Fun to use, sensitive and well placed pads
Style: FGDP-50
This is a very full featured and intuituve drum controller with sensitive drum pads. My primary use is via connection to a DAW (Ableton Live) as a MIDI instrument and it works great. Connecting is done via the included USB cable which is also the charging cable. Plusses for me: sensitivity and layout of the pads for finger drumming, small form factor but nice weight, stable, doesn't slide on table top. The built-in sounds are good and they are programmable. Unusual to me was the cable uses micro USB instead of USB-C but that's fine. No 5-pin MIDI out It is recommended to charge it fully before first playing through the speaker as a standalone instrument. Once that's done you can play it while it charges. Good battery life. You can begin playing through the built in speaker using any of the default drum kits right away. To grasp all of the features requires on the front panel required a brief time with the included manual. It is fully programmable via built in menus and in-depth documentation for full programming is online. ... show more

best buy of year! changed music for me.
Style: FGDP-50
best thing i bought except my mac mini. i used it on two songs recorded so far. i played bass on 2 jazz albums where the artist played the yamaha finger drums. pretty amazing what one can do with this kit. i practiced a bunch for 6 months. i took lessons with Tory Slusher on this instrument. i used superior drummer with limited success. drum machines are alright. this yamaha machine lets one get to a customized recordable drum track in record time. best money i have spent. hiring a top pro drummer is where i want to be. i am getting closer to what i hear in my head all the time. the only thing its missing is bluetooth connectivity. i plug headphones in and play long with streaming or my pieces. it sounds hifi through good headphones vs the dinky speaker it comes with. the metronome works fine for a simple metronome. one gets spoiled with TE tuner metronome. it definitely improves one’s time. i like that i can use both thumbs on the bass drum for doing fast rhythms in complicated bass drum parts. some parts i can play pretty quick that would be years away on real drum set. really good investment and fun to play. i was playing all night after work. it took a few weeks for my finger , shoulder and forearm muscles to adjust to playing . after that it goes really quick. ... show more

Love this!
Style: FGDP-50
This is a fun little instrument with some great sounds! I love the portability, the built-in speakers and how I can take it anywhere. I am a jazz pianist and not a drummer but it's fun to jam along with tunes on this. It's not a drum sequencer, just a finger drummer. Pads feel good. Very responsive. Samples are great. There are no pro audio outputs, just a mini headphone jack but it does have USB for connectivity (although I have never tried it). ... show more

Amazing instrument with one huge flaw
Style: FGDP-50
I love almost everything about this finger-drum pad. The pads are super responsive and the layout of the pads is perfect for playing fast beats. It is so much fun to play. The internal speaker is quite good and it is a blast to be able to take this thing anywhere and play drums in a convincing way without a drum kit (of course you can connect it to an amp or headphones if you want it to sound better). The one huge problem I have with this instrument is that it runs out of charge incredibly quickly. If I play it continuously, starting with a full charge, it shuts down because of low battery within 1/2 an hour. Admittedly it charges up very quickly (10 min or so), but an instrument like this should be playable for several hours on a single charge. I thought the first unit I ordered might be defective, so I returned it and got another one, but the replacement also shuts down very quickly. I am going to keep the instrument because it is so much fun to play, but this is a huge design flaw that Yamaha really should have remedied before releasing the unit. (It should be noted that you can play the instrument plugged into a power source, so the short battery life does not preclude using it in live performance.) A couple other small criticisms are that the power input should be USB C, not micro-USB, and that it would be great if the machine could perform some type of quantization for those of us who are not adept finger drummers. But I would still have given the instrument 5 stars because it is just so much fun, were it not for the battery issue. ... show more

A new kinda drum instrument-only really for playing, not a drum machine
Style: FGDP-50
I like this because it gives me a drum set in my lap and i don't need to use sticks or get all my limbs coordinated-it could use midi jacks for easy connection to other instruments or workstations but it has usb for hooking up to computer and passes along digital audio so you can skip extra decoding step I haven't tried my own sounds yet but i could see triggering different songs parts (as wav samples)from top row of pads and being a sort of one man band or at least adding other triggered parts it has 1/8 inch jack in to add other sound sources to headphone or analog outs The rechargeable battery and small internal speaker do give you a lot of freedom to just mess around or play with acoustic instruments without a pa. ... show more

Fair price, infinite fun, highly recommend
Style: FGDP-50
Wow, this thing is super fun. I play guitar and bass and sing, so drumming was the last thing to conquer. I’d still prefer a real dedicated drummer but this is super intuitive and customizable. I think the pads are nice and give good response, but this is my first and probably only finger drum pad I’ll play, so take my opinion with a grain of salt to all the pros out there. I have needed to open it and clean out the pads before, but I host an open mic at a beach bar using it, so be weary. It has a great sound live! In my opinion, I would add two things. I would split the snare pad in half but keep its function. Sometimes the snare roll can’t keep up, but it does a good job. Second would be a looper that could be programmed to a specific length and tempo whilst playing. It has premade melodies and drum loops in the “sessions” section but very few are great imo. Makes for great practice though. Overall, this is a neat instrument with nearly infinite customization and potential for creativity. Or if ya like farting around making music with your buddies. Well worth it ... show more

This box is serious business!!!!!
Style: FGDP-50
The built in rechargable battery powered sound system makes this an incredibly usefull stand alone instrument. The 2.5 inch speaker sounds and feels realistic. With good quality headphones the sound is bombastic. Fantastic stereo effects. Yamaha makes some of the best and most recorded drums. As a stand alone digital percussion library I am going to get much use out of it. For song writing, recording and performing I cannot think of any type of percussion workstation that will suit my needs better than this. Hit the switch and in less than 5 seconds of boot time you are ready to rock. The Reggae, Afro, Cuban samples/kits make this a must have for me. Now if I could find a case and Roland type stand adapter.............. ... show more
