Is it good for beginners or only experienced players?

It suits both, but buyers specifically praise it for experienced players. Beginners will appreciate the quiet operation and preset kits, though the pad feel may differ from acoustic drums.

The kit includes kick pad, three tom pads, snare, three cymbals, hi-hat pedal, rack system, and the TD-07 module. Sticks and throne are not included.

Can I expand the kit with extra pads or cymbals?

Expansion is limited; the module has inputs for additional pads but the rack and stand are designed for the included components. Check the TD-07 manual for compatible add-ons.

Does it work with drum software and recording setups?
