Well strictly speaking it's probably worse than a virtual sampler on a tablet as it's a 12-bit sampler with just 30 seconds of sample time available at the highest quality. Mine also only has floppy discs to load it's OS and samples from. I believe you can retro fit an SD card reader in place of the disc drive. On the plus side, it does have 8 outputs, which is handy for drums as you can send different samples to different channels and effects. It has a distinctive sound due to being 12 bit and having good filters that you can tweak over midi. It's somewhat similar to a W30 keyboard but in a rack mount and without the sequencer or SCSI. You can "cheat" with the sample time by making multiple virtual copies of sounds and having them automatically play forward and then reverse in a loop. There's no time stretch as such but it's possible to split a drum break in that way, assign a virtual sample to each beat and push and pull the tempo. Not sure I'd recommend anyone buy one over just getting software these days but I have it, and it's fun to use occasionally in a retro way.
