Ultimately, the Rock Band Portable Drum Kit from Mad Catz is a prime example of technical trade-off-sacrificing comfort and ease for portability and storage. The appeal of this product is inherently subjective, some consumers will undoubtedly feel that they don't need take their kit on the road, others will jump enthusiastically at the thought. If you find yourself in the latter category, there is one last tradeoff to consider-price. The Portable Drum Kit costs $59.99, while the original drum kit now costs $49.99. Is a compact and portable design worth an extra $10?
