Pearl Mimic Pro

Don't buy

The unit was replaced two times and still have audio drops. Not usable for pro.

The best e-drum module on the planet, period!!!!

The hype is correct, the Mimic Pro is that good.

First and foremost the sounds are amazing. I have owned Alesis, Roland and 2Box modules and the MP out performs all of them. The sample quality is fantastic. I use the module for practice and gigging with my band and it has been excellent in both environments. The interface is very good and the response of the touch screen is superb. Build quality is again top of the line. The unit is very well made and has a heavy duty and robust feel to it. Having looked at the obvious positives of the unit, there are some other points e-drummers need to think about. The MP is NOT a module for the beginner. It is essentially a studio drum computer with great sounds. There is a large learning curve to get to grips with all of the MP's features. You can change every setting and nuance imaginable of the samples in terms of compression, thresholds, dynamics, mic settings (direct and overhead), room settings, fx, mods - this is a small sample of the options available!!! The customisation options are endless. Invest time to understand the module and you will have the best e-drum experience possible.
