IMPORTANT! If you got the DP2000 and you want to add samples or sounds you have to get a FAT32 or FAT16 USB and use WAV files. If you want to upload a song or melody, in the USB you have to create an album called SONG (all capital letters) and you just save the WAV file in there. Then, connect the USB to the DP2000 and click the SONG Button and the files that you added to the USB should be shown in the DP2000 screen. To play it just choose the file and click the PLAY Button next to the DP2000 screen. If you want to upload a sound and trigger it in one of the pads, you create a folder called WAVIMPORT (All capital letters), place the WAV file in there, connect the USB to the DP2000 and go into the settings and look for an option called WAV Import or something like that (My DP2000 is in Chinese so I don't know the exact name of that option) and you should see the WAV files. Choose one and import it and then go to the option where you can change the sounds of the pads, and the WAV file you imported should appear there. Assign it and that's it. I hope this helps since I had to spend a while to find how to do it.
Hey 65. Thanks for the fantastic overview. Objective as always. We appreciate it at NUX. Just want to answer a couple of the questions about the product. 1. USB-C/Bluetooth - There is onboard memory to store the samples from your USB-C stick, so in essence you can copy the samples from your USB-C stick onto the DP-2000 and then you can remove the stick and use the Bluetooth module. It's a workaround to your point in the video. And yes, we didn't make this 100% clear in the manual but we will cover this in an upcoming video. 2. The DP-2000's that are shipping now will include the gigbag, sticks, mount, cable, power, and Bluetooth adapter. So it is a complete package. 3. We are working on offering the ability to add on a kick pedal, hi-hat pedal, and more if needed with customers that are looking to max out their DP-2000 setup. This is kind of new territory for us here in the US, but we can absolutely do this. E-drum Center keeps asking for this and we will oblige. So, no worries there. Again, thank you VERY much for this fantastic video. And it was great to meet you at the NAMM Show!
I am very keen for something like this. I am a producer who plays drums. I have an acoustic kit set up in a live room, but I would like something that I can input simple midi drum parts in the control room when the budget doesn't allow for the real deal. But I am a lefty, so how easy is it to flip the pads, and will it affect the midi notes? Also I will definitely need a kick pad and hat controller.
Great video and excellent overview, Thank You! FYI- NUX is a brand by Cherub Technology based in China (Of course) To me- In the video the unit looks cheap especially the knobs. Listening to the video the instruments sound really good. I know they like to make these pads a certain size but they also need to make larger pad sets or similar to like what Alternate Mode does with their TrapKat. If the footswitch allows you to change pad sounds back and forth A/B and not just A/B/C/D, etc. then that is par for the course. If it doesn't then that's a fail. *When you are adjusting how sensitive a pad is to your hits that is called Velocity Control. If this allows you to trigger different sounds depending on how hard you hit the pad, that's bonus.
I used to have NUX guitar multi effect. Also metal case, clear display, expression pedal calibration, but ex pedal couldn't do what was expected to, compressor was bad, amps and effect simulations - so so. finally I gave it away. Time is moving and hopefully NUX is making progress in quality.
@@xiaokang8692 TBH, that's no surprise. It's a balance thing - in my experience of studio great over the many years I've been doing music... At the low/mid range prices - you can pick either (a) a great sounding unit, but you put it in a really robust recessed rack as it's flimsy AF or (b) tank like build - but a shining example of average, or it does one thing really well and the rest badly
As a guitar player who doesn't play drums but every once in awhile thinking about buying something like this I love the price point and the comments about the build quality. You didn't cover whether the unit plays well with and external MIDI sampler without noticeable delays but I get that it was a limited opportunity. Maybe you can cover that in the future if you have one for a longer period of time.
The Nord Drum 3P costs 500-700 € new incl. VAT (700-1000 CA $) and is an actual drum SYNTH, meaning that you can change and twist endless parameters to get whatever weird sound you have in mind, with a very intuitive interface (and of COURSE a metal case - it's Nord!). I'd prefer that to a 500€ sampling toy from Hongkong any day.
I got the KAT percussion pad for Christmas for 100US, you can also connect a kick and hat to this. It’s basically the same thing as this with half the pads, and is ACTUALLY a good price. This stuff is really good but also really expensive. 🎉
I have the Roland spd-s. I’ve never really used it with my acoustic kit, but I can see lots of uses. Could even allow you to do without a keys player in the band.
Always interesting but honestly.. I just want a new updated SPD 30 with high quality sounds, a bit of sampling memory, a decent amount of external trigger support or for another company to do the same.
