Will this make me be able to play exactly like Neil Peart? Or do I have to spend more on a better kit?

Yes, this and three more of them, one to put on each side of you. See what I mean,?

Have you ever seen the size of Neil Pert's kit. I would look into John Bonham's skills, he didn't use as big of kit, and is consider rock's greatest.https://youtu.be/CqqksUbXTm0?t=53s

Yes, this drum kit will make you better than Neil Peart. This kit is one thousand times better than any kit on the market. Beware however; if you want to play as good as Keith Moon, you must drink several bottles of booze and consume mass quantities of pills.

Yes, and if you buy a sit and spin you can replicate his drums solos as seen live, him spinning around his set (or was it the other way around 'lol'). No Drum Kit can turn you into Neil, just like No Guitar can turn you into Eddie VH, they are truly One of a Kind!!

That depends entirely on what you're playing and who you're playing with. Are you playing solo? Then yes, this would be a good complement to your 20 watt head in a gymnasium. Are you playing something quieter with a drummer, bassist, and singer? Then probably yes, this will likely suffice. Are you playing lead guitar in a rock group and you need to be heard above everybody else while not mic'd up? Then no, this and your head are not loud enough for your needs. I played un mic'd in a gymnasium size room with 1x12 50 watt combo and this as an extension and it was just barely loud enough.

Yes this kit is a good place to start there are videos on you tube that can teach you also. I brought this drum set for my 10 year old but I can't quit playing, he'll put on his headphone when I'm sleeping so I don't hear hardly anything

Absolutely yes. It is a low price for a very cool little thing. Unless of course, you are getting it for musical reasons...in which case I would recommend a more professional one. It plays well enough for a costume or just for fun, but not if you're serious about learning the instrument.

I would suggest the EurekaPROM to go with it. Makes it function as a stompbox with native support for guitar VSTs like this.

after hand surgery i changed my washburn acoustic to nylon (most washburns have high enough action -wouldn't try it on an ovation or ibanez) it was excellent. BUT you must adjust. you'll figure it out. i used to tune in a higher key for less buzz but that is not necessary. gotta tell ya you'll lose volume and briteness & acoustic "clarity" but it is a sweet mellow sound; but i love bottom end.

I've never used either of the system's you've mentioned, but I run my RC-300 at the end of a LOT of input; POD HD 500, Elec. Keys, Elec. Drumkit, a handful of various analog and digital stomps (Boss and Behringer primarily-Reverse and Delay), and a Digitech Loopman. All of this is simultaneous, and I can't say I've lost any tone whatsoever, and believe me, there's some crazy amounts of variety in frequency as well as modulation that go together at once. You honestly have no worries with this piece of equipment. However, you WILL LOSE TONE without proper amplification and cables. You'll need to consider spending a pretty penny on some quality powered speakers and sturdy cables if you want to preserve your tone. I've been running a standard Fender FM100 Stack for a while and it cuts all of the bass from the kit, keys, and effects, as well as adds too much treble to the snare and higher registers. If you ever multi-link instruments with a y-cable, get a good one. I have a cheapo one right now and both the keys and the guitar/POD system have their decibel values decreased severely. Soooo... In short, you should marry this loop system.

I play guitar, but do quite a bit of percussion type stuff. Good for that, but I don't know about a full kit set up. Only 4 inputs ingot he Tone match anyway. Your better off with a six channel head and a double (full range) 15" cab.

Truly, it is a matter of taste. I use it on cello, banjo, and mandolin. They all sound fantastic. I tried a clip on condenser - too much feedback. This was a great middle ground between a condenser and an actual pickup. It also depends on the context you play in. If you play with live acoustic drums, get this - no feedback issues. Also, keep in mind that a good external preamp will work wonders. The 411 itself sounds a bit unnatural, but a good external preamp will fix that and allow you to shape the sound to taste and in context. That being said, a phantom power supply and an external preamp aren't cheap. External gear can be as critical as the source, though. Truly, it is a matter of taste.

Everybody seem to think that virtual amplification is less. In my opinion if you spend the time you'll get what you need with this unit. Its the best bang for the buck and easier to use. The tone of the V amp 3 is much better than its predecessors. It actually does a great job of articulating your playing being what it is. Its still not a tube amp but only a super tone snob could tell. You can do anything with it. Get a FCB1010 to go with it and look into a Ureaka E prom upgrade. I'm a thirty year veteran of guitar, bass, and a live sound man doing local circuit. you wont be sorry at a third the cost of line 6. Everybody seem to think that virtual amplification is less.

any source will work to a certain degree i have the drums from this rp155 going thru a digitech r7 guitar pedal amazing sounds can be added if you get bored with your drum sound...... like i said so i think that any input mic, other drums ect work but its whether you like whats comin out of course you would have to mic up the harmonica why dont you just go the store and see if they will let you demo it

This should be perfect for you! You can play plugged in or acoustically and it comes with a case and picks, so everything you need

I use the speed cobra double pedal and it works great. Kinda like hitting a wall but you get used to it. I believe you can connect another module to it using the "midi in" input to add more pads. I enjoy this kit. Works great and very easy to customize your kit and sound. I normally run it into a vst program though.

i doubt it!.... its a basic all in one cheap machine limited by what it can do.only a small part of it is the looper itself. i have another dedicated looper also as you cannot have looper and drums together.this was a poor decision by digitech as everyone wants looper/drums together dont they?....but it is worth buying for the drum samples alone although they can only be changed by speed their still very good and unless your a real drums enthusiast they suffice for most people just to jam along to with their guitar thats all this machine really is.. is a bedroom practice machine

Probably be fine..I sing and play guitar with another guy...mostly small rooms tho....but I think you should still be fine...easy set up too

Thanks for the tip.I actually ended up getting the AP-220 for $650, Guitar Center had a $150 off coupon. That was less than Amazon has ever sold it so I jumped on it.$500 is a great price for the PX-130 with all the extras though... all you'd need is a stool, and maybe a cover for the keyboard to keep dust off when not playing.

I would say yes because of the value. But you must remember if your learning how to play those random squeaks can turn people away faster than nails on a chalk board. I would master playing before going electric. Every small error is vet prominent when amplified. Good luck still a great buy regardless.
