Cheapest controller for dm that doesn't suck?

[Trip Machina]

The DM KOC works just fine with me...bass pedal and all....it's around $100~$120 shipped. It got me through TOCCATA (ADV) and a couple LVL 60+ songs (my skill limit as of right now) so far.

LMAO Costco also has eletronic/midi drumsets in??

The only thing I remember about Costco is their prices on 20pack microwaveable burritos .

See yaz bye.

I searched on Craig's List and found someone selling an Alesis DM5 electric drum kit for $300. Does anyone have this? Is it good/bad?

The DM5 is a good module from what I understand - I have an Alesis D4, the model before.

However, I can't vouch for Alesis pads / triggers as I've never used them, other than the fact that I am about to buy a hi-hat pedal from them.

The good thing though is if a pad breaks down, you can just get a Yamaha pad and plug that in until you eventually replace the whole set one by one

sorry if im reviving an old topic but after reading through the posts it seems that most people say that the dtxpress is very good. so my question is would it be a good set to start out with if i found a dtxpress III at $210?

Target has the ION set at $230 for its regular price now, if you're that desperate for a drum set.

Are you sure that it's for the whole set and not just the drum brain?
