ReviewsFeature:
All-in-one USB bus powered solution. Presently, there is nothing on the market to compare. Expandable via MIDI I/O and additional pedal/ trigger ins. Makes sense and works as advertised.
Quality:
Mine is perfect. Lightweight (a personal preference) but not so light as to be a problem. Stays put confidently on a flat surface. Note: case is plastic, so you're not going to want to bash mercilessly on it as if it were a real a drum (or a DK10 for that matter).
Value:
2 bills for a single piece of gear that gets the job done. That says it all.
Desirability:
Wanted it from the day it was announced. (Needed it years ago.)
Sound:
n/a. This is not a sound module.
Ease of Use:
Makes sense and works as advertised. Simple, which is what I was looking for.
Support:
No experience with Alesis customer support as yet.
Overall:
There are few products that would quite replace this - none at this price point - so if it breaks, I'll replace it with the very same thing.
