Feature:
I bought the entire TD6 V kit and it came with everything that you could possibly need to get started minus throne/BD pedal/sticks.
I love the new rack system that come with the kit, but there are still some stability issues. I found that owning a riser and attaching the legs via plastic ties really reduces the shake that you get when playing.
I also would reccomend at least a $150 set of headphones as they make such a difference.
Quality:
When you hit Tom1, sometimes it creates a cymbal sound. There are ways to fix this, but you would think they would have figured it out by now and fixed it.
Other than that, I have played this thing at many a gig and have to say that everything is holding up quite well.
Value:
I paid 1100 for the entire kit so in my eyes this was well worth it. Considering a decent acoustic kit will run about the same it was a no brainer to me.
Desirability:
Although I would rather have all mesh heads and one of the new HH controllers that mount to a hi-hat stand, this set just looks fun. It is a little dorky when you show up for a live show, but the sounds you can get out of this thing is unbelievable on a good PA. Plus you no longer have to be carefull about drowning out other instruments, just wave at the sound engineer and let him know whats up.
Sound:
Great sounds are in this module, it's just a matter of finding them and creating your own kits. Out of the box there are 6 good kits, but with some tinkering you can have about 14 really nice yet different sounding kits.
if you like to play lightly, you will find some problems with your light playing corelating to the output.
Ease of Use:
the module is great and allows for some fine tuning once you understand what sound you are looking for. When they say drummer friendly interface, they mean it. The manual does get into the meat of the product, and there are also some great online help.
Support:
Never had to deal with support excluding that tom1 issue, they pointed me to a website that wasn't even theirs. Granted I got the info I needed.
Overall:
I have had this for more than a year and expect to be playing it untill the day they pry a drumstick from my cold dead hand. If you are looking for a reasonably priced electro kit look no further. The yamaha's I have played in this same price range don't hold up as well, and I could never get the snare sounds out of them as I do with the TD6V.
