Does anyone use these for drumming? How are they? Is the sound quality good enough I'll be able to pick up all the parts of a drum kit to play?

Unfortunately, the ear pads themselves hook under 4 tabs that hold it in place LOOSELY. This means if you turn your head 90 degrees to the noise (say your hi-hats), the sound leaks in quickly and is loud. So, the sound isolation is very poor and you need better to avoid hearing loss. Find another pair.

I would have to ask my son. He is away this weekend, but I can ask him tomorrow night when he gets home. I know that he has used them for years! He plays in a band locally and is actually playing at a festival this weekend.

I would not consider this a real drum set to use in a band. I would get a little better set if you already know how to play

The headphones are great for practicing and jamming along to your favorite tracks or to learn songs for a gig. The frequency response is pretty good and represents a bass sound pretty well. It can sound a lil treble-y but roll back the tone and it sounds pretty good.

hey mate, they are great for mixing. you will not need an extra sub as they hv inbuilt subs. infact the low end sounds fantastic on them.

My drummer really likes it. I've had two drummers play the kit with reckless abandon...they seem to really have fun with it. Go give it a try. Kind of like shoes...try it on. Then make your decision...But worth trying on.... it really is an exquisitely quiet kit....and that is due to the bass pedal config.

They are middle to low quality. They work great, and if you are just using it for fun and to mess around they are perfect. But honestly the quality compared to what you CAN get is very lackuluster, and would suggest some good quality studio pair instead.

I really do think so. The quality is much higher thn I expected for the price! It is a REAL drum set and the sounds are amazing. I - and my grandsons - are very happy with the drums. I think an 11-year-old would like them a lot.

I think they sound fantastic. They might be a little bass heavy for you, though. They clearly are built for genres that emphasize the low end, but it's not overpowering nor does it drown out the higher tones, although the mids ARE quite recessed. But again, the "midrange scoop" is pretty common.

Yes, they are good for any type of use. I have been using them for movies and music and the sound is phenomenal

They're loud and clean, but you'll need a receiver to plug your PC into. I have my PC plugged into a Denon AVR-888 receiver via HDMI that handles both audio & video. I also have the speakers paired with the BIC America F12 sub. I would imagine that you can play your drums with the speaker's, as long as you have a powerful enough receiver. I've owned my speakers for nearly 2 years and have no issues with them. Good luck in finding the one that best works for you.

I can't really help you because I gave the drums to my grandson. I can say they are pretty nice for a small child. His first set did not last as long as these have.

I would think so. I got this for my 4 yer old because he loves to drum but he has destroyed all the drums make for kids. 'Y husband also likes to play this. This is definitely much better quality, and the various sound choices are great. We would like to get a real drum set, but since we live in an apartment, this is the next best thing.

Funny you ask, I'm a drummer as well. You absolutely need an external amp. These are large tower speakers & I have mine paired with a Hsu STF2 subwoofer. The bass is excellent & they sound great for TV & movies (especially Blu-ray). Unfortunately I find these speakers a little power hungry for music. I have these paired with a Pioneer 1019AH-K receiver & Panasonic Blu-ray player all bought together in 2009. These have all been relegated to the mancave with my drums ironically. For music the Bic's do not compare to my new system which consists of a much more expensive Marantz receiver paired with NHT tower speakers that blow the Bic's away in every aspect especially music! But that's an unfair comparison. I'm mostly a metal drummer & I play along to music using these speakers at very high volumes. A subwoofer is not necessary for these speakers with music (as I believe you should only listen to music in two channel stereo) but they just don't sound as crisp & clean as the NHT's at high volumes (or any volume for that matter). I also prefer to NEVER listen to music through a computer, but I understand the convenience, so I can't help ya there. Bottom line - They're plenty loud to play drums along to with a decent receiver with your computer connected. They're great speakers for the price.

sorry for the late response, but these headphones are alright for rock and roll. I find that you do have to crank up the volume more than with other headphones but the sound quality is pretty clear. 6.5/10 for sound quality. this is without using the bass booster though, I'd give it a 3/10 with the bass booster on

Sorry, I'm not a gamer. The sound is excellent with all sorts of music, including very loud and very full such as a large orchestras playing very loudly with crashing percussion, so my best guess would be they would be good for gaming too. They don't have a separate bass which some other sets have, so (again I'm guessing) if you're looking for really loud thumps and things like that, a set with a separate bass may better achieve it. Hopefully a gamer will chime in.

They are really good. The bass isn't naturally amplified, if you mess with the EQ, it responds to that really well. Not too rattly or anything. (from my son who got the headphones for a gift and knows way more about this stuff than I do.)
