What a flexible tool for a percussionist

Armoured Drummer 12.05.2019

I have had this for 1 week and have already used it for a small gig to play timps, vibraphone and glockenspiel. Once linked to my mac through main stage, it really was very easy to control in a live situation. I have not started to use it to its full capacity as I have never used midi before and it starts to become complex. However there are great Facebook groups with experienced users where you can ask questions and get helpful support.

Great job Pearl

Sound bank from pearl are very good. Even more good when I sample on my acoustic instrument so I get a sound I want. After touch is very useful because you may control your technic by your own. Wormer and personally.

Avoid it - pay the extra for the better alternatives.

BangCrashandWallop 12.12.2022

At £1200 a unit these are pretty poor bits of highly inconsistent midi hardware. Individual pads are not even balanced - strike top third - full note - strike bottom third - nothing. Next one - exact opposite. Individual strokes often not even registering. OK for practice but if you want go and use this live somewhere I would suggest paying the extra for the better quality alternatives. This is a bit of kit but trading on a major brand name but let down by very poor build quality.
First one returned and replaced with a brand new one byThomann when some keys stopped working correctly (cannot fault the service - first one replaced without any problem by very helpful service staff).
Second one developed faults within 6 months of light use by playing random notes and more inconsistent keypad issues. This unit is now being returned to the service department. I am now asking for a refund as this piece of equipment is clearly not of a marketable standard. Not Thomann's fault - just poorly made by Pearl - and really would expect better from an established major manufacturer of percussion equipment. Visit the fb user forum - tells you all you need to know!! If you are a serious/professional user avoid the Malletstation and pay the extra or one of the alternatives. its just not reliable. Even if you are just a fun/recreational user you still expect to get something that works properlay and is relaiable for £1500!

Brilliant.

As a percussionist, i always wanted something that could combine all of my needs into one source. linked with my Spitfire audio and sounds, its basically all anyone could ever need. Once theatres are back open, this will be a game changer for me.
