The physical response from the pads is excellent. Get the headphones on, select a kit sound you are happy with, and you will soon forget you are playing on rubber pads. There are plenty of individual drum sounds to customise your own kit, with individual sensitivity & volume settings per pad. The aux in is a great facility for plugging in your MP3 and playing a long. This is ideal for anyone tight on space who wants to practice at home, and without upsetting the neigbours. The initial set up took a while to get all the angles/heights adjusted to my personal playing preference but the flexibility is there to do this. Very good value for money, highly recommended.

I bought one of these kits recently. I had a Alesis Pro in the past and liked that quite a lot. When my marriage dissolved I left the Alesis Pro for my son to play and wanted to find another.
The Session Pro DD505 was roughly the same price as the Alesis kit but in my opinion is superior. For one it is much easier to set up. The fittings are excellent and the instructions are easy to follow, which is not the case with the Alesis version.
The sound is superb and the module very easy to use. I like very much the fact that it has an inout socket so you can easily connect an external music source to play along to your favourite tunes.
One thing I was interested in by way of a comparison was the operation of the hi-hat. The Alesis version was very hit and miss and it seemed to me the processor was maybe not up to the job. On the Session Pro drums however the hi-hat operates seamlessly and it is possible to play some quite complex patterns on the hi-hat without problem.
I play drums quite hard and have now been using this kit for several months without any problems whatsoerver. The fittings and general construction all seem to be sturdy and of very good quality.
I read one review that felt the bass drum pedal was not as sturdy as it could be so prior to buiyng the kit I had purchased a pedal. I haven't even used it however as the pedal that comes with the kit is sufficiently sturdy for even the battering I give it.
My only wish is that the module had some expansion slots to maybe add further cymbal pads but that is a minor point. I am very very pleased with this kit and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for an easy to use kit for beginners or a very useable practice or studio kit for more advanced drummers.
My only other gripe is a general one and not directed at this kit. Why is it that when you buy a drumkit you don't get a stool with it? A drumkit isn't complete without one but no sellers of kits, electronic or otherwise, give you a stool as part of the package. This is something manufacturers need to sort out.
Anyway, that aside, the Session Pro DD505 is a superb kit and excellent value for money.

The Pro-session DD506 drum kit is a generic Chinese made instrument, also branded as Fame, Legacy, Black Mamba or Medeli drums. The DD506 differs slightly from the previous versions in particular the player can now 'choke' the cymbals by holding the leading edge after the cymbal is struck. Its not exactly like an acoustic set but fairly realistic. The drum module also offers some additional sounds and the snare drum can produce the sound of rim shots when selected.
I bought this kit for my son to practice on up to Grade 3 level and I have to say I think it offers great value for money.
Only couple of gripes would be the bass pedal which comes new with the kit is very flimsy and just not up to heavy, repeat use. I replaced this unit with a standared Pearl pedal which fits fine and gives a greater feeling of rhobustness.
The arm upon which the drum module sits is a little odd and could be better designed as the module does not always seem to be completely secure.
My son also managed to break one of the support arms to the crash cymbal (don't ask). Again a non standard replacement arm was purchased cheaply and fitted the frame, although Yamaha brackets are similar, they do not fit.
Finally after much abuse the Hi-hat cymbal failed. This cymbal produces three sounds, namely closed, half open and fully open. I considered replacing the drum trigger but at £30 to replace the whole cymbal, it didn't seem worth it.
Don't be put off by these minor problems. The kit can take literally a good beating and is ideal for a beginner or a seasoned drummer looking to practice where noise is of concern. The sounds are very realistic and with some tweaking can be very useable in most situations.
The kit was never designed to compete with the thousand pound plus Rolands but at a few hundred pounds they are great value and well worth the investment.

First class, great value
For the bass to give any realistic sound , you need a decent amp .But with headphones there is no problem, Excellent kit for the price.
