Is this suitable for beginners who have no experience with drumming? (No experience but i'm passionate about learning!)

I bought this drum pad for my 12 year old granddaughter for Christmas. She had no experience with drums and found this drum pad very easy to play. She is having fun with it. We all got in on the action too!

I bought one of these for my 9 yr. old grandson. He and his 12 yr. old sister picked it up right away.

It is OK for beginners it is compact but it will get u started. Pedals need to be on a hard surface for best results

Yes purchased for Christmas for a thirteen year old boy. He loves it. It takes a beating as it should they are drums. Good sound. Well worth the money until you want to move up to real drums.

Definitely. It's very easy to use. You have to hit it center to get great sound. Pedals slip but you can put some anti slip material to stop from sliding. I bought it for my girlfriend as she wants to learn and she loves it.

I think it would work well for non beginners also. It really depends on what you would want for your board. You could probably change everything if you wanted to.

My son is 6 and it fits him good But once he started drum lessons we have realized it's too small. To play on its fine for him but definitely not if your interested In learning to play well. I would say go the next step up for anyone over 8 years old.

It is very good not to say great for amateurs to learn! I'm a starter myself and this midi key has everything a pro one has and even more. Because is Mini, you can take it everywhere with you and practice/perform. Buy it, don't think about it! Learning Ableton Live and Maschine OS with this Novation product has been a breeze. It's Mini but has the Pro in mind, take it from me :-) Read also what Carter said, so true also!!

It's perfect for beginners. I was a beginner when I started using it. Just be careful. Use proper technique or you'll throw your back out. It took me about 3 weeks to get fully used to them

Yes. This is perfect for kids, but this is not a beginner drum set for anyone other than children.

Absolutely! It is very durable and has good sound. You do have to do a little tuning so all the drums don't sound the same. My son absolutely loved it. I would recommend that you get a little bigger set. The one we bought was just perfect for our little 3 yr old. The little stool is adjustable as are the snare drums and the symbols. I know they make a little bigger size for older children. The manufacturer packaged them very well for shipping.

It is a great product for beginners. I personally would have the kid start out on virtual dj free edition without a controller and see how much they use it so they don't end up just throwing it to the side and never touching it again. Once they demonstrate that they are really into it then I'd say get them a mini controller and then this one, and after that a professional one. However, if money is not an issue, then yes, this is a great product.

This set up will accommodate what you are looking to do but with a few possible difficulties. You can only have 16 tracks, which seems like a lot but they can add up fast. It also has no midi inputs. So if you were looking to run any midi in, which is nice for what you're looking for, you'd need a keyboard or other midi instrument with bus power, or you'd have to purchase a midi interface/preamp. You will also most likely find that the plug ins that come stock do not exactly meet every need you have, so you may have to purchase those as well. But for getting started, it's well equipped and very easy to learn, for the best price for the value. Hope that helps

No, absolutely not! For a beginner this instrument would be an excellent choice. $300.00 and some change is more than fair in my estimation. I play mine every day. It's a bit bright at first, but once the wood and strings settle in a bit (the more you play it the faster that will happen) it has a beautiful sound. It DOES NOT have a built in tuner, which is a minor issue for me. But may be a big problem for someone just starting out.

Hey Ron, Welcome to drumming! While much of tuning has to do with personal preference, the Drumdial comes with suggested tension ranges for each drum. I would suggest trying those and adjust from there. The consistency of tuning is what makes this tool so valuable. Hope this helps. Have fun playing! Danny

I don't think this product is suitable for anyone who is learning drumming. The power supply is not suitable for Australia, need get additional power.

hello! well i do recommend this for beginners in synthezizers, this one is of the simple ones`, but attention! this is not a toy, is a very powerfull machine, with wich you can do a lot of things. so if you are looking for a simple keyboard this is not for you. instead if you want to experiment with sounds and start to understand synthtezizers, this is a good start. this instrument will fit very well beginners but also experts who know how to train this little monster!

This drum machine mostly makes synthetic sounds. They can be used for any genre with the only limitation being, if they match the user's taste. I would suggest listening to youtube videos demonstrating all of the sounds that the machine makes and if it is right for you. An instrument is just a tool and there are no hard set rules on what goes with what.

The best what? The best physical interface to use if you're making beats?That's kind of relative. I totally recommend hitting guitar center or Sam Ashe and playing around with what they have to see what feels right for you. Hell, you don't NEED one of these to make beats. I know Skrillex has said in interviews that he's comfortable with his mouse and plotting his drums that way. I don't know if he still does but there's that. Ultimately findingthe method that feels right for you and practicing unti you've got a feel for workflow.

Yes if your buying a few different fifes and flutes to experience and compare. For a real beginner metal might be a bit cutting into soft fingers.

Yes! I find it helpful and not too detailed so beginners can reload without too much problems. Like anything of this nature you have to be careful and always check what you have done and are doing.
