This drum machine is a blessing for anyone interested with making Hip Hop R&b music. 1st off let me say that the manual is easy to understand, unlike the Mpc’s etc.. This machine can make a lot of cool beats. The factory preset songs by the beat Kangs sound cheesy to me and very west coast hip hop, but that being said the drum kits are very good and the synth sounds like guitar etc sound like they are real samples of guitar etc.. Use is easy and you can select parts from different kits and make custom drum kits that are off the hook. Even when I missed the beat a couple of times with the small pads the microchip inside fixed it when I played the beat back. You can connect a cheap set of electric drums like the low end yamaha drums with a midi out connection to the midi in on this and access all of the great sounds on a good size drum set. It also has a stereo line in for use with a mic with a preamp or a guitar or bass with a preamp or even a keyboard from the headphones out jack to the stereo in. My advice go through all the steps in the manual which is pretty short anyway and you will have all that you need. Bruce Lee said it best when he said something like it is not the fancy spin kick that will win the fight but the short straight punch or kick. Meaning the little things are most important. Now let’s start beautifying this world with some crazy beats. Good luck

This product is a great starting point for anyone who is a true beat junkie, listens to the hot beat compilations on the radio and says to themselves “I know I can create something like that…even better”. Go after this product and become your own “producer of nasty beats”. This product is easy enough to begin at the lowest level of beat machine experience and being able to look abd sound like a serious track master. I also love the portability of the unit – easy to carry anywhere to ensure you get that spontanous beat in your head gets down and saved on a track. I highly suggest purchasing this product. Also great for manual licks when percusion is needed at Church service/functions (Praise Him). The only negatives I have is the fact that they do not include an A/C adaptor (sold separately), however the 4 AA batteries last a long time.
