A beast of a set that's ready for the most extreme rock.

The ddrum Defiant 6 piece shell kit is best described by one word: metal. The kit's sparkle lacquer with black shell hardware combination make it stunning enough without being "pretty" and tough enough without being clunky. Basswood shells mean volume, shorter toms mean better rebound for faster playing, and the kick sizes are perfect for blast beats. The Remo head package makes it nearly ready to kill out of the box, and it is as at home on the festival stage as it is in a dingy club.

About ddrum Acoustic Drums No doubt you've seen ddrum around for a long time. Chances are, your favorite drummers have been playing on their gear for years. Players the likes of Tommy Lee, Simon Phillips, Kenny Aronoff and Dennis Chambers have been playing Ddrum triggers and electronic percussion since their introduction in 1983.

The Revolution began when the Swedish Clavia Company developed a radical electronic drum design incorporating traditional drum heads and high-sensitivity piezo triggers. ddrum's unique design set a benchmark for innovation when their trademark red acoustic drum triggers were introduced; allowing players access to a universe of sonic possibilities from the standard drum kit.

From those humble beginnings arose a re-think in the way electronic percussion is sampled, triggered, and played. Generations of pads, triggers, and electronic drum modules have set the stage for the Ddrum 4 SE; the most accurate and professionally preferred complete electronic drum kit in existence.

Now ddrum crosses into another percussive frontier: re-thinking acoustic drums. In the vast landscape of today's "Been there, done that" drum market, it is often difficult-if not impossible-to find something that truly shatters the mold of conventionality.

Welcome to the New Drum Revolution!

i ordered this a week ago. the product is very high quality. the included tom heads sound exceptionally good for stock heads. however one of the boxes i recieved didnt include the tom mount or the tension rods. i dont know maybe this is just a freak thing. s soon as i get new tension rods and a tom mount im sure it will be good. what i already have together sound excellent when tuned right

This set is the best set I've had. I played a pearl 5 peice for a year. Then I decided to move up to a double bass set, but this is all I could afford. And I love it. I haven't had anything go wrong with it. All the heads that came with it except the snare are still useable. The set sounds amazing, and looks it as well. Great buy.

Worst drum set ever

Well well, where do I start. I bought the DDrum Defiant about a year ago and it come with tons of problems right out of the box. The inside of two of the tom shells had some chips which a brand new set should not come with. The bass drums hoops came chipped which had red under the black sparkle which is very noticeable. The biggest problem is that some of the bass drum lugs came striped. At least two of the lug holders on the bass drum are striped and completely useless. This renders tuning impossible and its not just one that is broken but a couple. Also DDrum's costumer service is a complete joke. I just can't get a hold of them. The sstore tried to contact DDrum to purchase the extra toms and they couldn't even get a hold of them!!! I would strongly not recommend DDrum and will never purchase anything from them again.

Got the grey sparkled defiant kit. Set it up, recorded the next day, played a few shows since. Sounds great live, sounds excellent in the studio. They are soo easy to tune. They have clear and distinct tonality. These drums are loud!

killer set

There's no way to go wrong with this set. The kick sounded amazing after just a ruff tuning. I threw a pillow in there to take out the over tones and I haven't had to do anything with it since then.

I only gave a 4 on Quality cause I have to fuss with the snare alot to keep it sounding tuned. Its hard to get a snap and not a thud with it. Which is really a hassle with shows. I'm planning on replacing it.

The rack and floor toms needed new heads but thats nothing new.

If I had the chance to make the decision again I'd deffinetly still go with this again.

p.s. The red kit doesnt look as pink as the pictures make it seem.
