Kat Percussion KTMP1 Electronic Drum and Percussion Pad Sound Module, Black

Very independent realistic sounds

Not as complex as most pads out, but it give you an amazing range of FX that does the job just as well. The unit is sturdy and durable. It's like quality product for an affordable price. I purchased two of them, and I'm completely satisfied. I would get this, as long as they keep it at the price point the have it at.

I love this drumpad for hand drumming. It has decent sounds and decent build quality. However the midi features are really flawed and there is no technical support whatsoever. This will not work with most drum vsts and software etc. Because it only outputs o zero millisecond note lengths. This causes it to not be able to trigger a large portion of drum samples and vsts etc. There is no way of changing the note length so you are almost limited to using just the onboard sounds. I hope they can fix this but it's been out for a while and no support exists. Can't recommend this for use with and type of midi devices whether software vsts or USB midi etc.

Works great but I wish the samples were of better sound quality and had more variety of the samples like cowbell, hand claps and bell tree chimes. Also some of the samples are too short, like the chimes.

Fun and easy yet kinda limited.I still use midi w Ableton live to expand this kat and it makes it more powerful.Worth the price .Thanks Kat

I have owned the Alesis Perc-Pad for several months now, I needed some fun sounds in our cover band and it did the trick for awhile. I saw that this had just come out so took a chance and ordered one. First off the sounds are great, every bit as good as the Alesis unit however there are 25 more here ! This pad has 50 vs the Alesis 25 and they are all usable and really open up the scope of color you can add to your drumming ! I use mine in combination and as an add on to my Acustic drums, its a lot of fun and really ads needed color and cool sounds to some of the disco and funk songs my band covers ! If your considering the Alesis parcpad..Don't, buy this instead, 50 sounds vs 25, the ability to trigger your kick drum which the aleis doesn't do, Midi control and USB hookup to trigger anything you want from a laptop ! All for the same price as the Alesis ! My Percpad is now on Ebay as this unit is built just as well but has twice the feature set for the same exact amount of money ! Great job KAT ! I love it ! By the way it uses the same mount as the alesis also so no issues there, its standard.

I write and record my own music, and was sick of programming drums through the SR-16. It was to the point that I had projects I wasn't going to finish because I hated that process so much. The KAT has completely changed that. I purchased this to use as a midi interface with a SR-16 drum machine so that I could play the parts while recording. I'm not a drummer so I usually play one part, maybe two, at a time. It worked perfectly with that using the midi out from this into the SR-16. That being said, I really like some of the drum sounds right out of this thing. For my needs, I pretty much have stopped using the SR-16 and just use the built in sounds of the KAT. As other's have mentioned, the downside is that there is no recall function. I usually leave the pads assigned to the same sounds, so it's not that big of a deal. When I do change them, I have written down the settings so moving back is not time consuming. This works for home recording. If you're trying to switch live, it will be more challenging. At that point, I'd recommend using the midi into another device, and switching scenes on the secondary device. I will probably never use this live, but that's what I'd do if I had to use more than 4 sounds. ***I am using this for surf/rock drums. I'm not a drummer and don't use complicated drum parts. A better drummer could probably get way more out of this, but for what I need, this works perfectly.

I really love this drumpad. Very fun to play. I get decent out put paired with my amp. Very simple controls, easy to figure out. Lightweight, easily fits in my backpack to transport to my group jam session. I'm not the dedicated drummer of the group but I'm capable to fill in in a pinch when our real drummer isn't available. The only Con: Is it's very basic. Kick drum, snare, ride but no crash, No exotic sounds except for a Shaker,type noise, no variety, no cowbell, no footpedal included ( must be bought sepetately)..Great buy compared to a similar pad for hundreds more.
