The DM5 puts over 540 all-new and classic Alesis studio drum sounds into a single rack space, many recorded in true stereo and with ambient effects.

<b>Review of Attributes:</b><br/>The unit has a lot of programmable features for each trigger input and sound. I had virtually no cross-talk or sensitivity problems and the v-curve set to 1 had excellent feel response. No grooves to play along with, or anything. Just sounds.<br/><br/><b>Product Virtues:</b><br/>Lots of plastic, I'm used to metal rack-mount devices. The spin-knob doesn't track 100%, it likes to skip numbers.<br/><br/><b>Value:</b><br/>Having it to do over again, I'd get the Roland TD-3 instead.<br/><br/><b>Drumability and Worthiness:</b><br/>The rack-mount chasis is much nicer than the Roland tablet style.<br/><br/><b>Timbre and playability:</b><br/>The drum sounds aren't the best. There's not a large library of sounds to choose from either. With some work you could build maybe one good kit out of all the sounds available.<br/><br/><b>Manufacturer Assistance and Helpfulness:</b><br/>I rate this a 10, since I never needed them.<br/><br/>
