I use this little gem for about a month. I'm really not disappointed!

The mesh skin on the toms and snare really absorb shocks on the sensors and provide a better bounce. It is a pleasure to play with. Moreover, these skins are much less noise than the toms rubber type models KW.

At first I was skeptical about the reliability of the hi-hat, but frankly it goes not too bad, although we must press firmly on the pedal.

The movements of the cymbals are adjustable as on the real, only downside, there is one side of the crash cymbal and hi-hat which are made of plastic (to separate two sounds on the module, such as front and rear crash Chinese). It's a bit of mess then.

Otherwise the bass drum pad works well. Too bad it does not benefit either of the skin mesh as TD-12. Because it is against the wall of my parents' room, so imagine the vibrations. I suggest you put at least one piece of wood or carpet beneath gym, just to dampen the vibrations a bit;)

Finally, the module includes a few hundred different kits with over 1000 different sounds! There's enough to make it on! Second, the quality of the effects is not too bad, y'en forces that ... what gadget
But this module is very comprehensive in that it can completely change the kits!
That is, you can increase or decrease the sound of a tom on a kit, increase / decrease the resonance, harmonics, for example, or change altogether the sounds of each part of the drumkit kit. So there are endless possibilities!

So what is effective in terms of learning the drumkit is the fact that you can plug your MP3 player in the module (with a catch jackmâle3, 5mm/jackmâle3, 5mm). Like this, there's more than playing over the music. I find this method really works. In addition the module has several "learning songs" and a drum machine built!

I paid € 1679 with a kick pedal GIBRALTAR GIB5611. Sounds a bit expensive, but if one is motivated to do the drumkit and you love to do, it's worth it because it's a quality product.

Before I had tried many batteries with a TD-6 KW (which has rubber skin, so you see the difference) and the YAMAHA DTXPRESS IV Special Set. Even if it has a hi-hat pedal, level as a bounce, sound and customization kits, there's no picture!

Oh yes for this budget that choice I would do without hesitation, because the TD-12 is still more expensive at € 1000!
