Electronic Drum Sets

While most electronic drum kits operate through a central brain that houses available sounds, how drummers interact with the kit often differs. Manufacturers have tapped a wide range of trigger surfaces and technologies to promote increased realism. In addition to classic rubber pads, popular since the early 1980s, drummers can now choose from technologies like mesh pads and gel pads, each of which offers a slightly different feel and provides certain elements of natural acoustic drum feel and rebound.

Cross-category companies such as Roland, Yamaha and Alesis benefit from their prowess in other technological fields like recording, sampling and synthesis, and pride themselves on providingthese cutting-edge technologies in their electronic drum packages. Most electronic drum brains offer USB or similar connectivity, allowing users to download, edit and even trigger sounds from their preferred DAW, or digital audio workstation software.
