Whether you're an acoustic drummer looking to trick out your kit with electronic percussion or a songwriter in need of a more realistic way to write drum parts, the Alesis SamplePa d 4 is the compact percussion instrument you've been looking for. Onboard, you'll find four highly playable percussion zones you can use to trigger 25 amazing onboard sounds, plus hundreds more when you add an SD card and load up your favorite samples. Onboard tuning and reverb let you get more from your sounds, and a pair of additional triggers lets you expand your setup into a mini electronic kit. Add electronic percussion to your drums If you play regularly with an acoustic kit, just think of what you could do with an Alesis SamplePad 4 in your rig. This compact percussion instrument makes it super easy to fire off samples as you play, allowing you to add classic electronic sounds and loops to your grooves, such as hand claps or continuous tambourine patterns. Cooler still, you can load up acoustic percussion instrument sounds you simply don't have. Need claves for one song but don't want to blow your budget on the real deal? Toss up a couple of clave samples and you're good to go. What's more, you can use acoustic triggers to fire off samples from your drums, allowing you to pull off classic studio tricks like triggering gated white noise with your snare or foundation-shaking '808 booms from your kick. Program realistic beats in the studio If you've tried drawing notes by hand or triggering drums from your keyboard or pad controller, but you just aren't getting the natural sound you're looking for, then the Alesis SamplePad 4 may be the answer.
