I was really surprised by the quality, innovation, and attention to details. It is a solid well built and well engineered set of drums. The electronic module is easy to operate and the features are impressive. It produces rich and real acoustic drum sounds. The drum heads are a made of a heavy duty mesh material. The feel, response, and sensitivity is excellent. The standalone hi-hat has a heavy duty stand. It sounds good and it functions nicely. The drums, symbols, and hi-hat are really close to being silent. I’m told that while playing with the headphones, they can’t be heard in an adjacent room. The kit takes some time to put together but it does come with a set of professionally written instructions that are easy to follow.The FED1000 is often recommended as a good option for beginners looking for a budget-friendly e-drum kit. The reality is this is a full size adult set with features and stability that go well beyond a budget-friendly option for beginners. I am a full size adult with over 45 years experience on acoustic sets. Granted I’m not playing in a band anymore, but the FED1000 is capable of that, and it has not disappointed me.Why I purchased this kit:I’ve played acoustic drums for years and in several bands dating back to the late 70’s. I had a full Rodger’s drum kit that I set up and played off and on in my garage. The wife and neighbors decided I didn’t need to play the drums anymore. LOL. I gave the set away to two young brothers from a family at church. The look of joy on their faces was well worth it.I am retired now and I really miss playing the drums. I recently tried out a few different e-drum kits in various music stores. I decided that’s the way to go to keep the wife and neighbors happy. I went on Bolo to see what was available for under $600. I explored several kits and watched several YouTube video demonstrations. Fesley was the best set for the price IMO. The FED1000 really sounded good in the demonstration videos and I could see it was highly functional. The standalone hi-hat was a huge plus. I really wanted the stand-alone snare drum, but it turns out the frame mounted snare is actually better, IMO. It’s nice not having the stand in the way and the position and height is fully adjustable.Conclusion:If you are looking for an e-drum set for under $500, this set will not disappoint you. It is a full size kit and everything is solid and well made, except for the drum stool. I am 6’1” tall and weigh 205 lbs. The stool would be ok for a smaller person but not for me. The headphones that come with the kit are kind of flimsy but they sound good. I didn’t purchase this kit for the drum stool and headphones so I did not consider them in my overall rating. I have a high quality set of headphones and I plan to purchase a drum stool with a backrest and hydraulic adjuster. In the mean time, the provided stool gets me drumming. I thoroughly enjoy this e-drum kit. I look forward to exploring all the sounds and options that are available.Update:After several days of putting this set to the test, including sore arms and legs (LOL), I continue to be impressed. I added two inexpensive BT wireless audio adapters (Beeitzie), one in receiver mode, the other in transmitter mode, so I could use my BT headphones and connect my IPhone to the module wirelessly. The audio in from my IPhone is controlled by the IPhone and not the drum module volume control. This is a nice feature to easily balance out the music I’m playing along with. The IPhone can also be directly plugged into the 3.5 mm “audio in” jack on the drum module with the same results. Someone really spent some time engineering this e-drum kit and I am enjoying the results.

Muy buena opción para aprender !!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great but 4 stars because the accessories aren't very good

This drum set is awesome! I work night shift, so I'm awake during the night and I can practice while everyone else is sleeping and there are no problems, it's super quiet! Great beginner set, I love that the high-hat moves, super sturdy. 4 stars instead of 5 though because the headphones it comes with are not comfy at all, and I will never use them, and the drum throne is pretty crappy too, it's usable but its wobbly and I will probably be upgrading that eventually. What's nice about this set too is you can buy an amp to play out loud, but I didn't want to spend that money, so I tried it in my guitar amp and it works perfectly! Overall, awesome set, but the headphones, throne, and installation instructions suck

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality and design are first rate.

FED 1200 W. Just got them and i am impressed with the quality. They took me some time to put the together and a second pair of hands would have helpful. I am a bit older than most drummers. Great design. Well worth the $$$. The directions were very good. The ear phones are not the best. I would give the 1200's five stars

3.0 out of 5 stars Halfway decent, BETTER with my improvements

A.C. · May 16, 2025

First of all, the drum module sounds are just terrible to start with. I only use one user kit but made five more with different snares or hi hats but the toms, bass, and cymbals settings stay the same. Even the hi hat I use changes sounds on different user kits when it’s programmed to be the SAME hi hat. I don’t understand that oneSecond, the pad sizes are good, better than other kits this price but….. removing the 10” floor tom to use a 12” floor tom on a snare stand is WAY better.The hi hat size at 12” sucks. I replaced it with a low volume 14” hi hat, sticking the Fesley sensors on the underneath side of the upper hat (didn’t need a lower hat). Yes, I had to rip apart the Fesley hi hat to get the trigger out of it with its little control module. The trigger was dbl sided taped the hat and the module was screwed to the hat with spacers. The hi hat control worked as is with modified upper hat until it broke. Then I gutted it and made my on liner control using a plastic dinner plate so now it is sort of like a two piece hi hat. The Evan’s mute pad is necessary to keep vibrations down on the upper hat or the trigger just goes nuts.Fianlly, a REALLY GOOD IMPROVEMENT THAT IS FREE: Remove the stupid rubbers from the drum pads and tighten down the heads one to 2 turns per screw to start with. They look way better (like actual drums), play much better rim shots and even a “cross stick” gets picked up, and rebound becomes way improved with tighter heads (obviously).I also replaced all cheap plastic clamps with Gibraltar and got quality hi hat stand and pedals since theirs suck. I also butchered the frame, losing both side pieces and using metal clamps and their included cymbal arms as new side pieces so nothing is in my way.See photos

Excellent.

