Jeff C a hobbyist user from Bryan/San marcos, TX USA writes:
I really really like mine. It is by far the BEST way to 'dive' into elctronic drum programming. The sequencer taught me so much about how to program and i easily applied this knowledge to so many more things. The sounds are nice, my main problem is mainly one only an advanced user would notice. I wish that there was an easier way to apply different volumes, colors, etc to certain drum sounds in a pattern other than using a completely new pad. if yer looking for an all around good machine, get this.

The sounds are OK [if you run them through enough effects], I just hate the fact that you can't save patterns onboard the machine. The programming is pretty easy and a couple of the kits are good for comedy value, but overall this thing is a good, cheap way to get into drum programming...

these things go CHEAP on ebay nowadays...a lot less than what i payed for mine. anyway, most of the drum sounds on here are great...put some effects on there and it's more than perfect. i use this for heavy industrial type stuff and the drum sounds hit really hard. it's punchy. it's good. it's cheap. it's so damn easy to use...not a bad deal.

Well...picked mine up mint from ebay for $150....not too shabby considering it was MINT..i thought it was your basic 4 crappy drum kits drum machine...but once i dived into it...it was great...there ARE 808 and 909 sounds on here, woohoo!! since it runs on batteries and is so small, i can fit this right on top o my keyboard, its great...perfect for live use..i cant believe this is sooo underrated...wow 5 outta 5

Sounds pretty good for sort of "standard" e-drum sounds... I use it in conjunction with samples and other drum box's. To save your settings it must have batteries, when the batteries go your settings go... I find it usefull for adding instant drums to a sketch.. cool and worth $150, but not more (I got mine free...Thats really why I love it!)
