Overall, an excellent little digital drum set

I buy this dram set for my sons Christmas Gift, I know he will love this set

I'm a guitar player who has played the drums for many years, but can't afford an acoustic set nor could I make a lot of noise in my apartment

For the price, this is one of the better sets that you can customize and play with headphones on

This is a great set

I prefer to use the custom kits to build a good five piece and maybe a good hand percussion set and stick to those.

I play a nice set of old, regular drums.

This set is almost good enough for a beginning drummer, or to be a super portable kit for an experienced drummer, but the pedals are lousy, and you have to choose full sets of pre programmed drums, none of which are quite right, instead of being able to mix and match.

This is a very good drum set

The set that I had for the past fifteen years finally died (it was a pad-set that needed an external sound module) and I wanted something that had sounds in it

like that Ion set for a hundred something bucks looks like it would have a similar drum placement as a real set, but looks like its lacking in sound and durability)

I'm not a drummer, but I am an active guitar player who was looking to buy an introductory, but tolerable, drum set for my nine-year old

The DD-65 ALSO sounds plenty good (and has plenty of volume) if you plug a decent set of headphones or in-ears into the phone jack

So you get him this nice digital drum set thatdoesn't take much space and is enough to get him through the basics

By my 20s, I played multiple instruments and had nice recording studio with a killer acoustic set

Built-In speakers not loud enough for a good jam sessionFinal thoughts: Overall, the Yamaha DD-65 is an amazing portable drum set for its low-priced, high quality drum set, with the downside of the floor pedals being buttons, but that's a fairly easy fix if you buy the Yamaha KP-65 kick tower in which you can use a real kick pedal and its pad is large enough to sport a double

Overall, this is a great set for a kid or someone wanting to learn to play on.

The DD-65 sounds PLENTY good through a good set of powered speakers or a keyboard amp (for example).

The acoustic set is good too, especially considering the price.-MidiThis is initially the reason I was looking for drum pads
