The venerable Roland Octapad has returned to market wearing a brand new suit. The kit selections are varied, and there are probably a lot of the kits that will never be selected, but too many is better than not enough, right? The only issue is that she's not used to hearing the sound coming out of the speaker instead of off the heads, but all of bass/guitar players know about that.
Varying your hand or stick attack changes the sound, just like the real thing, and sometimes in organic, surprising ways. The thing that blew me away was the fact that the pads are touch-sensitive. I plug it into a Genz-Benz Shuttle 3.0-10T combo amp, which has proven to be a good choice: some of the samples in the Octapad go 'way down in the frequency spectrum. I have a fair amount of experience with drum machines, starting with a mid-80s Yamaha R-something that had 8-bit samples (!) through a more modern Alesis SR-16 and I have done a fair amount of recording drum kits, so I know what the real thing is like. The answer is the Roland Octapad: many drum kits (she mostly uses the Cuban, which includes timbales, something missing from her kit).
My percussionist has a lovely Latin Percussion conga set with a matching LP bongo pair mounted on the same stand, along with cowbells, and who knows what all - she's a percussionist, right, and any thing you can hit with your hands or a stick is fair game - but there are times when we don't have the room for all her acoustic instruments at a gig.
