Lemon T950 Review - The Alibaba Drum Set

Hi Justin,this is Nick from Lemon eDrums China,we really appreciate for the review for LEMON T950.The review is quite helpful to us,for pointing out the imperfection of the pads triggering and the module. We’re keep improving our production process,optimizing the sound module,trying our best to offer the most cost-effective and diversity Lemon products and full services to the drummers. Still we have a long way to go and thanks everyone for supporting us.

Thanks for the review! Nice, solid playing! Happy Drumming!!!

The E kit market is moving so fast. Real looking kits are coming down in price and can always be linked up to other sound sources. Can't wait to see what else comes onto the market soon!

I have a lemon snare and all lemon cymbals.paired with Td 17 module.a to e ..using extreme drum triggers.... No problems at all ,, I love em. Thank you Justin for all you do for the edrum community !😊

Dude all of the clips of you playing are fantastic. You've got some sick beats and chops!

Blegh, thanks for the info about these kits. I am actually impressed with what appears to be sincere interest in improving these issues, per the company in the comments.

Maybe the kit Justin was lent, was a lemon ,from lemon,(pun intended) sometimes things get missed in production, but doesn't mean that all products have imperfections. Just a thought

I've had this kit for over a year, and I'm on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. I would recommend it to 99% of people. Not a single drum module out there can produce the sounds that I can with Superior Drums or some custom made kits inside Logic. I would skip the $140 module and buy eDrumin 10 and trigger Superior, Logic, Kontakt, BFD or whatever you wish. I would also skip the 13" crashes and pay the extra $7-8 to upgrade to either 15" crashes or 18" rides to use as crashes. I lowered the tension on all of the mesh heads and my experience improved 10x with respect to triggering and nuanced playing. This is especially true for the kick drum. Also, I stuffed old couch cushions full of all the shells and noise pretty much disappeared. And last but not least, in Nov-Dec 2023 Lemon started putting 3ply mesh heads on their kits. The way you know is if the kick out head is a resonant head (not mesh) you have 3 ply mesh on all of the strike zones of the shells. Skip the module, skip the kick pedal, replace some cymbals with larger ones and this is pretty much a perfect, nearly a full size kit. I love that the kick isn't too deep which makes this kit, being full size, a perfect one to place in a smaller room..

I paired (some of) this kit with a TD27 and have had great results. Ordered the larger rack tom and 2x 13 inch floor toms, and i use their 18 inch ride as a big crash, plus the crashes. Combined with the Roland Digital Snare, Hi-Hats and Ride, it looks great and is good to play. I will keep an eye on the triggers now seeing what's happened to yours

GREAT review! for the price if you can get 'em, it looks like a gut the drums and replace triggers with UFODrums triggers, or some equivalent and use whatever module you desire other than the one it comes with. The kit looks nice IMO. Cheers!

Been waiting so lobmng for this

I can tell you Lemon is a solid brand. I myself have bought a few cymbals, a snare, tom and bass drum and I am so happy with them. Sorry, I should have continued but I forgot. Justin is right about everything he said. I bought the lemon brand mostly because of its looks and the price. It's not an expensive brand but yes, you do have to be careful with how you spend your money with them. They won't last as long as a Roland or Alesis. But the cymbals do bring a lot of excitement to the looks of the drums and for a great price, if I may say.

You GOTTA do the XD-2000 from HXM. I just got it, insane value for under $1000 (shipped!). It's the same exact kit as the Millenium MPS - 1000 from Thomann. Has a module with EIGHT line outs like an Alesis Strike Pro SE. Really interesting hi hat design that acts like a two piece in a one piece, and it's optical. Seems much better put together than this. Except for the cymbals... I've had a cosmetic issue with the cymbals, but even for the shells alone, it's more than worth it. To be fair, I used it with my eDrumin 10 and not the stock module (I'm the guy with the Dante setup you covered in another video), but I may try to set it up soon. Let me know if you have any questions. Wrote my comment before I saw the end of the video... lol. Also forgot to mention: - I'm not sure if the line outs on the HXM module are balanced; the seller said they're unbalanced. I haven't tested this out and would require an 8 channel DI box if true. - The HXM hi hat is optical. I've gotten it to TECHNICALLY of work on the eDrumin 10 (it would go through the entire range of the controller everytime I hit the pad with the pedal anywhere between closed and open), but I just use the GoeDrum controller underneath the HXM hi hat so I get the action of a two-piece hi hat pad. Even though the HXM hi hat is one piece, the design actually allows it so slosh around or stay put like a two-piece pad because of this weird ring on the bottom of the pad that sits on a little circular platform. I put the Goedrum underneath the platform with a tiny foam ring between them.

I use these pads with a Roland TD27 and I think it’s fantastic. The only issue I’ve run into is the floor tom rim trigger.

I have a full array of Lemon cymbals on my A TO E conversion kit they work great at a great price

I showed your review to Lemon and they said it was very helpful.

Lemon is doing things really well!!

I sold all my Roland crashes to help pay for my TD-27 kit. I kept the USB ride and hihat. I bought 4 lemon crashes. I didn't notice any difference from the crashes.

Citrus cleaner spray makes the sticky glue a jelly you can wipe out without scratching the wrap (which is super easy to scratch on these cheap sets) ...

Oh damn you got one! I've been wanting to pull the trigger on one just for the pads and pair it with a TD-17 module haha. Great vid, though I will skip it.
