“The compact body is packed with performance that will convince even professional drummers. The intuitive user interface and customizable visibility reflect the feedback from the field. The customizability of the system, which utilizes not only auditory but also visual perception, was highly evaluated,” said the jury members.

The GOOD DESIGN AWARD has been the sole comprehensive design evaluation and commendation system in Japan since 1957.
