Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Nord Drum 3P is a compact modeling percussion synthesizer with an integrated multipad, external kick input, and six channels for building and playing synthesized drum sounds. Tone, Noise, and Click sections let you shape the sound in real time, with four Tone synthesis modes and dynamic controls that respond to playing. Drum Select makes it fast to assign preset sounds to individual pads, while per-channel effects and global reverb and delay help finish a kit. At under 2 kg, it is easy to bring to rehearsal.
