I bought this as a spare for my Alesis Crimson II drum kit and so have not actually used it (and hope I don't need to!). The problem with many modern electronic drum kits is that the individual leads from the various pads are 'hard wired' into the brain/module via this multicore. A problem with just one of the leads means you have to replace the whole multicore, and a repair job that should only cost a couple of pounds, becomes a repair job costing over £60! I am appalled by this deliberate design fault. It's the drumming equivalent of breaking a guitar string and having to replace the entire neck of the guitar!
