Overview
The Donner brand is known for affordability, but it can be a hit or miss when it comes to quality.
The DED-200 5-pc set is a good example of what the company can do when they do things right, which is to keep the quality and features up, while keeping the price low.
It comes with features that you’d normally only find on more expensive kits, notable features include all-mesh heads and chokeable cymbals.
For the money it gives you three toms and a snare pad, all of which are dual zone, something that’ll be hard to beat in its price range.
It also comes with a full complement of essential cymbals which include hi-hat, ride and crash pads.
There is even a small bass pad that you can trigger much like acoustic drums via the included kick pedal, and it has a dedicated foot controller for the hi-hat.
At the heart of this set is a drum module with over 225 sounds.
Some experienced drummers report that the set is not as sensitive to nuances in playing style as they had hoped, but they do commend it for being a basic practice kit for students.
With its dual zone pads and solid build, the Donner DED-200 is highly recommended as a beginner friendly affordable electronic drum set.
