Roland builds on its winning rhythm line with the RMP-5 Rhythm Coach. The RMP-5 has a great-feeling, tunable mesh drumhead, and a convenient one-piece molded body with integrated pad and brain. The RMP-5 strides to the front of the class, however, with its 54 onboard PCM sounds (including snare drums, kick, cymbals, and percussion instruments; the RMP-3 has no built-in sampled sounds) plus an external dual trigger input so you can add a kick and cymbal pad for drum kit practice. The RMP-5 also features an advanced, expanded Rhythm Coach mode. The unique "Coach Mode" has training functions that help develop timing, accuracy, speed, and stanima. The display tells you if you are ahead of or behind the beat. It can also be set for accelerando or ritardando. Another mode "drops out," forcing you to keep good time until the metronome beat returns.
