My kid wanted a drum set for her birthday... I didn't think I could take the noise nor do I have the space. Also what if it was just a phase! The Yahmaha 55c was PERFECT!!! You can have headphone for privacy, just slide it under the bed for storage! and it was about $100 so if she changes her mind I didn't break the bank! Since the device has Midi, this makes is flexible. You can connect it to your keyboard and play as if it were real drums, or take it on stage/garage for live performnces! GOTTA LOVE IT!!!
