Great but one big flaw

Otys 07.04.2025

With almost all the usable preset rhythms they use a crash sound (the same sound with every drum kit) on the one every two bars.
It’s SUPER annoying and obnoxious sounding, where it’s almost funny, but not very usable.
CRASH 2 3 4

Nine out of ten preset rhythms has this.

So prepare to make your own rhythms, but that’s not what I personally bought it for.

The rest is great though, so if you’re in it for making your own rhythms or you LOVE crash than you’ll love this thing.

Great little drum machine

sylvainsylvain 08.06.2026

This thing is really cool. The drum kit sound quality is not the best; some kits are more usable than others, at least for my use case. The pads are okay, but you really have to press quite hard to get a high volume.

Considering the price, size, and features, it’s nice and fun. I love that you can play it on the sofa using batteries and the built-in speakers.

I would love to be able to import my own samples, but considering the price, I won’t complain. I would even pay more for a “pro” version with sample import, similar to what Yamaha does with the FGDP-30 vs FGDP-50.

Recommended.
