Carlsbro CSD130 Digital Drum Kit, CSD130XXX

Product Information

No one can deny that the sound you get from quality acoustic drums is unbeatable. They are natural and also flawless.

For playing in different genres or styles, you can utilise the twenty preset drum kits that all have different tones. For even more stylised playing, there are 250 percussive voices that can be assigned to each drum or cymbal making the kit completely customisable. There are also ten drum kit slots that will save your customised drum sounds for later use. It is the most expensive kit in our roundup so that may dissuade diehard budget conscious buyers, but the leap isn’t excessive. Some also may not like the idea of not being able to design custom kits.This is quite a low kit dimensionally. If you’re tall you may actually find it too small. The solution is a drum riser Carlsbro are a well-established British company, better known for their guitar, bass and keyboard amplifiers than they are for electronic drum kits, but let’s not hold that against them! The mesh pads are a big omission though. Rubber pads just feel artificial. For that reason, we’d put it just behind the other kits ahead of it in this review. If you want to play without disturbing anyone, even with the thuds, connect your headphones. You can hear the sounds clearly.

One of the most incredible electronic kits that you can search and find in the market is Carlsbro CSD120 Electronic Drum Set. It has some of the unique features that every drummer needs. This electronic drum kit is suitable for practice through headphones or playing live at venues with limited spaces via a powered amplifier. Longer review. A complete drum kit, of surprisingly high quality: the pads are perfectly good to get the feel of real drums but without all the noise and bulkiness.You can set this up practically anywhere and play away to your heart's content. Obviously it isn't silent for someone in the same room, but in most places it will not be too annoying if you keep the door shut. OK, mesh drums are physically quieter and slightly more represent the feel of a real drum kit, but...well, this is so inexpensive and well-specified that it makes its own argument at its price point. The bass drum pedal in particular is outstanding. You can really learn to drum on this thing! All Carlsbro drums come with a manual that helps us in setting up the drum set. It is easy to use the user manual to complete your setup. Before setting up your small electric drum set, you are given the safety measures and how to maintain the kit for extended use. The drum module should be placed well. Carlsbro has done a pretty good job with the CSD 130 to produce a budget electronic drum set that would suit any beginner. It has no standout points however: the sounds are only average and despite the rubber pads being OK, they’re certainly not as good as mesh.There are rims around the drum heads that are quite high. An 8” drum isn’t exactly large to start with so you may find yourself hitting the rims. Not a dealbreaker but it takes some getting used to The kit contains a bass drum controller pedal, a hi-hat controller pedal, and three single-zone cymbals for hi-hat, ride, and crash. It also features a stereo line output and MIDI in/out. It features 20 preset drum kits onboard that come from different music genres. They are all aligned with quality drum machines. Although the pad positioning is adjustable on the toms, the snare isn’t. If it’s uncomfortable you’ll have to live with it
