What's the difference between mini mini pro 2 an. d thumper sport??? Besides price. I notice they weigh the same. Is diff. in percussion??

I purchased the Sport given the handle seemed a little slimmer and easier to manipulate. The sport has a control that lets you select a percussion speed from 1 to 5 and seems to offer everything the mini pro offers. I am extremely happy with Thumper percussion given that I borrowed the 6 headed pro and it unlocked my shoulder after 2 days of "thumping". As a supplement to the Thumper, I also recommend The Stick.

Dear Ms. Casey:Having no experience with the mini-mini pro 2, I cannot answer your question. I am satisfied with my thumper, which I use mainly for neck/shoulder tightness and it works well for me.Sincerely,Mary

I think you are right about thumping power. if they don't pound hard enough you don't get deep tissue action and pushing down on the massager just over works the motor.

In my experience mini pro is the best. I was looking for Maxi Pro, but decided on Mini Pro, as you can use it on your own. You will need another person for Maxi Pro. Sports looks like a cheaper version, so Mini Pro seemed like the best of all. I am very happy with it.

I honestly couldn't answer this as I did not compare the two. There were 2 similar models that I was torn between so I ended up downloading both manuals at Yamaha to compare them.

I have the same question. from the specs the one difference I can see is that this one is .2 pounds lighter than the old one. which is actually a pretty big deal, if you're using it for running like I did with the old one. at 1/3 the weight I'd expect it to stay clipped better during vigorous movement (not that the clip on the previous one wasn't adequate).

I don't know if it's a clone. I honk most of their stuff is, but I'm not sure. Tried a dynacomp but was too squashy for me. This allow u to adjust attack, sustain and level and even using extreme settings it doesn't get in the way of tone. Well built and costs a fraction of a boutique brand.

I can not compare the two as I have not heard the Jambox. What I can say is this is a very compact, portable item with great sound. The sound quality is amazing for the size. My kids have numerous high-end players and they still take advantage and steal this from my wife at every opportunity. What I can say is this thing is only about 9 inches long and a few inches around and battery powered so it can go anywhere: we even blue-tooth it to the DVD player in the car for the kids.

Having played on both kits (I have both), I prefer the DM6 for right out of the box performance. The SD5x has more on-board voices. however, it requires more in the way of set-up and I think the sound quality of the DM6 is superior. The pads are similar in construction and quality. Adjusting the sound parameters is much simpler on the DM6. ALSO and most important, the bottom line! The SD5X is at least 2x the cost of the DM6 while not offering any real appreciable extra value. I used both the SD5x and the DM6 for teaching drum lessons. I have owned the DM6 for well over a year and my drum students have varying degrees of skill. I have never had a single problem with the DM6 and purchased it at Costco for $199.99. I have had to replace a cymbal on the SD5x.

well Beat Pro have a very rich base sound. it truly depends on what kind of music your listing to. I listen to various music and when it came to rock it truly enhanced the drum solos. They are like studio moniters on your head. The Audio Technica i have not had the chance to try which I could be better help here.

Spec sheet says it's higher, but where did the six pounds go? It's possible the weight loss was due to the refinement of internal components other than the amp, but six pounds is a lot. I emailed Pioneer and they stated that they are using smaller, better components, but the quality is the same. I suppose we will have to wait for the audiophile reviews.

You can upgrade to Taktor pro. I upgraded mime to Traktor pro which has more features that the light edition of this controller. It costs like $90 to upgrade ... kind of rip off from Native instrument.

When I looked at the different models it seemed that the main difference was the number of inputs. If your only using it to play music you will only need one input, so I would say the smaller model would work for you. Just check to see if there's any difference in the power of the speakers.

This is not a comparison of the two products but an add-on to the previous comment. I bought the JBL for my 33 year old musician son. He has bought the speaker to our house several times and says the bass is unbelievable for a small and very portable speaker. He LOVES it!

I think it's better launkey because the keys are bigger than the mini akai while still being portable. the launch key also has more pads

More same than different. The new UE model (this one) is 1.5 inches taller and half an inch deeper. The handle makes up the bulk of the extra height which the old one didn't have. The driver configuration is almost identical, 2 tweeters, 2 3inch woofers, and slightly bigger 2.5" passive radiators (old one had 2" radiators). The sound is near identical except the new one has more bass because of the larger radiators. The price went up quite a bit from $150 to $250 MSRP. I own the old one and still very satisfied with its low/mid/high balance. If you don't mind the lack of a handle and buying used, the old fine is a great deal. More same than different.

Don't know why it took so long for somebody to reply to this post. The Bass Freq has a plastic body and is lighter. The Vibes are made with metal bodies and have a more durable wire for more durability. But as a trade-off, they are heavier. The vibes also have a stronger bass driver and better internal shielding. Most people don't notice the difference, but if you are really picky on sound and listen to a lot of classical music or jazz the vibes provide more detailed low end sound. For my money, as long as you don't mind plastic buds, the Bass Freq is the way to go. Similarly, in the same $30 price range the remix-Ms also come in metal, without the extra driver weight of the vibes. Some people like myself really prefer metal and extra strong wires and internal components. But if you don't care then save the $50 difference and get the Bass Freqs or the remix Ms.

DM10X is sturdier (doesn't move as much when you hit it), the 2 "floor toms" are 12" instead of the smaller 10", it looks better, and I think that's about it.

Hi Clint, Thanks tons for your insight. I believe I'll look at the DP-03 after considering your comments. Does the DP-03 have a built in drum machine? It's not overly important, just a 'nice to have'.
