Customer Reviews
 really close but how could they have missed ????

“It is what they say it is, but I was disappointed when I learned...

there's no MIDI input so don't plan on using this as a midi drum sound module.

The external triggers for hat & bass are "momentary" switches not triggers (???). Don't plan on connecting any pads to trigger sounds. I find that fairly usless, ever tried playing a bass pattern on a switch? Read More

Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "No money for a complete electronic drum kit huh? Add on an Alesis Performance Pad for an instant change in your band's sound. I've played hundreds of shows and I have to say, I pay more attention to drummers using electronics. A lot of times it means their music is more unique."
