My friend lives in Wisconsin near Milwaukee. You can contact Joel through the Speaker Creatures FB page. Pricing depends on the type of wood chosen. Finished and shipped for a bit more than a couple hundred.

How come I always see these with the pads looking like they wanna fly south for the winter? Is that normal or is it a sign of poor construction?

I posted last year about seeing this done, but couldnāt remember where. It was someone other than whatās just been posted above, but that hardly matters, so you might want to take a look.

what do you mean by that?
No idea what heās talking about. Probably works for Alesis. 
I just had a fun session with my 2 kids, 11 and 13. This device (the 3P) is so great, lively, Iām amazed at the sounds it makes and how playing them gives a feeling similar to an acoustic instrument, with sounds that arenāt.
Just reviving this thread to share some love.
Also, in my techno jam, it produces very impactful kick drums and percussion, bass occasionally. Really particuliar in how it sounds! Happy that itās part of the family

My spouse just bought me one for Christmas. Iām so, so excited. I love sequencing drums, but I am really looking forward to seeing how learning to play will enhance my drum part writing.
Semi-related, but the UI on the Nord Wave 2 has resulted in me practicing keys more than ever before, and I am creating dozens of patches, and I can only hope that the Nord Drum will inspire similar outcomes.

I find the interface conducive to making my own sounds and always end up somewhere I love. I like a lot of the presets as well. Learning the interface take a little effort but for my taste not much. Thereās something about how clavia designs instruments that appeals to me, tickles in the right place of creativity. And I love the sound!
Which makes me curious about other clavia instruments, the wave 2 seems amazing in these regards!

did anyone else remove the pads on their 3p? im really tempted. the large pads prevent me from having the controls closer to me on the synth station. i wonder how it looks if you just remove the screws and take the unit out.
Thereās a post about it a few clicks above
Here as well
And my 2 cents: if your using it with sticks, use headphones! Completely changes the sound since the sticks are quite loud

The only thing better than a Nord Drum 3P is:
I have two 3Pās that have been in storage for more than 4 years in favor of my Roland TD-50, which provides 32 articulations that emulate acoustic drum kit pieces. Adding 12 Nord Drum pieces would be to die for, but the footprint of two of themāparticularly since I use an external controller exclusively in lieu of the 3Pās padsāis just intolerable. After watching this video, Iām inspired to remodel one of my playing spaces.
Iāve tried all kinds of synthesized percussion sounds, and nothing has ever come close to providing more than one or two, let alone the Nordās six.

Is there a way to disable the pads, i.e., turn local control off? Iād like to save space by resting a light keyboard on the pads, with just the control section sticking out.
I donāt think so, but you could set pad threshold and sensitivity to values that allow that I guess.

I understand this one as affecting the knobs and not the pads. I may have misunderstood. I canāt try on mine right now.
