Deal Or Bad Gear?
UNO Drum is certainly not the best-sounding and best-built drum machine on the market. For the current price of €159 you have to lower your expectations a bit. There are some known quirks, the pads are not perfect according to many, MIDI only over 2.5mm adapters, and only a single output. Yes there are some criticisms and a lot of room for improvement of a version 2 or Uno Drum Pro.
For the price, however, it offers a lot of features and a solid sound with which every musician on a small budget can get an analogue drum machine.
IK Multimedia Uno Drum is available now for 159€ at Thomann and Amazon.de. How long the price is valid is not known.
