Critic Reviews

Ddrum Reflex: Drums Reviewed | DRUM! Magazine

drummagazine.com

The DDrum Reflex Kit impresses with its unique alder shells, offering a sharp attack and short sustain reminiscent of birch. The standout Ice Sparkle finish and professional specs make it a visually stunning and affordable option for gigging drummers. While the kit excels in sound, especially the snare, some issues like cheaper drumheads and rough bearing edges are noted but reportedly addressed in newer models. Despite minor setbacks, the Reflex series provides a compelling blend of aesthetics and performance for those on a budget.

DDRUM Reflex drum kit review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The DDrum Reflex Kit impresses with its stunning aesthetics and solid build quality, featuring a chrome wrap and innovative Face-Off lugs. While the kit's sound potential is noteworthy, its high price point is a sticking point, especially since it requires an immediate head change to achieve its best tonal quality. Compared to other brands and even DDrum's superior ranges, the Reflex seems costly. The bass drum delivers a powerful low-end punch, but the snare's sensitivity is limited near the edges, and the overall package lacks stands. An attractive option for its looks and materials, yet not the most cost-effective choice.

Close enough

The closest thing to my kit that I could find. I only use one high tom, but it came with two high toms and two floor toms, as opposed to the one floor tom in the photo.

Zyon Cavalera uses a DDrum Reflex Kit. At 0:28 in the Digital Tour Bus video titled "Zyon Cavalera (of Soulfly & Lody Kong) - GEAR MASTERS (Revisited) Ep. 45," he states, "I play ddrum Drums. This is a Reflex series. They just sent me this for this tour, so I'm just getting used to it but I love it so far. ddrum makes great quality equipment and super easy to play. This is a 12" (rack tom), this is a 13" (rack tom), and this is an 18" (floor tom)... I asked for a 24" kick but they didn't have that at the moment, so I got a 22" (kick drum) but I always just prefer bigger drums."
