Had to help interpret the manual as it is not clear in all areas. Once he used it for a few days it seemed to do all he needed so I rate it a full 5 stars. Had a question for tech support and they answered email faster than most companies. Purchased for my son. Had to help interpret the manual as it is not clear in all areas.

If you're looking to purchase an inexpensive drum machine, look no further than this bad boy!

It's intuitive and easy to use after a breif parusal of the manual. I was suprised that the unit's housing was as durable as it was when I opened the packaging. I use it as a *much better* substitue for a metronome when practicing as well as helping me during the songwriting phase. Decent selection of samples with more than acceptable quality given the price point. <br />Combined with a Pocket POD, it's great for portable practice with an electric guitar as well. Any changes I would recommend would affect the price point so they're not worth mentioning. This drum module is the best value out there.

Easy to use is an understatement in terms of just creating a loop or playing it in real time. Touch sensitive pads provide at least a small amount of realism to the sound. Great for practicing against as a guitar/bass player! Love this thing, sounds great – nice, crisp and “Live”, though it can be a real pain to program in a whole song.

For bass and guitar players alike it can truely be invaluable during practices or for when the garage band is lacking a true drummer. Its fairly easy to program and lay down beats with, however its biggest downfall is a lack of quality drum sounds. Once you find or compile a set you like, you will have no need to use any of the other included ones because they are pretty crappy. <br /> <br />The batteries last for a long time but I always recommend picking up a generic phillips AC adapter for when you can play plugged in. Midi capabilities are nice for outputting sounds to a different device (IE Midi controller or PC interface) although most users will seldom use that feature. <br /> <br />Besides that, take the time to read and understand the manual, but if your looking for more realistic drum sounds, look elsewhere.