It's impossible to compare an acoustic drum kit with an electronic one, but I posted photos of the setup, which in my opinion was very good. It took me about 2 hours to analyze the effects and adjust the sensitivity, but it was worth it. If you want to try it, I'll leave the step-by-step guide. #1 Select the kit (USER PERCUSSION 3), which is already saved in the module. #2 Go to the Menu and Select (PAD SET) and adjust the Voice HH 4, note: I only adjusted this function for the hi hat. #3 Select (SEN SET) and then just play with the drumstick on each element of the drum kit, including the bass drum with the pedal, one at a time and enter the settings from the photos I sent here in the comments and that's it. Later I'll record a video of the sound. I'll see how it turns out in the next few days, but initially it was well worth the investment. The only negative point is that the bench is weak, so if you weigh 100kg or more, it won't support it for long. And another point was that when I was programming and configuring the Snare, Tom 1 and Cras 1 simply stopped working... I contacted support by email and was very well attended, all I had to do was reset the module and everything went back to normal. Good luck to everyone and lots of sound and light on the path of music lovers like me.

Tarda un poco en llegar por el tema de las aduanas, pero es un gran equipo a un gran precio

Fesley drum kit. Fed1000

A decent set for the price. The headphones are budget and so is the throne as a bigger person i can say it feels unstable. That being said let’s remember it is an all in one kit so for someone just learning it’s great. It has all you need to get going most people may have a better set of headphones to use. The throne can get a bettrr one when further along. The included kits are decent, you can also run it through any drum kit software for more kits and better sound. I have used it in garage band ableton live flstudio and even the on board kit in fender studio. All these daws work well either with included kits or third party kits. I had repositioned some of the parts for my playing style. The actual hight hat stand is a welcome addition. The only wish i had would be the ability to add more to the kit. But great product i highly recommend.

Very happy I bought them

It's a long reviewOkay so I'm a retiered sound and lighting tech. As well as an old school drummer that never wanted electronic drums. But the life happened had a kid sold ALL of my gear. Now I'm getting back into drumming but with very limited room I needed something small and compact. Searched for a while and while these aren't top of the line they seemed to perform well judging by reviews and not being a professional and just wanting something to jam on, on my own these seemed to fit the task and the price range.Cons in my opinion.The sticks they send are similar to an A5 but they are junk. One was very visably warped and I broke the tips off both in a matter of about 3 hours of playing.The headphones are straight up garbage. They are uncomfortable and have poor sound quality. I use a pair of high quality headphones and notice a significant increase in music quality.The control module can only go on the side with your snair and hihat due to cable length, which essentially puts the controller right under the hihat. I'd personally prefer it on the other side where I'm not doing 90% of my drumming.I don't like the fact that I can't adjust the music volume as well as the drum volume. (I like it loud thought) no fault in the machine it is plenty loud, just not loud enough for me.Pros in my opinionThe rebound on the drum heads feels really good and natural. (I play metal mostly and hard) so far they seem to be standing up to the abuse really well. The sound also sounds pretty good and on par with a real set.The stand seems to be very solid as well. Never played on a stand before but really like the freedom to move things around.The cymbals are taking some getting used to. But again the sound is decent I just need to learn how to play them.I really like the ability to pump audio into it and have the music overlay to play what I want and control the volume of the drums.Overall I am happy with everything. I play them everyday may look at upgrading to a larger bass and a double pedal set up later.If your looking to play for fun and leisure or learn it's a good set for that.

Buen producto

De principio, los sonidos que trae por defecto no son muy buenos, pero se pueden combinar para crear sets personalizados. La sensibilidad en general es buena, pero específicamente en el hi-hat tiene algunas zonas que no se detectan (se puede ajustar la sensibilidad y la activación del trigger, pero eso mismo puede ocasionar que se detecten falsos toques). Me gustó que incluye stand tanto para el hi-hat como para la tarola. Recomiendo conectarla a la computadora para poder usarla como MIDI y poder exprimir aún más la batería, en especial para aprovechar la doble zona de los pads y añadirle algunos otros sonidos (como cencerros o claves); hay plugins para DAW que traen muy buenos sonidos. Lo que no me gustó es que tardan demasiado en enviarla. Esperé casi un mes. La caja principal llegó un poco dañada, así como algunas de las cajas interiores, pero todas las piezas estaban en buen estado.
