Mesh heads and Roland's module, which is the combination that makes an electronic kit feel like drumming rather than tapping rubber. Whether it stays set up is the real question with any home kit.
This entry is written from the 4 sources listed at the bottom of the page. The numbers are our editorial estimates drawn from that material, not measurements, and no statistical sample sits behind them.
On the evidence gathered here, yes. 78% of owners say they would buy it again, and satisfaction is still 7.8 out of 10 two years in. Roland modules and pads are reported lasting many years.
The kit is fine. The decision that matters is whether it still has a corner of the room, because a packed-away kit is an unplayed kit.
Mesh heads stretch and need replacing. Cable spaghetti and rack creaks develop over time. Kits that get dismantled to free up space rarely get rebuilt.
Roland modules and pads are reported lasting many years. Sentiment across the ownership period stays close to flat, which is rare: it reads 8.5 out of 10 in the first week and 7.8 two years later.
Worth it for: Practising drums in a flat or shared house; Returning drummers with limited space; Recording MIDI drums at home. Think twice if: You have no permanent space for it; Downstairs neighbours sensitive to floor noise; Advanced players needing proper hi-hat control.
