One of the issues with regular sample pads is visibility during gigs, especially with smoke, darkness, and lighting. To address this, the Alesis SamplePad features blue LED borders around each pad for enhanced visibility. The top two pads are also raised, making them great for use as cymbals and other percussive effects.
For regular drummers, the SamplePad offers additional trigger inputs for connecting a regular kick pedal or additional trigger pads. The two additional trigger inputs allow for the connection of any single or dual-zone trigger pad.
