Volume variance was pretty good, but some softer hits were definitely missed

The snare sometimes won't register a hit

All of a sudden the quality really came out; ghost notes, striking sensitivity and no missed hits

- The snare drum is actually super sensitive, so sometimes when you hit the hi hat (and as said - you can't hit it gently), the snare records a false hit for no

Snare tends to miss hit shots as well as ride cymbaldoes not compare to acoustic drum set

After unpacking and assembling the kit I started tapping around on it and was a little irked about the broken quality; missing hits being the chief problem

High-hat is iffy; have to stomp foot pad to get any sound- ride response is sporadic; does not register gentle hits, and easily goes to "bell" with slightly too hard of hit- cymbal feel is not very realisticWorks out of the box, but tinkering improves it dramaticallyNeed an amplified source, but can put into anything you have, home stereo, whateverBass drum pad too bouncy and require more control than a real drumRim shot triggers with any hit to the frame (I turned it off, its lame anyway)If you KNOW you are going to make a commitment to

You have to hit them harder than expected to ensure the hit will register, or risk occasionally getting no hit at all

I am not experiencing any hit hat symbol problems like others are, so maybe the new ones were shipped with the firmware upgrade

Volume variance was pretty good, but some softer hits were definitely missed

I had hoped to use this as a replacement for a real kit but it is really frustrating when to try to play softly and the pads only register sporadic hits

I was tossing around the idea of getting my first kit for over 6 months, reading reviews and trying to find a kit that if I hated playing I wouldn't be bummed about spending so much and if I loved playing I wouldn't be bummed about the low quality
