DD502

[aloywkd]

can you use the hihat pedal as a doouble bass pedal?

[TrollingSince1992]

i also found some like fame dd-502 ii on ebay cant tell which one is the one showing in this video can i buy this from ebay?

[jfahys]

Thank you very much. Very well done. Made my decision easy.

[lowgitek]

this is the fame dd-502 ii?

[Zam0rak41]

@lowgitek Yeah, I'm also wondering that :P

[DECIFERTHIS09]

i bought the osp stm-1300 and now am looking into these for the studio I lost my 10% of my next purchase card but still have my receipt can I use that on these drums every penny counts.

[palaflia]

Hello, great review. I am about to buy a drum kit, but I am not sure between DD501 and DD502. Is DD502 more robust or better quality than DD501?

Thanks

[ZackyV]

@palaflia i would advise against it. I owned this exact set and it's crap. The velocity hitting of the toms and snare are aweful. The cymbals don't have a way to stop ringing after you strike. The bass pedal has to be hit very hard to register a good sound. Don't be cheap like me and invest in a better set

[palaflia]

@ZackyV thanks for your advice. The thing is that I am just starting to learn, I will do it as a hobby. I don't think I need something professional. My budget is that and I will choose between one of those sets.

Regards,

[Ryanh1241]

Do you need an amp to ply without headphones?

[pheonexmonkey5]

can you buy the amp seperately

[pheonexmonkey5]

do you need the amp to play the kit

[kimkikki86]

@pheonexmonkey5 you can easely play it with headphones,but i suggest you to take an amp like a guitar one,a roland cube series for istance.

[ioana6500]

hey gentlemans...I have one question... the bass drum pad can support some fast double bass ?? please reply just if you are sure...please reply :)

[xxArcanox]

@ioana6500

The answer is yes but, if you want a kit to play serious or metal songs i recomend to you to spend a little bit more of money, or buy an acoustic kit.

[152Ked]

@xxArcanox So you cant plug in headphones like ive seen in other videos?



[xxArcanox]

@152Ked All the sound modules must have 1 slot to connect the headphones, this isn´t an exception

[loveyamelanie]

Good kit to learn from. Is NOT a good kit for trying to play any metal with double bass such as Lamb of God.

[disperazione]

cicione

[Scandik1488]

I have a question...at this drum set if i want to buy another cymbal....do i have enough slots in that plastic thing ^^?

[matteonokia1994]

@Scandik1488 no

[Legomygrego16]

how many preset drums are there, and how long do the cymbals last? also does it have any play along songs set onto the set, and does it have a jack so i can put in my ipod to listen to some tunes?

[scout005]

Koncepts SME-359.

[dolphin21040]

I have some question, I got a DD502, and when I set up the bass, when kick the bass, it not sound the sound i set up, it sound like...just like something wrong the bass...how can i fix it?

[scout005]

Bought a set exactly like this at Sam's Club for $250!

[kridere]

@scout005 Really? What brand is it?

[DavidJClark94]

Does anyone know if the DD502 can have Roland pads/ cymbals because some say yeah and no.

[beaulolp]

yeah mike, cool mike, thats great mike. Shut up talk to the customer. I have one of these kits!

[Legomygrego16]

@beaulolp are you impressed with it? how long have you had it?

[beaulolp]

@Legomygrego16 Yes I am VERY impressed with it. I love how you can play along with the songs...and how you can customize your own drumkit! I put it together without instuctions becasue it was really that easy....I would acually highly reccommend this drumkit to you!

[AllAroundGamingClips]

I have the dd505 kit and everything is the same except the cymbals are round and the pads are bigger and black. wtf i could of got basically the same kit for less. Ahhhh shit lol

[wowdruidboy]

I am getting this kit and I am completely fail at putting

Stuff together, never set up a drum kit let alone a electronic one and hate little screws and bolts. How longneould it take me to build this, if I can that is. Thank you and nice demo, persuaded me to buy it

[wowdruidboy]

Hey, wich is better dd502 or dd505? thank you

[JohnKodes]

does anyone else get an echoish sound with these drums? what could cause this?

[ciaranm789]

@JohnKodes i think there is a reverb function on it that you can turn off.or maybe its the moniters ur using if any....hope i helped

[cheparo5]

is osp dd502 and dd502 the same drum kit?

