is it bad manners to laugh?
sheesh someone needs a sense of humour.
Shouldn’t the pads be hexagonal?
It’s not really Simmons so they should not really be hexagonal. Guitar Center bought the name so the could sell cheap (read: crappy) drum products.
looks cheap .. should be $50
I’ll give you $10 and we’ll call it even!
It’s SO CUTE… but so is everything made for the iPad.
Has anyone ACTUALLY played on one?
I would like to have their sound library tho
I want to know if the pads can be played by hand instead of sticks.
And how sensitive are they?
… like a multi-pad Korg – Wavedrum !
I’m sick of so many ‘nano’ pad and keyboard controllers with mini-pads.
Their customer enquiry form is a pain in the a$$ to get through 😐
Cool, but too expensive. Should be $80.
And yes, pads should be hexagonal.
Im trying to find a cheap way to do 808 drops in the middle of songs. Is this a good route?
