Product rating Product rating Voting Select your rating... Excellent! Very good Good Fair Poor Rate It! Reviews Author: Anonymous Musician LOVE IT! Excellent sound quality, realistic drum loops, perfect for beginners, and way more than expected for the price. I do have 2 complaints about it: you can't export projects as mp3 files, and you need about DOUBLE the minimum system requirements listed to make this work effectively. But the product as a whole rates 5 stars I did my first beat in about 4 hours and ir was easily the best thing I have ever done!
