I have the Arena2000. Love it!! Got it dialed in with a two-amp stereo setup. Sounds incredible.

Wow! I am really impressed with this Donner electric drum set. I am not a professional drummer, but I do have a pretty nice full set of drums, cymbals, etc that I like to play around with (see pic). I have had a couple electronic drum sets in the past that I eventually gave away, but this one is a keeper. Being the guy that I am, of course I started playing around with this Donner drumset before reading the instructions. I was disappointed that the bass drum was too loud and the trigger was too sensitive, a cymbal was too soft and I couldn't hear myself play with the built-in songs because the drums in the song were too loud. Guess what? After I read the instructions, I was able to adjust the volume and trigger sensitivity of each drum and cymbal, and turn the drums in the songs off so all my concerns were resolved. There are a bunch of other parameters that can be adjusted, but I have no idea what they are for, like crosstalk threshhold, drum plate power curve, repeat trigger adjustments. It would have been nice if the instructions gave some idea of what these adjustments are for. There is no built-in speaker, so they work great with headphones. There is an option to plug in an external speaker, but you need one with a built-in amplifier. I like this drumset so much that I did buy a special speaker specifically made for electronic drumsets. I connected my small, portable cd player to it and it worked great to play along with my favorite bands. Now I can play around with drumming and not disturb my wife when she has company, is reading her book, or watching TV, etc. For under $200 this is a great deal for this Donner Beat Go Electronic Drum Set.
The DED-80 is the prefect set for a small gig or daily practice. I use the Donner DDA-20 drum amp next to me as a monitor connected to the DDA-35 drum amp in front, the DDA-20SE for voice and my iPhone for the music track. Donner’s after-the-sale service is great if you have any issues. Can’t beat the value for the money.
Thanks for @nwdakademi
Donner DDP-75 Flip-Top Sleek Gloss‑Black Upright Digital Piano
This is my second Donner guitar. I also have the Hush X which I love. I am continually impressed by Donner instruments. I am historically a Fender and Japanese Ibanez guy. For the price I am blown away at the quality and sound of this instrument. The features are great and getting a roasted maple neck at that price point is definitely a shift in guitar manufacturing. I think, for me at least, that Donner is setting a new standard for instruments at this price point.
This keyboard is truly fantastic. I'm a beginner and I was searching for a piano that sounded warm and "right" and I've found it. It is a beautiful designed piece that looks so great in my living room. Assembly was very easy. I really love how the keys rings and feel like. I've been playing every day since I got it and it sounds beautiful.
I play at the senior center with my tablet and needed it for page turning. No more swiping in the middle of a song. I love it and the price wasn't bad.
Came with low action and light tension strings. Easier to play than even my flamenco guitar.
Execelente controlador liviano práctico Y económico con buenos Daw todo para aprender y crear musica desdes el mismo momento que descargas execelente por Donner por poner en nuestra manos equipo que cumplen con las necesidades de sus usuarios fácil de utilizar
My piano came yesterday I love it! 😍
This guitar was just what I was looking for, it's just the right size for me to use when I just want to play and practice when I am sitting on my recliner. Happy with purchase!
The bench adjustment knob came chipped upon arrival. The bench is also not wide enough for two average-sized adults, which is disappointing since it is marketed as a duet bench.
No set up required. I love the color and the neck. I will post a video later.
Pedal opening closing doesn’t work and need to return it.
Shipping is an absolute disaster! They use FEDEX!! As soon as I got the email it shipped and saw it was FEDEX I knew it would arrive damaged in some way. This was a birthday present for my daughter's 10th Birthday, what a shame. The only reason I gave 2 stars is because it did turn on and work and the sound is great, but the quality of the frame and shipping ruins the whole piano. Customer service seems to be non-existent, sent an email and received no response. No phone number to call and actually speak with someone, just an email which is terrible when you are trying to resolve an issue. As much as went spent on this a little more care in packing and shipping would have been nice. I guess I will just have to start a return. Since they can't respond to emails to try and correct these issues, if they can even be corrected. Heed the warnings! I am not sure how anyone can give 4-5 star ratings, unless Donner picks and chooses who they send good products and great shipping too.
It’s a great fit for gaming system
Used it in my Roland TD-20. Seems pretty sturdy and served the purpose.
very stable and holds a good amount of weight. the foam on the base is thick and doesn't stay too flat from the shape of what is mounted. not just for guitars as you can see.
