I bought it when I just started off as a drummer. Really compact in size and easy to transport. Also can be used to record, with an easy hack. One of the best thing about this is pre-installed lessons and practice patterns. I would say 80% of the stuff I play in gigs, I learned from this. I have an acoustic kit, and also used friend's Yamaha electronic kit, but the practice patterns and metronome settings that come with this are really handy. I totally recommend this to every beginner and who is struggling with keeping the time, it will help you a lot. Btw, the blue lights also looks cool when you play in the dark.
