If the styles were no better, why would I change? I am NOT one of those that HAVE to have the latest model, no matter if there is little difference.

The G1000 sounded like a machine. The drums had no velocity switching, and sounded like a Sound Canvas. But, for it's time, it was still pretty much one of the best things about.

My G70's drums sound REAL. I can punch up styles from it that give the Audya's REAL drummers and live audio a VERY close comparison. And they achieve that with none of the loop audio's disadvantages. Want the same pattern, but on brushes? Tough. Want to change the kick pattern? Too bad. Prefer bongos to congas? Not a chance. Want a dryer snare? Sorry, no can do. Want to only play the style the way it comes? Finally.... It can do that!
