I probably will always have this product and would purchase it again if anything were to happen to it. It satisfies all my percusive needs.

I use this machine in my home studio. People that have heard my demos are usually surprised that the drum and percussion sounds heard are coming from a machine! Very good all around.

This really has all the features I was looking for in a protable machine. I really like the fact that you can basically plug and play.
