MPS-850 E-Drum Set : Great DAW controller.

I decided to get this drum set because according to reviews both here and elsewhere, it was great value for money. And because of the many possibilities to set it up as a set of up to 6 drums, three cymbals and - most importantly, perhaps - because it has a real Hi-hat pedal system.

The setup was quite easy. Compared to an IKEA assembly it was really easy.

I'm so happy I bought it.

For my use in the studio to control virtual drums it's amazing. Really nice response that register ghost hits quite well, and my recordings are alive just like I wanted them to be.

The on board drum sounds are of course somewhat limited compared to let's say Superior Drummer and such, but if you're real concerned about whether you can use them in a live setting, you can check them out on numerous youtube videos.

If not, then you can create your own, or run the set through a computer on its way to the amplifier. Where there's a will, there's a way.

It's hard to imagine getting anything as good as this for this price anywhere, and if you're going to use it as a DAW controller; go for it. For rehearsal and live; I'd say go for it again.
