Hey folks.., I know it's an arranger forum.., but quite a few here are drummers (and some who'd like to be).

I just got the Yamaha DD65 yesterday, and all I can say is WOW! Yamaha really did their homework on this unit. It's a HUGE step up from the previous model IMO. The layout is much better (the design greatly improved as well).

For me (space) lately has become a huge issue with my music gear. I have very little space to work with, and even a small electronic set by Roland or Yamaha wouldn't fit in my playroom. The DD65 really fits in nicely for those of us with limited space. Plus the new models will fit on any standard snare drum stand!!!

If any of you are interested in getting into drums.., or in my position (already being a drummer with NO space for a full size kit anymore). Take a look at the DD65. It's worth the money IMO.

**Also.., it's not as small as you'd think either. It's nowhere near the size of a full kit.., but large enough to get comfortable on.
