JJ,

As a ddrum module owner, I never cease to be amazed at what Clavia 
has accomplished, despite its limitations. I'll wager that it holds 
up to anything in Roland's in the TD-20, despite its age. 
Incidentally, the sounds used in the ddrum4 megakits have been 
released on CD for sampling with none of the compression that Clavia 
had to use to fit in the module's memory. I haven't heard it, but I 
can only imagine that the results are spectacular; they should be at 
the price asked.