[Rawlfe]

@cheparo5 Yes they are the same kit. :)

[hellothermynameistom]

Can you use the dd502 without the amp? For instance does it have its own speakers?

[CanuckleHead99]

@hellothermynameistom You can use headphones, but it doesnt have built in speakers

[123marijn321]

can i use a guitar amplifier to use it as a monitor?

[orioneriksen]

@123marijn321 yes but be careful. the low frequencies of the drum set will wreck your speakers at high volumes. you can use a keyboard amp.

[rustyplaysguitar]

can you put a double kick pedal on this?

[EMello86]

The upgraded Ion Drum kit is exactly the same, and also works with rock band and guitar hero.

[shaftsbury94]

i got one 100 pound second hand shop in liverpool does the job on headphones, although havent put it through an amp yet.

[90Portnoy90]

how much could it cost????

[Kane464]

HOw is this kit for simple home recording?

[alancheeky]

can i just double check - is this the ROCKATRONIC DD502, or is it a different make?? Cheers.

[TehDrumZguy]

Things i need to know:

can you use ANY amp with this kit?

Can you use any old speekers with this kit?

how to u record yourself playing on this kit? (without amp or speekers, using your pc or something)

can you do anything to do with your pc with this kit? if so what?

[roidroid]

@TehDrumZguy It has both a normal stereo 6.35 mm socket, labelled "headphones".

Plus 2 mono 6.35 mm sockets (left and right).

So it's basically the standard audio plugs that amps use, you can plug straight in.

my small guitar amp doesn't have enough bass (can't hear the kick drum) , so i plug it into my computer's 5.1 speaker setup to get adequate bass.

It also has a midi out. So with a MIDI to USB converter you can hook it upto your PC.

[TehDrumZguy]

how can you record youself on ur pc? i herd u can do tht plz rply

[spideymeen96]

Hi. I have a question. Where can you get the double bass drum pad?? I can't find it anywhere on ebay. Btw I might get this drumset on july.

[roidroid]

@spideymeen96 it doesn't have a double bass pad.

[nigel17061995]

Hi i have a question about this drum set.

at the end of this week i am going to buy this drum kit but can i plug in headphones so other people can't hear me drum..?

srry for my bad english.

[nikeo671]

@nigel17061995 yes sir you can.

[nigel17061995]

@nikeo671 haha don't call me sir i am just 14 yrs old xD

[marcauw]

NiCe!!

[goncalobbb]

can we choke and roll the cimbals?

[darkbatt]

@goncalobbb No u can't thats nice kit, i have this and trust me... the sound are so diferent, in this vid the sounds is very good cuz they use an amplifier goods and good acualizer... thats why... but is good if u used the kit with vst programs as ezdrummmer or addictive drums... that i used.... sorry dude, my english sucks lol just try tu help u

[darkbatt]

@goncalobbb... no u cant, i have this kit and trust me, en this video de sound is very good cuz they used good amplifiers and good ecualizer .. i think.. cuz my kit sound is so artificiallity, but is good kit to practice, and better if u use this with vst programs. ezdrummer, addictive drums (i recommend this cuz i have this) but, is good an just good... sorry my english sucks dude lol XD just trying 2 help u

[matttheloft]

I also think that anyone who bitches and moans about this product cannot be a serious drummer. The guy in this video seems to make it sound pretty damn good, and although he is being paid to sell it, he is one hell of a drummer who proves that this kit has potential.

[TheDrummerMaC]

the set is good to start out with as i did but after i got much better with the music the drumset jus falls apart. this set is fragile and shouldnt be bought for ppl that want to get serious. but regardless it is a good starter kit

[matttheloft]

@TheDrummerMaC

What were you expecting for a $500 kit?

Of course it's not comparable to anything like Roland, but then again, its not going to be for that price.

You can always replace the pads if you are unsatisfied with the pads.

I thought the set was a bargain, and has been fine for me. No problems at all, and since I use it exclusively with Addictive Drums and EZ drummer, it is absolutely perfect for my purposes.

I absolutely recommend this product for anyone wanting an affordable kit.

[nurdysplurdy]

Fair comment, guitar77809.

I suspect that the more 'pro' the drummer is, the more they'll consider this a 'toy'. That's fair enough too!

