PD705 Sample Pad, Portable Multipad for Drummers, With 9 Velocity Sensitive Drum Pads, 592 Percussion Sounds, Support USB/MIDI In Out/AUX

I can't speak to the quality of the on-board sounds. I'm exclusively using my PD-705 to trigger drum plugins such as GetGoodDrums and Addictive Drums 2 on my computer (and you should too!) To that end this unit has been perfect for my needs. Even at low threshold settings I'm getting zero crosstalk between pads. The sensitivity setting offers a lot of flexibility and it didn't take long to get things feeling good. The Log/Exp velocity curves and two-voice layering gives a lot of control over dynamics without even having to touch the plugins' settings. It also works perfectly with my Roland KT-10 kick trigger. My goal was to make a compact "Closet E-Kit" that I could use in my home studio without bothering anyone outside. I paired my PD-705 with a Zildjian L80 Low Volume Hi Hat (going into my headphones via SM57) and I'm blown away at how capable this little setup is. Gotta do fills with T-Rex arms (lol) but the foot positions are like a real kit and it's surprisingly addictive to jam on. Highly recommended if you don't want to go the full e-kit route but still want something that feels good to play. I plan to expand mine with a mesh snare and maybe a couple cymbal pads, but I've been using it like this for two weeks now and could keep it as is. There's enough pads for everything I need in my typical kit setup (snare, two toms, two crashes, ride, bell, snare rim). Hopefully it has the same durability as bigger brands. I will update the review if things start wearing out sooner than expected. But for now I couldn't be happier.

Dropped my Roland SPD-S on stage a few years ago,and needed a replacement!Because I'm a percussion player (Congas,Timabales etc.)I didn't really wanna drop the $1200,00 plus for the New SPDX!Looked on youtube and saw different percussion pads,but needed something simple because I'm not one of those tech drum types!THIS FIT THE BILL!Although you can import sounds to it (I'm not there yet lol) but the presets are awsome! My favorite one is THE VENUE SET! My only gripe is that I couldn't get a bundle price and had to buy the Pad,The stand and the two foot pedals separately ! But IT ALL WAS STILL UNDER $500.00 the AVATAR PD 705....IS WELL WORTH IT!!!!!

This sampling pad far exceeded my expectations in many ways. It is built well and has a lot of creative and excellent features. I actually would grade this a five out of five stars for the unit itself. However, the software aspect is a little lacking. There are no clear instructions and unless you’ve had another device like this, it will be difficult for you to navigate through on your first time. Unlike the software, the sampling pad itself is very intuitive. Ultimately, this is great value for what you get and it seems to be working great after several weeks of playing. I strongly recommend to get a stand for this unit.

Hermosa máquina , un lujo

This is my second unit first one had some issues with the headphone output and speaker/amp output would intermittently pop, Sound while playing. The unit is made well looks professional and it sounds really good and easy to customize the sounds of each kit. I play with a kick pad and foot switch for high hat.

It's an inexpensive option for a sample pad. The fact that you can easily put your own sounds or accompaniment on it makes it worth while. The pads are not consistent t. The quality is ok. It's a fun toy and might work well for someone that's really good with this stuff.

Excelente producto. De primera calidad. Super conforme

The box arrived in a sealed plastic wrapper as one might expect with a new product, but when I removed the wrapper and opened the box, the unit had marks on it as if someone with drumsticks had played it and missed the pads. My purchase was for a new one. Nevertheless, I plugged it in, turned it on, and started reading the manual (which wasn't in new condition either by the way). I figured, if everything worked as advertised, I might be inclined to overlook the non-newness of the device and save myself the hassle of returning it. Unfortunately, one of the pads stopped working shortly after I started tapping on it. I reached out to the manufacturer, but received no response, so I returned it. I found the software buggy, the interface counter-intuitive, and the manual in-comprehendible. The application for loading new sounds that I downloaded from the manufacturer's website did not work either. Too bad.

Buen producto. Es un gran regalo. Cumple su propósito.
