"Summary, has a learning curve. some things should have been worded better. And it needs a little TLC to operate better with some"

Feature:
Features are good. Has a learning curve on it. Can't argue about the price. with there was a midi in to preselect drum tables to start instead of toying with the right sets for a while. with the reset. All tables lost, no secondary storage. Wish the cymbal and the bass drum pads were equally available.

Quality:
I like it. It's not exactly show worthy. However, with the CD output with a computer. Just pipe into a mixer, and pump out a CD with preset tracks, and press play. CD player with a few guitarsists and a vocalist. And ready to rock'n roll. People are just lazy and whine about everything that it's not perfect.

Value:
for $60. I can't argue.

Desirability:
If you ain't talented enough to figure it out. Don't get one. Like cars are not meant for everyone.

Sound:
I like it. I'm experienced with drums, and personally played shows. payed $60 for it. drums natually do get minor resonance from other drums due to shock, yet there's ways to help reduce impact and cross triggering. DUH! naturally cymbals (spelling) has pads to cushin metal impact, toms have gels or some other cushing. And YES, YOU HAVE TO BANG THE DAMN DRUM TO GET THE RIGHT TONE, PITCH, AND REDUCE INTERFERANCE FROM OTHER PARTS OF THE DRUMS. What, expect it to work with a Q-Tip or something? I placed it on a soft surface underneath to help obsorb some shock. Got better tonage.

Ease of Use:
Had to read the manual a few times to get what they were trying to say. there is a learning curve to it.

Support:
parts for it are not as easily available. So I'll have to figure out how to get the cymbal and bass going somehow. Not hard.

Overall:
This model. I can't argue with. I tried out $2000 yamaha drum stations with full setups, and there's this. Lotsa people expect everything in a box. Out of all the products I've tried. Nothing is perfect. deal with it.

Sound:
Every time I hit the damn pads, I get cross triggering. The only way to pevent this is to pick it up and hold the bottom with one hand while striking the pads with the other.
