I have owned the original Wavedrum X for years and love it. I love the Global Edition even more, though. There are twice as many sounds and many more algorithms for sound creation. The output is louder than the original model, which is a big improvement. Now I plug my old Wavedrum into the aux in of the Global and use them both, which is a very fun and powerful combination.

This is a really unique product from Korg. The variety of built-in sounds and the breadth of expression that you can achieve with it are amazing. I use drum machines a lot but I always missed the ability to play along on a responsive surface in real-time. You can play with your fingers, palms, use brushes, sticks, mallets, beaters or whatever you like. You can play it like a snare, a tabla, a bodhran, your choices are not limited, the WaveDrum gives you that ability. You can change the skin when it wears out or try out different surfaces and tune them like a traditional drum head. It is a shame that there is no midi capability which means you can not trigger the sounds from other gear nor can you record in midi your performances for tweaking and replaying later. So this limits the WaveDrum to a real-time performance tool, each performance you make will be unique, just like playing any non-midi instrument like a guitar or piano. Compared to the earlier WaveDrums, this Global Edition has an improved in-built amplifier, you get a better signal from it for use with headphones. If you like the idea of hands-on percussion then I would highly recommend you try the WaveDrum out before they get too scarce.Read full review

I already have a Roland handsonic 10 and as useful and versatile as the Roland is the Wavedrum is easily itโs equal. The sound are deep and rich multi layered and dripping with texture. I use them to make beats for my looper and the handsonic is an invaluable tool for base layer drum track. The Wavedrum is nice for specialty sounds and I really find it most useful behind the drum kit for specialty percussion is a live jamming environments. Iโve only scratched the surface on the capabilities and my mind is blown.

This drum is very interesting in many ways. I do like a variety of the sounds. Some of these sounds I believe can be used in conjunction with recording alongside other instruments, some sounds however are more standalone. There seems to be different genres of sounds. The outer side of the drum has different sounds when tapping it than the drum head. I have not changed out the drum head just yet and in fact I probably wonโt for the time being. Great product overall.

The sounds are amazing. The playability is amazing. The controls are very nice. The build quality is very sturdy. Connectivity is ok but loses a star, imo, for the lack of usb or midi option.
