Review: Wow. Just, wow. - I've had this handrum for a couple of months now so I think I can review it fairly. My thought process in purchasing was to be able to practice and become so efficient with this device that I could play out with it someday. I also bought the kick and high pedals for it, but won't review those here. I will say they synced perfectly when plugged in. As for the handrum, its easy to play, tough to master. I play rhythm guitar so my timing is pretty solid, but I'm not a drummer. I'd read that even drummers that purchase this device still have a learning curve, so I figured I'd give it a shot. This thing is so much fun to play. 100 different preset kits to choose from and each kit can be tailored and preset pads can be swapped with other instruments and sounds. There are also open banks to create your own kits but I haven't got that far yet. The coolest feature I'm anxious to play with is inputting your very own custom .wav files via PC or USB, then assigning those sounds or voices to my pads. Imagine recording Zeppelin guitar riffs or your kid's voices and playing them as drum sounds! You can also change the sensitivity of the pads so you don't have to bang on them to get a sound. You can also hold down a pad with one hand and mute it while tapping on it with the other hand just like a real conga. I love that it has a headphone jack as well. Its an expensive toy, but rock solid and should provide years of enjoyment.
