    I got a booklet from Maplin with all their current deals and sale items and noticed this USB drum kit. Does anyone reckon it'd be any good? Is it worth the €33? The link is:

    I have no idea. I'm having second thoughts about it now, those youtube clips make it seem complete crap!

    I know it's only like €33, but it was €66 so I expected something a little better. I only want it for practising.

    Uh, not too sure now, spotted this comment on one of the youtube videos...

    "this product is terrible! the surfaces lack sensitivity so badly that you can't play by hitting them but instead you end up using the cheap tiny plastic sticks to prod, poke and press the pad surfaces to get it to actually register the input. and other times it double or triple bounces when u only press it once."
