Considerations
- Sound Quality: While the library is large, the raw sample quality may not be as pristine or dynamically deep as those found in higher-end models from Roland or Yamaha.
- Triggering: While improved, the pad responsiveness might still be less refined than professional alternatives, particularly with fast or complex dynamics.
- Focus: It is heavily focused on Indian/Bollywood/World sounds; if your primary need is strictly acoustic drum sounds, a different model might be better suited.
It is widely regarded as an excellent choice for a dedicated percussionist looking for a comprehensive, feature-rich, and budget-conscious multi-pad.
