Alexan's Electronic Drum Kit: A Review

Recently, I am planning to buy a drum set just for home use. But I remembered that Alexan has an Electronics Drum Set and I want to give it a try.

So I rushed at Alexan and bought an Alexan's Drum Set for 600+Pesos.



Building it is fairly easy as the schematic is already provided. However, there are some values not listed on the BOM of the schematic like the capacitor in the kit I bought. And there are traces that are shorted on the PCB (luckily, I used a bench power supply that has an Over Current Protection).

Here is the final assembled piece:



There is an output for the amplifier and there is a provided built-in amplifier section in the schematic for the mini speaker. (driven by LM386)

I would probably say that the sound quality using the provided speaker is good vs the price of the kit. I tried putting it in an amplifier and it is ok as well. Maybe this December, me and my former band mates will meet, and will try to use this one hooked up on an amplifier and will post the results here.
