Often triggers randomly

If this would be working as promised, it would be a great drum pad. However, when hitting a pad, it often sends incorrect midi data (say 1 out of 15 hits). Sometimes it triggers one hit twice, other times it cuts off the note immediately. In my opinion this renders the product unusable, because I need to correct the midi data in my DAW a lot. I should have listened to the warnings on the internet given by other reviewers. If you walk into the same trap as I did, don't say you weren't warned!

poor quality

I'm quite dissapointed with this controller.

Very poor quality. The box was already opened, the pads were dirty.

But the worst thing about this one - is the pads: the velocity is very law, impossible to do some dynamic finger-drumming.

But the worst part is that the velocity of each pad is different.

Don't reccomend to buy online. You should touch and check velocity yourself before getting one.
