Customer ratings for XDrum DD-530 Electronic drumset with mesh heads

Overall, very nice kit.
Only weakness is the hit-hat / pedal interaction. But this is the biggest challenge for all electronic kits.

Great set as a starter

Realistic feel with the mesh heads, equipment for the beginner (like me) more than sufficient. Excellent packaging, assembly quickly done. Stability satisfactory, but for the price quite acceptable. And complete with foot machine and Hi Hat pedal, which are incomprehensibly missing in many sets. So far very satisfied.

For a casual player like me is a perfectly adequate and great e drum. Comes almost very close to a real drum kit. Super I find the huge selection of sounds and the individual setting options.
For the money really a great e-drum

So, now I write a review after all.
Hello, once briefly beforehand.
I'm a newbie to drums, although I've been playing on a "natural set" from Pearl for over a year. Playing together with friends in my basement didn't work very well because of the volume. So I had to get an electric drum and decided to buy a used Roland TD 1 KV. I was completely enthusiastic and wanted more. So I sold the Roland again and?
A new Roland was out of the question, unfortunately much too expensive. Used the demanded prices are unfortunately also completely spoiled. Thus times the large Internet search started. Result: I found the XDrum DD-530 at Kirstein.
Test results, reviews and price were all damn good and then still 60 days money back. You can't go wrong. I ordered it right away.
After four days it arrived, I immediately set it up and off to the Yamaha PA.
Now after more than two months and every day at least an hour of practice, I'm still thrilled.
No failures, no signs of wear, the module does its job and sounds after some settings, to my sensation, also very good.
I can only recommend it, it does not always have to be the Mercedes as a hobby device.
Yesterday I ordered the add-on, so another Tom and a basin.
There is a small deduction but then with the basins. They could be a little more sensitive.
Conclusion: I have a good feeling with and on the E-Drum and would buy it again.

I'm super satisfied, the construction ran without complications BUT when assembling the foot machine has the thread for the screw to fix the clapper turned through without the I have used even rudimentary much force. So the whole assembly (actually the whole foot machine) is now useless for the clapper.
I am lucky that I could borrow an old foot machine from a friend so that I can now devote myself to playing and the technique. (Therefore 1 star less)
Otherwise I am fully satisfied for now. Shipping was super fast!

Quick to assemble, great sound, our son is absolutely happy with this set!

ADVICE KIRSTEIN!!!!!! , immaculate product. Only downside, delivery entrusted to Italian shipping company.

I can recommend Kirstein at any time.
Goods correspond to the description, communication best and the delivery time, just now ( deadly virus everywhere, Ha ha) was only 3 days from date of order.

I am a beginner and I am satisfied with the battery.
Only downside: the instructions should also be attached in Italian.

I am satisfied with the XD, the only flaw is not having the instructions in Italian.

The delivery was as promised fast, the quality of the drums great.

Understandable construction even for a leien . Does not take up so much space.

easy to use, pleasant sound, very good price-performance ratio, the mesh heads dampen well

I like the drum set because it is compatible with my double drum foot machine.
Very cool

About Kirstein
+ Excellent advice before ordering.
+ Easy to schedule delivery with express shipping.
To the E-drum:
+ Optimally packaged.
+ Easy to assemble.
+ High quality workmanship.
+ Optically very appealing.
+ The feel is equivalent to E-drums, which are considerably more expensive.
+ Good playability due to the size of the pads and cymbals.
+ Very quiet meshpads, hardly disturb roommates and neighbors.
+ The sound is good, if that is not enough you can upgrade with software like EZdrummer.
+ - With the exception of the hihat (small trigger range) the pads and cymbals trigger very well.
- Sometimes occur quiet noise (beeping) when playing through headphones, if no pad is struck. When playing itself this hardly disturbs. The noise can be eliminated by interposing a shielding filter (between module and headphones) which reduces the volume of the pads and cynbals.
- It would be desirable to have the notes for the various practice pieces.
In sum, a very good E-drum at a very reasonable price.
Dealer and product are absolutely recommendable.

General:
+ good advice
+ fast delivery

About the set:
+ easy assembly
+ good sound in relation to the price
+ can be played well (comes close to an acoustic set)
- the operation of the electronics could be more intuitive
- couldn't find any notes for the stored patterns/beats so far

Conclusion:
The invenstition has been worthwhile for me as a re-beginner. Good price/performance ratio. If you want a better sound, you can achieve this with software on the PC.
Notes for the stored exercises would be desirable. (Maybe I just have not found them yet?)

Delivered quickly and very good advice given over the phone.

Together with other musicians, we are creating our own recording studio and we needed an electronic drum set that doesn't cost a lot of money both to rehearse our own tracks and to use as midi for VSTs. The sound is fundamental for those who make Music, so it becomes necessary to have instruments that allow the best possible quality. This drum kit offers a lot for the price.
Without exaggerating, I can safely say that I have heard more expensive drums sounding worse than this one.