To be honest, I'd be reluctant to pay the full - new - price for one of these, but there's a steady stream of them up for sale from peeps who bought them on a whim and then discovered they have no rhythm...

If you find out you are one of them - just sell it on!

(Great fun, tho'...!)

[nurdysplurdy]

Yes. The frame is symmetrical, and you can place any pad or cymbal pretty much anywhere you like.

The second - lower - bar that's holding the snare can just as easily be fitted to the right hand post, just as it's fitted here to the LH one.

It's a great starter kit, but is obviously limited as it only has single-trigger pads so no variety of sound other than volume once you've selected the actual drum sound you want from each pad.

[mjrage21]

Im a left handed drummer.can i change the position of the drum kit and cymbals to a left handed position?

[grid911]

@mjrage21 yes. but don't get this kit.

it sucks so bad i've got a Yamaha dtxplorer and used to have one of these the difference is amazing. remember this video isn't the whole truth they are not trying to help you there trying to sell it.

happy drumming

jj

[nurdysplurdy]

Guitar77809 - a tad unfair, I think.

Of COURSE Roland and Yamaha are in a different league - but so are their prices. The only Roland I know of that's comparable in price is their entry-level HD1. Would I choose that Roland over this kit? I'm not so sure - the Roland doesn't even have a proper kick pedal...

You COULD use this with a live band or for rehearsal - obviously it has its limits but it'll provide a perfectly adequate rhythm section for most 'local' bands.

[guitar77809]

as i said, great for leisure play, I know these arnt comparable to Rolands, I'm just saying that these drums are not semi-pro instruments, I would consider this a toy, as i would also consider the HD-1 a toy. I'm just trying to say that this kit is only an entry level kit and nothing more. As far as I know Roland dominates the e drum market but there WAY over priced. I think this kit is worth the money, but no more then a leisure kit.

[nurdysplurdy]

Guitarking - changing the heads will only affect the ACOUSTIC sound (the 'thump' audible to other people in the room!) not the electronic. They will probably also slightly affect the dynamics - how the sticks bounce.

MESH heads will, I understand, be the quietest, and probably also the be the most authentic feeling - although I am more than happy with the standard pads. (Mesh heads - around £30)

5MinuteEpoxy, you can assign ANY of the sounds to ANY of the pads! 8 snares if you like...

[nurdysplurdy]

Arjen Schout, is this the same as a Hayman DD 03?

Yes!

Another name for essentially the same system. However, the Hayman's kick pad - like the one in the video above - looks like the larger size, useful if you want to fit two kick peddles.

(I have this kit in Arbiter XTD-102 form - identical to the kit above, but has only single-sized kick pad.)

[nurdysplurdy]

Vivalaethan, the only difference I am aware of between the 502 and 505 models is that the latter has round cymbals! Ie: a purely cosmetic difference only. They have identical pads, brain, stand, features, etc.

These kits are released under MANY different names (Session, Legacy, Millennium, Mamba, etc) with only slight cosmetic variations between them - different coloured pads, possible different sizes of kick pad, etc. - but they are essentially the same.

[guitar77809]

Any one planning on buying this kit, please read this first. This is NOT i repeat NOT an professional or even semi pro instrument, the sounds are very cheesy and acousticly this kit is VERY loud. for $500.00 you get what you pay for. the cymbals are single trigger as well as the pads and the heads crack and dent after a while. Great for leisure play but not even comparable to Rolands. For a semi pro kit, go with the Roland TD-4's. they sound great. This is a fun set to mess around on

[vivalaethan09]

whats the difference between the dd502 and the dd505?

[guitarking098]

Does changing the heads alter the sound in any way????

[JUANito993]

its all about roland yamaha and simonns.

[5MinuteEpoxy]

does the bell work on the ride? or the hi hat?

[riverstrat]

I heard the ride cymbal like once or twice, had no chime to speak of.

Any links to 'standard kit'  ride samples ?

Rest of the kit sounds great.

[joakodrummer]

can you use double bass with this kit?

[tayloroake]

yes

[ArjenSchout]

Is this the same as Hayman DD 03?

Ty

[sledgehammer220]

this kit is amazing

[Flandrons]

OMG I hate this kit! I bought it and after 4 mounts I soled it, dident like it at all.

Now I have a ROLAND TD-3, its awesome! :)

[jotunblod]

why did u hate it?

