Dell Studio 15

Advantages: Adequate features, upgrade options available
Disadvantages: Bluetooth Headset not Available

...Let again my target of review is popular 15.4" series laptop and I am trying to write review on Dell laptop third time. Generally Dell deals with its customer online and they sell laptop online but also considering retail chain so that they can easily reach to every general people also. Due to online sell, they provide good range of feature for customization, and we can choose good features and technology for our requirements. It has popular series display of 15.4". Here again popular chipset for Windows Vista they have provided is Intel® 965GM Chipset. T250Gb or 320 GB. We also have an option to upgrade it to higher speed 7200RPM version his set is good enough for aero experience of Windows Vista.

Review of Dell Studio 15

Experience with Roland EP-77

Advantages: modifiability, portable
Disadvantages: need of electricity

...I have been playing the piano for several years, each week going to a class, hard training all the time, concerts, and once, I got for Christmas this new invention. --- Advantages --- I didn't know at all what to expect. Before, I occasionally played for fun on keyboard. So I thought that it is comparable to such quality = not having a real size of a usual wooden piano. The other thing is that the number of keys, the low bass and high tones are usually missing on such a digital piano. But as I saw it then packed out, I starred on it with an open mouth because the keys had the usual size of a USUAL piano. What I really started to like on Roland EP-77 it was the fact that it is portable. - Several times it happened to me that I couldn't play the big piano at certain occasions because I cannot just put this instrument into my pocket...

Roland GR-20 Guitar Synthesizer

Advantages: Some very realistic synthetic sounds at an affordable price.
Disadvantages: Requires a lot of fine tuning.

...Background: I bought this pedal in Japan for £290. The Roland GR-20 is renowned for it's value for money. For this price you get: The GR-20 Synthesizer GK-3 Dedicated Pickup + Cable (to connect the GK-3 to GR-20) Power Supply Unit Short Guitar Lead Instruction Manuals Warranty Screws, tapes etc... to attach GK-3 to your guitar The pedal is very versatile and also comes with an in-built tuner. Installation: The GK-3 needs to be installed on your guitar before you can use the pedal. Ideally the GK-3 should be around 1mm away from your strings and should not be installed further than 1cm away from the bridge. The GK-3 has two main parts. The main body, which has the up/down buttons (to scroll through the patches) and a volume knob, and the pickup itself. The pickup can either be installed using screws...

roland td3 electric drumset

Advantages: Quite a realistic kit, Good value for money, built in drum tutor, dual trigger pads for rims/bells
Disadvantages: pads wear eventually, price from roland- but im being picky, a very good kit

...and rim shots, or edge bow and bell of the ride. This was disappointing but I assumed it was due to the price. However at the time the TD3 was about £40/50 more and seemed much more natural and flexible. There are less kits and sounds than the DM5, however they all sound a lot more realistic. With a variety of standard, percussion, rock, hiphop, even 50's style kits (15 in total) each comprising of toms, snare, crashes, splashes, rides, hats, crash/rides, chinas and a number of different bongos, congas, cowbells and a tonne of other percussion. For a proper drummer it has all the sounds you will need (however if you are looking for alien noises and sound effects- go for the dm5 :P) The cymbals are dual zone and change sound depending on where it is hit (bow, bell) and can be set to change with how hard the are hit (bow, edge). The Snare is...

Review of Roland TD-3KW V-Drums

ROLAND FR-3S PIANO ACCORDION

Advantages: TOO MANY TO LIST!!!
Disadvantages: BELLOWS CAN BE A BIT STIFF WHEN NEW.

...The Roland fr-3s is the little brother to the fr-7 V-accordion, yet it is no small fry having a full 120 bass section, with seven registers and keyboard of 37 treble keys with ten registers and a dazzling array of features and sounds, it is lightweight and fully portable due to the built-in speakers and battery option. (It takes ten AA size battery's if you would want to use this function, and lasts up to two and a half hours depending on the batteries used.) Although I do generally plug mine into the mains. The electronic wizardry in this instrument means you can select from ten different accordion types, each with its own associated registers and to the ear is indistinguishable from its acoustic cousins, and as if that was not enough, it boasts several orchestral sounds including violin, steel guitar and choir. The fr-3s also has...

Review of Roland FR-3s V Accordion

Roland Drums... my pride and joy!

Advantages: Great authentic sounds, feels like playing real drums
Disadvantages: knowing that if you had £5000 you could get a much better one

...I brought my Roland V Drums about a year and a half ago. I love them to bits. At the time, i couldnt afford them at all. However I played on a kit in a music shop and fell in love with them. I immediately promised myself to get a job and save up to get one. So, eventually I did. I still struggle now to understand the technology. You're hitting rubber and plastic pads, and real drum sounds come out... its increadible. Although the TD8 is not the most advanced kit in the series, it still does SO much. It registers how hard you hit the drums, where you hit the drums and they are really responsive. One of the major benefits of this piece of equipment is that you can play music into it to play along to. This can be very useful for practicing and picking up new things while listening to your favourite tunes! Also, its a great...

Review of Roland V Drums TD 8

Roland EG-101

Advantages: Quality, sounds, grooveability
Disadvantages: Lacklustre preset patterns, clumsy OS

...I am into making dance music, and I previously had a Yamaha DJX. I would say the EG-101 is pretty similar in its features, but it isn't as immediately accessible, then again it is a much higher quality product. This is a nice looking keyboard. It has a vintage look, analogue style knobs and some nice backlit buttons. There is only a tiny LED display, however - adequate, just. The keyboard has 448 voices, some of which are just percussion sounds and not much use, but there are some seriously usable sounds here. The quality of sound production is truly excellent. The onboard speakers are also remarkably powerful. Roland's way of selecting sounds, voices etc. isn't intuitive or obvious. You have to work at it! This isn't a toy by any means, but I know they could have made the thing easier to use. There is an arpeggiator, which I...

Auditioning for East 15

Advantages: Probably the best school to offer an MA. Not at all pretentious.
Disadvantages: Rapidly improving reputation but doesn't have the prestige of some drama schools

...I had a different experience of auditioning for east 15 than lubbly jubbly. I admit I came to audition for East 15 with prejudice. I had first heard of East 15 back in the 80s when I studied Theatre and Performing Arts at a local college. East 15 was not particularly highly thought of at the time. I spent 15 years working in the real world before deciding to make a leap of faith and return to my first love, Acting. I auditioned for East 15 because of advice from my drama tutor who insisted East 15 was extremely up and coming and was now giving competition to schools such as Mountview, Rose Bruford, Central and LAMDA. He really rated it. In fact he knew people who chose to go to East 15 over these schools. I still attended with prejudice however. I was surprised to find I loved the place and thought the audition process was very...