The pad is nice but what I’m interested in is the stand. As someone who regularly uses a sample pad for gigs and jam sessions I find the ones with the grabber clamp somewhat annoying to set up. (Even though I’ve only used the Gibraltar unit) If I could find the stand used with this pad separately I’d get it, probably save me setup time since I’m not having to deal with the grabber.
I have a sample pad pro, they're good, but got issues: the pads require maintenance on occasions. The upside is Alesis DID design it easy to repair. The common issue is the soldering on the piezos cracks and gets loose, then it has to be soldered again. I've found after that - a blob of hot glue on the joint keeps it secure
I'm assuming the pads HAVE to be better than the old hard plastic ones on the Octapad, right? This seems pretty impressive for the price, can't wait for your full review.
Everything that's out these days feels like a dream if you ever had to play that old stuff where they thought it was a good idea to use a material that felt like bullet proof glass as a playing surface. Those old Roland triangle pads were deadly.
Hi Justin, you forgot the Avatar/HXW PD 705. I use the Gear4Music Version and it"s fine. I just find something like Carlsbro OKTO A. I use mine exclusively for VST drums or sounds like Taiko or some chromatic percussion, FX. Thanks for that overview!
The Avatar HXW PD705 is the same thing as the ddrum NIO and the LEKATO I covered in the video. So although I didn't name the Avatar, I did mention there were multiple versions. It's true I didn't cover the Carlsbro, but it doesn't seem to be sold in North America. I saw it once at NAMM a few years back, it's odd that they don't sell it here.
@65Drums Hi Justin! Great honor to get a direct reply from one of the most important edrum content creators! Even though I have to apologize, I wasn't aware of the Lekato and DDRUM clones. There is also the Thomann Millenium NonaPad clone. IMHO all you need with Ableton... Take care!
With sample pads I'm usually either overwhelmed or underwhelmed. The top line ones seem a little too complicated for me and the entry level ones seem like you get what you pay for. But this one got my attention right from the beginning of your review. First, I was surprised that I really liked that first "electric" drum sample. It was different than others I've heard. It had a warm well rounded sound. There's a good chance it would wear thin after a short time but it was different. The second was the construction. The steel case really surprised me. That's a good indication they're trying to produce a serious instrument. And the third was being able to import your own samples. At that price you're usually just buying a toy but this is a step up. I'm going to check it out a little further but depending on what other percussion sounds it has possibilities as side percussion.
At a UK price of £176.31 for a pre-order online, it sounds like a great way to introduce that hybrid element to any kit; whether it's standalone, acoustic or e-drumset. It has a robust-looking chassis and a sensible selection of useful software options and connectivity. The bluetooth/USB issue may be a minor stopper for some but at least the transfer of programmable sounds is expandable and flexible by having a download and USB to PC/laptop options. For the dedicate pro then other brands provide assurance in their own niche, but this looks like a great way to get into this type of percussion instrument without buyer's economic regret being the foremost issue. A tidy review Justin, thanks.
How loud are the pads? I found my Alesis Sample Pad Pro to be a bit too loud for my liking, when mixing them in with acoustic drums you hear them a lot.
If the Sample Pad pro was too loud for your situation, then this will probably be too loud for you as well. It's a piece of rubber, the harder you smack it, the louder it gets. If you just bop it, it makes hardly any noise at all
@@BeniRoseMusic Maybe the Strike multipad? It has a softer rubber on it. Or just hit softer, or move the multipad away from your drum mic. That's probably the real solution.
People want to compare it to the strike and spd stuff but how does it compared to the alesis sample pad. Its closer in price range and features (at least I/O) I am looking for something I can mainly use to program drums via midi and play back simple samples live.
Hola, Justin. Tus videos son muy buenos. Tengo una pregunta. ¿Qué opinas sobre el Carlsbro Októ A? Pienso que es una competencia directa del NU-X DP2000. ¡Muchas gracias! Saludos desde Colombia.
I don't know what Roland snare you're talking about specifically, but yes you can take the rubber off. You'll go through drum sticks faster and it'll be louder, but that's about it.
I wish somebody would made a decent quality 6-8 zone pad with only midi out, no BS sample stuff. You get WAY better sounds from VSTs, anyway, so for use in a home studio, having the sample functionality is basically redundant. But the only "midi-out only" pads I can find are either single drums or WAY more expensive than a sample pad, so what's the point then? Should be be punished for not wanting the sample functionality?
cool, i have the Yamaha FGDP-50 and think it's pretty brilliant and immediate to use being self powered and having a speaker.. great fun.@@nerychristian
yeh the pads are very good, better than my mpc one or sp404mkii and apparently only bettered in response by the machine+ pads (close though) however the layout on the yamaha is really cool.. you get 25 pads as opposed to just 16 on the others so lots of flexibility for placement to suit your needs.. i have a cluster of 5 pads just for different HiHats for example. @@nerychristian
oh and the internal sounds have velocity switching/stack so you get between 2 and 4 different samples over a velocity curve. also a humanise function to vary each hit even at same velocity.(humanise is OFF by default) if you try presets in a show/shop btw.