[Flandrons]

Well I must say that in the beginning I liked it, but the sound when you hit the pads is way to loud and it breaks after a while of playing...

But the sound is really good for a kit like this.

[jotunblod]

It breaks? What broke? Is the Roland about the same price range or what? I'm just looking for a decent "mid range" kit.

[thebishop72]

I'm not entirely convinced about the quality of this kit. The guys seem to be over-selling it a bit. Can the heads be replaced with mesh? What does the amp sound like (the one that comes with it, not the Peavey they have it hooked up to in the vid)? I noticed the kick pad moving quite a bit and he didn't seem to be hitting it that hard. How well does this (or will this) stand up to regular, fairly hard use?

[roidroid]

@thebishop72 it doesn't come with an amp.

[EgyPeti]

does it work good with an acoustic drum and ddrm triggers and piezos ?

[zihelmet]

yes it does i play with roland pads pd 80r,kd8,pd8,cy8,cy5 and it works good except kick trigger , it dosn't sound very loud with module presets but if u trigger midi with vst ezdrummer bfd A.D etc. u can turn up the volume of the kick . am using sound blaster x-fi pro it gves me latency below 2ms wich is good. PS. dont buy this drumset!!!!!!!!! its a crap ,pads r cocky its even worse than IED 05 period.

[SShireto]

Can you set the hi hat control as a bass drum?

So you can have double bass without double pedal?

[TeamOfM]

Yeah you can

[everquesttime]

5:30 He didnt say death metal im not buyin this bull shit

[bmx4lfe12]

how big is it in measurements

[Chairmaneoin]

That's what SHE said!

[SShireto]

pretty small

[MyNameCouldBeRyan]

Wow, so they don't know what "velocity" means.

[rrivas1985]

can u reply on where 2 get that double bass pedal? and how much it costs?

[DunkerDonko]

You can get them at music stores, or buy online. They range from $100-$800

[willmuno]

sounds kinda crapy...it doesnt sound like a real drum set

[underwwraps2]

No Cons? UW2

[krad1313]

you gave me everything but the price and URL, lol what are those? and is this still being sold?

[gustello]

Hey all!

I am a absolute beginner & have never hit a drum before. Would that model be the right thing for me ... or should I look on eBay for something cheaper ... maybe pre-owned?

Thanks in advance for any replies!!!

[McFlandro]

Well, I bought this kit 2 days ago and im very happy. its a good kit not only for beginners . I highly recomend this kit for you.

Sorry for my bad english...

[gustello]

Hey, thanks for replying. I bought this kit a week ago ... and it's awesome. It was pretty cheap (300,- €) & it fits great for beginners ... which I am. I am making good progress & will probably hang on to it for a few years ... until I am getting more advanced.

[RobinMoviesOffical]

This is a awesome kid for a medium player. For a realy beginner that plays for the first time i just say: take the dd501 its dont haves 200+ sound in it just one kit but its just better for a realy beginner.

[OneAvenue96]

there is a flaw in this drum , i have it . the sounds aint that bad, but the sound produced by the impact when u hit the drums is really very loud.

[nathanyanagiya99]

im gonna get it after summer. i know acousic kits sond better but this ones cheap and it wont bother my mom or neighbours

[grice1996]

i'm getting dd506 08 model

[marjez0]

is it worth buying? just looking for a good and not expensive kit... what do you say ?

[benedik1994]

I just order FAME dd502 ... I gave 340€ i am expacting them this week

[kokosmannen95]

should i buy the mps 100 or the mps 300?

[SoloMaster5000]

does it work whit a guitar amplafire???

[naruto04210]

yes

[roidroid]

@SoloMaster5000 depends on quality of the amplifier.

My little guitar amp doesn't work with it, it has no bass response - i can't hear the kick drum at all.

[StephenFiorentini]

i have the dd505

[jota0897]

it's the same MEDELY 502

[dpaga1]

im getting the module for the ion drum rocker

[drummin77]

i have this kit

[Sk8powaaa]

Hey everyone !

Listen, I have a question before buying this drum :

I'm keen on the drums wich can make scratch noises, ans others sounds wich are very cool ...

So, can this drum make that kind of strange sounds ??

[georgecochrane]

that sounds really good - even tHough i have a DTXtreme 3 !!!!

