3It plays great, but cymbals cut out early...  Mar 26, 2008
It plays great! I use it, plus a predecessor of it, at my brother's place, in band practice.

My only complaint about it is that, when I am playing, and use the "crash cymbals" for emphasis, then keep playing, the "crash" almost immediately cuts out. I don't think "The predecessor" cuts out like this.

(I can't remember the number, but it is a Yamaha. I got it at Costco)

Also, the top-right pad can hardly be heard. I have this same problem with the predecessor.

However, all-in-all, it's a good product!!!


4Good beginning drum kit  Mar 02, 2008
Some pros: The kit includes many music samples from various genres. You can turn on and off the melody and listen to different combinations of the kit (e.g., just the snare, the snare plus the cymbals, the snare plus the cymbals plus the bass drum) and play with the programmed samples until you want to play solo with the melodies. There is a tempo button so you can slow things down, get the hang of the rhythm, and then speed things up to the default tempo. The pads have dozens of adjustments and sound variations. With the very large number of presets, one has many different kit types (i.e., the 7 pads plus two pedals can play many different drum and other percussion instrument sounds).

Some cons: The built-in speakers leave much to be desired. Playing through an amp is okay. Although the sensitivity of the pads can be adjusted and the amount of force the drummer provides alters the volume of the drum sound, simultaneous drum strikes can result in some drum sounds not being activated.

Overall...pretty cool kit for the price.

WEll I have to be honest...I thought this would be way cooler than it is. I got it for Christmas, and.....I don't know, we'll see. The problem is the sounds aren't very real (especially the cymbals,) and the pedal doesn't react properly. Sometimes I click down on it with no reaction. Sometimes it triggers too early or twice. If it weren't for the pedal though, I would think this was okay...

I plan on trying it out on MIDI really soon and seeing about having it trigger my propellerhead reason samples. But so far this isn't as cool as I was hoping it would be.

Great drum machine. Chose this item because it was realistic compared to a real drum set. Plenty of options, without the noise.

4This is a lot of fun!  Sep 14, 2007
We set up a music studio for friends and family to enjoy (instead of all that TV and movie time). This instrument offers an opportunity for others, who may not have an instrument, to join the fun! When it is plugged into the PA it has a "real" sound. I'm gradually learning what it can do, and I've even bought a book of how to play the drum. It's a worthy instrument for our studio.
