When it comes to drums, I've basically played everything that's ever existed… This drum set though, I've never seen ANYTHING like it before. This is the Donner DDS-520 Silent Acoustic Drum Kit. Donner is the same company that sells the Eastar drums I've shown before (the $400 Amazon drum set and one where I put the heads on the DW kit). This kit is a regular acoustic drum set that has built-in practice pads and comes with a set of low volume cymbals: 14” hi-hats, 16” crash, and 20” ride. The kit is 10” 12” rack toms, 16” floor tom, 22” bass drum, and 14” snare. Did I mention it comes in YELLOW?? I love yellow drums by the way… Anyways, the pads are adjustable with the turn of a drum key so you can play the kit as a normal volume drum set, or turn them on to make it a practice drum kit. I was scared the pads would choke out the drums too much in “normal mode,” but they don't really affect the sound too much to notice. For $500, I would say this is a pretty sound investment, especially if you play drums in an apartment, your family hates you because you're too loud, or any other situation where you don't have the luxury to play your drum set as loud as you want.
This $500 Drum Set Has Built-In PRACTICE PADS??
