Just a tip----I purchased this kit and I really lilke it. Yes, the factory snare stand is short for taller players. I purchased a tall snare stand from Amazon. However, I had to mix and match the two stands, because the base of the taller stand is too large to get in position. So, I kept the factory base and the top half of the tall stand and put them together. No issues and for my use it works well.
Justin, your presentations are the best written, best narrated/illustrated, and best edited drum review videos I've seen on youtube. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and observations with us! It truly helps.
Awesome review! I recently bought this kit. And this is my first electronic drum, I have been playing on acoustic set. Loving this kit, but I haven't explored it much. I like that you can upload kits on the module, and the bass is double pedal friendly.
I am getting ready to buy an e-Drum kit (once and for all) and this time around I want to be sure I invest in the best option available for the price. Your reviews are clearly the most concise, impartial and insightful. NAMM 2025 is just around the corner so pretty sure more new products will be in the pipeline to evaluate. Thank you and keep those great reviews coming!
Might be worth getting one of these for the pads and pair it with something like a td3 module used for running the high hat and cymbals on. The pads and hardware all look pretty nice
This drum set looks to be a good quality build and if your looking for something just to get the job done in this price range it almost sounds like it could be in competition with ATV's honestly I wouldn't mind see Justin give a tutorial on the new Ddrum Nio myself thanks for the honest review Justin love your opinions as always.🤘🤘
Thanks a lot for the review and for comparing it to the 2box speedlight. It is always difficult to find review on the latter or on its copycat the Fame Hybrid Pro. I hope one day you'll have a chance to provide us with your review on these two kits.🙏🤞
I just ordered this kit yesterday and it's supposed to be here today. From what I've heard out of it, it sounds better than any other set I've heard. According to the salesman, you also get a sweet throne with it. Maybe not at the time of this review, but apparently they add a throne now.
Sounds and looks pretty good for the money, hopefully they will offer an acoustic look kit eventually. That's seems to be the direction e drums are going .I like that is had faders , wish my Td 17 had that feature. Thank you for the review, great job as always!
I have their entry level dm 210 kit and i am pretty happy with it, the whole thing is big, solid and sturdy, its for sure more stable then other cheap entry level things. Everything has 2 zones as well as mutes. The module is basic but well rounded, i dont miss anything so far.
Thanks Justin I made a comment about a month or so ago about Reviewing this kit I just got it to Replace the Extremly Boring Alesis Crimson Se. So as an Upgrade I definitely Recomend this Kit if your Trying to break free from the Alesis line up the Drum Set looks and feels great ! I will say I'm not a big fan of all the Ride Cymbal sounds on this Module but everything else is Legit ! So as Someone Who Has this Kit ill give it an 8/10 for the Price Point!
Good to hear your positive opinion. I just ordered this kit and should be here today. The reason I bought this kit is, in my honest opinion, it sounded more like an acoustic kit. To me, it really had that classic 70s, deep Bonham sound to it. Maybe it was just because the dude doing the demo just knows what he's doing, but when I heard him play it, I was sold!
Curious about that hi hat - seeing as on the module UI it shows the exact state/velocity, does it output this in midi or is that also forcibly segmented into just 3 sections? If you just run vst sounds and you get the true 0-127 value out of it that would make it much more viable...
Just wanted to mention what I think was a little mix up in the comparable kits section near the end of the video. You mention the Roland TD-07 KVX's single crash cymbal and the cost of upgrading to a second crash. Just wanted to note that the 07-KVX kit comes with Roland's CY-13R three-zone ride cymbal but because the TD-07 module doesn't have a dedicated ride bell port it uses the plug that you would need for a second crash. So if you do want to upgrade to a second crash on the TD-07 KVX you also have choose between that or the bell zone on your ride (presumably this is why Roland didn't ship a second crash in the kit). Now the TD-17 KVX has almost all the same equipment except it does have the second crash because the TD-17 module can support it.
