"Worst buy I have ever made. It is a rip off!!"

Feature:
No accessories included. Unless you consider the manual. And it sucks like the module.

Quality:
Well the case is good! But the rest is very poor.

Value:
It is over rated for quality, dependablity, and support! I'm about ready to tape a nickle to mine and throw it away so it would be worth something!

Desirability:
If it worked it would just be great!

Sound:
It has a lot of sounds. But none that are worth using!

Ease of Use:
The channel dial is worthless it skips, goes backward, find every thing but the selection you want! Just about every time I power up use this piece of junk I have to reinitialize it and then have to reset my previous selections.

Support:
Problem started as soon as warranty was out of date! They told me to take it to a aurthorized repair shop in Dallas, TX. What a joke! They had it a week an could not find a problem. Cost me $100 plus just to be told no problem found. But for some reason I still have same problem almost EVERY TIME I turn it on!

Overall:
Only a dummy would steal this junk! And if it was stolden or if I lost it I sure would not buy another one!!

Feature:
The high hat works great once you get it set up and the dual stereo outputs make it great for paning the drums and leaving the cymbols snare and kick out frount

Quality:
I've had one for 7 years and want to add another one for more drums never had a problem out of it yet

Value:
I paid $600 for the one I have and at this price they should go quick

Desirability:
after its all set up it is like sex you'll see

Sound:
Ever wondered how they get that great sound at the live shows, it is thru digital prossesing. The Dmpro has that great sound and its always ready when you are. No more hours of set up time for the drummer and we all no about that, just make shure that you use a good trigger for each drum and your ready. The snare and kick will blow you away

Support:
Had a few questions about the highhat setup with a yamaha pedal and they sovled it in seconds they were great

Overall:
I have to give it a 10 because I am a technical person and understand the whole hookup of the system, some would say its to much to fool with only because they just want to play and dont care what it sounds like
