Feature:
They’ve covered just about everything, In Depth MIDI functionality, and “human” functions like swing, pad sensitivity etc. allow you to mimic a live drummer like no other machine. The only thing I would add would be ‘flam’ and ‘roll’ buttons , like the Boss DR-660 has.
Quality:
Can’t be beat for the price
Value:
Hands down, the class of the group
Desirability:
Already have it!!!! 
Sound:
The Samples are diverse and clean. Easily the most ‘natural’ sounding drum machine I have ever used. Create a song with your patterns, choose a kit then add some outboard compression and the SR-16 sounds like a real drummer.
Support:
Have not had to contact Alesis for support even once
Overall:
By far the best in its class (Until Behringer decides to make a drum machine, that is!!)

Feature:
This trigger comes with EVERYTHING you need to hook it up and get banging!
Quality:
For the price, I can’t believe the quality! My other set is WAY more expensive, but this trigger, and the set it’s expanding, are right up there with it!
Value:
Don’t bother with online auctions, zZounds prices and shipping are at least competitive if not better, and like I said, customer service is off the chart!
Sound:
I have the Alesis DM5 Kit and bought this extra cymbal trigger as an add on. It sounds great! The only reason I don’t give a full out 10 is because I also own a Roland drum kit, much more expensive, so not a fair comparison, but this still rates a 9 up against it!
Ease of Use:
Very straight forward setup, would be nigh on impossible to mess it up!
Support:
I went with a warehouse repack at first. There was a defect and I had to exchange it for an actual new cymbal trigger. The new replacement was at my door BEFORE I COULD FINISH PACKING AND SENDING OFF THE DEFECTIVE ONE! These guys don’t mess around on customer service!
Overall:
I would’ve been happy with the very minor blemish on the repack, but the defective trigger was a no-go. But zZounds wasted no time at all replacing it with the new trigger, no hassles, no headaches! The new trigger is great and I will add on again when funds permit.

Feature:
Audio In and pedal inputs and a full size keyboard puts the micro korg to shame.
Quality:
Feels good to play, if I turn it on, it’s hard to turn off. Reminds me of exploring a Mini Moog for the first time. Sound
Sound:
it is everything I expected and more. one of the more playable keyboards I have ever owned. Amazing for it’s size. Will have to give the Ion a closer look.
Overall:
It will be one of my favorites for a long time. Complements my other keyboards. Very portable. Could see myself playing live with only this board, even at this size. Big sound.

Feature:
Looks good! I have it in a rack with a Korg DTR1000 tuner and an Aguilar DB750 bass amp. All three components have the brushed alumimum look, so you could say I have a rather ‘color coordinated’ rack! The dimmer capable rack lights are very helpful, and the primary reason I wanted this unit. Honestly speaking, this ‘power conditioner’ is nothing more than a ‘glorified power strip, but it is handy. Being able to simply flip one switch and have amp and tuner come on at the same time… very convenient.
Quality:
Solid build, good looks and very functional…
Value:
Not worth a hundred bucks… but I wanted it, so I coughed-up the cash anyway…
Desirability:
Like I said… I wanted it, so I paid the overly inflated price for it…
Ease of Use:
Can’t say how it could be difficult to use…
Overall:
I’ve had mine for quite awhile now. I’ve had no issues with it, and Alesis is has a pretty good reputation for offering quality products…
