Does it have actual drum acoustics or does it bang with a dull, toy thud? I'm afraid to get it and then go crazy with the noise.

The drums have decent tone. However, the symbol leaves a little something to be desired. An easy cheap fix if it bothers you that much. Hope this helps, my son absolutely loves his drums! I did eventually go buy another six inch cymbal though.

Well they are drums so expect noise but fir the price I thought they sounded good as far as drum noise goes.

It sounds like a real drum to me, but I am not an expert. It doesn't sound like a toy and is good quality, in my opinion. It is pretty noisy though, like any drumset would be, handing it over to a kid. :-) I am nervous ordering things online because often they are not what they seem, but I was definitely happy with this purchase.

Well it's mainly tuned for a bass guitar, although having plugged in an electric guitar it still sounds pretty good. A bass drum may cause it to rattle or destroy the speaker possibly, but I've played some pretty dub stuff (low frequencies) on mine with no ill effects. I'd say try it, but you might be better off with a dedicated keyboard amp.

No, it is not very good. I don't use it. Only used it one time, it was not very good at keeping noise out. I am planning on giving it to a kid to play with.

What kind of noise? The one I have it is perfect for my daughter she love it. She is enjoying playing with all the accessories and listening the melody.

It really depends on several things. There are decibels clean and then after it starts to break up. Also depends on what instrument you are using, pickups, etc. This is a practice amp, and can be used for very small gigs. It won't really play over an acoustic drum set.

no electric drum set sound realistic... this one's sound module is not good, but the pads feel nice, especially the snare and the base drum. Anyway its price explains everything.

HelloSorry late response, it won't give the same sound. It's a real nice drum. Hope it helps

It sound just like a normal Spanish guitar,probably not quite as loud but enough to gig with. The sound is bright like a flamenco guitar. The shallow body does not reduce the sound that much.

No. It's a very cheap unit. I wish I got a little higher quality one but it does do the trick for a portable and quiet drum practice but don't expect much

I'm not sure in what context your question is being asked. As it is an electronic drum set, if you are using headphones you get all the noise. The only sound heard in the room will be the sticks striking the rubber like drum heads. If you run it to an amp you can be as loud as the amp wattage will produce.

I didn't try it out at Babies R Us since it was ordered online. How should it normally sound? Rather loud or quiet?

the drum head is a synthetic material, i like it better than real leather because in a sweat lodge the real leather gets so floppy that it sounds bad. this synthetic drum stays tight no matter how humid it gets. this particular drum has two synthetic heads glued on so it will play a deeper bass boom. i like the sound of this over the regular buffalo drums and i do not notice the beater sound over the drum itself. have you tried the regular buffalo drums, you may like those better.

LoveJoyPeace, good sound is subjective. This dark drum resonates with me, played with mallets or fingers. It is a dark sound. If you're looking for a traditional frame drum sound, you may want a white drum.

It's actually funny...I don't really know. I never did figure it out. When my son turned 4 months am started banging the toy he changed the tune. I tried banging it myself, nothing but the same music came on. I hand the toy back and he bangs it and the music changed. I'd ask him but he doesn't talk yet...Sorry I'm no help. My sons keeping it a secret. He's 1 now, hopefully someone else can help.

It is quite loud actually. It terrified our toddler and he would run and cry. We ended up sending it back

I use the dw3000 double bass pedal on it . works ok. make sure you have a good amp for this you want good sound don't have a weak amp. the bass pedal to be honest I am still struggling to dial it in for my feel.I also have played with the sensitivity and threshold to dial in the action for not having ghost hits the set I love and probably the weakest link is the hit hat pedal but playing with the settings can get it almost feeling real on the open and close. overall for the money and to take up drumming I love it.

Yes and no. It does not come with an amp so it is quiet when you play it but it does not sound like a drum. I hooked up my guitar amp and it is as loud as you turn the amp. The good news is you can hook up headphones and the player is the only one that hears it. My son loves it and when he is using the headphones it does not disturb anyone else.