Imagine that u dont care about the Second crash and size, but, u Care about the sound. Which one from the vídeo would you buy? (Not counting Yamaha dtx)
Great video man! The more and more I watch and learn about all these kits it seems like if you aren’t gonna drop around the 2-2.5k range then it just isn’t worth it for electric drums if you really want something that’ll be worth it
Why would that be ? If one’s not going to use the sounds on the module and run it through a drum VST , It makes it worth it at any price , I’m just looking for the most accurate edrums for the price , with a 3 zone ride
Hi, can you make a review for Lemon t630 since NUX is not available here in philipines so im planning to purchase one, but there's no deeper review here in youtube about lemon, hope you can make one, tahnks
Great review, Justin, very informative. I'm not sure, though, why you consider the Roland TD-7 a better option regarding the available sounds of the module. The Roland model is actually a really small set, while the NUX DM8 has way better sounds than the Roland. I've spent a lot of time trying to make it sound decent and it still feels like a toy. The 17KVX is a different story but the DM8 sounds and feels way better than the TD7.
Hey bro is there any way you could do a video on a DIY way to make an inline double bass drum pedal . 😁 with spare parts of course ! You still rock 🤘😎✌
Hey! Are you going to review the Evans hybrid sensory? And if you do can you cover it's capabilities with natural acoustic sounds? Every review I see just plays some wild synth. 😂 Love the channel it my go-to for electronic drums.
65 DRUMS, Can you make one video lesson on only showing various Electronic Drums trigger schemes? because each electronic drums place their triggers differently and what type of triggers to go over in a video lesson would help out a lot.
Appreciate your videos man! Have you done any videos on good options for people who don't care at all about the sounds in the module and just want to use the e-drums for midi to record using sound libraries? If so I'll go browsing your videos. Thanks man!
Thats the thing if your going full midi, they say that responsiveness doesnt matter…so you probably want to worry more about sturdiness, pad size and loudness, number of pads, anf obviously you want the most powerful module you can get, which the alessis all seem to have midi out, while roland only offers great module action at higher price ranges.
Hi Justin, thanks for always keeping us informed about these new kits. Correct me off I’m wrong, does it seem like most newer kits cost more for less. I have a Roland TD11KV. All mesh pads, multi-zone toms and cymbals. If I were to get a newer kit, I feel that I’d be losing some features. Is that fair to say?
@@65Drumsthanks for your reply ! Looks very good though , just being shipped in Belgian and French stores the last few weeks , seen one , and want one , but as it’s pretty new I’d like to have some more insights from experts like you before buying
Does anyone use vendor kits? I don't, but I play at home currently. I can see if you forgot your laptop for a gig or practice. I have the Alesis DM 10 Mk 2 and it only has few kits, "for me", that I would use. Keep on Drumming peeps! Best Regards and Best Wishes!
Hey Justin or viewers of this channel, I was wondering if anybody has information if this kit would work with a yamaha dtx pro module? I bought this for my kid and I'm pondering over upgrade paths for this. I live in South East Asia so options are a bit limited.
when u gonna play a song, with headphones, have you mix the sound of the drum and the song, or just put low volume on headphones and play the song on your pc for ex? i have that big doubt
I bought this kit and i can't find adjustment for the Hi-hat when i connect the Hi-hat control its up and when i disconnect it up can some help me to find the solution
Thanks for your insight Justin. From your perspective, besode lack of sound quality its module produced, does this dm8 worth for recording with vst drum library? How about its midi interface capture and translate to midi note with the velocity that played?
Thanks for this review! .. This looked like a great drum kit on paper & I was about to order one .. but that drum module and hit-hat are deal breakers .. :(
Hey Justin, did you go to NAMM this year ? I was hoping you'd post some stuff if you did. I bought their online ticket thinking I'd be able to, like, pan around at booths, and, that ummmmm, wasn't available, so I kinda wasted $35 dollars and didn't really see much of anything I wanted to see. Unless it was how to mouth a flute, or promotion stuff or watching giveaways.... Etc etc etc There were concerts actually, I think... The app was bizzare to navigate, and I just got fed up with it and haven't opened it since...lol Anywho... If you have any footage, I'd love to check it out !!!! :-)
I feel like this kit is really expensive for what it is. You can get a Millenium MPS-850 for a lot less money. That kit has a comparable setup at 630 Euros. This is unfortunate for our friends outside Europe.
