I need to start incorporating electronics into my playing. - wish i could get my hands on one of these-. Thank you for this review... love your material!!
It has the same Problem like the Alesis Samplepad: When hitting two adjacent pads at exactly the same time, only one gets triggered. I am not even a drummer, why is nobody else noticing this? If you are using it to extend your acoustic drumset, you are fine, but if you are trying to use it alone you are doomed. Greetings from Schleswig Holstein.
This is the review I was looking for. Thank you. Almost made me go for it but I have the alesis samplepad and maaaan it sucks because that particular reason... I am a drummer and sometimes, (like all drummers do)I need to hit two adjacent pads at once just because the music asks for it. Worth mentioning that if this is like the alesis sample pad, then please stay away from trying to use a highr sensitivity on those pads... they might just trigger because of harder vibrations on big stages. Your comment should be more visible. Again, thank you and I hope everybody will read your comment before buying.
Are two midi notes still sent? I'm thinking about buying this to control other gear and I don't really care whether the internal sounds are triggered or not.
For the price I would use this for triggering sounds from superior drummer or for programming midi. I don’t care for the stock sounds too much. I would probably never use them maybe with the exception of the more electronic sounding ones.
Thanks for the good review! I have a question. You said that you have the possibility to have 50 own kits where u can put your own samples on. But on other reviews of the Millenium NonaPad there is always talked about 20. This makes for me the difference if I buy it or not because I can just use 8 own kits on my Alesis pad and I need to fix more kits for a whole live show (for every song one kit). Would be great to know that! Best greetings Michael
Nice nice..! About the Loop-Function; Is it possible to play for Example a 4onthefloor rhythm with the kick from one Kit and than CHANGE the Kit and play some Handclap or cowbell or whatever layering over the (kick)loop from another Kit and so on or is the first sound also CHANGING..??
7:30 imagine playing Supermassive Black Hole with DNB sound beside Dominic Howard drum kit would sound amazing on the intro part. Can you review the Gewa electronic drums that Pascal played on Rob Bourdon kit for a demonstration pls?
Do you think the device is suitable for live concerts? Especially when you need to quickly change the setting? How does it compare to the Roland SPD-SX?
This multi pad takes some features from the spd 30 and spd sx but it cannot compete beyond those features. For example real time efx, adjusting the tempos on loops in real time, and recording and saving your own samples in real time are beyond what this low cost pad is able to do. But adding additional pedals to create a kit, using the onboard sounds and loops, ability to add your own sounds to create your own kits, and ability to connect it to computer are where a low cost pad like this one will really shine. All depends what you are looking for in a multi pad. For the simplicity of use and cost of this pad is a really good deal though.
I've thought about getting something like that for my home studio for songwriting (being a former drummer I find it much easier to play an idea than program it) but couldn't justify the price. This may be the ticket.
I just purchased the Nonapad and was trying to add a bass drum pedal to FS1. Can you help as I seem to have somehow lost the function of being able to scroll thro the 30kits at the moment I only appear to have the Classic Kit on Display and when I use the right hand wheel to scroll thro the library of kits it doesnt change altho it shows KC1-01 thro to KC1-08?
Sorry for asking here. How do I have to configure the NanoPad if I want to use it with its MIDI output using layers A and B? As it is configured from the factory it does not work. The pad allows you to assign notes to layer A and layer B different notes, but the DAW only receives the note assigned to layer A. Thanks.
Just wondering / I need some advice ! I'm really interesting to buy this because it fits in my budget but I'm wondering if it's possible to import drum one shots via usb stick. Is that possible ? I'm currently using an old Roland SPD 20 with MIDI > Macbook and I want to get rid of it tho. If anyone can help me or has the same thoughts as I have, let me know !
I also like pad that are able to reproduce a large dymnamic range. I use the Gear4Music version. So, here it, one you set the threshold, sensitivity and curve you get a nice responsiveness. Without the theses settings, its actually a bit hot. I only used it for MIDI out into some VSTs and there was latency issue only for the MIDI out notes. I contacted HXW Music and two weeks later they released a new firmware version 2.26. And now there is no more noticeable latency!
I find it remarkable that in 2024, when memory in mass products is traded in Giga- and terrabytes, manufacturers have the nerve to crank out products with 128 Megabite of user-sample usable memory.
Im thinking about it, ive joined a new band, it would definitely help the style they play, some concerts coming up in late April, if i decide to stick with the band, i will buy this toy
Read the comments: It has the same Problem like the Alesis Samplepad: When hitting two adjacent pads at exactly the same time, only one gets triggered.
My take on these things is that they're fine for auxiliary stuff, but they're relatively noisy compared to dedicated e-drum pads, and you don't have as much MIDI flexibility. Hi-hats and cymbals are pretty basic: you're not going to get a solid Jo Jones swing hi-hat groove.
Naja, das Pad ist günstig, aber die Sounds klingen auch billig. Erinnert mich sehr an meine altes Yamaha DTX....und das ist fast ein Vierteljahrhundert her. Vielleicht hätte man doch ein wenig mehr in ein vernünftiges Sampling investieren können ...

I hope that Thomann are paying this guy ALOT because he does an incredible job of demonstrating this.

