Yamaha DTX402k
amzn.to/2MZAgV8
Alesis Surge Mesh
amzn.to/2Pe8xxs
Roland TD1K
amzn.to/2MYUUED
Lets kick off the list with the newest kit on the block, the Yamaha DTX402k. This is a direct replacement to the DTX400k, yes I know it’s a confusing name because it’s so similar, but that’s Yamaha for you. This kit sits on a four post drum rack, it has 415 sounds inside covering 10 drum kits that you can customize. The module has no screen at all. You can download an iphone app that’s very good that lets customize everything. Unfortunately Yamaha decided it's still 2003, they stuck with all 8" rubber drum pads. Plus they decided to have a controller pedal instead of a kick drum tower. Yamaha created this drumset to make you want to buy the $600 option: the 432k version that actually does have the kick tower.
Alesis Surge: amzn.to/2Pe8xxs
Switching over to Alesis, this is the all new Surge drumset. This comes with 8” tom pads and a 10” snare. All are dual zone. These are all mesh pads, including the kick drum, and it all sits on a 4 post chrome drumrack. The cymbals are single zone 10” pads. The module is pretty much the same one that you’ll find on the Nitro. Port selection is second to none, you can even add 2 more pads. Unfortunately the sound quality is really really bad, that's the one glaring compromise of this drumset. Of all the kits on the list, this drumset is absolutely the most fun to play.
Roland TD1k: amzn.to/2MYUUED
This drumset is on a very unique one post drumrack that reminds me of a keyboard stand from the 80s. You can move all the drums up and down to make the drumset playable for any age range. Roland doesn’t want you to know the actual drum sizes, you have to look up each part individually. I found that the cymbals are 9.5” The drums are “custom gum rubber pads” I gave up trying to find part number on them. The module is very limited. It has a USB midi part, headphone jack and AUX jack. So you can’t even record yourself and use headphones at the same time, unless you have a mini mixer handy or use drum software. This does support a mesh snare if you upgrade, and there is an extra cable for another cymbal as well. Despite it’s limitations, this drumset is still fun to play. The gum rubber pads feel very nice. The sounds good for it’s price range, and the build quality is solid. But I wouldn’t buy it myself because it just has too many limitations. It doesn’t even have a $600 version that comes with a kick pad, so you’re stuck with the controller pedal, no master out on the module, and the fact that the whole drumset just kind looks odd makes me gravitate toward the Yamaha kit, or the Alesis drumset.
Between these three $500 options: buy the Surge if you want a big impressive drumset or buy the Yamaha set if you want good sounds.