I was looking for something to hold my sheet music other than the traditional floor stand that I have, as I wanted to have less clutter on the floor. This ended up attaching perfectly to the Rockville ZMS microphone stand attachment on my keyboard’s Rockville Z stand. The Donner clamps onto the vertical tube of the mic stand and has plenty of adjustments to get the sheet music positioned wherever it works best. I am also very impressed with how high the quality is of the Donner sheet music holder. It is constructed with very nice heavy duty metal.
We live in a small apartment and my son wanted to upgrade his tiny lap drum set to a full electric set. So pardon our mess but I wanted to show you how it folds up.SETUP:My 12 year old decided to assemble it himself. I was definitely intimidated and didn't want to spend hours assembling this thing because I work from home and very busy. But he took over and I only had to help him here or there he didn't realize it came with a KEY that loosens and tightens all the pipes that connect. It really wasn't that hard to figure out but we had to use common sense as the instructions were very MINIMAL. However-1 day after we built this thing someone uploaded a video on youtube on how to assemble it!!! So go find it and watch them do it. The kick assembly wasn't making a lot of sense but we figured it out (the 2 parts connect at the bottom)PLAY / AUDIO / BLUETOOTH:It's good but it needs an AMP or headphones. I like listening to my son play AND critique him once in a while so although I first tried a JAX little speaker, the sounds was awful and one dimensional. We ended up buying a drum AMP. It's big and heavy but it's necessary. Connecting audio to it was complicated as the instructions didn't explain anything at all!!! So i reached out to donner customer service which took them a whole week to reply so I will attach their reply here but I'll summarize as well: You cannot play your drumming to a bluetooth speaker. You must connect via audio jax to a speaker or amp or headphones. I figured out a way to connect our TV via JAX to the AMP and the drumset to the AMP so my son watches his drum songs w/ sheet music on the TV and the audio from both play on the amp.BLUETOOTH:you can play music INTO the drum set so that the drummer can hear their DRUMS + SONG. that's the point of the bluetooth. It's not for putting your drums into a speaker. But there is a workaround as I mentioned above via amp / speaker.APP:Donner has 2 apps - still unclear of their main purpose but donner play has drum lessons in there which is cool and some songs u can play. NOW again i think it's hard to watch a tiny phone and play drums so my son puts everything on the TV. We will try to screen share to the TV from my phone and then have our TV connect to the amp via audio JAX so that should work.PUTTING IT AWAY:a bit annoying but it works. AGAIN no instructions on how to fold it. You have to basically flip all drums /toms UP or DOWN and the poles have to be folded in a Z shape (one to the back, one to the front) not like a trifold / book. And as you see in my photo it still takes up a lot of space and we cannot hide it sine we have ZERO closets in our apartment. So if you have a bigger space with a closet then you're good to go but it's a bit heavy to carry back and forth plus the AMP and wires etc. So we keep it tucked RIGHT NEXT to our TV which is where my son plays. We specifically chose this model because it's foldable and although it's still quite large and heavy it works. Whatever gets my son to actually want to practice is what matters, he really hated his last drum set and got tired of it (PYLE PTE D01)I hope this helps! I'll also add a video of how we connect it to our TV and amp when I get a chance!FROM DONNER ABOUT BLUETOOTH:1. **Connecting a mobile device to the drum module**You can use the wireless function to transfer audio from a mobile device to the DED-100 module. For example, you can play music from a music app on your phone/tablet and hear it through the drum module while playing the drums.2. **Don-MIDI connection**If you would like to use the MIDI function, please open the Bluetooth function in the relevant app and search for the Bluetooth device named **“DEDAUDIO(MIDI)”**. Select it to connect. Once the connection is successful, the Bluetooth indicator on the drum module will light up.Please note that there may be some wireless latency when using the Bluetooth function.Also, please note that the electronic drum set cannot connect to or play audio through a Bluetooth speaker. The Bluetooth function is intended for connecting the drum module with compatible mobile devices/applications rather than Bluetooth speakers.We hope this clarifies how the Bluetooth function works. If you have any questions about the connection process, please feel free to let us know.
