The only video without an "Aeroband" link in the description. Thanks a lot!
I’m not going to promote something that doesn’t work.
I’m so disappointed in all of these TH-cam channels
@@KeithronPowell and a 1000 thanks for that bro ❤.
I'll follow your review nos, not "some more followed drummer", errrh, I buy that crap because of him beeing legit métal and funny Guy.
But no way his vidéo promo IS Real. Same for the cute russian drummer... Money corrupt people..
Honestly, with you playing the live demo that's the best thing you could have done or anyone could have done on a review man i really appreciate it!
You’re welcome
right - he was after the ride and "got tom". I'll pass - love youtube before I buy.
This is one of the best reviews of anything I’ve seen in a while.
Thanks
Brother you just saved me $200... THANK YOU! I was gonna order this tonight, but first needed to check videos to see if anyone is using it with Logic ProX. The least I can do is subscribe to your channel, for such an honest review.
Thanks
@@KeithronPowellI sadly didnt watch your vidéo, now I have one aeroband pro for christmas and I CANT PLAY !! 😂
I Hope it's because of bad bluetooth, and not bad product...
Thanks for your honnest review ❤...
New sub anyway 🙏thanks
@@eamylord it’s the product…
Yes, this product is dog shit, Im disapointed too
@@luabelik3161 😂😂😂😂😂
Seemed like a sketchy product when I viewed the polished promos and you've confirmed that for me. Thanks for the honest review!
You’re welcome
Thank you for your balanced and open minded summary of the good points and bad points. Very, very appreciated. Respect!
You’re welcome. It wasn’t easy to pick good points because I really hated them after trying two sets and recording the video 9 times. The first one was a full on rant! I couldn’t release it.
Not often you come across honest product reviews. Seems most people just are willing to promote everything earning a small commission. It was a very informative review. Well done.
Thanks
This review is spot on. A little side note..... When I went to return my pocket drums there were multiple emails asking why and they wanted a video proving it sucked. Than they said it would be in my best interest to keep the drums because it would be a very long and costly process for me and that they would refund 50% of the cost. I took the discount and threw the box in a drawer in my shop. I finally gave it to a friend of mine and his son is driving mom insane with it. So it's not completely worthless.
😂
Yeah, thank you for the info about your experience with the return process! Any company that pulls this kind of BS is shady af.
I bought this as a couple of other influencers were heavily promoting it, along with money off codes. It LOOKS great, and honestly the concept behind it is sound.....but the implementation is horrendous. I tried for a couple of hours to get it to work like all these other guys were using it - impossible. My wife tried it for 5/10 minutes (she's not a drummer) and she was basically unable to get it to do the same thing every hit, the detection is so off even after immediate calibration.
I requested a refund and although they never refused at any point they were offering me all sorts of solutions to get me to not return it. I eventually got them to give me the return details and I now have my money back. Really disappointing, and i'm glad you showed how the product REALLY works - not at all.
Yeah, I’m super disappointed in a lot of the influencers that I thought highly of promoting this as good just for the money. Like I said they sent me two because I thought the first one was defective. It just doesn’t work. It’s a shame too because I really wanted it to work for laying quick drums on my tracks before going back and playing for real.
May I Ask what the return détails are ? I'm sick of trying to play SLOW and EASY and not succeed ... To play more than 10 seconds ....
Fúck them lol
@@eamylord so funny thing - they (eventually) gave me an address in Germany to ship it back to, paid the shipping fee at the post office (about £16ish) and forgot about it. About 2 months later I got a parcel and it turns out the address they gave didn't work as it got returned back to me lmao. So I have my money back and the product 🤦♂️
@@SatNav37WTF is this shady compagny 😂
Thank you for being honest. This video made me check out your other vids. Keep up the good work!
You’re welcome and thanks
Thank you for your honesty and integrity.
👍🏽 thanks for watching
Damn I was wanting this for Valentines Day! Back to square one. Thank you for this review.🙏
Just buy a drum that’s the same price or just a lil more
Thank you for this solid product review!
👍🏽
You just saved my money and time both
Most importantly the frustration a person goes through after buying such products and at the end thinking i am not capable to use it
😂😂😂 you’re welcome
Lol at the ending...very well done passive-aggressively, yet diplomatically saying "hell nah stay tf away!!!" 😂😂
Thx for saving me the hassle bossman.
👍🏽😂😂😂
Man, I wanted so bad for this to be as good as they claimed. It's an amazing concept that I hope some day gets realized properly. Glad I found your review though! Thanks for the honest thoughts!
