Hey i was just wondering is it possible to use different modules than the Alesis DM6 Drum Sound Module or the D5?

No, Richard. I’d advise against the kit being something to save for. You’re better off telling your parents you’re interested in it as a birthday or holiday gift. You should save up for something like a car.

Tried these at my friends house, and loved it. Especially since for the last 2 months i’ve had my drums broken, but past the warranty. Gotta admit, it’s a lot of money, seen as im only 14 and don’t work, but even without practice for about 2 months i managed to go straight onto the kit and complete Waking The Demon by Bullet For My Valentine. I’m just still deciding whether it’s something to save for.

I just got my Ion Rocker set a few days ago and have already logged about 30 hours on it. I’ve been playing at least 5 days a week for a couple hours a day since November 2007, when RB1 came out. This kit was long overdue. $300 ain’t **** for this amazing piece of work.

Just a tad more info for yall! I have the same kit and I LOVE it! Nothing compares. I have mine on hard wood floor and the drum kit moves around very little. Not even half as much as the RB version does. The kick pedal will move around like crazy on hard wood but I taped it down and its fine. One big problem tho…. The cymbals CRACK! I’ve had my kit for less then two months and I just cracked my second one. Althogh Ion’s taking care of my first one… I don’t know how long theyll keep replacing them for me… There are 9 screws on the bottom of each cymbal that screw on to plastic studs… They’ll break…

I don’t own the Ion set, but I do own that pedal; it is not bad at all. I have had no trouble with it after about five months and through nearly all songs on expert.

I am thinking of purchasing this for my husband, and I really have a lot to spend my money on, do you still think the drums are worth it? Is the pedal as bad as people say they are?

How would you make it an electronic kit? How much does the other pedal cost you were talking about? Thanks for the review.

No, it’s pretty steady, and actually, it can be used as real electronic drums.