@@TheD0GGPOUND 65Drums explains a bit more about budget kits in this video. Long story short, you get what you pay for. The cheap kits are fine but need a bit of tuning.
I don't care what the onboard sounds, effects, none of that sounds like. I'm going into SD3 exclusively. It took me a long time to take the plunge, but I did finally, and haven't ever went back. I did the firmware update on my td17 a while back, and fooled around with it a little after that, and .... no..... back to SD3 for me! So really what I'm looking for is a "shell" kit? A set of pads, and stick with the td17. You totally messed me up when you said "suprisingly you can send 14 audio tracks over usb" Are you for real? That is EPIC! But even as I'm writing this comment I'm already asking myself "so? That just means I can't change them later. I've got to premix, like the old days, instead of postmix." I guess I've finally gotten an understanding of the benefits of going in midi, and I'm having a hard time finding things audio tracks are more beneficial for than midi. You got anything Justin? I think I'm sounding a little snobby. I'm really not trying to, my question is genuine. I'm digging this kit, for the i/o, and for the pad sizes. I've got what's left of a td17kv, with a strike pro ride "bell went out a week after i got it lol". I toasted my kd10 also, so check it. I'm using the snare bar and mounting clamp, on a command 8" pad, on the vertical legs of the rack, as a bass drum! I put some egg crate foam, cut to fit, under the head, and went to basic settings, kept it kd10, upped the sensativity to 9, and threshold to 5, and set it to "loud 2" and it works flawlessly! I really dig the way it plays, feels, and triggers. No more double taps. Saves me hours of deleting hits off the grid lmao.
I wonder if the length of the racking bar for the floor tom is long enough if we move one of the rack tom there? So it became 1 rack + 2 floor instead. Is it possible?
Hi justin I want some help, in my country (Colombia) I can't find this kit anymore, do you know where I can order it that would ship to my country? thanks...
Considering this kit. If the sound is the main issue, couldn't that just be solved by EZdrummer? Somehow, the competitors you mentioned like the Alesis the NUX is a lot cheaper. Here (in Thailand) it goes for 966 USD while the Alesis goes for 1370 USD. The Roland you mentioned, I believe isn't available here.
One of the reasons that I would like to go for this one is that the size is comparible with acoustic kits. Thus, it might be easier to swiitch between them. I saw your video where you suggest to widen your electronic kit. So, I thought this would be a good option. What do you think?
Justin, I’ve been a subscriber for awhile now love you content. My question is this I have a Roland TD10 expanded for the advance cymbals. I’ve been thinking about getting a efnote 3x. Do you think this would be a worthwhile upgrade?
Off-topic, but I figured you'd know since you've been playing electronic drums for so long. How do you keep the cymbal wingnut from coming more and more loose each time you hit the cymbal? I purchased the Tama cymbal mate thinking it would work, but it just pops off when I hit the cymbal and ends up being worse than the plastic Roland wingnuts. Any suggestions? Thanks!
@@65Drums Yea, I was paying attention carefully and everything looks kind of far away from Alesis/medeli thing. Menu, screen, layout, is different. The hardware looks kind of decent, the audio interface is awesome, 14 tracks at once is something that I haven't seen even on Roland. Sadly it doesn't have Midi In Port to allow for a Slave module for expansion. It sounds really decent... interesting! It turns out that there is a lot of musical hardware like guitar accessories sold here at Chile under the name Cherub instruments Looks like another player did hit the eDrum market. Is it Russian by origin?
A little off topic. Watching this led me to check the Millennium 850 ($579), which led to this surprising find. Roland sells the TD27KV-2 (Yes the one with the digital hi-hat/snare/ride) for $2499 in Germany. A $1000 bucks less than the US. I understand if Roland was made in Germany, its made in Japan. So the Roland US distributer charges US customers/dealers an extra $1000 ! Way to go Roland US.... N O T ! ☹
@@ianmcnamee1652 I just checked Drumtec..... Lets just say... wow ! Are they for real ? and they ship to the US ! Oh my. I wonder if the module has a universal voltage switch between 240v to 110v, not really a deal breaker. Just something to keep an eye. Thanks for the tip
Legend! I was waiting for a review for this kit. Would this kit be a better option than the Alesis crimson 2 se? I live in Australia and dm10kii pro is not sold here. I’ve heard that by tweaking the md8 module the sounds might improve. Thanks for your review 🙏🏻🙌🏼
@@ianmcnamee1652 you can find the Nux dm8 and 7x in Queensland and get it shipped anywhere in Australia. I just haven’t done it because I’d like to try it out first. Can’t find it in Melbourne. Yes Roland’s are always good. Would need to save more money though. Thanks mate.
