Ludwig Total Percussion Pad

Limitless Electronic Percussion and Sampling

The Ludwig Total Percussion Pad is a powerful, highly intuitive electronic multi-pad designed to seamlessly bridge the gap between acoustic drums and digital sampling. Whether you are building a hybrid acoustic-electronic drum set for the live stage or triggering loops in the studio, this pad provides instant access to a massive sonic palette and real-time performance control.

Massive Sound Library and Custom Samples

Out of the box, the Total Percussion Pad is loaded with over 2,000 built-in sounds, including global percussion, world instruments, and a full collection of mallet instruments. For ultimate customization, players can easily import their own samples, loops, or backing tracks directly via USB. The included free Windows and Mac offline editing software makes managing samples, building kits, and organizing presets incredibly fast and intuitive.

Dynamic Performance and Expansion

Built for expression, the pad allows drummers to layer two sounds per pad or link multiple pads to trigger up to four sounds simultaneously. An Active FX knob gives you hands-on, real-time control over three kit effects per preset. Need more than just the playing surface? The unit boasts four dual-zone external pad inputs and two foot-switch inputs (with a dedicated Hi-Hat mode), allowing you to easily expand the pad into a complete electronic mini-kit.
