MPS-850 E-Drum Set : Great Build, Fun to Play, Great Midi Controller, Sounds Are... Adequate

At first I thought that this set wasn't quite adequate for real recording. But after getting acquainted with it, I've come to realize that the included sounds with the head unit don't really let the quality of the triggers shine. It's great to have the included head unit so you can simply plug into a set of speakers or headphones and go, but this set really shines when you plug it into a computer as a midi controller for your DAW. The higher quality samples in Logic Pro, for instance, really showcase the sensitivity of the triggers much better than the included head unit.

So Overall, I like the compromises made to achieve the price. If you need a good set of triggers, use the unit as a midi controller. If you want to mess around or practice, just run the included head unit. And if you need better sounds on board, upgrade the head unit to Roland or similar. It's a great and flexible package for the money, and by focusing on the quality of the triggers, they've lessened the risk of outgrowing the set altogether. And at the price, it even makes sense for beginners. Great package!
