    NUX DP-2000 Compact Digital Percussion Pad

    The NUX DP-2000 isn’t just a drum pad — it’s a versatile, portable tool for any musician. Whether you’re a drummer adding electronic elements to your acoustic kit or a producer who prefers playing beats over programming them, this pad delivers. It features high-quality acoustic samples from the flagship DM-8 kit, all packed into a sleek, compact design.

    Powerful, portable, and easy to use, the DP-2000 is a fun and flexible solution for creating rhythms on the go.

    NUX DP-2000 One Pad, Many Personalities

    One Pad, Many Personalities

    Why settle for one drum kit when you can have twenty? The DP-2000 comes loaded with sounds ranging from folk percussion to glitchy electronic beats, ensuring you're never stuck in a single genre. But the real magic happens when you load your own WAV samples via the USB port. Turn this pad into a '90s hip-hop machine, a cinematic sound effect generator, or a collection of your favorite weird noises.

    • Layer Functionality: The layer feature lets you split a pad into two parts or stack sounds, so you can trigger a tambourine and snare simultaneously — no extra hands required.  
    • Custom Sound Import: Not a fan of the factory sounds? No problem. Load your own WAV files via USB and build your perfect custom kit.  
    • Versatile Presets: With 20 preset kits and 20 user slots, you can seamlessly switch from a tight jazz kit to a booming stadium rock sound faster than your guitarist can re-tune.

    A Glowing Personality

    Stages are dark, and squinting at a tiny screen is a great way to ruin a performance. The DP-2000 fixes this with a colorful new UI that's actually intuitive. And the eight velocity-sensitive pads don't just feel great — they feature dynamic LED lighting that turns your drum solo into a responsive light show. It's practical for seeing where to hit and for looking cool while doing it.

    • Color Screen: The interactive color display makes navigating menus and tweaking parameters a breeze, saving you from the dreaded "menu diving" during a gig.
    • Expressive LEDs: The pads light up and change brightness based on how hard you hit and the tone length, giving you instant visual feedback and a bit of stage flair.
    • Velocity Sensitive: Whether you’re ghost-noting gently or smashing out a stress-relieving solo, the pads capture every nuance of your performance.

    NUX DP-2000 The Ultimate Sidekick

    The Ultimate Sidekick

    The DP-2000 plays well with others. It’s designed to slot perfectly into your existing "drumming ecosystem" (a fancy way of saying your pile of gear). You can use it as a standalone mini-kit by plugging in a kick and hi-hat pedal or hook it up to your main rig via MIDI to act as a secondary brain. It even comes with the NBT-1 Bluetooth module, so you can stream backing tracks from your phone without dealing with the spaghetti incident that is an aux cable.

    • Mini Kit Mode: With three ¼” trigger inputs, you can connect an external kick, hi-hat pedal, and an extra pad to turn this flat unit into a fully playable electronic drum set.
    • Bluetooth Freedom: Pop the included NBT-1 module into the USB-C port to enable Bluetooth audio and MIDI, letting you jam along to Spotify or control wireless VSTs.
    • Onboard Effects: Spice up your sound without external pedals using six built-in effects, including delay, reverb, and overdrive, assignable to individual pads or the whole bus.

    Your New Rhythm Section

    The NUX DP-2000 is the perfect solution for modern musicians who need versatility without the back-breaking work of hauling heavy gear. It’s smart enough for complex sampling, tough enough to take a beating, and flashy enough to look good on stage.
