Sound: By far the most natural sounding of electronic kits. Other's play better I will admit, but this kit transfers to tape and through a pa system like no other. That is providing you chose good sounds with which to play! I have heard these sound bad purely because the drummer in question had no sense of good and bad when it comes to drum samples to play. Feature: It's a kit you play, nothing more. No sequencers, effects, "modeling" nada! Though there are enough outputs to use external effects, they tend to be better than what's on modules anyway. Sound editing it restricted to pitch and decay, but that can REALLY change a sound dramatically. I found the best way, preview a sample, if it's good, use it! End of story. Ease of Use: Sample changes, ie if you want to load new sounds and dump off old sounds. The memory is small so this you'll no doubt have to do. The process is easy, just a little time consuming. The brain is easy to program and to use. Once you have set up the pads optimum gain, threshold levels, it plays well. You might find the sensitivity on toms will be a bit on the heavy side if you don't want false triggering from surrounding pads. Quality: The pads and brain are made very well. Had mine 9 years and it's never failed on me. I have had to change a piezo once in the kick drum, but like I say, 9 years heavy playing! The problem now about owning one and the piece of mind about getting replacement parts etc is that the manufacturing of it changed hands in 2005 and the new owners do not make it anymore. Value: I would say so, I have owned one and tried all the others and I always go back to this for the sound. It doesn't play quite as well as the others, but the sound makes up for that in my opinion. Manufacturer Support: Clavia the company that designed and made it were excellent. Armadillio the new ones, I have heard nothing but bad reports of the lack of service. I The Wow Factor: It was better looking when it was Red on Grey, but the Black on Black with the SE mesh version didn't float my boat at all.