My big question is if the Bluetooth adapter is always included, why couldn't that be built into the device itself? The only thing I can think of is that the single USB-C/Bluetooth input is a limitation of whatever third-party PCB they could source.
Whether a multipad is worth anything to me starts with the pads, then it's the trigger interface, ( sensitivity of course, but why not a dynamics spread parameter to the 127 increments ??? ), and external inputs. if it gets that far, and has a midi out, it's in the running.

This was years ago so I figure they fixed that problem. But I did get burned, so I'm not recommending it currently. It had to be on the comparison list though, because it's at the same price range as the NUX.
I understand. I just wanted folks to know that I have owned for three years and it has been in for repair twice and still has problems. it is not a good product.@@65Drums
Very cool product that I’m pretty sure will be a bang for your buck. I have their flagship drum kit $1500 and hardware wise, it’s a pretty solid piece, even mesh heads are made by Remo, I used it in my studio to track a drummer playing in my latest release “Martin Strang - Like Adults” (if anyone wanna check) the module is ok for practice but not for recording to a professional standard, so I use it hooked to my mac with EZ Drummer into Logic Pro X and results are stellar! Pretty happy with it. I also have their wireless guitar unit $199 and it gets the job done in a fashionable way.

Durability/longevity will be the main factor, when comparing with the alternatives …
Trigger input for 1 pad stereo? Or 2 pad mono mono?
is there a cheap generic kick you can use on it ?
Hey Justin,
I have a question with the Roland snare. Can I take off the rubber rim ring without compromising the sound? Thanks
I don't know what Roland snare you're talking about specifically, but yes you can take the rubber off. You'll go through drum sticks faster and it'll be louder, but that's about it.
What do you recommend for me i want to imitate the acoustic drum set ?
Avatar pd705 or nuxpd2000?
Sounds like a compelling entry into the market and mat make certain companies question their marketing practices.
What happenned to the Strike Module?
I wish somebody would made a decent quality 6-8 zone pad with only midi out, no BS sample stuff.

But the only "midi-out only" pads I can find are either single drums or WAY more expensive than a sample pad, so what's the point then? Should be be punished for not wanting the sample functionality?
Is there any function to invert single pads layout to instantly adapt the device to left handers
I never got the alesis due to cross talk issues is this better ?
is it possible to create loops?
Can it be powered over USB and does it support a half open hi hat?
Q. did you have time to try out these?
1. yamaha FDGP-50 finger drum pad
2. korg multi pad thing
I have the KORG MPS-10. It's a pretty cool drum sampling pad. I enjoy playing it.

Any crosstalk when you ramp up the sensitivity?
That wouldn't happen with sensitivity. There's a possibility when you adjust threshold though. I can't say because I played it as is.
Can it be used as a sampler pad?
still have this?
Hey Justin!
My big question is if the Bluetooth adapter is always included, why couldn't that be built into the device itself? The only thing I can think of is that the single USB-C/Bluetooth input is a limitation of whatever third-party PCB they could source.
USB type B, USB Mini, etc. needs to end. Every device should be using one standard. USB C exists for a reason.
Whether a multipad is worth anything to me starts with the pads,
then it's the trigger interface, ( sensitivity of course, but why not a dynamics spread parameter to the 127 increments ??? ),
and external inputs.
if it gets that far, and has a midi out, it's in the running.
Drum sample pads are the most overpriced gear in the music industry
All E-drum gear is
Why do you think that?
I would say guitars and eurorack cases.
@@HatredPrime Yes, those too.
It’s Chinese plastic crap usually. And the most primitive technology. Hit pad trigger sound (with velocity) not hard to make from a builder aspect.
Nis
Block Lock
Simply not worth what they are asking....
I see latency.
There was a delay fx added on all kits
First ... ?
Obviously :-)
Ddrum is cheaper and has more pads. Nux is Chinese crap.
The listing I saw was priced high. They are actually the same price. Still obsolete
DO NOT COMPARE OR BUY ALESIS SAMPLE PAD PRO!!!!! TOO MANY BUGS!!! IT"S JUNK!!!