@@adicobai The Roland spd sx or sx pro is much better than this table top electronic drum kit 🥁
this exlpains why they cost less. Although my even cheaper table pad set DD70 does not have that problem!
@@Derayes I got a yamaha fgdp-50 now, and finally I am happy!
Very clean and clear explanation....
For the price I would use this for triggering sounds from superior drummer or for programming midi. I don’t care for the stock sounds too much. I would probably never use them maybe with the exception of the more electronic sounding ones.
Why not
@@vladimird5280 Once you record with the sounds from Superior Drummer 3 it’s hard to go back. IMO.
Ah yes, another HXW pad. I have one that is branded Avatar. These things are great, and very affordable!
This is the cheapest one yet, right? The shipping cost to the US might make it the same price as the others
@@theblackknight870 Yeah, I think so. These things sell out like hotcakes though, we'll see how long it's available.
I was just about to post the exact same! ;)
That price destroys Roland. $179? Amazing.
Exactly - a no brainer when it comes to the price
Great video as always, I’ve ordered mine 👌🏼

This is the same setup as the new ddrum NIO pad. Only differences are branding and color scheme. Are the kit sounds the same, I wonder...?
woooww this is what i want...good review..i understand everything...thanks man
Where can I find what the 608 sounds are? Thanks, I looked on the Millenium NonaPad website and can not find a list of the sounds.
Hey - I requested this from Thomann here in Germany. They have promised a list will published.......

We already did a review of this one.

@@ArtOfDrumming okay, Thanks!
I have it and I love it but not sure how to copy a kit into a new custom kit and then change some sounds.
Do you think the device is suitable for live concerts? Especially when you need to quickly change the setting? How does it compare to the Roland SPD-SX?

Can I use it with my Roland TM2 to expand my trigger inputs Via midi? That would be great, plus the pads of course.
I did The same with my Casio Electric Drum Set & my Normal Drum Kit
i fill like Rob Bourdon 😅
I've thought about getting something like that for my home studio for songwriting (being a former drummer I find it much easier to play an idea than program it) but couldn't justify the price. This may be the ticket.
i’d suggest an electric drum set but nothing beats that drum pad in price
@@tea2920 No room for that at home unfortunately (I have access to mic'd acoustic drums half an hour away for more serious demos)
@@eloann then get the drum pads and idk if you can add pedals but that would be a cool addition
very nice
Thank you
Damn I want this!
I just purchased the Nonapad and was trying to add a bass drum pedal to FS1. Can you help as I seem to have somehow lost the function of being able to scroll thro the 30kits at the moment I only appear to have the Classic Kit on Display and when I use the right hand wheel to scroll thro the library of kits it doesnt change altho it shows KC1-01 thro to KC1-08?

The pad allows you to assign notes to layer A and layer B different notes, but the DAW only receives the note assigned to layer A. Thanks.
Make sure you're adept at linear drumming if you want this as a standalone drum kit.
Damn I’m buying this
Just wondering / I need some advice !
I'm really interesting to buy this because it fits in my budget but I'm wondering if it's possible to import drum one shots via usb stick. Is that possible ? I'm currently using an old Roland SPD 20 with MIDI > Macbook and I want to get rid of it tho.
If anyone can help me or has the same thoughts as I have, let me know !
Did this turn into the drum nio pad?
Is this good choice to use this for midi? Is it responsive? Does it have good velocity sensitivity?
I also like pad that are able to reproduce a large dymnamic range.
I use the Gear4Music version.
So, here it, one you set the threshold, sensitivity and curve you get a nice responsiveness.
Without the theses settings, its actually a bit hot.
I only used it for MIDI out into some VSTs and there was latency issue only for the MIDI out notes.
I contacted HXW Music and two weeks later they released a new firmware version 2.26.
And now there is no more noticeable latency!

I often see Dowoon (Day6) play these pads

Chinese copy of japans spd-sx?
Hey guys im getting problems loading my own sound via my usb drive,iv format it,but stil dont display my sound.help please,tnx
Would you send one to Prague in the Czech republic..?
sure, Thomann also send there
zdarma by jsi to chtěl jo? :DDD
Im thinking about it, ive joined a new band, it would definitely help the style they play, some concerts coming up in late April, if i decide to stick with the band, i will buy this toy
Cool pad nanopad 😎
👍🏻
Its better than the Alesis Strike multipad?

This is no close to the Alesis Strike Multipad.

super fun!!! i dont even need a band anymore..... ..
Guessing this is just a rebranded Avatar HXW PD705 (or vice versa), and they're both made in China?
I record myself to the rhythm of everyone wants to rule the world 7:11
10:58 Bo Diddley
hello thank you for the vide . I BUY IT BUT I DONT KNOW HOW TO ADD LOOPS AND WAVE IN THE NONAPAD CAN YOU HELP ME?
Naja, das Pad ist günstig, aber die Sounds klingen auch billig. Erinnert mich sehr an meine altes Yamaha DTX....und das ist fast ein Vierteljahrhundert her. Vielleicht hätte man doch ein wenig mehr in ein vernünftiges Sampling investieren können ...
How come one body pad and brand name is different, isit anybody can put his brand name on it and sale it in thr name 😏
So they steal Roland design, with more lame sounds...
