I received this toy for Christmas, and it seemed like an interesting idea. I have been a drummer and a finger tapper forever, and I like to think that I have a good sense of rhythm. This little unit is just not very responsive, so if you already have a feel for drumming, it just can't produce the beats that you try to tap out. The sensors are very location sensitive, and if you try to tap out something like a single stroke roll, it just can't keep up. The sounds are also somewhat irritating, especially the bass drum - sounds like your striking a paper bag.

So if you are considering this as a play thing for kids, it might be the ticket. If you are looking for something to exercise your rhythmic abilities, look elsewhere.

I bought this for my 7 year old nephew who "plays" guitar and piano. At one time, he wanted to play the drums and join a rock band, but then another kid in his class had drums - so well, he now plays the electric guitar. Anyway, after I got this thing in the mail (for him), I couldn't stop playing with it! My husband couldn't stop playing with it either. It's just a super fun "thing" for all ages. I never even got to try any of the features it offers (I didn't take it out of the box, and the special features were under the cardboard!), so I don't know how well they work. All I know is, for the money, this is worth every penny. I almost kept it and got my nephew something else, but I made myself wrap it up so I would quit playing with it.

My 18 year old loved this toy-- and its lots better than drummimg on the table.
Seller was very generous when original item was damaged in transit. A "pass-it-around" cool toy when the guys are hanging out together.

Unless you want to torture someone or someone's parent...
SERIOUSLY!! It's loud. It's unwieldy. It's badly configured...You "tap" a drum in a repetitive manner and it's completely off...DO yourself a favour and experiment with other Drum "machine" items, drum sticks, or drums/stix...DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME or MONEY!!
