The drum samples might not be as many as other kits, but the quality of the samples are unmatched, also the ambience feature makes this kit sound very real. The silicon pads are really quiet and feel much more realistic than mesh heads. The rack that comes with the kit is very convenient and stable, also looks amazing. The drumbrain might not have a touchscreen like other new models, but all the knobs you need during a gig are there to quickly make adjustments to your sound.
