Advantages: none
Disadvantages: none

Hello and welcome to the review that should have been here. It was here but its not here now as I have taken it and put it into my private stash somewhere else. It may well appear somewhere else online and if it does it will have my name on it. Thank you to everyone, to all the people in my COT over the years who have stuck by me and who have been great influences over the reviews I have written. It is indeed a sad case that reviewers have to come ...

It is also quite good in studio production, but nowadays can't be the no. 1 choice of a producer/musician. It has just 3 snares, and only one of ...
...too 80's to be fashionable. There is a nice smooth rim shot that is quite useful, as well as a classic hand clap (probably the first one to be sampled!) It has quite a good control system, good at changing the pitch, volume, shuffle, and other good features. You can use midi connections to which is useful. It is quite reasonably priced so it can be recommended for someone wanted a mid range machine to start with ... Read review
