Alright, so the reason you shouldn't buy it is because the drum pads aren't remappable and the default mapping is really odd.
That means that you can't play all the drum samples unless you remap the samples to the notes that the pads play.
It also removes one of the biggest benefits of drum pads over regular keys, which is the layout. Since the mapping is all fucked up, pad nr. 5 in this pic won't play off the sample !Snare 15 in this pic.
Not only that, but the pads are riggid as hell. You can't just groove out, because you need quite a bit of force to push them down.
The rest of the keyboard is alright though. The keys are synth action (light to the touch) and feel pretty good to play on. The keyboard looks great too.
I'd still recommend going for a Nektar Impact or an M-Audio Keystation (semi weighted) instead.
