Unlike a standard pad, the E-Practice Pad has an advanced metronome built in with six different sounds and the ability to read more play nearly any note value or subdivision in the time signature of your choice. On top of the metronome, the e-Practice Pad has advanced games and learning features like Beat Check, Stroke Balance, and even recording and playback so you can hear your performances. The E-Practice Pad is an instrument that helps you grow as a drummer, developing your time, dynamics, consistency, and more.

The E-Practice Pad runs on batteries for portability or on wall power with the included adapter. You can add bass drum and hi-hat pedals using Alesis Expansion Pedals or any other footswitch.

Sound
The sounds are typical, the tom sounds are good, the cymbals are o.k., there are some good sounding snares. Best through headphones though I ran through a stereo system and that works too, just had to boost the vol a little
Features
The pad has only one trigger zone sticked but has two separate control pedals. The pedals are a good concept to practice independence of limbs. The clicks and training modes are great and fun for rudiments and tempo rehearsal, it's like having a coach.
Ease of Use
I thought the sound would route through the speaker, but only the metronome routes there. You need to hook up something to the outputs in order to hear the drum sounds, which seemed counter-intuitive.
