Product Review: ION Audio Drum Rocker
Posted by John De Large on 02.06.2010





Are you tired of wimpy drumsets, with brittle kick pedals and flimsy drum pads? Do you want a drumset made with quality materials? Do you want a drumset that actually looks like a REAL drumset and not a Fischer Price kids toy? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you should get Ion Audio's new Drum Rocker kit! It's guaranteed to make your room/living room/den/anywhere into a real life Beat Laboratory.



Made with an aluminum frame (not plastic!) and leather drum pads, Ion Audio had the guys at Alesis pull out all the stops when making this impressive equipment. Both the frame and the pads are durable, luxurious and it won't wear out, no matter how hard you hit the pad with your sticks! These pads are impervious to cracking or damage! The Drum Rocker isn't reliant on its sweet drum pads though, it comes with sweet cymbals too! You can attach these cymbals virtually anywhere on the drumset, whether you want them above you, below you or at your side. With the cymbal attachments not only do you get a more realistic drumset, you get to customize your drumset exactly how you want.

Last but not least, there's the full metal kick pedal. This thing is bulletproof, weatherproof, breakproof and rock-out-proof. As with the drum pads, you won't be able to put a scratch in the kick pedal, let alone break it. Last but not least, the kick pedal is as flexible as it durable; since the kick pedal isn't connected to the drumset, you'll be able to move it where ever you want, just like the cymbals.

About the only thing I didn't like about the Drum Rocker was that it took 2 hours to set the thing up. During construction, parts kept slipping and sliding, even after I'd tightened them a good deal. It wasn't until I found and used a cross shaped tool that came with the package that I was able to finish building the drumset. Make sure when you get your Drum Rocker that you search out the odd shaped tool that lets you tighten things quickly and painlessly.

THE 411
All in all, the Drum Rocker is a solid piece of equipment, made from quality materials. The Drum Rocker lets you rock out as hard as you want, however you want. Virtually anything can be moved or changed around to suit your needs and it'll stand up to whatever you can dish out, even on Expert mode.