I was looking for an acoustic guitar to practice fingerpicking and flatpicking. I've changed my musical direction from hard rock to Bluegrass. I saw a review on Utube about Donner's full sized acoustic electric guitar. It was such a great review that I bought one for myself. Well,I sure wasn't disappointed. This is one of the best purchases I've ever made. I like all the extras that come with it. I was surprised how much I liked the tuner. I have Fender and D'ddario tuners and I like this one better. I don't need to worry about this guitar going out of key because it stays in tune very well. I'm not constantly tuning it up. The sheer feel of playing is great! It's very comfortable to play. I'm used to leaving a guitar out so I'm ready to practice at anytime. I changed the guitar that I leave on a stand from my Fender dreadnaught body guitar to the Donner. It just is more comfortable to play. It also sounds very nice playing through the amplifier. It's not a bad little amplifier considering it came with the whole package. Sometimes add-ons are kind of crappy, but I wasn't disappointed with the amplifier. This guitar is so nice to play, I'm practicing a whole lot more than I would normally do. I highly recommend this guitar to anyone. I would say it also qualifies as a gig instrument, because it sounds so good.
Donner Full Size Acoustic Electric Guitar with Amplifier 41 Inch for Beginner Intermediate
I have been really happy with the Donner HUSH X LIVE. In my opinion, everything about this guitar is great. It's compact, sounds good, and plays well. The main reason I got it was so I wouldn't need to be plugged into power all the time or have a bulky amp taking up space, and it does that perfectly. I only play at home, and it's been exactly what I wanted for that.There are quite a few pieces to put together, and since this is my first electric guitar, the setup was a little confusing at first. That said, it wasn't bad at all once I figured it out, and it didn't take long.However, my one complaint is the handle, and it's the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. One side of it comes loose when I carry the guitar by it and partially detaches from the body (see photo). It's not a dealbreaker and doesn't affect how the guitar plays, but it's something to be aware of, especially if you plan on moving it around a lot.Aside from that, I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a compact, quiet guitar to play at home without a big amp setup.
It works! This is quite the simple set up, pretty much hook up the transmitter into your mic and the receiver into your source, which could be mixer board speaker that has an XLR input and then instantly you have a wireless microphone. Pretty much you just choose a normal microphone that does not require 48 phantom power and then you are good. There was no interference. I have nothing but good things to say.As well, it came with a very nice case with two slots for each, both the transmitter and the receiver portion and keeps it nicely.Everything came through clean working fine for these reasons I give it a five star rating.
I’ve been really enjoying this electronic drum kit because it feels much closer to an acoustic setup than cheaper beginner kits I’ve tried before. The mesh snare has a responsive feel and the dual-zone feature makes practice more realistic. I also appreciate having an independent kick drum and standalone hi-hat because it gives better control and technique development. The sound quality is solid and there are plenty of kit options to experiment with during practice sessions. Assembly took a little time, but everything felt sturdy once set up properly. Overall, this is a great drum set for intermediate players or anyone wanting a more serious practice setup at home. The material is great! I can tell its made well and also the drum is sturdy and has stability even during long sessions. Great value for the price!
Donner DED-200 PRO Electronic Drum Set with Independent Hi-Hat Stand
Great product , great service 👍 !
I was very surprised by what I really got when I got this. I was thinking I needed a receiver, but it has one. So, to test this I connected an XLR Mic to the transmitter, then connected an XLR cable to the receiver and plugged the cable into my standard guitar amp. Now you can hear me at the end of the video.So, my point in my test was to test the ability of the set to work, and it did perfect, so I can take this Donner set with me and my guitar and amp and I have my own little one man band.I am a fan of Donner and this work great right out of the box and it uses a standard USB-C charging cable. I was surprised with how easy the transmitter and receiver connected, just a push of the power button, and it worked.Donner has another happy customer.My use for this is simple, mostly at gatherings with my friends, so my testing was to that ability.
I got this wireless XLR transmitter and receiver expecting a convenient way to cut down on cables. What I got was a surprisingly useful little setup that lets me move around with a microphone without dragging a cable across the stage like I’m setting up an obstacle course.The system supports both condenser and dynamic microphones, and the 48V phantom power is a major plus for condenser mics. That makes it much more versatile than a basic wireless adapter that only works with one type of microphone. Plug it into a mixer, PA system, camera, or other compatible audio equipment, and it gives you a lot of flexibility for live performances, presentations, rehearsals, and recording setups.The 24-bit/192kHz audio support helps keep the sound clear, while the approximately 5ms latency is low enough that I didn’t feel like my voice was arriving fashionably late. The 2.4GHz connection was straightforward to use, and the six available channels are helpful when you’re working with multiple wireless units or trying to avoid interference.The advertised 100-foot range is especially useful for larger rooms, small venues, and stage setups. Of course, walls, other wireless devices, and the general laws of physics can affect the actual range, but within a reasonable setup, it gives you plenty of freedom to move around.Is it going to make every venue sound like a perfectly treated recording studio? No. This transmitter cannot defeat bad acoustics, questionable gain staging, or the person who insists on standing directly in front of the speaker. But for anyone looking for a flexible wireless XLR solution with low latency, clear audio, phantom power, and multiple channels, this is a very practical addition to a live audio setup.Just be warned: once you stop tripping over microphone cables, you may start noticing all the other things onstage waiting to trip you.