Thank you so much for your honest review! I saw some other reviews and I was like "WOW, this looks just too good to be true!". I've got a pair of hyperdrum sticks and I have the exact same problems you have with the pocket drums. It's still fun, but it's not what some people tell you to expect from it. You have to recalibrate a lot, drumsounds may randomly appear, higher speeds are incredibly inaccurate sometimes - so it's fine to have fun, but not really helpful to practice the drums as an intermediate drummer.
Exactly! Great as a toy… I’m a bit shocked at the serious drummers that make this seem like a serious product. I haven’t tried HyperDrum - yet.
The sound quality on your video is the best I've heard.
Thanks for the review.
All positive to you.
Much appreciated!
thank you for this review! was going to buy it for my son for christmas but this told everything i needed to know
You’re welcome
Great review, thanks. I was really wanting something like this to work too.
👍🏽
Thank you the honest review. Was gonna get it for my birthday. Saved me a lot of cash
Man, just get this guitar-center.pxf.io/q43xzY
Thanks for this honest review, I was going to order for it. Thanks again.
You’re welcome
Thank you for the review! There are so many misleading reviews and i really appreciate you doing a live demo. I thought it would be a good gift for my drummer but I don’t think it will work for his metal drumming skills. Thanks again!
You’re welcome
Thank you for an honest review! Very appreciated!
You’re welcome
Clear as water, I thought it would be like this but your video has now confirmed it. Thanks a lot!
👍🏽
I was going to see some more videos about this product cause I really liked it (on videos) so I did have plans to buy it... but not anymore! tnx for finally doing a honest review Keithron! -Really apriciated it! 🙂with kind regards from Arnt Petter in Norway! 🎸
Thanks
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO - I wanted to get his for my husband, he sold his drum kit & I wanted him to have something to have fun with & still somewhat play the drums but that recalibrating issue I just know my dude will get so frustrated with it lol it would achieve the opposite of a chill nice relaxing activity for him, again, THANK YOU.
Yeah… don’t frustrate him with this. It’s just not a good product. In another video I declared it as the worst product I’ve reviewed all year. I also do Amazon reviews and this is still the worst!
I was going to buy this. Saw a different post and how cool it looked. Guess I'll continue to not have drums in my Apartment 😢 Really appreciate your video! Saved me Money!
Thanks for your honesty.
👍🏽
Thank you for the best ending to a great review ever!
😂😂😂
Wow. I was really thinking about buying this product. Thanks for saving me some money.
You’re welcome. Just get an entry level drum kit
Thank you so much for your honest review, not like others just say really good, fantastic.. something like that. This is really a product review we want, tell us which is good and which is bad.
It’s mostly bad!😂
I have the exact same issue, wish I saw this video before I bought it. Contacted the company and they were reluctant to give me a refund saying that I would incur the cost of return which is expensive and time consuming. They offered a resolution of 35% refund. The whole experience was frustrating and regretful. This idea is great and hopefully one day Aeroband Pocketdrum plus 2 would actually work the way it's advertised.😢
My dilemma is I really wanted this to work as advertised. That was the whole reason I didn’t release the video for 5 months.
@KeithronPowell I guess, if a product is advertised as seems in the ads, then have to be as it. If that's not, then the company has to be fined for misleading and have to improve the product performance.
Keithron got a new hit single comin' out, Recalibration! lol. thanks for the review man!
😂😂👍🏽
Thank you, you saved me $200! It was practically in my Amazon cart before I saw this.
The good news is you can return it. I was disappointed in it because I wanted it to be awesome. I had ideas for it. I wanted to use it to lay some quick drums in the studio… but nah… it’s a cool toy for parties.
@@KeithronPowell I didn't buy it. You talked me out of it with the part about beginners learning bad habits. I'm just looking for an affordable hobbyist starter setup that won't annoy my wife and kids. I really appreciated your review and your ethics in trying to be fair. I could see how badly you wanted it to work and how hard you tried to come up with a use case in its current state. Maybe it will be something useful in version 3 or a firmware update.
@@bradjasperson134 yeah…. Maybe
Thank you for showing your honest experience, I had to click off a few videos after they offered discount codes to look for something legit
I was contacted recently by them as a sponsorship if I promote this but I’m going to have to say no. I can’t lie to any of my followers. That live demo was undeniable
Imma glad you liked it and.. glad you didn’t sell out
Great review, thanks!
You’re welcome
Hahaha... Honest review, that's what we needed. Thanks, bro!!!
