Thank you and yes, you hit it on the head. I've been doing the research for some time and it came down to the Nitro Mesh and the Simmons Titan 50. Quite frankly, I got tired of trying to decide but then I ran across your video and it confirmed what I was feeling all the time. The T-50. I like your enthusiasm and honesty. You are informative in the right way and just plain fun to listen to. Oh, I don't believe you don't know how to play the drums.
Thank you so much!!! im glad I was able to help! I just love playing on this kit! in fact I finally broke down and bought the expansion kit for the extra crash and tom, I can't wait til it gets here!
Just scored a lay a way dropout at a pawnshop for $98. Blows away the nitro and Roland td3 td6v and I even like the tones better than the td25 I had. These tones on Roland triggers would be perfect. I got mine sounding like Vinney Paul's live kit.
@@adamjuckniewitz727 the sounds are so good for the price too and I couldn't believe I liked it better than the td25 I had..they had a sd1250 but wanted four hundred but that would of been with that also. I didn't need it so I didn't get it tho
Tomorrow, I am auditioning with these 2 guys. Rock music. They have this kit and I had never seen it before. I really, really enjoyed your video and how you liked some of the sounds. Dude, it was hilarious. Keep it up.
Love this review! I have been searching for days now on what to buy, say no more, I am not getting those other cheap kits, simmons titan 70 it is! That’s the one I have been eyeing!
@@EpicDguy rare breed ? Really ? Lol I already play some guitar and keys but have always been fascinated by drums. I suggest you pair it with Ez drummer 3.
That's true, but his major complaint or reasoning behind simmons being better is build quality, which isn't something that changes much between the mesh and the max. Biggest difference is 10" snare and bluetooth.
Love your videos. I could never afford one of those drum sets. But if I won one, I would practice twice a day everyday! That would be living the dream. Congrats to the winner! Pick me and which ever drum set you choose will go to a good home!
What amp do you recommend with this set? I listened through headphones and it sounds like crap. I can't hear the high hat or bass drum. It has horrible sound response.
There is no way you are not a drummer and youcan play that kick drum like thiat.. I have the Titan 50 too. how do you play doubles on your kick. it is so hard ! for me
Go back and get a refund on that warranty. It comes with a 2 year warranty. Unless they add it on after the factory warranty expires, then you were ripped off........
If you are a drummer or want to learn drums then avoid entry-level low-budget kits. Some lower-end e-kits are better than others but the better ones are just better toys of a drum kit. In order to really learn how to play a drumset you need an accustic kit or a high-end e-kit. The low-budget e-kits do not have the feel, expressiveness, or sound of a "real" drum kit. You can learn the very basics and rudiments on a budget friendly e-kit but then if you go to play an accustic kit or a high-end e-kit as they are so vastly different and better it is kind of like learning to play drums all over again. High-end e-kits can be quite expensive but they are totally worth saving up for. If you first want to learn guitar do buy a toy guitar? Then why would you buy an e-kit that is only a toy of a drum set? A high-end e-kit will teach you the correct way to play and teach you dynamics. A budget friendly e-kit usually does not have good dynamics if any. Also low-budget e-kits usually only have 1 zone except mabe the snare and ride might have 2 zones. A high-end e-kit will have great dynamics. 3 zone cymbals, 3 zone snare, and 2 zone toms. The other problem with budget friendly e-kits is they are not made as durable to keep cost down. The racks on budget friendly e-kits are usually small, flimsy, and geared more for kids and a full size adult can not raise things up enough to play comfortably. A high-end e-kit will be bigger with a much better rack or stands for adult size players. Alo high-end e-kits are 99.9% like Playing an accustic kit and budget friendly e-kits, even the "better" ones is like 20% of how an accustic or high-end e-kit plays. In my opinion the good e-kit companies only make high-end e-kits as they know as a drummer or someone serious about learning drums shouldn't waste their time on a lower-end low-budget e-kit. In the case of lests say Roland they been out a long time and were the forefront of high-end e-kits and every kit they came out with just got better. Since then other companies have jumped into the game and skipped the lower-end kits and only came out with high-end e-kits. In the case of Simmons and Alesis they started with wanting to give drummers a budget friendly e-kit alternative. What they quickly learned is drummers or ones learning drums wanted better more accustic like e-kits. I think Alesis got close with the new Strata Prime kit but I still think you can get a better more "professional" high-end e-kit for less from another company. All the reviews of budgets friendly e-kits are neat to see but if you are a drummer or serious about drumming you will want and need a good high-end e-kit or you will never become a great drummer.
I disagree. Transitioning is just as important for employing finesse and work-arounds. Your rudiments and timing are everything, and even on a less expensive e kit you can still practice dynamics. The tricks are using finesse and not clobbering the pads. On an acoustic kit, you take that muscle memory and adjust. Based on your channel content of drumming, no offense but, you clobber the rubber pads and don't have a strong "on the 1" return when you try a fill. Mesh pads are probably a no-no,..for now.
Let me expand. The set we're discussing here has all dynamic adjustment capability. Maybe a close/tightly arranged rack of toms, requiring more finger control than the arm swinging,.. but still.
I hope you reach 1million subscribers
I appreciate you so much! I will be pinning this comment and I will come back and celebrate with you as soon as I get that Milli!! 😎🤙🏻
This is a great video for such a small channel. You earned a sub.
Can't wait for my kit to arrive tomorrow :D
I bought this kit yesterday and I love it. I payed a little more than 340 for it 🎉 no regrets gonna play it till it gives.
Dude you ARE a drummer.

