Feature:
Really cool. Love the Aux-In for iPods and love the click track. Helped me keep beet better. Love the midi-in for making kits on the computer. Just GREAT!!! This kit includes yamaha's most complex snare drum and high-hat which is sweet.

Quality:
Two Words: Great Quality

Value:
Great Value. Everything you'd want on a drum kit.

Desirability:
First layed eyes on tis product, I new it would be sturdy, complex and have quality sound. Who cares aout colors. It's an electric drum kit.

Sound:
The sound on this thing is gorgeous! I love the fact that you can change the woods of the kit because it makes a big difference.

Ease of Use:
Looked Hard at first, but when I got my hands on it, was easy. Looks easier to work then you think. Had it for about two days now and can almost work everything except the user kits and haven't tried aux-in.

Support:
Haven't had to worry and don't think i will.

Overall:
Couldn't have been hapier with this product.

Feature:
Very nice features and the module is very good in this price range. I have owned an Alesis DM4, Roland TD8, TD10, and TD20 and this module rates with all of them. The TD8 was my favorite.

Quality:
Quality is very good for a unit in this price range. I have played and owned both Roland and Hart Dynamics and I'd rank this higher than all of their kits in this price range, no competition!

Value:
If you're in the market for an electronic drum kit that is a higher end than the basic kits available but can't afford the $3500-$5000 kits (who can?) then this is the kit. Highly recommend.

Desirability:
Not as eye appealing as the top of the line Roland or Hart Dynamics but the price sure is! This kit looks great fro the price and the hihat really sells it as a drum kit.

Sound:
The sounds are very good and the pads and cymbals trigger flawlessly. The only complaint is the hihat, gotta work sometimes to get the open hat trigger. As good as the Roland V12 hats though for a lot less pennies!

Ease of Use:
Plays right out of the box, what else can I say?

Support:
Haven't had any problems with kit but when I wanted to find out about adding another tom pad they assisted me very promptly.

Overall:
I plan on having this kit a long time. Perfect to practice on, record with, and play into the wee hours of the night. When I gig I use my acoustic kit but if room was very scarce I would have no problem gigging with this kit.

Feature:
The hardware is very good, Hi-hat stand is good quality. The rack is very durable. It's definitely not cheap-quality.

Quality:
I have not gigged with this kit yet, although I see no reason not to... I have played it for about a Month now and can see no real wear , My kids have also played it without any ill effects.

Value:
I believe the price charged is way too cheap for this drumset. Honestly I don't know how Z-sounds can sell equipment this cheaply... I also have to say to Parents if you are looking to buy this set- Don't hesitate it's worth the money!!! I bought this set mainly because of the price- I wanted Rolands but who has that kind of money?? And the Yamaha's deliver great sound at a realistic price!

Desirability:
Color choice would be nice- Gray is boring, but hey for the price who cares!

Sound:
Just getting back to playing after an extended hiatus, Sounds are very good... much better than when I was playing gigs 4 nights a week back in the 80's and 90's. Also i own an original Simmon's kit from 1982 and the Simmons pads work with the Yamaha unit flawlessly. Although who needs them when Yamaha's pads feel so much better and respond MUCH better. The hi-hats are very realistic in sound and appearance. as are all the cymbal sounds. This kit is great right out of the box.

Ease of Use:
This product is again- great out of the box , I have 20 plus years of playing behind me . And I know good equipment when I see it, Hear it , and play it. That is why I own this kit!

Support:
Haven't had to deal with Yamaha, so I really can't say.

Overall:
I will own this kit for some time- Heck I still have my Simmon's SD-S9 and pads!!!!! Eventually I will pony up the dough for the Roland kit, but I will keep the Yamaha anyways...
