ATV aD5 módulo de percusión
There arent many reviews of this drum module, so I chose Bax Music because they offer an excellent 60 day trial period. Their pricing was competitive, and no UK dealers had the ad5 in stock mid April 2018, so Bax were my first choice.
The module arrived quickly and well packed. A nice touch from Bax was that they included a Euro to UK power plug adapter at no extra cost. In the event, this wasnt needed, but I was impressed by their customer care.
Its early days yet to judge the module. Theres a lot to like. Im using it with an A to E conversion of a DW kit, with Roland RT triggers and Remo Silentstroke and Roland Mesh heads. As expected, the cymbal sounds are excellent, as are dynamics, far better than the TD11 and 30 Ive used in the past. Even with rim triggers, its possible to get a full range from very soft taps to a full tom growl and pitch bend.
Kit numbers are limited, but theres a couple I really like, and I havent yet tried the expanded sound samples available from ATVs SoundcStore. The impression I have at this stage is that the ATV module has more dynamic range and realism than other modules Ive used. The sounds are a bit raw, not processed, and I can see why others have said its just like playing an acoustic kit.
Im a bit less impressed by the hi hat response I get with my Roland Vh-11. I struggle to get a fully closed sound with a couple of the kits, despite a few hours messing with the settings. This my partly be down to my technique, so the jury is still out.
Its also a shame theres no self record function available, as its a great learning tool I used a lot with zRoland modules. I also miss the Roland backing track playback function - using a separate MP3 player is more cumbersome.
The only thing I positively dislike in the ad5 is the power cable which is both short and very thin. I cant see it standing up well in a live situation.
Overall 4( or more) stars for Bax and 4 stars for the module. I may give a more considered review in a couple of weeks time with more hands on experience.
