Roland SPD-30-BK Octapad 4-stars Reviews

Excellent Value, Recommended

I use this as a physical controller for creating more natural drumming phrases. I decided to purchase it after originally selecting another product, that left me frustrated with all its severe ghost triggering of pads that i never had hit - so it was impossible not to notice that this product from Roland has no such issues. The build quality is fine, despite the fact that the main body is made of plastic. The audio quality is excellent, however one must have a taste for Roland's drum samples in order to be fully satisfied with this one. I, myself prefer a slightly different drum sound palette. Even so, the percussion samples from Asia and other parts of the world are excellent and intelligently organized. I recommend this one.
