The Clavia Nord Drum 2 elevates percussion synthesis, addressing its predecessor's limitations with enhanced sound creation capabilities and increased channel counts. Its robust build, MIDI CC support, and stereo output make it a versatile tool for both studio and live settings.

Nord Drum 2 and Pad review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

With a host of new features, the Clavia Nord Drum 2 stands out as a serious contender in the world of electronic drum synthesis. Its convincing sounds, expanded input options, and intuitive design make it a joy to use. However, the steep price tag and the limitation of the pad working exclusively with the Drum 2 may deter some potential buyers. If budget isn't a concern and you're looking for versatility in sound creation, this synth is a worthy investment.