You’re welcome
I really appreciate your honest review. The point about Bluetooth latency makes a lot of sense, something I hadn't thought about. I was just about to buy one for my husband but decided to check the 'Tube to see what real folks have to say about it. I'm VERY grateful for your video - you saved me $200. Another reminder to always use logical thinking and reasoning when presented with something that appears too good to be true.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the honest review. i had just seen this product yesterday and it looked so cool so I had to check out if anyone did a review on it because I wanted to see if any pros and cons. It looks so fun but disappointed that it isn't all it's cracked up to be. Guess I won't be getting it
Glad it was helpful!
thank you sir. I was about to order and I had these same fears.
👍🏽
I always had this grippe for music you want something fast like wifi, microwave or something efective also relying on angles and 0 visual queues it is hard, keep the good work KP
👍🏽
Great review . I was considering buying it but I wait for version 3 maybe . Still looks good if they fix the bugs :)
Version 3 or 10 will be awesome
Thank you! Really honest review. I have same problems... And this product imposible for playing without frustration)
The should rename it The Frustrationband 2
I seriously need to look at review videos BEFORE I spend 200 dollars... Literally everything you mentioned is what I'm going through. I had to leave a 1 star review to start balancing those numbers out. I just need a regular set at this point.
Yep… for a few more dollars you can get a small set
oh my dear lord that ending with the slow pan-in.... amazing. 😆
😂
Thanks, great honest review!
You’re welcome
Nice work man. Every other video by more popular channels are skewed since they offer 10% off the product.
They offered it to me… back in March… I would’ve had one of the first videos on the product… I couldn’t drop my video because it was too harsh (wife said). I recorded 9 times… I’m not putting my name on this product.
Was literally inches away from making a purchase... Phewks 😅. Thank you for the honest review
Glad I could save you time, money and regret.
Big respect. Nothing grinds my gears like youtubers lying about this product, youre decent! @KeithronPowell
Good video! This is an idea we WANT to work, but it doesn’t deliver. Maybe V2 or V3 will improve, but it’s tough to play a beat without the tactile feedback of hitting an object - no bounce - no feed back - not like drums at all. I’ll stick with finger drumming on a Launchpad 😊
Hahaha
I just received mine and love it
You got lucky
Good review mate. Greetings from Scotland
Thanks 🙋🏽♂️
Was searching for this typa review because i was sceptical asf when i saw every video was like it works well and was flawless and shix.. lol Thanks, Love from India 💜
Yeah, when I first got it there weren’t any videos out… after waiting 5 months to release my video I started seeing all the lies and had to release it.
okay, so, i saw this video after I ordered this was really worried. There is a learning curve. I have had this for about 3 weeks now and I am getting the feel for it. This is not a replacement for a drum set, but I have found it helpful in my own practicing when I can't get to a drum set, but need to work on learning a song. I was just playing/practicing with the aeroband pocket drum now and closing my eyes really helped me with the position of the drums. If you bought the product give yourself some time. I am finding that as my skills using this increase I am enjoying it more and more. This is definitely a different type of drumming. And being able to hook my iPhone and headphones to this a play along to youtube music is very convenient for me.
👍🏽
hilarious review. Big like!
😂 thanks… I cut this video down from 20 minutes to 10 minutes. I had to be nice.
Thanks for this. Thought it might be handy as a birthday present for my brother but it looks like it won’t end up being that useful. I’m thinking I’ll get a cymbal or something else he can use for his actual set instead.
Good idea!
Nice review mate thanks 👍🏻
You’re welcome
Truly done review..!!! It’s for recreation and fun and not any other purpose and a great thing for that purpose.
Yep… that’s what they should say. It’s a toy. But so many people are reviewing this as if it’s so awesome for so many people. I’m so disappointed in them
😮 THANK YOU . I WILL KEEP TO MY DRUM KIT 😮
👍🏽
Thanks for an unpayed and honest review
Even when I’m paid… my reviews are honest.
Wow you didn't get that for free then lol. Awesome review. I almost spent money on that crap but was dubious that the site was even real lol. Thanks for that honest and great review.
Thanks for watching.
Do you think this is good for someone like myself who only wants it as an aid to programme midi clips in productions? I don’t play drums, and I hate drawing in midi notes and I’m not too fond of keyboards.
Thank you! I'm looking for something to accompany my bass guitar and vocals. It needs to be super pro but the pocketdrum doesnt look like what I need.
It’s definitely not
Thank you! I was thinking about buying this for my brother, but I'll wait until someone gets the technology down!

