Well, as much as I admire Uncle Dave as a musician, I feel differently about the new Live Drums sounds on the 7K. Having played drums in a small symphony for several years I think the new drums are terrific. However, it really doesn�t matter what UD or I think. The bottom line is if the drums work for each individual player�s needs. That is why I put the demo of piano, drums and strings together so that those people who can�t get their hands on the 7K right now can have a little preview. Of course the mp3 can�t fully reproduce the sounds coming live from the board, but this completely dry sequence should bring you a clue of what to expect.
