Rhythm and Sound Exploration

Tako Kick invites you to explore rhythmic patterns and percussive sounds in a fun way.

Each part of the drum kit has eight sets of controls that allow you to shape your rhythms, sounds and modulations. Each control section has two parameters that are accessed with up/down or left/right movements.

The method of control makes it easy and fun to sculpt each part to taste and kits can be saved and recalled as presets.