The weighted hammer keys feel just like an acoustic piano. Great for daily practice!

Donner DDP-75 Flip-Top Sleek Gloss‑Black Upright Digital Piano
Great full size keyboard
Donner DDP-75 Flip-Top Sleek Gloss‑Black Upright Digital Piano
This keyboard has been a lot of fun to use! I like that it has the full 88 keys, so there’s plenty of room to practice. The different tones and rhythms are fun to play around with and the keys have a nice feel. The speakers are surprisingly good, and having the stand, pedal, music holder, and carrying bag included makes the whole setup really convenient. I also like that it can connect through USB MIDI, which is great if you want to use it with a computer. Overall, it’s a durable, lightweight, beginner-friendly keyboard - a nice option if you want everything you need in one package.
Great value for the student if piano. Very simple assembly, comes with a foot pedal, and has a bunch of different tones. May cheaper than the bigger name keyboards that are much more complicated. This keyboard gives you what you need without a bunch of unnecessary features. I’d like to review it further, but the kids are on it constantly! Can I get a turn?! BL: great value
A Fantastic Beginner Piano That My Family Is Actually Excited to Use
The Donner DEP-07 is a great keyboard for beginners and anyone looking for an affordable 88-key setup. The semi-weighted keys feel comfortable and responsive, making it easy to practice for longer periods without the keys feeling too heavy. The sound quality is surprisingly nice, and having 500 different tones gives you plenty of options to experiment with. I also like that it comes as a complete package with the stand, sustain pedal, music rest, carrying bag, and built in speakers. Everything is fairly straightforward to set up, so you can start playing without needing to purchase a lot of additional accessories. The USB MIDI connection is another useful feature, especially if you want to connect the keyboard to a computer for recording, music production, or learning software. The 128-note polyphony is also a nice addition at this price point. Overall, the DEP-07 is a solid, versatile 88-key keyboard with a good balance of features, sound, and value. I would definitely recommend it for beginners, students, or anyone who wants a practical keyboard for home practice.
I've bought quite a few Donner guitars and basses over the last several years, and unfortunately, the HLX-500 is the first one where I really don't feel like I got my money's worth. The experience started poorly with shipping. Donner used a third-party service with vague tracking that only showed the package "moving through the network," with no delivery date. I had to contact Donner myself before they gave me the last-mile carrier information and an actual delivery date. That's a definite downgrade from my previous Donner purchases shipped through FedEx, where I knew when my guitar was arriving. The guitar itself is beautiful and comfortable, but some of the cost-cutting is hard to overlook. I replaced the bridge pickup almost immediately because the stock pickup was surprisingly weak, especially with high-gain tones. For a headless guitar that's likely to appeal heavily to metal players, I expected much better electronics. The body is also extremely light and the wood feels very soft and easy to damage. Meanwhile, companies like EART are selling headless guitars around this price with mahogany bodies, stainless steel frets, and other more premium features. I've had great luck with Donner in the past, but the competition has really stepped up. The HLX-500 isn't a bad guitar, but at this price I expected better materials, electronics, and overall value. Unfortunately, this experience makes me less likely to choose Donner for my next guitar.
Incredible sound, and so easy to set up:)))
Thanks for @gaelfloreess
The speaker crackles at high volumes and I used my guitar modeler and it’s no good at high volume. Also music playback is low via Bluetooth. The reason I purchased this speaker is because I was so impressed with the Donner Go mini guitar speaker that small speaker is louder than this one. Now that is a great little speaker that’s why I had high hopes on this speaker. But I can’t say anything nice about this speaker sorry!
I recieved it in good condition the neck was straight with slight relief. I did set the intonation. It plays and sounds good. I consider it a good deal. Company is very nice for a online purchase.
Thanks for @Laura Geraldine
