I've played the drum set for 14 years and I was looking for a portable system that I could lay some beats on. This thing was exactly what I wanted. All that was needed was an amp and a cable and you... read more [+] are ready to rock out. The sensitivity is decent. If you've ever played on an electric set before, it's similar to that. You can stick in 2 "Rock-band" foot pedals and it acts as a base pedal and hi-hat pedal. (A drum-set that you can put in your backpack!)December 7, 2011 Music Background: Pro Musician I use this Performance Pad Pro to jam out with other musicians. We play anything from acoustic hip-hop to Dave Matthews cover to worship music. It literally fits all types of music perfectly. If you are looking for some variation on your acoustic drum set, this is perfect too. It has some awesome percussion sounds that complete any seasoned drummers needs. The only thing I found wrong with this was that every once in a while the snare doesn't trigger after a bass hit. It could be me not hitting it in the right spot or something else, but it is very rare when it happens and doesn't affect my playing at all. Conclusion: Get this! If your a seasoned player or just starting this is what you need. Don't order from anywhere else other than Sweet Water. They work with you on everything and you won't find better prices!

October 13, 2011 Music Background: Good bang for the buck
by from
I needed a small portable drum kit that could be carried in a suitcase and used for small live band performances that wasn't expensive. The Alesis performance pad pro fit the bill perfectly. I bought ... read more [+]a Simmons drum pad bracket that screws into the back of the drum pad and then used a cymbal stand to mount it too. I can adjust the height and angle to match my liking. One thing you need to know about this drum pad, It does not use drum triggers for the kick drum & high hat pedal outputs. They will not work. You have to use a sustain pedal from a keyboard or a tap tempo pedal. I actually like this better because they are cheaper and smaller. I do have one negative with the Alesis performance pad pro and to me it is a big negative. October 18, 2011 Music Background: You have 8 pads which you can programed anyway you like, but the kick trigger output is tied to the pad # 1(bottom left) and the high hat pedal output is tied to pad # 4 (bottom right). They are not independent outputs. So if you change pad #1 to snare it will change the kick output to snare. You have to leave pad# 1 as the kick so you can use you kick drum. Dumb! If you use the high hat pedal you lose 2 pads because pad# 4 will be open high hat and pad#3 will be closed high hat and the high hat pedal will toggle between the two pads creating an open and closing high hat sound. Dumber!! Since I will lose 2 pads I don't use the high hat output, I just use the kick pedal so I only lose one pad. My kit is pad# 1 kick(which is also my kick pedal because you can separate the two for some dumb reason). pad #2 snare, #3 closed high hat, #4 ride cymbal, #5 side stick, #6 tom 1, #7 tom 2, and #8 crash. If Alesis would fix that one problem this would be the greatest drum pad kit on the planet. It is still worth $300 and I'm happy with it. I just wish they had the kick and high hat pedal outputs where they could be assignable separately from other 8 pads. But it isn't, so I will just have to learn to live with it, or go spend $500 more for a Roland Octapad. I'll just live with it. close [-] PPP Review
by Ric The Reviewer from Chicago
This unit replaces a drum machine I used in my setup. Why? Because when I play to a comp, I just can't hit those small buttons on the drum machine to create a decent groove.. Enter the PPP. Put in rec... read more [+]ord mode and hit the large pads with your sticks to create a comp to groove against. When I'm not needing accompaniment, I use it as a sound source to give me more colors while grooving or soloing! Nice! I conveniently mount it over my 2 floor toms for easy access. The only complaint I have it Alesis put the volume control in the back by the other jacks. Difficult to turn and adjust without standing up and bending over to adjust it. Maybe there's a way to adjust volume with the pedal inputs that are available. Anyway, great bang for the buck! close [-]
