"A great way to improve your timing--no serious drummer can afford to be without it!"

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Sound:

The RMP-5 has a good variety of on-board sounds so you can play it like a mini- e-drum kit. I personally don't use it as an e-kit, but it gives me that option.

Feature:

This version of the Rhythm Coach has the best innovation yet: You can rate your accuracy over 4, 8, 16 or 32 bars. That innovation makes gauging your progress clear and easy. Also, having the "time check" feature "always on" makes it much more useful than the original Rhythm Coach. You now can "time check" yourself over several innovative exercises.

Ease of Use:

This Rhythm Coach unit is super easy to use. And . . .learning the different coach functions was a no-brainer. The manual is a solid reference that answered all of my questions.

Quality:

Arrived looking factory perfect. I also have the earlier version of the Rhythm Coach and it is still in great shape after four years of use. This one is just as sturdy as the original.

Manufacturer Support:

No basis for judgement.

Value:

If you are serious about being a better drummer then this is definitely worth the price, and you definitely need it. This device can help you time accuracy beyond anything you can imagine.

The Wow Factor:

It looks cool. The all-in-one design is eye catching.

Overall:

I have had my first Rhythm Coach for nearly five years. During that time I though of several ways to make it better. I guess Roland was thinking too, because the RMP-5 contained every one of the improvements I had thought about. It was definitely a leap forward from the first unit (which was a great innovation at the time). I'll keep using the RMP-5 till Roland comes up with the next version of the Rhythm Coach; I'm sure it will be worth it to upgrade, but for now, I have plenty of challenging timing practice ahead of me. And . . I use it every day. In just 4 weeks of use my objective accuracy score has already improved by 20%, and I can hear and feel that improvement in my playing.

"Great Tool in Roland RMP-5"

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Sound:

As many have read, this product is outstanding for practice and as a learning tool. It's easy to use and can be used in the house late at night. So many funtions and tools, it takes the monotony out of everyday practice. You can change up the sounds or add a kick and cymbal trigger to get some kit work in too. Great tool highly recommend

Feature:

requires a 9v battery, or you can purchase a power cord for roland/boss equipment to prevent wasting battery. It is portable so you can travel with it. Comes with a battery and drum key, all you need is sticks and you're ready to go.

Ease of Use:

Very user friendly, pretty much just click and play/practice.

Quality:

So far no issues with durability, I carry it all over and have dropped it too. It continues to function as advertised.

Manufacturer Support:

no support used so far

Value:

You can purchase an simple practice pad, but what you get for your money for the rmp-5 is well worth the cost. Shop around you can find some good deals on the rmp-5

The Wow Factor:

I believe this would make a great addition to any drummer/percussionists kit. Awesome tool.

Overall:

I believe I'll continue to use this to practice my chops and work on rythyms and syncopations with this thing. It's great
