Alesis Sample Pad 4

Its nice and easy to use but still there a many things needed to be done inside and u can't depend on the pad to be 100% drums this impossible it can be only a side pad drum or for looping effects

Funciona bien y los presets que trae incluidos suenan bien, de repente falla un poco la sensibilidad en algunos pads pero acepto que no tiene que funcionar perfectamente ya que en este tipo de dispositivos digitales no se puede lograr la precisión al 100% que te brinda un instrumento acústico pero estoy muy conforme con el pad.

I felt intimidated to use this, it’s my first piece of equipment that plugs in. I received a drum trigger for a gift and watched some YouTube videos and visited Alesis’ website and downloaded their many extra free loops and samples.When it came down to use I was blown away at the ease of use. For someone who can feel overwhelmed by tech I can say that I felt comfortable setting it up, adding and using a kick drum trigger. I have added some info my own loops I wrote on a synth. I use it on a snare stand to the left of my hats and am comfortable with that. It’s opened up a whole new world of drumming for me, at, what I feel, to be a very reasonable price.Only purchase 32 gig SD cards as anything larger can not be read. I’m very, very excited about this purchase!

Liked it. The right top pad has some working issues though. It work at times and not at times

Es una bateria muy buena para los que se inician o para los bateristas como complemento a su acustica

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.
