Drums Without the Decibels
Compact, and absolutely class.
Acoustic drums are glorious—but in a flat they can be nightmare fuel. Between paper-thin walls and cranky neighbours, traditional kits just don’t work for a lot of practice. That’s where Donner electronic drum kits shine. They're quiet, compact, practice-friendly, and packed with feature-rich modules that put tone and finesse at your fingertips. They are also, surprisingly affordable.
We’ve got three exciting models in stock — each loaded with pads, pedals, headphones, and a throne for instant play. Read on and pick your favourite.
The perfect starter kit - The Donner DED-70

Why you’ll love it: Perfect for newbies or small spaces. Plug in, plug headphones, and play away without turning your home into a cacophonous hellscape.