It comes in a bulky box, yet not very heavy (about 26 kgs), and you can easily carry it around by yourself. Inside, everything is divided into several smaller packages, with bits of polystyrene between some of them. At the bottom, when you remove these packages and lift a cardboard sheet, you find the structure. This is wrapped in plain plastic bags, and carefully placed in spaces created to keep the various tubes separate. I would have liked to see some polystyrene under these too, or at least a double layer of cardboard. The main packaging is thick, but not so thick as to prevent water from getting through in case it falls into clumsy hands (not my case).

Assembly is not at all difficult and the kit also includes the keys needed to tighten the various components. The manual, although not in Italian, is Ikea style and then there are the various drawings that guide the user to the correct assembly. I assembled it by myself and it took me less than an hour, doing things calmly. After assembling everything and connecting the control unit, I turned it on.
I must say that the structure is pretty solid.

The control unit controls are quite intuitive, although you need the manual to understand some setting items. I would say that the customization is really good, allowing you to change the touch sensitivity, the reverb, the type of sound of each pad, the pitch, and several other functions related to the sound you want. Everything, of course, can be saved in memory, thus creating different styles according to your needs.

As I said, the sound reproduced is better than some more expensive drums. Although far from the sound of an acoustic, the definition is good and I really think that an average listener would not notice the difference, especially these days where electronic drums are the order of the day.
Playing it you get a good feeling, and it doesn't fail to entertain. The response of the pads is really good, even if I found some lag on the cymbal stop, and the rim shot of the snare doesn't drive me crazy, also because it seems to lack of intensity perception. And if I have to be honest, the only faults I've found so far are these two. The cymbals (crash and ride) also perceive the change of touch according to the zone, so the sound varies if you hit in the middle of the cymbal or on the edge. Even when played at great speed, the response of the various pads will not lag, always giving you a very good feeling of affinity with the instrument.

In conclusion, this is definitely a good drum kit that offers a lot for the price at which it is sold, entering in a medium range suitable for both amateurs and professionals.

excellent product, very easy to assemble, the skins have excellent performance and are very close to those of acoustic drums, everything as in the description. The toms respond to the shots in a very faithful. I recommend it to those who can not have an acoustic but wants sounds and sensitivity of almost the same level. my daughter is thrilled. In some ways it is even better than the acoustic, offering the possibility in a single instrument of many sounds.

Price performance very good!
The volume in the headphones could be a touch louder

Good but very low volume charleston a little 'inaccurate the flaw is that there is no manual in Italian.

great product for the studio and also live the level of this drum kit is not for beginners!
The mesh skins on all the toms have an optimal response and much does the size (10 inches) of the snare drum,
The hi-hat control pedal is not very sensitive and could be done better.

Delivery was acceptable and the e-drum set was very well packaged. The e-drum works perfectly and is highly recommended. For this price is one of the best and great for beginners and advanced.

after the fast delivery and the assembly I can only say as a beginner: have made with the purchase of the XDrum DD-530 nothing verkerht

A really versatile, nice product , for a very reasonable price. A lot of features, good for learning, practicing or for a live show at all. The set is also expandable, which is a good extra.

I am a beginner and have been using the drum set for a few days. An online course shows me the first exercises and I am already making small progress. The drum set is really great for the price. However, I have exchanged the foot machine because it did not fit me well. A Tama Iron Cobra is now under the drums.

First of all, I'm a complete beginner. I do practice at drum school on a Roland professional edrum set and on a Pearl acoustic set. My first edrum at home was a rubber pad based one; it was a standard component set like dozens you can find online. The rubber gave some feedback but what it was lacking was really the kick pad which was very low on volume even with all setups available. Then I gave it back for the hi - hat pedal failure. So I've been searching through the web since weeks carefully to find out an affordable set (around 500 euros which seems to be the minimum price for a serious beginner set). Mesh was not mandatory but since I was practicing on a Roland Vdrum set I was willing to get closer feedback from pads as possible.
It's been some days I'm practicing on this 530 set and, frankly, for that price I think there's nothing comparable in the whole market for a beginner (and, who knows, maybe also for a more experienced player).
Delivery has been lightning fast and fully trackable, package solid and assembling a breeze. The quality seems truly genuine,
Pad response and feedback is impressive, you can't describe. Just try it.
Sound module works good, sounds are from good to very good; the learning functions are very, very useful and force you to practice, practice and practice again. I've set the module on the central bar to keep an eye at the metronome without keeping my head turned on the right side where the module usually is connected.
The module is also expandable if you get a grip with drums so really at this moment I can't find any flaw. I'll update my review in the future after some months of use.
A very, very good set. If you're a beginner and want to practice seriously without breaking the bank there is no better choice.

A great electric drum set. The assembly together with my six-year-old son has made fun. I would have found it better if the rack would be pre-assembled. Who has no drum stool and no headphones, should think directly to the co-order.

very nice part with great sound, has everything you need, comparable with Roland TD11 in some things even better and for the price is the hammer.