@@KeithronPowell He has a full drum kit. My parents actually used to own a music store. But I thought the sticks would be good for low-key playing along with his daughter when she plays the guitar.
@@KeithronPowellBut thank you for the recommendation! I appreciate it.
Great, real review.
Thanks
Hi Keithron, Thank you for this very informative video my friend. I only wish I saw this before I purchased them. I've had them for 5 days now and I probably will return them. I got
more frustration out of them than enjoyment. I can't even get the stupid app to connect to the sticks and I've tried everything. I've watched all the videos on how to connect them to the app etc .
I can hear and play the drums without the app but they are also frustrating as you have to keep calibrating them. I think they could be a good product, but they need to improve them a bit more, especially the app. Thanks again and all the best..... John C.
Yep! Exactly! The app just sucks! Return them bro!
@@KeithronPowell Thanks again, Keith Ron. All the very best...John
Whats funny is that my app doesnt even open, i connect the drums and then it says made by unity and a gray screen, i had to download the app like 3 times in order for it to work
Yeah, the app sucks and needs a major overhaul. I returned mine. Just using the Pyle PTED07 tabletop drums for now. Check out a recent video I did using them. It's a cover of a song called "96 Tears". Thanks and have a Happy Thanksgiving. All the best...John@@steven317
Aloha and mahalo plenty for this review-it confirmed my hunch these could contribute to forming some bad habits. I’ll continue to save for an electronic kit. Happy Hawaiian Hugz!🧡 🌋 💛 🤙🏽 ❤️ 🌺 💜
Yep and glad it helped
Thanks for this great honest review. Sadly you’ve saved me $200. I really wan to learn how to drum but I need something like this with the space I have
For about $100 more you can get an electric drum set. Thats the best way to learn. Not with those sticks.
You’re welcome
Ok ...I was stoked on this as I could get in some quick recording or practice...I live in a apartment and can't be on the kit when ever I want...big mistake ..as said it won't stay programed...thought it was me then saw this vidio..thanks.. saved me a bunch of time...I would not recommend this as drumms but a novelty that ..kina works....
Exactly!!!
thank you for an honset review
👍🏽
Brother I already ordered it because I don't have any room in my apartment, I thought it would be cool for begginer to have some reflexes before sitting down at real drums 😭😭😭 You could have saved me 250 dollars If only I had come across your video earlier, damn. Anyway thank you man
Send it back… you can get a small Simmons Titan 20 or Alesis set for that same amount in many cases.
Hi! Thanks for your review. I am thinking of getting these for my 11yo who drums on a set . A lot. lol he happens to be getting pretty good. Are these a good investment? Is there another brand you recommend? Or should be keep going on the big drums? I was getting this for Christmas.
I say get them. Good price and room to grow.
Thank you! I was sent this to review and make a video and I’m struggling to find the good in it.
There ain’t none
dangit, it looks so fun too!
I know but….
Hi Bro, how to connect it to garageband on ipad via midi bluetooth, my pedals shown connected successfully but do not work, had no sounds, the drumsticks work well in GB?
The same issue when I connect via bluetooth software (midi bluetooth), the sticks sound great, but the pedals have not.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thank you so much.
🤦🏽♂️ did you watch the video?😂 the product doesn’t work.
The ONE honest review 😮
😂 thanks
Thanks, good information to know. Thought about this. But now i'll just go to the good old reliable Roland V-Drums.
So true. I bought one and found it was a waste of money. I tried multiple times to get a hold of them for a return. They finally got back to me after the cutoff date for returns. They wanted me to make a video of me playing to make sure I’m doing it right. Also told me I would have to pay the shipping to get it back to them. So now I’m using it to show people how bad it is so they don’t waste their money.
Yes! Thats a good way to do it.
thanks for the review. can anyone suggest a better brand for this kind of product?
👍🏽
Would you recommend a drum table top instead to learn on if don't have space for a real kit?
I’d recommend a drum pad to learn rudiments.
I had a completely different experience. It works well, and I can play full songs, like 6 minutes, without having to calibrate. It took me a while to get used to it, and I’m not a drummer-I wasn’t used to real drums before this. My friend, who is a drummer, couldn’t get used to it. Maybe for those who are used to real drums, it’s harde
So they make a product that actual drummers can’t use because we know what a real drum should play like? That only proves the product is useless. It will never teach someone to play. We have what’s called muscle memory if the product can’t function properly it’s not “harder” for us… it’s a defective product.
Appreciate you man.