I'm based here in Melbourne as well. Trying to figure out if this might be a decent swap from a Roland Td-1dmk. Curious about the 3 states of the hi hat and whether a VH-11 works with sending Vh-11 sends 0-127 value via midi (to the VST)
@@PerryLoh hi mate. It’s hard to tell with out trying it out. For me it looks very good for the price. At that price range you normally don’t get two crashes and 3 zone ride. The module also gives you extra functions as reverb eq etc. the new td17kv2 and kvx2 Roland module also offers this. The only thing that makes me think about the Nux is the hi hat. The Nux dm8 would be comparable with the td17kvx2 in regards to pad sizes and functionalities. But Roland is Roland in my opinion. The difference between the 2 is about 1200 - 1300 au $
@@Mrluchendo hey mate. Yeah I was initially quite keen to consider the nux dm8, even called up a store in QLD. But I think you're right, it's comparable to a TD-17kvx which seems to be only $800 more right now. With the Roland it'll be easier to sell or upgrade hihat. Module doesn't matter that much to me since i'd prefer running it thru a vst plug in anyways via midi. Worth saving up 👍
Might I suggest - You mention "You also get a free Hi Hat stand [etc]" Um, it's not free. You're paying for it. On the converse, I think all of Roland's offerings require you to purchase throne, hi hat stand, kick drum pedal. That might easily add another $400-500 to the package.
I think we're talking about semantics. At this price, many drum sets do not come with a hi-hat stand. So this kit is an outlier because it does include the stand, I decided to call it free. But yes, you're buying a kit, so you're still paying for it. Just like free shipping isn't actually free.
@@65Drums There's an important point to the label (the semantics). Imagine two kits from two manufacturers. Both sell for $1500. One of the kits requires an additional $300 worth of stands to simply be at the basic functional level as the other kit. I would be an irresponsible consumer if I were to try and compare the two kits at the $1500 price point. Buy the stands and pedals for the kits that don't include them. That's the amount I have to pay to complete the other kit. Use THAT total dollar amount as the price point to compare kits. I can still compare this kit vs that kit. But I don't want to lose site of the parameters of the experiment. I'm comparing 1500 dollars worth of product to 1800 dollars worth of product. Because as you suggest, "Just like free shipping..." Thanks for the review. You're doing all the legwork so we don't have to..🙂
3:00 Good lord, the machine gunning on this thing is absolutely horrendous. We're not in 1985, this is completely unacceptable for ANY e-drumset in 2024.

Just a tip----I purchased this kit and I really lilke it. Yes, the factory snare stand is short for taller players. I purchased a tall snare stand from Amazon.

I bought DM8 becuz of ur review. As a beginner, I’m happy with it. The only problem is the seat is too low for my height.
Just wanted to mention what I think was a little mix up in the comparable kits section near the end of the video. You mention the Roland TD-07 KVX's single crash cymbal and the cost of upgrading to a second crash. Just wanted to note that the 07-KVX kit comes with Roland's CY-13R three-zone ride cymbal but because the TD-07 module doesn't have a dedicated ride bell port it uses the plug that you would need for a second crash. So if you do want to upgrade to a second crash on the TD-07 KVX you also have choose between that or the bell zone on your ride (presumably this is why Roland didn't ship a second crash in the kit). Now the TD-17 KVX has almost all the same equipment except it does have the second crash because the TD-17 module can support it.
Imagine that u dont care about the Second crash and size, but, u Care about the sound. Which one from the vídeo would you buy? (Not counting Yamaha dtx)

Why would that be ?
