Sampling on a Budget? Alesis SamplePad Pro Review!
This is a review of the Alesis SamplePad Pro drum sample pad. Summary: A great introduction to using a sampler as part of your drum set-up. Sample load time is horrifically slow and the interface is awful but YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! Don't expect the features and performance of a unit that's double the price. Fine for home studio or occasional live use for triggering the odd sample here and there.
