Backstage RMP-5 Scenes....

The RMP-5 was an instant hit with other musicians in the concert series. (for those who do NOT know, the Roland RMP-3 and RMP-5 feature the Rhythm Coach, any drummer's best friend...)

Everybody love's challenging the "time check" function, anywhere and in different ways.

The Roland Room

In the Roland Room, people could try the TD-12 - TD- 6 - TD -3 - Handsonic - RMP-3 + RMP-5. At right, Patrick Lanois, who provided PA services for the festival.(Roland VM series)

Using the PM-10's, druing the day, I gave demos on all kits.

The guy in the midlle scored a "Perfect" on the RMP-5, using the "time check" function...Perfect for just 4 measures however....

He and his friends were trying for about 45 minutes.
