A bit pricey, but the features it offers are unprecedented! I've had it for a month and it has definitely increased my playing time, and every day I learn something new!

I like this module (it is replacing a Roland TD-20 set brain, however, I didn't realize there are NO Aux Trigger inputs (none). Once you connect your pads & cymbals you have no Aux trigger inputs (for cowbell trigger, splash cymbal, roto toms, etc).I had to remove my Tom #4 and add splitter (for 2 Aux inputs)Alesis please add at least 2 Aux Trigger (TRS) inputs please!!Also, DO NOT use the included base mount, it is way too thin & flimsy (it bends just by pushing the buttons!) Get the one they sell here for $15 (heavy plastic) or the Gibraltar metal mount (they use same hole pattern). Luckily I had a metal Roland Octapad SPD-20 mount that fit fine.

I saw many people praising the sound, but since I was already using VSTs with samples dozen times bigger (this has a 200MB limit per kit), I wasn't impressed. It was better than my old module, but not as good as what you can achieve via midi. My biggest complaint is that my Alesis Surge pads and pedal aren't fully compatible, the pedal is especially problematic, no matter how many trigger settings I change. The rims barely work. The worst is that, if you finally set up your pads, you can't save their settings globally, only for one kit. Change to a next kit and start over...The editor app looks like something from 15 years ago and keeps losing connection. You can't even use it without plugging in the module... All this in a flimsy plastic box. I was dreaming about buying this module as a solution for all my trigger or sound needs and it disappointed. It's probably best used with a Strike SE kit. It was nice that they included the cables and the (plastic) mount with screws though. If you have a mac, make sure you download the app from the page of the whole kit, not the module on their site, they haven’t added the new version there for years.

This unit provides excellent versatility to compliment the incredible library of sounds. Excellent choice in this price range!
