    • Reliable pad
Size: 8-pad Style: Instrument Only
I’ve been gigging with this pad for a couple of years now and it has performed flawlessly. You just need to understand that for every input , volume change , anything, you have to save every move.

    • Not Too Bad
Size: 4-pad Style: Instrument Only
There is a little crosstalk, and if I were performing with it I'd probably need to upgrade, but all I'm using it for is to trigger MIDI in Reaper, where it's easy enough to clean up an extra hit. For that it's not bad at all. I can run a song in Reaper, map a cymbal or something, and record some hits while it's playing, on a new track, which was what I needed to do. The provided self-generated sounds are fine but really not too useful if you have better sounds in your plugins or in a program like Superior Drummer 3. This controller works well for MIDI and is easy enough to map. No comment on using it standalone. This controller is designed to be hit with sticks and won't work well if you hit it with your hands. With sticks you'll get enough crosstalk that it would ruin your day if you couldn't erase the extra hits later. But as an alternative to hitting keyboard keys to try and create human-edged beats, which is impossible imo, this is a very good tool to have. It's smallish. I have the Gibraltar stand which is a bit overkill but nice. Good value if you aren't gigging with it. ... show more

    • Great product for this non-drummer to add real drumming to my recordings.
Size: 8-pad Style: Instrument Only
Loads of fun. Sort of old technology but who cares. I like that you can use your own samples. And reverb too! Lots of options. This is a great substitute for the non-drummer that just wants to add some real druming to his/her recordings. Banging on pads is a lot more fun then adding "qunantization, groove, humanizing" DAW otions. I'm old school and like to use my body to make music. ;-) ... show more

    • I like it but a few issues....
Size: 8-pad Style: Instrument Only
Okay here is the skinny. I do enjoy this machine from Alesis. I like the memory card feature, the number of pads, & the different adjustable parameters for each pad. I personally think the quality of the sound bank is good. Now the reasons I give it only 3 stars are this: 1. This unit has to have one of the dumbest power switches (on/off) I have ever encountered & I have a lot of equipment. It's 2016 for heavens sake. No excuse for this unit to have a switch like this. Sometimes you have to play with it to get it on (never had much problem turning it on but turning it off has been a different story).Others have complained about the switch too. Maybe it has been revamped since i bought it, since it was hot off the assembly line but I don't have any word on that. I know others have complained about the power switch also. 2. The output volume of this unit is extremely weak. I cannot get the sound loud enough when i hook the output to a dj mixer. In order for me to get the sound at a good level, The gain for the channel the Alesis is plugged into has to be maxed out. The gain on music channels has to be turned down pretty low and the master out has to be turned up close to all the way to get the total output back to normal level. I am looking into purchasing a line preamp just for this so I can have a "normal" output level signal if I have to plug into a music system that isn't mine. Also the signal to noise ratio could be better. 3. The last issue is cross talk. If the sensitivity of a pad is set too high & you strike an adjacent pad hard enough there is a chance the pad with high sensitivity will trigger also. I've had it happen numerous times. Depends on your style of playing. As of now I think I have found the right settings for my pads & haven't had a problem recently. When I first got it though, I had lots of false triggers. Despite these things, I do like the unit overall once I got use to it & figured out the nuances. I've learned to work around the issues. I know my review of the issues might deter you but dont knock it til you try it. Atleast you know the issues going in. ... show more

    • Garbage. do not buy. get a kat or boppad
Size: 4-pad Style: Instrument Only
I really wanted this to work well. I like the compact form factor and the look. I like the light up pads. but the the pads are awful and not responsive enough. the two small pads do not trigger consistantly at all. in fact they dont trigger most of the time unless you really pound on it. i was very disappointed in this. The pads just arent sensitive enough. not playable at all with hands and you really have to whack it hard with the sticks. no light drumming. I honestly dont know how a product like this makes it to market. I also tried out the Kat ktmp1 - and LOVE it. the form factor isnt quite as nice looking, but it WORKS. you can tap with fingers or sticks. the pads all work. theyre easy to set up. you get a few stages of velocity with hands or sticks. I also tried the Keith McMillen Boppad. which is also really great. it feels very well made and i like that its usb bus powered so is plug and play with an ipad or daw. its advertised as having more layers of velocity and cc 'zones' on each pad, but in practice it wasnt very precise and that feature isnt really that usable for me. I went with the kat mostly bc of price. do not buy the alesis. those other are real drum pads. the alesis is total garbage. returned. ... show more

    • Great tool for working drummers that need a few samples along
Size: 4-pad Style: Instrument Only
I've had this for around a year now. Use it live exclusively. So far, I've had ZERO problems. IT's been a very solid piece of gear. I downloaded all the Alesis sounds onto the card, but mostly I use the built in sounds. I don't need a ton of samples these days, but I do need things like handclap. I could get tamborine/cowbell setups, but our mixer is out of inputs, so I use these electronic versions. Nice that it has built in reverb! I've yet to use an external trigger, but I"m thinking about it. I could use a small pad, right honey? Pros: good clean sounds, small size fits anywhere. Pads are nice. Solid construction and dependable performance. . Cons: I'd like a brighter view screen for outdoor shows. Not a big con, but I thought I'd mention it. Once in a while, the SD card pops loose, and I have to push it back in. This happens when casing / uncasing it, User error, but if it were inset somehow where one couldn't accidentally hit it, it would be better. Wish list. Make the same item with two more bar shaped pads along the bottom with a couple of more inputs, and you could built an entire drum set with this. Would be cool if it came in a roundish shape. ... show more

    • Not for professional use
Size: 4-pad Style: Instrument Only
We bought one of these to use in live performance. We're a working, somewhat "serious" band, and we don't exactly take it easy on our equipment. This failed the test. Horribly. Pros: When it works, it sounds pretty good! After she re-programmed the drum sounds (the factory ones are terrible), our drummer can make it sound like an entire drum kit! And much more portable. Cons: You never know when it's going to stop working or do something strange. Here are some things it has done: 1) Line noise. Other reviews commented on this as well. It generates a hum which sounds like a ground loop, even though there isn't one. Sometimes you can hear it, sometimes you can't. No idea why. 2) Not durable. The pad triggers "bleed" into each other -- you hit one pad, and it makes the sounds from other pads. This is also common and discussed on the Alesis support forums. Is this because we hit it with a stick too many times? Maybe. But that's what drummers do!!! 3) Bad control placement. When you're playing, it's pretty easy to accidentally hit one of the arrow buttons. Our drummer does this all the time. It switches the patch. So, in the middle of a performance, all of the sudden the sounds change! 4) Incomprehensible tone changes. We haven't figure this one out. For no apparent reason, the tone of the sound changed during our rehearsal. Everything sounded muffled and ringy. We restored the factory settings and it fixed the problem. But... what the heck? We have no idea what caused this. Conclusion: This might work for a home studio if you treat it very gingerly. But for professional use? No way. It's waaaaaaaaay too fragile. As others have mentioned, the price point is appealing; but, I now wish we'd saved up for the real deal. :-( Anybody wanna buy a used one?? ... show more
