.... Ok, everyone can have his/her opinion. I respect.
It's the first time I read a thread in this forum, for which I totally disagree with the core initial idea.
As Soryt previously, I find the new REVO drums FAR FAR better than Tyros drums. For me, it's THE major improvement from Tyros 5.
My Music teacher is 75 years old, also a "gigman" for 50 years, and "first price for piano clarinet and saxophone of Paris Music Conservatory". He has a Tyros 5, uses it for his gigs.
I lent him my Genos during 1 week.
The first thing he told me : "the drums are far better".
For a non professional like me, who is not able to play naturally 300 good notes per minute, having such styles with heavy drums and heavy bass is great and goes towards modern music styles.

Hello Soundphase.
Like I wrote in my original post and another recent post, it's all a matter of taste and opinion.
I'm not trying to change anybody else's opinion.
I'm just stating that I am not impressed by the Revo! drums.
I feel that they are not as tight, dynamic and crisp as the drums in the Tyros and PSR
series.
The pursuit of authenticity in a sound or voice does not always ensure the best
results, especially in the real world out there.
I have a Kawai MP11 stage piano that I adore, whose sound is sampled from Kawai's top of
the line concert grand.
I also love the action and mechanism of the keys, which are the exact mechanism found
on a concert grand. The feel when playing it is sublime.
I recently tried out a Roland RD 2000 and am very impressed.
Roland samples and then models their piano sound until it sounds as it should in the real
world. I will be buying one shortly.
I have recorded the intros of the ScatLegend styles of both the Genos and the Tyros 5.
I prefer the drum sound of the T5, which I find is crisper, tighter and more dynamic.
Others will prefer the Genos drums, and there is nothing wrong with that.
It's all a matter of what stimulates one's senses better.
As for the 'gigman' Music teacher, as you wrote, sound is subject to many things, and really
depends on where you play, what you play, and whom you play for.
And as for me, I am now exclusively using Tyros, PSR, and 3rd party styles on my Genos.
Thanks to the kindness of many Tutorial and forum members, I have found many useful
styles in the Styles Collection section.
And a great styles selection from our good friend Gary Diamond, a.k.a
travlin-easy.
Here are the short demos, which are better heard on a pair of good headphones,
in order to differentiate the sound better.
Best Regards.
Abby.
