this set of cans are not equalized just like the other head sets (beats, leaning on bass etc). it was made to make you hear what the musicians want you to hear. BUT BUT... the headbands and the leather copy easily disintegrate, about 2 years of used. And unfortunately, there are no replacement parts.

Good for bed room rocking. Have some good experience playing it live, the preamp is teribble and need a lot of fine tuning on the mixer (it is very thin, cheap wood body). Also, it is badly positioned. All the sweat from the gigging pours directly on the unit. Mine short circuited but with some drying, came to life after 2 days. Now it's retired and rest well under my bed- inside a hardcase ofcourse.

Preamp equalizer is very sensitive and hard to find the tone that you like. has a 3 band equalizer a built in tuner and a volume knob. I need to further mix the sound with other pedals to achieve the desire tone that i need. With itself, it is very quacky, like all the rest of piezo pickups. This is not so entry level, since there's still lower variants below this model. Just when getting a G series takamine, choose the pre-amp. I think there is still a higher model than what is installed in this unit (TP4T). TK or something.

What can it do: - things actual drummer can, just without the dynamics. - like any drum machine, can only be used on songs with a "normal" time signature. - good amount of users online, can download free patches for cover songs. - fill variation per patch, so it feels like a real drummer less flirting with your vocalist. Cons: -comes with a very cheap power supply. good thing it is just the same as the universal effects PS, center negative but requires a lot of power, >300A. - pricey if you are not earning from it. if this is above your budget, consider the beat buddy mini. Same print, but the quality of the recorded drums samples are of low quality than its big brother. - need to purchase the separate foot pedal, or you won't be using its full potential.

Increase your productivity by 200%. Can assign looping, guitar boost, tap tempo, delay, hit etc.

To be honest, I just bought this headset because Paul Gilbert did. After trying it out, it was good. The sound quality is not that great compared to the ATH 50s but the isolation can be really helpful especially on crowded gigs where the drummer is just inches behind your back. Comes with a really long cable, really dedicated to be used as monitors- plus an extra purple pouch. Nice.

If you are like a gigging musician hopping bar to bar, and is really stubborn to tweak for hours on the mixer, this will be the equipment for you. Because of its small platform, you can easily fit it into your gig bag with all the rest of your gear, not mentioning that the build is solid too. (nicer it has black finish- well the play acoustic has it). Just set all the eq flat on the mixer, and youre good to go. It has deessing, adaptive tone, equalizer and all the vocal effects you could think of. it also has a looper so you can surprise the audience with some impromptu fills. Just dont expect too much on the guitar effect side, its crappy. better to use it as pass thru and have your dedicated guitar processor to accompany it. But hey, the audience are drunk anyways- good enough for them and so far no complaints.
