Computer Keyboard As Drum Pad

The stand is great for a drum pad. I use mine with my Performance Pad Pro and it is very stable and fully adjustable. I am impressed with the quality and think I will have this around for many many years.

Gets the job done. Our computers are all different, but at every computer we use the same mouse, keyboard, mouse pad and wrist pad. Makes it so much easier to go from one studio to the next. Everything feels the same.

Great keyboard, I like that it has the number pad.

This is the best Drum Pad Ive ever seen or used.  Simplicity makes it great....no menu (no aggravation)...reverb/distortion, volume, tuning, and selection knobs...and a little button that will give you an alternate sound to each setting. Its almost like analog and fun to use...and its currently not all that expensive. A mono output on the back panel and a stereo headphones out - also on the back panel - (which I use to connect to a mixer with a 1/4 TRS to Double !/4 TRS Cable). It solves a lot of percussion problems - if you lack a drummer at times or all the time.

This allowed me to mount my Alesis drum control pad. It is very stable and holds up to abuse.

Playing this finger drum pad is addictive! It has great samples of acoustic and electronic drum kits, velocity and aftertouch sensitivity and midi over usb. Its got a built in rechargeable battery, a pretty good speaker for couch jamming, and the headphone out doubles as a line out for production work. They make a higher priced option that has a few more kits in it and an LED screen, which might be helpful if you plan to play it live. For me it’s a studio and couch instrument, the voice isn’t annoying (kinda charming tbh) and the lack of screen is a nice break for my eyes.

I like it! I have an acoustic drum set but have wanted additional sounds without hauling additional devices around. I have a cowbell. I want a deeper one as well. I want occasional roto toms, Timbales, electronic toms, chime tree, gong, even bass drum with my hand. I got a footboard pad as well and can play any sound with my module with my left foot, especially snare drum or cowbell. I've just discovered many new possibilities! The BT1 is a perfect size with many mounting possibilities. Since I move it from two drum sets and my practice set, I decided to mount it on a separate stand and it stays in front of my snare drum. It's out of the way unless I want to play it with either hand. So far it seems to be a durable piece of equipment. It's a basic plug it in to a sound module and play it. There are a couple set up adjustments for sound level and sensitivity. I wasn't getting every beat I played on it. But then I got the bright idea to reread setup and found in my module settings a specific BT1 input for sound pad. That put sensitivity and other levels perfect and now I love it! I definitely recommend it!

This drum pad is exactly what I was looking for. I knew it wasn’t capable of programming different kits but wanted it for extra sounds to add to my acoustic drum kit. I played it with a choir for a song and people really liked the sound being played through a small powered speaker. Had the ride, tom, snare and kick setup and it really went well with the song. I haven’t noticed any cross talk but if the drum stick is too close to parallel you can hit two pads at the same time with the tip and shaft of the the drum stick. Great for practice with headphones. My nephew had a blast playing the cowbell and other tones while his dad and I jammed. Might need to get him one for Christmas. The adjustability with tuning and reverb gives more options to try to match pitch and ambiance. The sensitivity setting works but is not fabulous. Have not tried hooking it up to my computer yet but imagine it would work well. I would recommend this for someone looking for something to practice on or just play around with. I sawed the top off of a cheap music stand that I got for free and the mount plate slides over it perfectly with just a little bit of duct tape so it holds firm. Can’t angle it but I can adjust the height. For the price this drum pad is totally worth it. If you are more serious about performing live you’ll probably want something more versatile but this works perfect as it is intended.

I bought a pair of these to use as dedicated drum overheads, and they're great in that capacity. I have the -20 db pad engaged to better utilize my preamp. The only problem is that I keep taking one of the mics down to use on other sources. They sound great on guitar cab and incredible on my voice.

This case is perfect for fitting my SPD-SX drum pad with the mount on, power supply, stereo DI box and cables in. My only wish is that it had TSA locks/latches like my i-series laptop case, but that was my fault for not noticing.
