The hit of the pad is nice, not too expensive, good quality, and simple hyper. To change the rating of each pad must pass through the small program, we made ​​it, it works fine. Listed use it thickens. My very personal opinion as a drummer is this lack of sensitivity. (Unless I missed something QLQ, apart from the full level. I corrugerais if I find something) the ghost notes, and other mini roullements really do not pass all tappoter not enough ... too bad for me, that's what I expected (such tappotter burreau on the job with 10 fingers without effort). I tested it with EZdrummer and other classic sounds normal velocity from plusgins Cubase ... However to launch loops, do some live, or schedule quiet, it is more than enough, and that's better than a heavy touch keyboard (like I own).

otherwise:
-I Have 2 weeks.
-I like its simplicity, its 18 pads that allow a diverse game. Good design, the power supply via USB.
-I have not tried other, and I should have! As there was no prior notice, I started.
I had BAR roland tr, Yam ry, which not respond so bad. the akai done a little better.
-Report Very good value following the use made ​​of it.
-I'll See to part with it because not sensitive enough for my taste. Would agree to many users hom-studio owner, but I was expecting a little more sensitive to pad strikes like me. (I'll have to put more expensive damage)

I put him anyway 8 because it is a good product for its price, and you have to buy if the sensitivity is not your main expectation.
Zic good to all, and a good choice!</span>
