About this listing
Selling my Pearl Mimic Pro drum module, in original box with original power supply. Recently serviced by an approved Pearl engineer. I used Roland V-Drums in the past but when I discovered this it immediately became my favourite e-drum module. It sounds more real and natural than anything I've ever used, with none of the machine-gun obviously fake snare problems or weird "tom toms don't sound like that" unnaturalness of some other manufacturer's products. It's powered by Steven Slate Drums samples which you've heard on countless hit records, whether you know it or not.Selling for two reasons - first, I find myself demoing with virtual instruments much more now, and it seemed like a waste to have such a powerful module acting as just a trigger to midi interface. And second, I think there is a certain "Slate" sound which is fantastic for rock and metal and other powerful music but doesn't cater quite so readily to quirkier indie-type fare, which is the area I find myself in a bit more. Don't get me wrong, I love me some drums that sound like Andy Wallace mixed them which is why I chose this module in the first place. But lately I find myself needing to get more lo-fi, which you _can_ do with a Mimic, but it's not its strongest suit.Not going to do a video of me playing it, because there's loads of people on YouTube extolling the virtues of this excellent module. Try the 65Drums review below, which is honest but ultimately glowing - "...this thing has SO MUCH going for it, it's an absolutely incredible drum module". Btw, unlike some modules, there's an official application to create your own multi-samples, which is amazingly useful, if you want to take some sounds you created on an acoustic kit in the studio out on the road on your e-kit. I have it somewhere, if you can't find it online, let me know when you win the auction and I can have a look on my hard drives....(Description from Manufacturer) The world’s most advanced electronic drum module as a dedicated hardware host for Steven Slate Drums.24-Bit Steven Slate Drums 5Multi Channel Samples With Separate Adjustment of Close, Overhead, and Room Mics.IPS Touch Screen120GB Solid State DriveTop Level Burr Brown Converters16 InputsAux In16 Audio Outputs (8 On The Module / 8 From The DB-25 Connector)Two Completely Separate Mixers For Headphone and Aux Outs - Drummer Gets A Personal Mix With Effects That Does Not Affect OutputsAll Inputs Have Cymbal Choke FunctionSupports Triple and Dual Zone Cymbals and Dual Zone Hi-HatCompatible With Most Pads On The MarketSD Card Slot and USBImports One Shot Samples From Wave and AIFF*MIDI In and Out*it can do this easily, but as mentioned it can now also import complete kits you've created yourself using the Pearl application
