They're ok Donny.... Nothing really special IMO. I will say this.., my old trusty RS-70 has more velocity switching and way less compression than the S-900.

Yammies drums to me are too clean. Too much has been stripped out of the overall sound. I still say the drums sound like they took the entire kit apart and sampled each part by themselves rather than sample the kit as a whole to get a more LIVE sounding set.

To each his own though I will say the S-900 has some good orchestral sounds though... Would take Yammie in that area any day over Roland.
