The Truth

| May 5, 2010

I had been pounding on the keys several months before I got my first sub-woofer a used Roland KCW-1 via EBAY.   With a sub-woofer unit the bottom sounds of the drum machine really sound great and once you get use to it you don’t want to play without one.  The Roland KCW-1 is a great unit but I wanted [...]