Just wondering do you sell just the Kick pad ??

[HypeRhymz]

that brain looks just like the simmons sd7k brain

[250theband]

the simmons kits are made by the same company i hv heard...

[QDIZZYBEATZ3]

Awsome sounds love the double bass.

im gettin one :)

[fazza4cafc]

im seriously thinking of buying this kit, i currently have a starter kit which is very limited (i am only a beginner i guess, i play for fun mostly!) but i like to listen to my own music as i drum, is it possible to do that through the aux in socket??

[roidroid]

@fazza4cafc yes it has an aux socket so you can plugin your own music to play along with.

[metalmusicmike]

finally, they test an electric kit with double bass

[BaeverN]

This looks absolutely the same as the MILLENIUM MPS-100 drums, or am I wrong? I can say that i'm atleast 99% sure

[danoontje446]

dd502 is a milenium mps 100 lol =p

[danoontje446]

srry it's almost the same

[Vakamonkey]

is there a high hat pedal so can you open the high hat?

[bmhockey1]

yeah

[jennafan14]

how much is it

[jman491101]

Do you need an amp or can you just plug in headphones?

[250theband]

you can plug in headphones... and u could also hook it up to amps n stuff or both :-P

[PeterPF13]

i got a yoki dd908 off ebay real cheap but now i cant get it to work on my pc with ezdrummer. i bought a 40dollar cable usb to midi in and midi out. :( someone please help me out thanks.

[MrBrightside1591]

Does anyone know the difference between the OSP DD-502 drum set and the Technica DD-502 drum set?

Are they the same?

[bmhockey1]

they are the same

[martijntalma]

i just ordered mine from germany for 339€ and i took a double bass pedal with it to for 39€

so now i am just waiting to get it.

and i have no patience to start with :)

[benedik1994]

How long did u wait?... I just got mail today from the compuny that they reviced my registration.... how long should i wait for them? 2,3,4,5 days?

[benedik1994]

OK... they have pakige tracker... :D when i asked then they send me a like to see my pakige comeing .. :D and it gives u a date when will u revice it

[65prettyboy65]

Hey everyone

This is a great sounding kit

It is good with the double kick also

Are there any metal sounding kits on here?

[Sephlolege]

@65prettyboy65 yep :)

[RolandD70]

Hi, sinceely this drum sounds like a dtxpress from yamaha.....maybe i´m wrong, it´s simons???

[iambonker]

Will these dipshits answer any questions? Dont look like it.

[kiekkopojka8]

how much does it cost? :)

[xXSamObrienXx]

I Payed £250 UK Pounds = 450-500 dollars

[kiekkopojka8]

noticed that here it costs a bit over 3000 kr (swe) which is 450-500 dollars, almost the same..

[DRUMMERJ4M13]

hey guys i started with one of these kits and i happily advise this kit if u start drummin it is a great kit, great sounding and perfect for the commited starter drummer.

[Bobsulla]

hubba

[nickdavisracing]

Just gotta say thanks Chris, I didn't know anything about these things being an acoustic player, excellent!!

[Nolanhod]

yes but it would be faint noises just wear headphones and they shouldnt be disturebed unlike an actual one

[drummerboi621]

if u had a roland kit with mesh it makes no noise only when u hit the edge to make different sounds and have a better module and 3 way cymbals....pretty much what i am trying to say is OSP is not very good...go with roland IF YOU CAN if not try yamaha electrics

[iambonker]

Yeah, and the lowest end roland kit starts at 3 times the cost of this medeli kit. This kit is pretty crap compared to roland gear.

[gunstar9]

most likely, you're hitting plastic pads.

[pandablob]

The pads aren't plastic. if you look at the black version you can see that's its a type of foam or something.

[helenalewis]

Would this kit be good for a beginner?

[KCNirvanaKC]

What brand is this set?

[reggiereg1]

did u listen to the intro and look at the title

[KCNirvanaKC]

'DD502' is the model. I need the brand.

[reggiereg1]

cool....my bad

[KCNirvanaKC]

Actually, it's my bad. He tells the brand name at around 30 sec.

[Nolanhod]

DD502 MKII

[KCNirvanaKC]

Yes, thank you.

[CoryCorano]

Does anyone have the MKII version? I wonder if it's better quality.
