    Need some advice:

    My almost two year when playing with my mixer and turntables tends to focus more in the midi pads from the mixer...thing is I don't have Serato at the moment connected so it's practically useless for her to hit those pads.

    So I'm looking for a drum pad that can work without a computer. She hits the pads and plays the sounds. That's it.

    She has a keyboard but there she also likes to hit the drum buttons more than anything. I think she likes the lights of the pads and the instant response.

    Any suggestions?

    • WTF?! "my almost two year old daughter..."oey_oey
    • There are some apps you can consider downloading for the iPad which you can then plug into a 4ch mixer.PioneerDJ303
    • Assuming you don’t want something that requires a PC to work and budget suitable for a 2 yr old, the Teenage Engineering PO-12 might work?mort_
    • Doh! you explicitly said without computer. Well the PO-12 is a good option. The pads are a bit small though.mort_
    • Another option might be a used Akai MPC for ~ €200mort_
    • Get her an Octopad, or the Alesis version SamplePad. Loads of fun!futurefood
    • If you're willing to give up an old iPad or iPhone this works great (my kids loved it and easy to use):
