have to buy a drum amplifier and a cable to connect it to the module. I don't think it comes with a drum throne, either, so you'll need a stool or something to sit on. Yes and no. It does include all of the cables, but it doesn't have everything you need to play.

Printer does come with drum & cartridge. Only use as network printer & only have computers (no ipads). Would not recommend this printer. Replacement toner cartridges have been difficult to find & print quality has been mediocre at best. Printer is not user friendly. Wish I had gone with HP in comparison analysis even though it had slightly higher operating cost.

It does. I accidentally bought the drum first, and of course, there's no toner with the drum. I bought this, shook it gently side to side, forward and back, keeping it on the level, (I worked in a printer test unit, and that's what we did with every printer cartridge), replaced the old cartridge with this one, and it printed. There was smudging on the first one (or two pages), then perfect after that.

You made the same mistake I made the first time I needed ink. You bought the drums, not the ink cartridges. Send them back, your drums are good for 15,000 pages. You can save them, they don't go bad. The ink cartridges slide into the drums.

no you do not need to replace both. the printer will inform you which cartridge needs to be replaced

as long as the toner fits the drum you should be able to use it and it would have to be able to fit the slot

No it doesn't. I did purchase the one they recommended. I was too much of a novice I guess. I really had a difficult time figuring out how to operate it. It has so many settings and I couldn't get the drum beat I wanted out of it.

an image drum is different from actual ink cartridges, its likely you need ink in addition to the image drum

No it doesn't come with any of those things. Have to buy them separately. Still a pretty nice drum set.

As far as I know, you need both cartridges for the printer to operate properly.

It comes with everything to start playing. The AC adapter is included. Check to make sure all the pads produce sounds. My pads or control module couldn't pick up the signals from one of the pads. My son loves this drum. He says you can hook it up to rockband for Xbox but haven't tried it yet.

It is very easy. But before replacing the drum, be sure to have tried cleaning the inside of the printer as well as the drum roller, by following Brother printer instructions (can be found on website). Also, there is a place inside the printer above the drum area, that is a little rectangular glass area that you should try to clean first. There might be toner splatter up there that might be disfiguring your printed pages. I try to do a good cleaning prior to giving up on the drum. But, alas, I have replaced drums because I really like the printer and want to keep using it. The only mess is clean up, the drum itself just requires to be replaced. There are also instructions in informing the printer itself that it is having its drum replaced. I found Brothers website very useful to research prior to actually changing out the drums. Very detailed instructions/suggestions.

No. It's a very cheap unit. I wish I got a little higher quality one but it does do the trick for a portable and quiet drum practice but don't expect much

Yes you do need a cartridge for it. If you scratch, go with Shure. If you blend/pitch mix, go for Otofon. I use Otofon Concorde Pro S. Sounds great.

This is a really good printer and it does come with a drum unit ready to install. I think it is one of the smaller capacity ones though.

These are cartridges filled with ink, or toner maybe. You just pull your old cartridge out and slide this one in! Resume printing! I don't know what you mean by drum. Is that the shiny rolling pin thing? Yeah it has that. These are really inexpensive compared to the cannon ones, is that why you ask? They work awesome in my printer!!
