Nord Drum 3P Modeling Percussion Synthesizer
The Nord Drum 3P pushes the boundaries of electronic percussion, fusing six ultra-responsive pads with a deep synthesis engine that recreates everything from classic drums to futuristic textures in real time. Whether you are on stage, in the studio or programming from a sequencer, every stroke translates into expressive, dynamic sound.
Expressive Performance Interface
Six velocity-sensitive rubber pads and an external kick input deliver an authentic playing feel, while the streamlined Drum Select mode lets you swap out kicks, snares, toms or cymbals in seconds. Moreover, a bright 4-character LED and simple controls keep you focused on performance, not menu diving.
Infinite Sound Design Potential
Shape your tone with dedicated Tone, Noise and Click sections. Choose Resonant, Subtractive, FM or Ring Mod synthesis to craft harmonically rich or razor-sharp sounds. Furthermore, refine them with dynamic envelopes, filters and pitch bends for organic, acoustic-like behaviour.
Studio-Grade Effects & Connectivity
Add per-pad Drive, Sample-Rate reduction, Ring Mod and a fully parametric EQ, then polish the mix with master Reverb (five algorithms) and Delay with tap tempo. Connect to any rig via stereo 1/4” outputs, headphone jack, full MIDI I/O and CC control.
