Alesis e-Practice Pad Electronic Drum Practice Pad Review



Alesis e-Practice Pad Electronic Drum Practice Pad Feature

  • Electronic drum practice pad with metronome and learning exercises
  • 65 different drum sounds and to listen to these sounds connect headphones to the 1/4" headphone port
  • Metronome with six sounds, adjustable time signatures and subdivisions
  • 50 practice games and exercises

Practicing your drumming shouldn't be a chore, and with the portable Alesis e-Practice Pad you'll enjoy learning drum technique wherever you roam. The e-Practice Pad features 65 different drum sounds, a built-in metronome with six different sounds and more than 50 practice games and exercises. And it gives you a full range of dynamics--from the lightest touches through the loudest accents.



Practice your drumming skills wherever you roam with the Alesis e-Practice Pad (see larger schematic image to view the front controls).
The E-Practice Pad runs on batteries for portability or on wall power with the included adapter. You can add bass drum and hi-hat pedals using Alesis Expansion Pedals or any other footswitch. Just plug in your headphones and play silently or plug into an instrument amplifier or your stereo system and jam with other musicians. When you're not using the E-Practice Pad as a traditional practice tool, you can mount it on a standard cymbal stand or snare stand and use it on your drumset to expand your range of sounds.

Unlike a standard pad, the E-Practice Pad has an advanced metronome built in with six different sounds and the ability to play nearly any note value or subdivision in the time signature of your choice. On top of the metronome, the e-Practice Pad has advanced games and learning features like Beat Check, Stroke Balance, and even recording and playback so you can hear your performances. The E-Practice Pad is an instrument that helps you grow as a drummer, developing your time, dynamics, consistency, and more.
