Is there any hope for the Nord Drum 3 module ever seeing the light of day? I asked their customer service support company and they were basically like, “no comment/ we’re not authorized to talk about it.” It seems like it would make sense, maybe after the chip shortages and what have you. But we’re already getting pretty far away from the 3Ps initial release, it’ll be what, 7 years ago this year? Maybe a new model for the module is in the works, Nord Drum 4, when parts scarcity isn’t such a factor?

I’m sure you know this, but it can go pretty quiet if you just turn the effects to ‘off’ and not just zero :slight_smile:

Okay you’ve convinced me. Now to sell some stuff off to buy it…

It looks like i can get them in the United States from Andertons for nearly half the price of most American retailers. Absolutely crazy reduction in cost, i almost feel obligated to get it.

Order drumsticks too if you don’t have any.

FWIW I gave up on getting a ND2, bought a 3P, and have since passed on a cheap(er) 2 when it became available because … I like the pads! And I’m no drummer. But they’re obviously part of the design intention with the expressive velocity curves and all.

There’s a velocity sensitivity setting for ‘hands’ that I use and like. No sticks yet going on a year.

Does a Nord Drum 3 without the pads even exist? I saw a photo of it a long time ago, but was it never released or something?

#448

No, as far as I know.

Nord originally announced there would be a padless ND3 module, but none were ever produced.

No. But I think Norddrum 2 is exactly the same.

There are difference between the two actually.

  • Number of trigger input ND2=6 ND3=1
  • There are more editable sounds parameters on the ND2 and more midi CC.
  • ND3 has a master FX section.
