Comments about Simmons SD550 Electronic Drum Set with Mesh Pads:
Great set of electronic drums that have an acustic sound to them, when needed. Lots of fun beating on the mesh heads and the heads can take punishment. I suggest you also buy the Simmons drum amplifier with two monitor and one big bass woofer, to complete this awesome piece of luxury for a small price.I have had rubber pads and these are very close to the 1000$ mesh pads from other manufacturers. Im not a pro, but it sure sounds like I am now.Very nice sound.

Comments about Simmons SD550 Electronic Drum Set with Mesh Pads:
This is probably one of the best values in electrical drums. Especially during holiday sales. Sounds good. All mesh heads. Yes, it's not a Roland but if you're on a tight budget or just beginning this is the kit for you.

Comments about Simmons SD550 Electronic Drum Set with Mesh Pads:
Guitar player, occasional drummer. 2 nice Pearl kits previously, first electronic kit. Seemed the best deal for the money...did not disappoint. A bit smaller than I expected, but worked for me as I have limited space. Easy to assemble, the 550 has great sound and a nice feel. I think the mesh heads help that, and the processor is easily navigated and instinctive. Wide variety of sounds and mods, but not too much. Packaging was well engineered and if the set is as good as the packaging and marketing it will be a winner. Time will tell.

Comments about Simmons SD550 Electronic Drum Set with Mesh Pads:
Frankly, the sounds are impressive, but the instrument let me down in responsiveness. I need to hear the sound when i play - not delayed a fraction of a beat.
