Overall:
I just spent week with my new handsonic and I must say I'm quite impressed with how well it simulates hand drums from off center hits to rims slaps. I can't see how Roland could make there positional sensors any better. This thing feels and sounds WAY more like a hand drum then I thought it would!! I could mute or push on one of the pads to simulate tension on the drum to change the pitch .. COOL!!! This is after all why I bought the unit but what I didn't realize is the array of "extras" that comes with this and when I say tons I mean tons !!For starters there is tons of background tracks that you can groove along with and there's a couch section that will give you different rhythms to practice out.. I'm admittedly not the best percussionist so I found that I used this section of the coach more then any of the others, it

Feature:
THE VAIRABLE METRONONE PATTERNS ARE EXCITING, PROVOKING AND FUN ! Ease of use ? I used it on a job 2 days after receiving it.I only wish the hi hat pedal function as used on the HPD-15 was incorporated. I reccomended it to several friends.