If one’s not going to use the sounds on the module and run it through a drum VST , It makes it worth it at any price ,

I did the firmware update on my td17 a while back, and fooled around with it a little after that, and .... no..... back to SD3 for me! So really what I'm looking for is a "shell" kit? A set of pads, and stick with the td17. You totally messed me up when you said "suprisingly you can send 14 audio tracks over usb" Are you for real? That is EPIC! But even as I'm writing this comment I'm already asking myself "so? That just means I can't change them later. I've got to premix, like the old days, instead of postmix." I guess I've finally gotten an understanding of the benefits of going in midi, and I'm having a hard time finding things audio tracks are more beneficial for than midi. You got anything Justin? I think I'm sounding a little snobby. I'm really not trying to, my question is genuine. I'm digging this kit, for the i/o, and for the pad sizes. I've got what's left of a td17kv, with a strike pro ride "bell went out a week after i got it lol". I toasted my kd10 also, so check it. I'm using the snare bar and mounting clamp, on a command 8" pad, on the vertical legs of the rack, as a bass drum! I put some egg crate foam, cut to fit, under the head, and went to basic settings, kept it kd10, upped the sensativity to 9, and threshold to 5, and set it to "loud 2" and it works flawlessly! I really dig the way it plays, feels, and triggers. No more double taps. Saves me hours of deleting hits off the grid lmao.
Can I send 14 audio tracks to daw and record them like midi tracks ?
I wonder if the length of the racking bar for the floor tom is long enough if we move one of the rack tom there? So it became 1 rack + 2 floor instead. Is it possible?
It’s pretty sick as a midi controller, the in-box sounds are pretty garbage, but I never really intended to use them anyway
Hi justin I want some help, in my country (Colombia) I can't find this kit anymore, do you know where I can order it that would ship to my country? thanks...
I'm debating whether to buy this drums (Nux dm-8) or the “Alesis crimson 2” , which one is better in your opinion?
Same here
65 drums!!!!!
hey can you pls make a video at namm 2023
Considering this kit. If the sound is the main issue, couldn't that just be solved by EZdrummer? Somehow, the competitors you mentioned like the Alesis the NUX is a lot cheaper. Here (in Thailand) it goes for 966 USD while the Alesis goes for 1370 USD. The Roland you mentioned, I believe isn't available here.
One of the reasons that I would like to go for this one is that the size is comparible with acoustic kits. Thus, it might be easier to swiitch between them. I saw your video where you suggest to widen your electronic kit. So, I thought this would be a good option. What do you think?
Justin, I’ve been a subscriber for awhile now love you content. My question is this I have a Roland TD10 expanded for the advance cymbals. I’ve been thinking about getting a efnote 3x. Do you think this would be a worthwhile upgrade?
Yeah It's a much better kit in my opinion. The module doesn't have as many tricks. but it sounds better, and has a way better hihat and ride cymbal
It does kinda look like an Alesis though
No intellectual property regulations, no problem!
He sounds like the weatherman: "It can rain but maybe not............."
Just dare to be clear man.
I saw your drill with the drum key and realized I was blind to the concept for years. 🤦♂
It’s life changing
Off-topic, but I figured you'd know since you've been playing electronic drums for so long. How do you keep the cymbal wingnut from coming more and more loose each time you hit the cymbal? I purchased the Tama cymbal mate thinking it would work, but it just pops off when I hit the cymbal and ends up being worse than the plastic Roland wingnuts. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Sound quality beats the stock sounds on my drumit III.... By far.
Anothe flavor of some alesis or medeli drum?
Not this time. The parent company of NUX is Cherub Industries. From what I can tell, they are their own thing
@@65Drums Yea, I was paying attention carefully and everything looks kind of far away from Alesis/medeli thing. Menu, screen, layout, is different. The hardware looks kind of decent, the audio interface is awesome, 14 tracks at once is something that I haven't seen even on Roland. Sadly it doesn't have Midi In Port to allow for a Slave module for expansion. It sounds really decent... interesting!
It turns out that there is a lot of musical hardware like guitar accessories sold here at Chile under the name Cherub instruments
Looks like another player did hit the eDrum market.
Is it Russian by origin?
