Independent shopping perspective
NUX’s black DP-2000 is an eight-pad digital percussion unit for adding acoustic drum, folk percussion, and electronic sounds to a drummer’s setup. Velocity-sensitive pads respond to playing dynamics, and the 20 presets provide starting sound sets. USB sample import lets you build custom patches from your own drum samples; a USB drive can also play WAV files. External trigger connections support a kick drum, hi-hat control pedal, and other triggers, while the layer function assigns separate sounds across pad sections.
