In the MusicRadar Tech video titled "In The Studio With Emika," Emika uses the Nord Drum 2, visible on the table to her left.
“I’ve got the Nord Drum 2; they are amazing little units. They’re tiny and weigh nothing. I replaced my Roland SPDS, which I’d had for ten years, with the Nord just to try something new. The Nord is incredibly versatile - virtual analogue again and it’s very ‘Simmonds-y’. The great thing about virtual analogue is that you can save it all and you don’t have to stress yourself out dialling stuff into it prior to going onstage.”
