Squeak: I have a DD-55 with stand. Want to buy it? At first it was fun but then I found the limitations of the quality of the sounds/pads to be too much. Many times the noise from hitting the pads was as loud as the sound from the unit and amping it did not make it a lot better. Not to be too down on it I did use it on some small cocktail gigs where I brought along a drummer who only played the DD-55. It worked OK. Given the price point I don't expect the DD-65 to be radically different.

However, I have since bought the Roland Handsonic 10 with stand. I really enjoy this unit much more. The main reason for me is I like playing hand percussion more than with sticks. The Roland has responsive pads and can do cool things like muted hits and accents. With the latin and asian kits you get some really cool sounds. I have gotten lots of compliments on jobs where I complement the sound with the Handsonic 10.
