I had ordered this before but was rushing to use it in a live performance. I didn't have time to set up sensitivity and pad configurations. I thought I didn't like it then and rushed to send it back. Later I got the alesis strike pad. And it wasn't up to par for that much money. And sent that back to. So now a few months later I re ordered this lekato and sat down with to really program the sensitivity for playing congos with hands. And WOW👌 WOW WOW! This lekato percussion pad can play congo like playing real congos. The sensitivity can be adjusted to your liking. But it's amazing how I programed it. And it's really easy and intuitive, unlike the alesis strike pad. This is better than the Alesis strike and better than the Yamaha DTX. I play on the lakato like playing my real 4 congos. And I don't have to hit the pads hard at all. In fact I'm playing with my 3 fingers like I do on real congos. I'm faster playing that way. The yamaha dtx cost like $600. And they brag on their percussion mode. Well not all that. And still can't play without having to kind of hit the pads hard, even in hand mode. This Lekato percussion pad is well worth the $250.00. It's also light weight. Lighter than the Yamaha and Alesis. But I like how easy it is to use and manipulate/change pad locations, sensitivity and more stuff that's way easier than the other 2 percussion pads I had returned. And this is like half less the price of those others. Oh, and also with those others I mentioned they have like a hollow sound when you strike the pads. Like the inside of it is made of a box. So they are never really quiet like this lekato. I play in the middle of the night with headphones and by me only having to strike lightly to trigger sounds it's barely even heard from the room. Doesent sound like hitting a hollow box. Listen, for the price so low. This lekato percussion pad is well worth it. I've had no misstriggers ir cross talk and my finger and drum rolls registered just as fast as I'm playing. I do lots of rolls and solos with my hands in congo mode and sticks in drum modes. And as fast as I roll, the lekato rolls too. So I'm playing with confidence and comfort in the machine handling my style. Trust. I'm keeping this one. I was going to buy the $800 aleseis as a last try to find my style. But something said try the lekato again but take a few minutes this time to set it up. Once I did all the set ups. I'm so glad I didn't pay all that money for the alesis. Sure the alesis has lots more sounds. But really... who really uses 7000 sounds? I can create just as good sounds on lekato with a few tweaks in the settings. The lekato and avatar are basically the same in everyday, if your wondering. Exactly same, just different name. But the Avatar is just a tad more expensive than the lekato. Not much more, Like 30 or 40 bucks. So getting this Lekato is cheaper price wise but Exactly the same. So go with lekato. Plus lekato has better customer support if needed. That's my review. I'm satisfied

Works and sounds great. Lots of adjustments available to the 30 drum kits supplied, plus you can load your own. Perfect for a beginner or someone who wants more advanced features. Play it right out of the box or enjoy lots of tweaking. Probably the best pad for the money. I recommend you buy a Lekato foot switch for a kick drum option. Buy two so you can control high hat in addition to kick drum. They are about 50 bucks each (same foot switch for either application). The Lekato appears to be the same as the Avatar.

If you need a drum pad with a sequencer, sampler, and tons of effects, this isn't for you. But if you need an inexpensive way to add percussion sounds to your drum set, this may be the perfect choice. It sounds good, is solidly built, and it held up at a bunch of rehearsals and gigs. Excellent value for the money

I'm not a drummer, but I'm a multi-instrumentalist working on a solo live show. I wanted a drum pad for playing things into a Boss looper pedal, but the Roland pad I really wanted was way too expensive for my needs. I just gave them a wad for a Fantom 6 EX, so I started exploring cheaper options. This was on sale for Prime Days, so I took a chance. And after doing some tweaking in settings for sensitivity and building a few of my own kits from the hundreds of included samples, and I was off to the races. This does everything I need it to do, and it plays fairly well. You'll want to add a suitable kick pedal, and maybe another one for the hi-hat. But after a couple of days my meager drum and percussion skills are coming back into focus. Lots of fun for the money, and actually playable as a reliable musical instrument. It'll be on stage with me soon.

The pad emits a wonderful sound. A little hard to figure out when personalizing it but not too hard to catch on.

Just want to save somebody some time. This kit is relatively low quality and has been rebranded several time (AXS, NIO, etc). It's just.. not nice. The sounds are uninspiring and very plain, on the order of a 90's yamaha drum pad. There is no flexibility or anything "fun" about it. The unit is built cheap and feels easily breakable. The pads are poor quality. The unit I bought was glitchy but I suspect that all of them might be like this: when you hit a button it would sometimes register as two or many. You cannot change the Tx MIDI channel (it is always stuck at 10), and this is just one example of of inflexibility. As someone else wrote, and I should have paid better attention: you can't drum fast on this thing. No 1/16th notes for sure, meaning, the processing power is cheap too. Not worth your time.

If you research the history of this unit a little it's a fun story and sheds light on why such a high quality sample pad has showed up with so many random brands slapped onto it. I honestly can't speak too much for the on-unit functions -- tried them out and they seem to work just fine -- but I mainly got this to use as a midi trigger and it works great for that. Haven't noticed any cross triggering at all and you can easily expand with some extra triggers. The pads have an interesting double-trigger feature that works based on how hard you hit the pad. Seems to work mostly as intended but I'm not the best drummer so it's 100% likely that any lack in consistency is just my technique. Anyhow, TL;DR if you need a midi pad controller for drums or whatever else don't be put off by the random branding, this thing is good stuff.

The build on this feels cheaper the sounds and a little MEH. That said, for the price you can take this item scrub the sounds and import way better ones. It lack the bells and whistles of is more expensive counterparts but if your looking for a mini kit this would do it. Also, large amount of triggers and pads to trick out the unit. Affordable.

Excelente llego antes de la fecha

Für Anfänger ganz okay , für meinen Geschmack zu wenig Möglichkeiten. Die Software hat nicht mal ein Ton um ein Kit mit eigenen Tönen zu erstellen. Das macht es sehr umständlich und kompliziert. Die ,, Navigation ist etwas kompliziert, mir passiert es das ich fast immer den falschen Knopf drücke. Dennoch wenn man einfach nur ein wenig drummen möchte und es einfach erstmal Testen möchte ob es einen liegt , dafür reicht es definitiv aus.
