While the phones and output are self-explanatory, those not familiar with 'mix-in' will be pleased to know that they can connect any audio source (such as an iPod or CD player) and jam along to their favourite tracks with the sound of the kit and the audio 'mixed' and audible through either the headphones or via the stereo output. To the rear of the spherical melon-sized module there are just six sockets: the multi-trigger input of the DB-25 connector, 9-volt power adaptor, phones, output, mix-in and USB. This not only adds additional strength to the comparatively small, non-standard diameter tubing, but it also provides a means to discretely hide the cables, making the kit much tidier and safer, too. However, there's a unique rack profile that's shaped a bit like a letter 'C'. One of the downsides of many electronic kits is the sheer number of interconnecting cables between each of the pads and the drum module. This provides the user with a far more realistic playing experience with the ability to use some of the usual snare playing techniques such as rim shots and cross-sticking. The snare sports a shiny 8' ebony head, triple-flange chrome steel hoop (along with four tension bolts) and, quite surprisingly, this pad is dual-zoned to give extra triggering capabilities - a rarity at this price point. The individual tom pads have a traditional e-kit rubberised surface and each has a single piezo transducer (making them 'single-zoned' pads). Daringly different, this kit successfully breaks away from the traditional 'any colour you like, as long as its black!' Scheme with magenta rack feet and cymbal pads in tasteful contrast to the bare-naked aluminium drum stands. Build This is a fairly compact 5-piece electronic kit comprising three triangular shaped pads for the cymbals (designated as ride, crash and hi-hat), three tom pads, kick pad, pedal for hi-hat controller, single chain drive bass drum pedal (with reversible beater), set of sticks, the all-essential wiring loom and, of course, the DD501 drum module itself. Fortunately, this set has a USB port, expanding your connectivity options and ensuring longevity. This may seem a relatively short space of time, but in the area of electronics and music, many instruments have aged prematurely as new models have superseded them.