A little off topic. Watching this led me to check the Millennium 850 ($579), which led to this surprising find. Roland sells the TD27KV-2 (Yes the one with the digital hi-hat/snare/ride) for $2499 in Germany. A $1000 bucks less than the US. I understand if Roland was made in Germany, its made in Japan. So the Roland US distributer charges US customers/dealers an extra $1000 ! Way to go Roland US.... N O T ! ☹
@@ianmcnamee1652 I just checked Drumtec..... Lets just say... wow ! Are they for real ? and they ship to the US ! Oh my. I wonder if the module has a universal voltage switch between 240v to 110v, not really a deal breaker. Just something to keep an eye. Thanks for the tip
Someone tell me please this or the Millenium mps 1000
Legend! I was waiting for a review for this kit. Would this kit be a better option than the Alesis crimson 2 se? I live in Australia and dm10kii pro is not sold here. I’ve heard that by tweaking the md8 module the sounds might improve. Thanks for your review 🙏🏻🙌🏼
@@ianmcnamee1652 you can find the Nux dm8 and 7x in Queensland and get it shipped anywhere in Australia. I just haven’t done it because I’d like to try it out first. Can’t find it in Melbourne. Yes Roland’s are always good. Would need to save more money though. Thanks mate.
I'm based here in Melbourne as well. Trying to figure out if this might be a decent swap from a Roland Td-1dmk. Curious about the 3 states of the hi hat and whether a VH-11 works with sending Vh-11 sends 0-127 value via midi (to the VST)
@@PerryLoh hi mate. It’s hard to tell with out trying it out. For me it looks very good for the price. At that price range you normally don’t get two crashes and 3 zone ride. The module also gives you extra functions as reverb eq etc. the new td17kv2 and kvx2 Roland module also offers this. The only thing that makes me think about the Nux is the hi hat. The Nux dm8 would be comparable with the td17kvx2 in regards to pad sizes and functionalities. But Roland is Roland in my opinion. The difference between the 2 is about 1200 - 1300 au $
@@Mrluchendo hey mate. Yeah I was initially quite keen to consider the nux dm8, even called up a store in QLD. But I think you're right, it's comparable to a TD-17kvx which seems to be only $800 more right now. With the Roland it'll be easier to sell or upgrade hihat. Module doesn't matter that much to me since i'd prefer running it thru a vst plug in anyways via midi. Worth saving up 👍
@@PerryLoh last time I checked was 1200 $ difference. Yeah definitely worth the save then. 🙌🏼. Is that for the td17 kvx 2 or the old kvx?
Might I suggest - You mention "You also get a free Hi Hat stand [etc]" Um, it's not free. You're paying for it.
On the converse, I think all of Roland's offerings require you to purchase throne, hi hat stand, kick drum pedal. That might easily add another $400-500 to the package.
I think we're talking about semantics. At this price, many drum sets do not come with a hi-hat stand. So this kit is an outlier because it does include the stand, I decided to call it free. But yes, you're buying a kit, so you're still paying for it. Just like free shipping isn't actually free.
@@65Drums There's an important point to the label (the semantics).
Imagine two kits from two manufacturers. Both sell for $1500. One of the kits requires an additional $300 worth of stands to simply be at the basic functional level as the other kit. I would be an irresponsible consumer if I were to try and compare the two kits at the $1500 price point. Buy the stands and pedals for the kits that don't include them. That's the amount I have to pay to complete the other kit. Use THAT total dollar amount as the price point to compare kits.
I can still compare this kit vs that kit. But I don't want to lose site of the parameters of the experiment. I'm comparing 1500 dollars worth of product to 1800 dollars worth of product. Because as you suggest, "Just like free shipping..."
Thanks for the review. You're doing all the legwork so we don't have to..🙂
3:00 Good lord, the machine gunning on this thing is absolutely horrendous. We're not in 1985, this is completely unacceptable for ANY e-drumset in 2024.
Sounds ok I guess. Too much machine gunning. The snare sounds pretty good with the overtones. I’ll stick with my Roland.
if you snap stick on edrums I am concerned for you
Bro. These aren't normal drum sticks. The free ones Chinese drum companies include are mode of some odd ultra-lightweight wood.
The kit cost 300 dollars to make and 1400 dollars to buy I'll pass
Is this kit a replacement for the DM-7x or are they still going to be selling the DM-7x for a while yet?
Both still exist, the 8 is just the new flagship
