Has worked very well for 2 years straight. The jacks in the back are becoming a little flaky however, so it will need a repair within the next few weeks. I still consider this unit a fairly junior product though, I would see a professional using the next model up.

Great module- I have been using it to play in my church for over 2 years-this kit has realistic drum sounds especially on the toms-(the V drum feature allows for the depth of the drum and the head type to be altered for a deeper and richer sound). The only exception to the sound quality suffering would be the cymbals-they seem to accompany the drums rather than impact them and they don't "cut through the haze" enough the way an acoustic cymbal would. Needless to say, once you have explored the possibilties of the sounds and modified it to your liking-it sounds very much like some of the nicest acoustic sets.
