Also check out the new SR18, just released April 2008, although twice the price is the downside for the extra drum set samples, more memory and bigger construction.

To sum up, this is a great self-contained drum machine that gives you a lot of power, flexibility, and good sound for a not-ridiculous price

The reasons I plowed through all this frustration were 1) customer ratings and comments, 2) the lack of a reasonably priced competitive drum machines, and 3) the sounds were actually good enough for my limited

Great Purchase from Amazon and a great price all arrived ahead of estimated time and in perfect condition

great sound, affordable price, well constructed, Midi works great, simple to use..get one now

There are several other options that are slightly less expensive but this item is a studio staple and very well priced.

the price , great to have item that exceeds its value ,

nice comfortable machine great price came quickly

so we found it for a good price on Amazon (of course).

While the quality of the unit has only improved, the price has dropped as computer parts have become less expensive (also newer units are mass produced in Asia).

This unit does what I need at a reasonable price.

The only plus of this unit is the price, but anyway not very usable

Excellent price.
