Good enough to have fun and play the drums without too much noise
I bought it to learn how to play the drums on a budget, without having much space available and without making too much noise and it works great for me in that regard.
It also works as a midi controller with a DAW and a plugin that allows you to assign cc to certain sounds (Steven Slate Drums for example), I didn't try this feature though, so it might be a mess to setup, like every midi I own.
In terms of playability, the velocity is a bit weird and the 2 pedals need some time to get use to it but it's achievable. I'm not a good drummer and as a beginner it satisfies me but it can be a bit frustrating if you'd want everything to work like a real drum set would.
In conclusion, it's a possible first approach to playing the drums, but to decide if it is a good one or not is up to you and your preferences. BUT if you have space available I'd certainly chose a more "classic" electronic drum set as it would give a better approach to how it feels to play the drums. This really is more about learning rhythm, how to hold the sticks, how to move from the snare to the hats for example than learning how to play the drums.

It is very good, nice sounds (not over internal speakers), the best over MIDI. Very good felling and geometry for playing with hand.

Solid, versatile
Very versatile and solid piece of kit. Unfortunately Yamaha haven't made the best set of pedals for it so would highly recommend upgrading to a more solid set (KU100 and HH65 are next on my list).
Lot of different sounds to choose from and great sound from the built-in speakers. Get yourself a snare stand and a headphone jack adapter and you're on your way.
Fast delivery and great customer service from Thomann. Would recommend :)
