"this thing is sweet ....almost a year old too"

Quality:
quality is fair the rack isnt made of the most durable sht but if ure not a menace than managing it shld b easy

Value:
value is awsome ... no 1 like dropin 2 k $ on a set but considering what roland is charging this is def. the move

Desirability:
shes a beauty for sure u cant go wrong with this

Sound:
the sound is great and what i pump it through makes it even better lol

Ease of Use:
very cool if u know trigger mods.. they all have the same set up this brain is def cool stuff from the inside but the plastic body is what u wanna b cool wit dont drop it <3

Support:
glad to say ive not needed any support that a good ol system reboot couldnt fix so thats a 10

Overall:
roland may have the leading name but if u already play on a real drum set and just need something to play at home this is what u want right here

""I have over 50 complete drum kits in my bedroom and still have room for a bed"!"

Feature:
Love that Ive had it a year and still learning all the functions and features. Just now starting to play around with the bells and whistles. Wish the base pad was bigger diameter, but it does the trick. The stands, mounts, and clamps are good quality. The skeleton's (rack) durability is yet to be determined as i have not moved it since set up. I love the snare (12") being independant on a stand instead of attached to the frame!

Quality:
Cant complain about anything, as nothing has broken, cracked, scratched, dented, or deteriorated.. And Portnoy I am not, so there have been more than a few fractured sticks on the cymbal hubs, and pad frames. Multiple triggers on the ride and #1 crash, and the rims of all toms allows for a Neil Peart type of set up if thats what u desire! kick pad is starting to show wear from felt banger

Value:
Over five grand for a Roland, and around 2 for the DTExtremeIIS. I used to be a "Demo Rat" at the music store playing the high end Roland kit. I like my Yamaha better, and only visit the store now to buy accessories.

Desirability:
Its a little techno in appearance, and some brass color (bottoms if anything) on the cymbals on any electronic kit would appeal to a rocker style of drummer to give it a authentic look. But the rack, snare and toms look awesome. Rack allows for a banner or other band name and still displays the "Yamaha" logo, which also gives the kit instant credibility.

Sound:
The authentic acoustic sounds are high end. The only knock is the cymbal(s) triggers need more sensitivity at the default level. kind of a hassle to keep adjusting sens/trggr for every kit used. Can cause me to really hit the cymbals hard to ensure ther are no "dead spots" durng play. But other than that, New Acoustic,Maple,Beech,to Latin, African, Jazz, cant beat that variety of sounds in acoustic unless your a millionaire!

Ease of Use:
Set it up, plug it in, and play your a** off! endless practice time as headphones cure the noise, and drown out the wife! The clickety clacking of sticks and bangers on rubber only bugs the family, and not the neighbors. Plug cd player into input jack (conveniently located at front of the brain), control volume of input independant of your kit, and your a rock star!!

Support:
Deal with Dan at Gramma's Music and Sound in Albuquerque, no need to go further

Overall:
I will play this thing into the ground, and then pray Im good enough to buy another one. The Yamaha DTExtremeIIS is tops for at home practice and play, even if you prefer acoustic kits, because your hours of play only brings a ringing to your ears and not the cops at your door bell.