Only the basins are loud you hear more the beat on the basin than the sound.
Do you have to set it iwie differently that the tank sound is louder?

The set is recommended to me because of the flexible construction of the drum teacher of my daughter. The construction is easy to assemble u, the sound is good (but I am not able to compare with many other devices).

So to the drum set can only say: Absolutely top price / performance ratio. Very good workmanship! And shipping to Austria was surprisingly fast. Monday ordered and transferred money, on Wednesday (!!!) I had the part in Austria. Am very satisfied!

After several other e drums from Roland and Alesis I decided to buy this e drum. The very reasonable price and the very good playability have convinced me in the end. Quality-wise, the drum kit makes a very solid impression.
The service of the company Kirstein was very good, the product was within three days with me. All in all, highly recommended.

Fast delivery. Perfectly packaged!!! Quick assembly with good instructions. Everything is explained in detail, so even the inexperienced have no problem. The whole thing is very valuable and well made.
The sound is OK for this price range. The feeling of the drums is almost upper class, only the cymbals are a little too quiet in the kit, the HiHat a little too loud. But that can be changed via the menu.
Thus, the set is a clear recommendation for beginners and advanced.

For the price really a very decent drum set. I had bought me 8 years ago one of the predecessors, but this is virtually at the same price as then already a quantum leap. The set plays very pleasant and is definitely for beginners and people like me (never had lessons, self-taught with little time to play) in my opinion well suited. How better drummers see it, I can not assess.
The delivery by Kirstein was as usual very fast. The assembly of the set goes despite instructions in English to about 1.5 hours without problems. The foot machine I find contrary to other reviews actually quite passable. The toms and the cymbals are also good. Only criticism on my part: the stop function for the cymbals works only sproradisch (maybe I just do not check it correctly ?), but there is also nothing to read out from the instructions, what I do there possibly wrong. And the controller for the hihat should actually also have a half-open position, I obviously don't have that much sensitivity either: it's either open or closed.
Nevertheless: for hobby drummers who are looking for something for the small purse, from my point of view absolutely recommendable.

I am satisfied with the article, sounds like a REAL drum set, for learning and practice I find it good.
But I am a beginner.

Hello,

have ordered the E-Drum, after 2 days it was already there. Then built up according to instructions jerk tock
connected and immediately you could start. It is for the price a super drum kit, very variable
and very nice to play.
Recommendable.

The DD-530 is a very good electric drum kit you can really only recommend it for this price.
The only thing I have to complain about is the foot machine because I will order another one.
The package was within two days there all the best.

For this price a great offer. Ideal for practice. Almost no noise level.
Good sound.

Makes Really Laune to play!
something quiet from the sound, but maybe I have wrong headphones, but you can basically get out again through PC.

Quality, is for the price just really good,
Normally you get such a quality only with 1000+ euros.

Overall, I can only recommend for beginners as well as advanced.

really good... I would buy again! Price / performance OK. foot machine goes so.

Astreines Drumset. Stable linkage, clean triggers and is really fun with the mesh heads, which you can adjust as desired. The sounds sound good out of the box - there are plenty of experimental sounds too - but really get into it when played via PC with the right software. There's no latency from the drum and cabling via USB is easy.

The DD-530 is very well suited for beginners. With the mesh heads, it has a feature set that is usually only found in sets over 1000 euros. The sounds are good and can be expanded and improved via midi. The mesh pads react very well and can be played dynamically. Unfortunately, the crash pads and the hi-hat pad do not always react exactly and are in need of improvement, but with time you develop a feeling where you have to hit so that they react. It's also a pity that you don't have the cables individually, so you're a bit hindered in adapting the set to your personal wishes. The volume is within limits and with a pedestal you can also minimize the impact sound of the bass drum, so as not to annoy his neighbors.

All in all, a good entry-level set with which you can have a lot of fun.

Fun to play. Mesh-Heads's not really for the price. Everything is top.

For my son, who plays not long but very passionate drums, the set was an absolute enrichment. NAch very fast delivery easy to assemble, good sound over headphones, many verscheidene sounds possible. We are happy with it.

I wanted to start playing drums for a long time, but I didn't have a rehearsal cellar or anything else where I could play. Since I live in a rented apartment it is with the drumming in the apartment also rather bad than right. So I bought this e-drumset and am absolutely convinced of this product!

When I connect the headphones, you hear thanks to the mesh-heads only minimal "pocking" of the pads, which does not even reach the housemates of the house. The set also has a nice tutorial integrated, with which the entry into the world of drums is very easy gestltet. The exercises can also be done faster or slower. Apart from the many different drum types that are pre-selectable, you can set the sounds for each individual pad yourself and thus create your own drum set and save! Also the sensitivity of the individual pads can be adjusted so that they do not have to be played so hard to make a sound.

I am very happy with the quality of the battery and the good sound it provides when I connect it to a PC.
I will add the extension I recommend
