General

With the PercPad by Alesis you can add four assignable drum pad sounds and an optional kick trigger to your existing acoustic or electronic kit or percussion setup. The PercPad is compact enough to fit into even the smallest of setups and it's easy to use giving you instant access to additional sounds.

PercPad

The four assignable velocity-sensitive pads and kickpad input give you plenty of options as the PercPad has no fewer than 25 of the most desirable drum and percussion sounds on board. Best of all, the sounds are tunable and editable too! You can place the PercPad on a flat surface like a table but it also fits standard snare drum stands and can be mounted on any stand or rack using the separately available Module Mount.

Alesis PercPad
Wrote the following about Alesis PercPad
Prima pads, aanslaggevoeligheid met stokken is prima. Met de handen moet je wel vrij hard slaan, daar is hij wat minder geschikt voor. Ingebouwde geluiden zijn niet veel soeps, maar met de MIDI uitgang sluit je hem makkelijk op een geluidskaart of module aan. Heeft helaas geen USB uitgang voor direct aansluiten op een computer. Voor dit geld is het een uitstekend ding.

Geweldig apparaat! Makkelijk te bevestigen op een snarestandaard, makkelijk intuitief in te stellen.
Wat wel enigzins wennen is de aanslaggevoeligheid: voor de stokjes prima maar percussei met de hand wil het nog wel eens te ongevoelig zijn. Moet je even feeling mee krijgen en dan lukt dat wel.
Handzaam, makkelijk meenemen.

Helaas niet draadloos: kan niet op batterijen.

Alesis Sample Pad 4 - Ideal for Ensembles

Tuesday 3 November 2015

Let's be honest; a large drum is great to look at, but it's also cumbersome and quite expensive. The same goes for a number of other instruments. Beautiful as they are to behold, not all musical instruments are equally manageable. Fortunately, Alesis offers a practical alternative with their Sample Pad 4.

The Roland SPD-SX PRO: The Boss of All Sampling Pads

Tuesday 20 September 2022 By Kim | Bax Music

It's already been ten years since the release of the Roland SPD-SX: a solid and reliable sidekick for drummers and musicians alike that, due to its age, now has a few noticeable limitations. As such, the all-new SPD-SX PRO is a direct response to user feedback, and since it does everything that the OG did but does it even better, Roland have basically dropped the new end-boss of the sampling pad universe.
