Customer Feedback-
"The hardware is very good, Hi-hat stand is good quality. The rack is very durable. It's definitely not cheap-quality." - Actual User Review - Zzounds.com "This module comes with actual sampling of Yamaha drums such as the oak, maple, and beech custom models. Customizing your own kits couldn't be easier and the drums really do have a great sound." - Actual User Review - Samedaymusic.com "I have had this kit for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it! Everything is high quality and works perfectly. I also recommend getting the MS50DR stereo monitor system, which mounts on the drum rack to hear your drums in stereo when you want to play without the headphones. I love this drum kit and I can't stop talking about it!" - Actual User Review - Amazon.com "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 Yamahas most complex snare drum and high-hat which is sweet." - Actual User Review - Zzounds.com |
