Alesis DM5 £370

If you can live with rubber pads, the affordably-priced DM5 kit is a decent deal

The DM5 kit is a relatively compact set-up – something that will be a real boon to bedroom bashers

    I have to add that the DM pro kit isnt quite as quiet as many would think. Though the pads are significantly quieter than acoustic drums I would say avoid playing these pads late at night if you have neighbours ;-) Also another thing I will point out is that you need to zero in on an area to get the trigger to respond loud enough - Alesis could overcome this by doing what percussion manufacturers do (say if you buy tabla) and place a black spot on the sweetspot. Other than that I think it beats Roland's cheapest eKit for sounds and options and price
