Feature:
External kick drum controller requires that 1 pad be dedicated to kick drum. I believe that the hi-hat controller requires 2 pads (one open, one closed) but am waiting for confirmation on this. This uses up 3 pads instead of 1, leaving only 5 for other sounds.

Quality:
Experienced consistent mistriggering of snare

Value:
It is $250 cheaper than the Roland

Desirability:
'tis a silly question

Sound:
No complaints about sound quality.

Ease of Use:
No complaints about user interface. Pads have a solid feel and good bounce.

Support:
Didn't get the answers I was hoping for, but they answered my emails within a couple of days, and I had no trouble getting through on the phone on one occasion.

Overall:
It is going back from whence it came. I guess I have to save up for a more expensive unit, such as the Roland.
