Great module for the price!

This unit is fantastic for individuals who already have existing Roland drum pads and are looking for an upgraded module for better sounds and articulation.
It's a pretty good module to jump back into electronic drums

I purchased this after moving into a basement apartment where I'm unable to play acoustic drums. I purchased this with the full kit from Ebay, so I'll mention a few things about the pads included with the kit, but most things will hold true
Previously I had a Yamaha DTX iis kit that I sold a few years back. Before that I had a Roland kit from the early 90s, and a Ddrum kit from the set from the late 90s. I also gigged with a Roland TD-10 from the early 2000s that I used with acoustic cymbals. I say this to let you know the kind of background I have with electronic drums.
The sounds are emulated as opposed to sampled which means you have a lot of control and the ability to do things you wouldn't be able to do with samples. The other side of that is that the sounds aren't the greatest, and to me they sound a little flat and mid-rangy. You can EQ them and get the drums to sound okay, but from the box they aren't my favorite. All that being said the sounds do allow you to control them like you would on a real drum set. You have the ability to adjust dampening, tuning, drum sizing, and a bunch of other parameters in ways you can't on sampled drum sets.
The controls are menu based, but are not super difficult to control. There is a lot of flexibility with routing that is great for using this live with sending separate channels to the soundman than you have in your ears. Importing samples is a pretty easy process. While you don't have individual faders for each sound like the TD-50, you can change them pretty easily and it all makes sense.
One of the places where this unit really shines for me is how it handles recording. you can do individual channels for each pad. I haven't had a chance to record and get the room sound as a separate file, but I think it's pretty cool. You can also record MIDI as well, and inside of logic there is a built in map for V-drums that works pretty well.
The construction is good. They use hard plastics that seem pretty durable and the knobs are have a quality feel to them. I don't love the mount. It uses 2 bolts instead of 4 and is made of plastic. So far it's held up well, and I don't suspect it will fail in the near future. I also don't have lots of love for the dongle cable for all the basic pads. It works well so far, but I've had cables fail on me before, and if one goes you might end up having to replace the whole thing with the proprietary snake that costs $50 at minimum. In a fixed location I think this will work fine, but if you gig and move the drums a lot I could see if failing at some point.
I kind of think if this as a TD-50 light. It has the USB inputs for a digital ride, hi hat, and snare. I haven't tried the hi hats yet, but the snare is really good, and the ride is good as well. The positional sensing is the real thing on these, and it was one of the reasons I went up to this model.
Overall, I think it's been serving me well so far as a kit to practice on at home without disturbing the people upstairs. The cymbals are still not as close to real ones as I would like, especially the hi hat. That said, the hats are the closest I've worked with so far, and are actually usable unlike some previous models. It's not a cheap unit by any means, but nothing in this space worth having is cheap. I think it's one of the best Modules on the market at this point, and I think I made the correct choice for me, going with this unit.
