great addition to the acoustic drum set

Comments about Alesis Performance Pad:

anyone familiar with the SR-16 drum machine, or any drum machine will find this unit user friendly. setup is quick and easy. great punchy electronic drum and percussion sounds adds color and versatility to my playing style. having a handful of different sounds can enhance your sound, and the drumset. the gum rubber, velocity sensitive pads have a good feel and has a good size playing surface. it kinda forces you to play more precisely....that's a good thing! mounts perfectly to a cymbal stand with the Roland ACR-33 mount kit. only 2 downsides which are trivial but important for live/club use are: the display is LCD and is not backlit. a strategically mounted LED clip lite is a good fix. buttons are on the small side.
