Nord Drum 3P Demo 

Hey Mr. Nord, did you hear that? :) Thanks Stuart, your words are really appreciated. I just had fun playing what those sounds inspired me to improvise. And yes, these are all presets, I didn't program any of these sounds. A must have instrument for creative drummers...

Trust me once you save and purchase it and it arrives you will enjoy every bit of it I have one of these nord percussions synthisizer

Thanks man!

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

I’d say top pads toms and effects, bottom pads from right to left hi-hat, snare and bass drum. Optional kick drum pedal trigger highly recommended.

Thank you Eric, your words are really appreciated!!

Ah, you noticed it ;-) Thanks a lot for your comment !!

Yep! And still working :)

Thank you so much for your comment, I really appreciate it!

Yep, good point. With the Hi-Hat the Nord Drum 3P would be too perfect :) Thanks man, I appreciate it.

@@EugenioVentimiglia Thank you for your quick response! I just watched your demo on the Alesis Strikepad, so that's in the running as well. It has lots of cool features that the Nord does not have. Being not a drummer, I want a multi-pad to play a groove (or two, for A-A-B-A form Jazz standards), and loop them. But I don't see where the Alesis has THAT looping capability (i.e., play two grooves in sequence, like on "I'll remember April" Clifford Brown / Max Roach / Sonny Rollins, where the "A" is calypso and the "B" is a straight ahead Jazz groove, also birthday boy Rollins' "St. Thomas"). So, a separate looper might be needed anyway, even with the Alesis? Do you know if the Alesis can do that? I noticed you demonstrated all the cool Alesis features, but you PLAYED the Nord..... Thanks you...

@@JeffreySaxophoneTallNewton As much as I would love to be helpful, it wasn’t me doing the Alesis demo ;) Yes, probably the Alesis Multipad is what you are looking for. Austin Burcham great review should help you figure that out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P84VLLuY--Q.html Thanks!

@@EugenioVentimiglia Oops! I thought that was you, too! Maybe it's just the effects settings, but the Nord sounds more realistic and soulful to me. Then again, I like Pianoteq, which also uses modeled sounds. I have loopers, so the convenience of a built in looper isn't all that much, especially if it cannot do sequential loops, for A-A-B-A form Jazz tunes. And the Nord is half the weight. I have sax, piano, guitar and bass, and to do this properly, I have to bring all of them, so every pound is important! Anyway, your time and feel are excellent, and that comes out on the Nord. I've not seen a comprable demo for the competitors.

Thank you Sean.

Thanks Max! Yeah, it’s very likely, I love Aphex Twin, and listened to a lot of his stuff! Amazing genius...

@@EugenioVentimiglia You're quite welcome. Awesome playing!👌👍 I get a real "I care because you do" vibe from it?

Exactly, great album man!

Great choice! Enjoy it man ;)

I've used a Roland kt-10 kick trigger pedal, which works perfectly with the Nord Drum 3P.

Hey thanks! I'm using in-ear monitors and recording with Pro Tools.

All presets. When I recorded this video I had just unpacked it ;)

@@EugenioVentimiglia Osea que esos sonidos vienen incorporados en los pads?

@@stefaniadelosrios2329 Exactamente!

It's about making music. There is no 'right' way: you can do it with 4 limbs, 10 fingers, one note, a million notes. Whatever works for you is perfect, as long as what you do allows you to express what you have to say.

That's preset A6, which for the snare sound has a waveform named 'Drum head resonance modelling'.

Ciao Mauro, per quanto riguarda la sensibilità non ho provato altri prodotti e non posso quindi fare un confronto. La Nord comunque risponde alla perfezione anche alle dinamiche più basse e non ho mai la sensazione di perdere delle sfumature, come puoi notare dai punti del video in cui suono piano.

@@EugenioVentimiglia grazie mille, infatti vedevo e sentivo un'ottima risposta ai tocchi leggeri ma per sicurezza ho chiesto. Ti ringrazio molto per la risposta.

@@gnippuz Grazie a te ciao!

Great! And thanks for your comment!

