the "hip hop" drums are sort of crummy and amateur-sounding though. it doesn't have breaks programmed, but there are some (also weak) preset patterns.
I really like it a lot...most of the presets are corny, especially the hip hop kits like CD's mentioned but you can tweak EVERYTHING in real time, lay down multiple bass/keylines in different octaves, filter sweeps, and basically multitrack endlessly! And you can 'compile' your own kits. There are also a lot of classic Roland kits, 808, 909, etc. The way the pads are set up similar to a real keyboard is nice too, when playing melodies. Also, you can tho' some batteries/headphones in the sucker and make beats on the bus, in the subway, etc...
I would say go for it if you can cop one for a bill or so. I'll post some snippets later today of some crap I've made with mine...
If you're looking for gritty analog 'break' type of drums this is not for you.
