Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Drum Rocker delivers the most realistic drumming experience available to any gamer. Because Drum Rocker was built by the engineers at Alesis, one of the largest manufacturers of professional electronic drums in the world, you get a kit that’s designed to take a real beating.
While other drum controllers lock you down to a premolded, plastic array of pads, Drum Rocker supplies all the positioning flexibility that professional drummers demand. Drum Rocker’s professional aluminum drum rack lets you position your snare, tom and cymbal pads wherever you want.
When you’re ready to move from playing Rock Band to playing in a rock band, you can swap the game controller module with one of the professional drum brains made by Alesis, and you’re ready to hit the road for real. You can also upgrade your Drum Rocker with a third cymba to take full advantage of the Pro Mode features in Rock Band 3.
Works with all Rock Band Video Games - please note this module is for use with Nintendo Wii Controllers (PS3 and Xbox versions available separately)

I bought this product for my son, being very wary of how 'real' the sound would be. I thoroughly recommend it for its authenticity and it fits into the corner of his bedroom perfectly. Recommended for anyone who is thinking about taking up drumming and lacks the space (or inclination) for an acoustic kit.

Gets the Job done Great price
18 Feb 2010
I searched a long time before deciding to buy this particular drum set. I am a beginning drummer who Has an Acoustic set at Church. I wanted to practice at home but tearing down and lugging an acoustic set of drums home and back every weeek was not going to fly. (and I'm sure my neighbor would not appreciate the loud sound of the drums) So I searched and searched and searched online and at the local music store (who wanted $900 bucks for a similar set) and I made the decision on this one because of the price mainly. I was skeptical at first and kept my receipt and all parts handy just in case i needed to return this and......
The product is great. There are no problems with the wiring or foot pedals or anything. It does not have a "cheap" feeling to it either. physically speaking, it looks like a 500 or even 600 dollar equipment. The only thing that takes it down a notch for me is that you miss having a separate ride pad and crash pad. (they only give you one choice, either a ride or a crash) but fortunately you can buy a separate crash/ride cymbal and install it into the main brain. another disappointment is that it seems that you cannot add a splash cymbal pad if you wanted to. (oh well you can't have it all for this price)
When i practice, i do so in my living room which is not very large. My wife stated that it sounds as if i am striking phone books with drumsticks when i practice with the headphones on. This is a major plus because I have neighbors and i do not want to disturb them with my drumming nor do I want to announce to the neighborhood that I have a drum set in my house. (break-ins) It comes with a port where you can plug in speakers and play out loud also if need be. The variety of sounds are also fun too. I have not ventured deep into what the brain can do but so far I am far form being unimpressed
Even though the price is lower than other drum sets which can cost you 600-1500 and up. This one is not cheaply built. All of the parts and arms and body of the drum set is stable. My curious cats have already tipped it over, but no broken parts or anything like that. Overall I believe that if you are a beginning drummer like myself, this is the perfect low cost quiet set for you.

Great value for the money
2 Oct 2009
[...] it wasn't even listed on the Ion Audio website yet, but bought it on a lark. Build is solid. Sound quality is excellent (not quite what a $1500 Roland will provide, but really quite good) with the included headphones (and drumsticks). Control panel is fairly straightforward, but I strongly suggest reading the instructions. Feel of drum surfaces is very good; that of cymbals somewhat rubbery.
I'm not a drummer, but have been a musician for 35 years and wanted something to fool around on without a) annoying everyone in the house and b) having to listen to my two boys bash it to pieces. I've only had it for about 2 weeks, but I'm very pleasantly surprised.
Note: This set appeared on the Ion Audio website about a week after I bought it!

Ion Pro Session Drums ... 4-1/2 Stars
29 Oct 2009
I bought this drum set about 5 weeks ago at the local Wholesale
Membership store due to the Cost, about 2/3 of the quoted price
here on Amazon. The set was on display, and after listening
to the cymbals on the headphones I decided to buy it. I purchased
the set specifically to add a more realistic drum track to my own
music, which I record on a multitrack recorder.
If you read reviews of electronic drums of every price range, there's
a host of problems that can occur, from loosening of the glue that
holds the pads, to broken foot pedals, to malfunctions of the computer
chips and wiring connections. At this price point, I decided I could
take a chance. Included with the set was a very nice Numark 125
headphone, a pair of large unvarnished drum sticks, 2 foot pedals,
4 pads, 2 cymbals, the drum module, and a sturdy PVC frame.
After using the set for several weeks I can say I am quite happy with it
so far. It assembled in about an hour, just using the diagram that came
with it. There is a small chrome wrench included that tightens all the
connections. My wrench is hanging from the frame so I don't lose it.
Initially I had a major problem in that there was no documentation in the
manual or on the ION Audio website of the 108 drum sounds and 15 patterns. The
prospect of scrolling through more than a hundred undocumented numbered
sounds to change the pad sounds seemed absurd.
I tried calling their customer service department, but perhaps due to the
newness of the product, and after a total of 45 minutes of musical hold
(and being transferred to three different people who said they couldn't
help but would transfer me to someone who could) I just hung up the phone.
Then, after two emails through the ION website contact form, and a couple
of additional emails to their customer service department, the ION customer
service reps finally came through and emailed me a list of the sounds and
patterns.
I don't know if this set will last, though it seems quite sturdy to me. I
hope the parts I can't see are as good as the parts I can see. I am
quite pleased with the quality of recordings I have done. As an amateur
musician, and a first time drummer I found the dynamics, sound and no
apparent lag time to be just what I was hoping to get. I did find that
to record direct to the multitrack recorder I needed to use the phones out rather
than the line out. The line out generated a lot of noise into an unbalanced
line in on my multitrack recorder. However the phones out generated a beautiful
clean recording.
