NUX DP-2000 Digital Percussion Pad

Professional Digital Percussion Performance – NUX DP-2000

The NUX DP-2000 Digital Percussion Pad is a feature-rich, all-in-one percussion controller designed for drummers, percussionists, and producers.

Whether used as a standalone instrument, a compact live performance setup, or a MIDI controller for your DAW, the DP-2000 offers the flexibility and control modern musicians need. Add a hi-hat pedal, kick trigger, and additional pad to transform it into a compact yet fully playable e-drum kit—perfect for rehearsals, small stages, and studio sessions alike.

Advanced Control And Connectivity

Designed for both live and studio use, the DP-2000 integrates seamlessly with your existing setup. USB and MIDI connectivity enable use as a trigger controller or external sound source, while the dual-engine DSP processor allows in-depth sound editing, tuning, and dynamic control. Dedicated inputs and outputs—including stereo ¼" jacks, headphone out, aux in, and MIDI ports—provide comprehensive routing options for any performance or recording scenario.

Customisation is effortless thanks to the intuitive user interface, letting you assign sounds to pads, tweak parameters, and apply effects directly from the control surface. The included Bluetooth® USB-C adaptor expands the possibilities for wireless playback or integration with compatible devices.

Smart Design For Compact Setups

Compact yet powerful, the DP-2000 is engineered for portability and ease of use. Measuring just 408 x 314 x 62mm and weighing 2.8kg, it’s ideal for drummers short on space or those looking to expand their current e-drum configuration. With the ability to play back music from a USB flash drive, it’s perfect for solo performers, teaching environments, or backing-track rehearsals.
