## Description

With BopPad you can bring a whole new level of sonic possibility to your drum set, trigger samples, sound effects, pads and chords. Unleash your creativity by playing your synthesizer in a whole new way. So portable you can bring it everywhere, write your next big hit, and never miss a beat when inspiration strikes. Boppad has an extremely wide dynamic range and measures strike velocity from the softest hand drumming to the most brutal percussive assault. A robust tuned Elastomer surface covers a 10” circle of our patented Smart sensor fabric to give you traditional feel and a new dimension of expressivity. Boppad can also operate as a conventional practice pad with a realistic feel and portable, lightweight design.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent drum pad, but the software needs to catch up.
*by R***Y on July 24, 2020*

The drum pad has everything I have wanted in a drum pad. Sensitivity for hand drumming and a good dynamic range. The 4 zones are the right size and placement for easy drumming.I am an amateur drummer ( I just play along with songs on headphones ) and I have owned 3 different electronic drum sets and about 5 different drum pad modules. I have always wanted pads with enough sensitivity for hand drumming that didn't cost a fortune, and these are it.The major drawback I am experiencing though is the lack of support in software. I have connected my BopPad to my iPad and played using GarageBand. With this arrangement I can't change the instruments assigned to the zones and there is an annoying latency.I wish KMI would make a plug-in designed just for the BopPad that would include drum sounds as well as controls for the pad. I know pros using DAWs on laptops and desktops get great play out of their BopPads, but I would like an app or plug-in that is easy to set up for amateurs like myself, and preferably for the iPad.

### ⭐ Nahhh
*by A***R on November 9, 2022*

Just doesn't feel right, I found it hard to configure and use. There's a decent amount of sensitivity but it's inconsistent, and/or unpredictable. Money wasted...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Arrived Without USB Cable, With Hairs and Sticky Liquid Residue, and With a Broken Box (SEE EDIT)
*by H***K on April 9, 2021*

The media could not be loaded. I don't really care that the box was broken, and to be fair, the hairs might have gotten on it when it was being boxed at the factory. It's also possible that the person who packed it brand new laughed hard right after taking a sip of Coca-Cola or something, but the fact that the USB cable was missing leads me to believe that this was most likely a used item sold to me as new for full price. Pretty disappointing.I don't have a long enough mini USB cable to see if it works, but I bet it does. It's built really well, and I like the way the materials feel.EDIT: I returned that one and got my new one today, and I love it! The software is a little buggy, but it's honestly not too bad, and I was able to get it to work pretty reliably after reading the manual and some trial and error to get the velocities to track right. I had to quit the BopPad Editor app and unplug the unit a few times when things were acting weird, but that simple solution worked every time. One pretty minor but still annoying thing is that the top right quadrant of my pad is a little less sensitive than the others, and it takes a slightly harder tap on that one to trigger it. That being said, it still responds to very light taps, and I don't see that being a problem at all in use.The build quality and the way the materials feel is great, and it's surprising how little latency there is. I wonder how they were able to achieve that. The included micro USB cable is a good length if you want to use this next to your laptop, but it's going to be too short for quite a few users, and I ended up ordering a longer one. I don't mind that minor inconvenience, but I do think they should have included at least a 6-foot cable.I've only used this for a total of a few hours, but I already feel like I've ironed out some of the "issues" that are common complaints by taking the time to carefully set it up right for the way I'm playing it. It was a longer process than I was expecting, but I think it's a very important thing for every new user to do. The only problem now is that I always thought I'd be able to make awesome beats right away if I finally had a device like this that let me use my hands, and it turns out I have a lot of practicing to do.Anyway, the main point of all this is that I'm really happy with this device, and aside from a few minor quirks it's even better than I hoped it would be.
