good controller, many problems if you a Drummania player like me that plays on Advanced and EXTREME, the controller is NOT for you. This is a greatly recommended controller towards the Basic players, and new comers.
The pads work surprising well for the price that you are paying, however the actual drum pads are very small, and you will often miss, and hit the plastic.
The controller comes bundled with plastic drumsticks, which I do recommend anyone using. I would go to a store and pick up real drumsticks, but not ones that are as long as 5B's, or you will have to really choke up on the drumsticks to play.
The pedal is also not recommended. You can use other foot pedals from other stores, which is really nice. I personally use a ROCK BAND pedal that is taped to the ground, and it works perfect for playing on the topway.
Also after playing on this for a long time you are going to problem break the controller like I did. I had to open the controller and fix a wire I seemed to knock out that connected the pedal, and even then the pedal's wire still had to be put in a odd taped down area on the drumset.
Overall if you are new to the game, this is a great chance to start out, but if you have been playing for a while, just save up you money and buy a actual Drumset for the game (like a DTXPRESS), and a adapter (UX-16).
I give it a 3/5.

Drum controller I cared to leave a comment.
I am having big fun with this controller, it is true that the pedal is not very good and the pad (right crash) they are not fantastic, also too much small for me that I have gotten used to that acoustics; In the end is a controller, a game, and with a bit of practises gets used and believe am amusing a lot me!!
P.s. Sorry the bad english

a good controller I have read a lots of bad comments about the Topway controller, but trust me it's a good controller for the price, the only thing that i dont like is the pedal but its not so bad ! Fast shipping i will buy again on play-asia !
Really good controller If you can't afford thos expensive electric drum kits to play Drummania this is the best alternative there is. I ordered this on a monday and received it 2 days later. Great product and great shipping service. This controller deserves 5 stars!
Must have item for the DrumMania addicts I purchased one in a friday afternoon and I received it the next day (saturday) morning. That's amazing. Pretty fast.
As for the controller performance, it's really good. It won't choke when you do a little bit fast rolls (say, Departure or Tamayura from the PS2 GuitarFreaks/DrumMania version). No misses, do just fine. The problem is, you have to take time just to familiare and get the hang of it. It hurts when you accidentally slammed or hit the red plastic instead of the heads. It's like "Ouch.." to your ear. For the bass pedal, it keeps on getting somewhere. I have to drag it in the middle of my play.
All in all, its a nice purchase. Just get used to it and you'll be fine.
A must have item for those who want to play in the arcade version but doesn't have the everyday budget alloted for it.