Thanks for your comment! I haven't used this feature, but it seems like it's available. Here is what the manual says on page 12: "CC -Control Change can be set to off (of), send only (s), receive only (r) and to both send and receive (sr). set this to receive if you want to change parameters on the Nord drum 3P from a MIDI controller or a sequencer." Of course pitch is one of the parameters you can change. Here is the entire manual if you like to check it out: www.nordkeyboards.com/sites/default/files/files/downloads/manuals/nord-drum-3p/Nord%20Drum%203P%20English%20User%20Manual%20v1.x%20Edition%20C.pdf

Eugenio Ventimiglia Wellthatsgreat because it means a percussionist can play both drums and baseline/lead without having to dedicate multiple pads to a tuned percussion.

Thanks Manuel! The Nord Drum 3P comes with a mounting plate, you don’t need any additional screws. The mounting rod is about 2 centimeters in diameter (a bit less than one inch). So you can use your favorite stand, as long as you combine it with a multi clamp mount holder with adjustable brackets. Like the Gibraltar SC-UGC Multi Clamp Universal or the Roland Apc 33.

@@EugenioVentimiglia ahh okay i see, thanks alot!!

@@EugenioVentimiglia does that include the kick attachment or do you buy it separately?

@@trackerbuckmann1627 If you want to add a pedal to your setup you need to buy all the related gear separately. The tools I mentioned above don't include a kick attachment.

@@EugenioVentimiglia I’ve been trying to find a way to mount the Nord Drum 3P to a mic stand like an Atlas Sound MS20E so that the drum machine doesn’t actually take up as much floor space. It doesn’t look like either of the brackets you mention would work. Ever tried anything like this?

Thanks a lot Martino! I totally agree, this instrument allows your creativity to take off ;)

Thanks a lot Clayton ;)

anytime

Hi, I didn't have a chance to play the Nord Drum 2, but the 3p comes with more than 200 preset banks, and thousands of sounds that you can twist as you like. It takes a bit of effort to learn how to use it fully, but when you do this instrument gives you infinite possibilities.

спасибо!

Thanks a lot, I appreciate your comment!

I totally agree!!

Yeah I'm trying to decide for a live kit which to use between the Roland spd sx and octapad, but the charm of the Nord 3p keeps me coming back to it! Thoughts? Does it have some regular sounding drum kits in the Nord that sound good too? Thanks.

Thanks man! Yeah I use exactly a Roland KT-10 and actually I find it ok, I guess I just got used to it :)

They are, I assigned the kick to the lower left side pad.

Yes the reverb generates some hiss on my device (bought in 2017, I’m not aware of any updates to the sound engine), but I wouldn't say it’s noisy. Of course it depends on what you need to do. If you are recording a track with low dynamic levels, that could likely become an issue

@@EugenioVentimiglia Thank you.

I'm glad you like it ;) Thanks for watching!

Yes, it's a Roland KT-10 kick trigger pedal

I use a Roland KT-10 kick trigger pedal, which has a trigger output (3.5 mono jack) to connect it to whatever you like.

Yep ;)

Thanks man! Yes, check out the Roland KT-10, great pedal.

@@EugenioVentimiglia hey thanks a lot man. And yeah awesome drumming. really really loved what you created. thank you for the music

Thank you so much for your comment! When you connect a pedal you simply get the same sound from both sources, the pedal and one of the six pads on the synthesizer (the one assigned to the bass drum sound).

@@EugenioVentimiglia Thanks! Good to know. I have ordered the Nord Drum just today, the combination with the e-pedal will be the next step. :)

@@gorazdandrejc4008 That's great! Have fun with it ;)

I'm using a beautiful Roland kt-10 kick trigger pedal.

Eugenio Ventimiglia Me too, the KT-10 is so good!

Thank you!

Thanks a lot!

Thanks! When you connect a pedal you simply get the same sound from both sources, the pedal and one of the six pads on the synthesizer (the one assigned to the bass drum sound). I'm not aware of the possibility of triggering an extra sound.

@@EugenioVentimiglia thanks

Hi, thanks for your comment. Yes I’ve used a snare drum stand, and it works, although it’s not the ideal way to hold it. Many companies produce specific electronics mounting stands that can be used with the Nord Drum 3p.

@@EugenioVentimiglia looks like a pretty solid stand to me, if it works it works! Would it in a 12in - 15in snare basket?

Absolutely, the Nord Drum measures 12” x 11”, so you just have to tighten it a bit.

It's preset drum kit A29. Enjoy ;)
