This kit is perfect for any beginner percussionist looking for a kit to practice on or a midi instrument with a drum feel to it for controlling your plugins. It lacks some of the bells and whistles of say a Roland V-Drum kit, mainly the more realistic feeling mesh pads, higher quality drum samples with more dynamics to them, and the ability to expand to a double bass kick pedal. However at the price this is hard to pass on, especially if you have played it; it feels great!

For anyone looking into drumming on a variety of different tones and sounds while trying to keep cost and space limitations in mind, the Carlsbro CSD180 will be a fantastic option to look into. The variety of different preset kits with a whopping 450+ percussion voices should keep the interest of anyone looking to buy it for years to come without ever getting too bored. The demo songs and metronome are definitely ideal for anyone looking to practice frequently. And as said before, the price and size of this thing are perfect for people on a starter budget who may not have tons of room to set up a standard drum kit. This is a Sam Ash employee review.

The CSD180 is an affordable option for someone looking to get started. Ideally this an awesome kit for practice with out having to wake the neighbor hood. Solid quality and decent samples.

The CSD 180 is a great electric kit for it's price point. The great quality of the preset kits that come with it are diverse. The dual zones on the pads are a well needed touch and can really give a person a lot of choices when it comes to personalizing the kit for their needs. If you are someone who is looking to have a little something at home to get your feet wet, or someone who needs a quick kit for a gig, this is the one for you.

The Carlsbro CSD180 is an affordable, easy to use, and great sounding electronic drum kit. This kit fits in most spaces making it ideal for those limited on room. The CSD180 is great for kids and adults alike, giving you plenty of room for creativity, adjustment with volume through the headphone jack (gives parents some peace and quiet), and recording functionality to take your playing to the next level! This kit is easy to set up and easy to use with an intuitive display screen. All in all a great buy and for the price listed well worth getting!

This E-kit is great for anyone looking to get into the world of electronic drums for the first time. My experience with Carlsbro so far has been nothing but excellent when it comes to getting younger drummers into the electronic drum game at a low cost. The rubber on the drum pads and cymbals is a nice feeling soft yet responsive rubber that doesn't pick up scuffing from drum sticks as much as other brands do. This kit comes with a kick pedal, which is a huge plus. Some other features include a strong and sturdy drum rack, add-on inputs for if you want to add additional cymbals or drums, and midi in/out. Great all in kit, just add a throne and you're set! joe @ store 57- Indianapolis, IN

This is the in house brand for Sam Ash and is a great deal for under $400! Over 450 drum and percussion sounds, 26 premade kits, this thing is perfect for practice, live or studio play and great for that apartment with the nosy neighbors! I love the feel and bounce. -staff review by skern at Sam Ash 57

This is a nice compact electronic drum kit with great pads. Easy to set up and has a diverse range of different drum kits and percussion sets. It's equipped with a 3 band EQ and reverb effects, and can also be used as a USB controller!
