if you were ever in a marching band and are comin from a schooled out percussionists perspective you're screwed.if you are funky and can play the hi hat w/ finnesse get an MPC and A ddrum 4 the next time you're contemplating a DW kit or those all Maple SUper brand drums.They have metal cymbal surfaces and REAL drum heads on ddrum and they are now cheaper/And full sized than the entry level V drumz.They've dropped in price by half since the last version and I was surfin the ddrum site and noticed the Brain has improved not lost features.And They're RED like the Nord stuff cause they are the NORD stuff.

Those things are nice and the MPC2000XL is king of the drum machines.Just look at the polls on drummachine.com
If you are a drummer concentrate on the beatz and get busy.Fuck Theory it bogz you down.you can't cut your finger on a MPC so why do ya need rules.This gear will let you use pads and drumheads to play sounds w/ damn the keyboards to hell i say.

If you do come from a marching band play TRANCE.unless your band had alot of swing to it or somethin.
