It has positional sensing and is pressure-sensitive, which makes for a really expressive instrument. It's more tailored towards world-percussion (especially the Oriental & Global versions), but I know that the Original (silver) version also featured nice presets of snares, simmons-toms and *some* electronica. It is One nice hand-drum, that happens to be playable with sticks, brushes and mallets too. Korgs' Wavedrum (Original-, Oriental-, or Global-version) is, as you noted, a whole different animal. Personally, I would look at a used ND-1, which is 4-channel only, but suffices for just adding textures. The acoustics' sound really more like an 'electronic approximation' of an acoustic drum, if that makes any sense. You won't get much world-, hand percussion- or acoustic-drumsounds from it. Think Roland TR drumboxes/early Simmons/lots of weird & wonderful space-noises. The NordDrum 2 will take you in the direction of electronica.
