The NUX DP-2000 is an integrated percussion pad designed for musicians. It features 8 velocity-sensitive independent strike pads, offering a range of acoustic drum samples from the DM-8 kit, folk percussion, and electronic sound samples. The device supports expanding its sound library by importing custom drum samples via a U disk.
