That's a highly attractive price compared to the alternatives! The HPD and Zendrums are IIRC closer to $2000.I think the thing is the tone generator (some 1500 sounds), battery power and speaker over MIDI controllers.
UK pricing is Yamaha FGDP-50 and FGDP-30 is £335 and £200 respectively.
Its a novelty toy unfortunately, not much more than the Yamaha DD-75That's a highly attractive price compared to the alternatives! The HPD and Zendrums are IIRC closer to $2000.
Looking forward to buying one, for jamming and songwriting with my girlfriend, and for on-campus rehearsal without a drum kit. If it can be connect to trigger pads, I may even be able to incorporate it into my acoustic kit!
