Cactus Desert Drums (EMM Mar 84)

muzines.co.uk

Cactus Desert Drums delivers impressive sound quality and versatility, making it a strong contender in the competitive electronic drum kit market. With robust pads and a well-thought-out design, drummers will find comfort and familiarity. However, the bass drum's tendency to slip during enthusiastic play and the average snare sound hold it back from perfection. Still, the quality of the samples, especially the bass drum and hi-hat, is noteworthy, and the promise of future sound expansion adds to its appeal. If you're in the electronic drum kit market, the Cactus is definitely worth a trial.