Excellent review, thanks for pointing out pros and cons of other manufacturers!
Solid review dude! Definitely considering snagging one of these just to have something to practice with when I'm at home.
thank you so much for this review it was between alesis and T50 this vid sealed the deal ty!
Wow, really? Even though the Alesis comes with an additional cymbal?
@@WorthlessDeadEnd Alesis Nitro Max is an 8-piece just like this, same number of cymbals
Great comparison review. Thanks 👍 buying one now.
Just scored a lay a way dropout at a pawnshop for $98.
Blows away the nitro and Roland td3 td6v and I even like the tones better than the td25 I had.
These tones on Roland triggers would be perfect.
I got mine sounding like Vinney Paul's live kit.
Wuuuuttt. Stole it. Just got a simmons 50 with expansion for my kids 13th n feel good about it. But wow
@@adamjuckniewitz727 the sounds are so good for the price too and I couldn't believe I liked it better than the td25 I had..they had a sd1250 but wanted four hundred but that would of been with that also.
I didn't need it so I didn't get it tho
Best review of the Titan 50 series hands down! Thanks 😊
Thank you so much!!
Tomorrow, I am auditioning with these 2 guys. Rock music. They have this kit and I had never seen it before. I really, really enjoyed your video and how you liked some of the sounds. Dude, it was hilarious. Keep it up.
Garrett’s gonna love recording on that kit!
Oh that mesh is gonna make those rolls ripppppppppp 😎
Love this review! I have been searching for days now on what to buy, say no more, I am not getting those other cheap kits, simmons titan 70 it is! That’s the one I have been eyeing!
My first Mesh Head kit! 😍 Where have you been all my life??
Best purchase I’ve made since Baby Jackson!!
My first kit, drum anything for me too. I am learning
That's awesome! the world needs more drummers, they are a rare breed!
@@EpicDguy rare breed ? Really ? Lol I already play some guitar and keys but have always been fascinated by drums. I suggest you pair it with Ez drummer 3.
Great review.
A better comparison would be with the new Alesis Nitro Max.
Yea the Simmons is priced right in-between the Nitro Mesh and Max. I'll have to see if Guitar Center has a Max set up and do a in store comparison lol
That's true, but his major complaint or reasoning behind simmons being better is build quality, which isn't something that changes much between the mesh and the max. Biggest difference is 10" snare and bluetooth.
@@Samuri5hit84 apparently, nitro is better built
Love your videos. I could never afford one of those drum sets. But if I won one, I would practice twice a day everyday! That would be living the dream. Congrats to the winner! Pick me and which ever drum set you choose will go to a good home!
So between the Alesis Max and the Simmons 50 which one would you choose ???

Just bought this kit.
Nice! You're in for a good time!
Not available in Europe and (related) app is Apple only. Strong(er) nitro max alternative.
Just bought a 50 w the expansion. Has a Google play logo on tha box!!!
You might want to fix your heating radiator there too friend
Metalstar needs some double bass
I need a double bass pedal so bad 😭 drumming with a single bass pedal is for LOSERS!! Lmao 😂
That ‘Nails’ goes HARD!
WOAH!!!!!!🤯
Sounds Like Nine Inch Nails
lmao that makes sense now! 😂
You used to be a drummer though 😭😭😭
Drumming is always a lot of fun! But its hard 😭😭😭
What amp do you recommend with this set? I listened through headphones and it sounds like crap. I can't hear the high hat or bass drum. It has horrible sound response.
You either need better headphones or have screwed up the settings in the module
I didn’t change anything. Is there a way to reset to factory settings?
@@christophermuylle6388 u need better headphones
There is no way you are not a drummer and youcan play that kick drum like thiat.. I have the Titan 50 too. how do you play doubles on your kick. it is so hard ! for me
Thank you! but I'm just playing by feel! I have no idea what im doing lol but one day I want to get some good lessons and elevate my drumming!
Go back and get a refund on that warranty. It comes with a 2 year warranty. Unless they add it on after the factory warranty expires, then you were ripped off........

Do u recommend this then? To be a very good drummer?