👍🏽
I would like to know can you link this to your laptop or another screen that you can see what you're hitting from a distance
Nope
I have the same problems with that product. It loose calibration after a minute. The manufacturer said I need to recalibrate every time.... but it doesnt hold the calibration at all... Im very very disapointed
Yep… I have 2 of them and it’s ridiculous!
I wish i had seen your video before the purchase! I got this for my boyfriend which is learning the drums and i found this a good idea to make sure we wouldn’t disturb the neighbours. Problem: he’s left handed. The description of the product said it would work for both handlers. I was hoping we can still make it work for left hand, since we weren’t really able to test the product due to the fact that we have no idea how to put it for his left hand. Do you perhaps know how to do that? Just so we can at least try it…
Send it back! The product is not going to teach him to play and likely won’t work properly and will frustrate him. You can get an entry level e-drum that won’t bother the neighbors and he’ll be better off.
I wondered the same thing and thought that you maybe swap the sticks to the other hand and swap the bass pedal with the hi- hat pedal and if it would electronically correct the problem, would that work? Plus how does the bounce work with no surface contact for rudimentary rolls?
@@rolandparent4360 nope switching won’t work. No surface no bounce.
The app does need some improvements but it does ROCK. The sticks are a little heavier than Normal Drumsticks so they feel pretty close.
Yeah… that app needs more than improvements.
I was thinking getting this to practice, I used to have an acoustic set and I recently started playing for my worship group. I can go practice on the set at the church but I kinda wanted a way to practice at home. Oh well lol
You can get a cheap electric set for a few dollars more
@@KeithronPowell that may be what I end up doing. Roland, or like an alesis?
🤔 ….. Simmons
@@KeithronPowell didn’t know of that brand but I like it looks good in reviews, thanks man
How does it (not) work though?
😑
After watching many videos, and reviews, I finally ended up at your review and SADLY I lost my courage to purchase the product. :(
I hate to say it but that’s a good thing. I wanted this product to work as advertised but it’s not even close.
Could it be a wifi or Bluetooth issue on your end? I saw a few other videos and the guys seemed to be rocking out pretty well . ( minus no stick flips) . I want this product to be amazing i would buy in a heart beat . Thanks for the warning buddy
I was sent 2 units… so..
i dont know about this particular product but there are better ones right? i just saw a band played with one of these sticks and it was perfect had none of the issues and the video is for six years ago you can check it out I'll keep coming by low roar there is a live performance
I’d love to see that video because I can’t use these for nothing. I was gonna do a giveaway with them… I can’t.
I’m skeptical 🤨
I got my app to work after several weeks but I'm not a gamer so that wouldn't into that so much but mine did the same thing and then one day all said not to go in I don't know what the deal was there but I fix the sticks but the kick drum I've wore out one in my other one started messing up today so I'm going through Kik drums like crazy that pedal they got in good enough
That app sucks… if it takes weeks.
Yup just as I expected… even after watching aaaallll these other videos I knew it was fishy.. thank you. You saved a lot of people money 😂😂
I hope so. Aeroband wont talk to me now.
I was considering buy but after your review, for a toy-have fun, yes.
Learning to play drums; Recording, No way!
Yep
Can you make an honest review about portable drum pads?
I don’t use them… but if I come across the opportunity then I will.
what do you think about the other types?, aerodrums and freedrums?
I was sent another brand… still haven’t even tried it. Most, if not all, are made in the same place and just the outsides are different. Else they’d have patent issues on such new tech. Someone just licensed it and they’re getting paid!!!!!!
@@KeithronPowell yes, freedrum and aeroband seem very similar. aerodrums seems very different to me, it uses a camera and reflectors on the sticks and feet.
"Most of all is... Buy it... You shouldnt buy it" XD brutal but refreshingly honest. Thanks for not chasing the easy money bud! Saved me 200 bucks! Thanks!!
👍🏽😂 yeah… I was being nice in this video. I recorded it 9 times. My wife wouldn’t let me release the other 8. I went off!!!!! I was ticked because I started seeing so many people chasing the dollar.
I can’t seem to get any sound at all..??
Try and get it swapped or better yet a refund
I know this is real picky but I'm hoping it may help. You were saying that to calibrate, hold the sticks at a 45 degree angle but I noticed you were holding them at a 90 degree angle. Maybe this is part of the issue? I don't own a set so I can't verify it myself. Either way, thank you for the thorough review.
Nah… that ain’t it. lol I used their “help” video to calibrate it. It just sucks
Bummer. Like you, I was very hopeful for this product. I guess the math-nerd in me was hoping I found a fix.@@KeithronPowell
