From games to the stage, Drum Rocker does it.
The ION Drum Rocker Electronic Drum Kit is an electronic drum and cymbal pad set designed for use with the popular video games Rock Band and Rock Band II. Drum Rocker can also be used as a real electronic drum set by connecting it to an Alesis Drum module. The Drum Rocker delivers the most realistic drumming experience available to any gamer. That's because it was built by the engineers at Alesis, one of the largest manufacturers of professional electronic drums in the world. As a result, you get a kit that's designed to take a real beating, with all the positioning flexibility that professional drummers demand. Drum Rocker's professional aluminum drum rack lets you position your snare, tom, and cymbal pads wherever you want.
Don't just play games. Play DRUMS!
When you're ready to move from playing Rock Band to playing in a rock band, you can swap the Drum Rocker's game controller module with one of the professional drum brains made by Alesis. Just plug the drum and cymbal pads directly into an Alesis Drum module, and you're ready to hit the road for real.
Ultra-quiet velocity-sensitive pads
Drum Rocker's velocity-sensitive drum pads feature a playing surface that is much quieter than other drum controllers. They also feel great—the stick rebound off the pad is extremely natural and consistent. The pad housing is made of high-impact plastic designed to withstand beatings on stage night after night. No matter how much you punish them, the Drum Rocker drum pads are designed to take it.
The pads are mounted to the drum rack with a metal L-arm and clamp system, which allows them to be tilted, swiveled, raised, and lowered to whatever position you want. Just one warning—once you play these pads, nothing else will do!
There's nothing like finishing a monster fill by whacking a crash cymbal, or crossing over to play your hi-hat with your right hand while you keep the backbeat on the snare with your left, or keeping time on a ride cymbal during the chorus. Drum Rocker lets you do all that and more, with cymbals that can be placed anywhere around the kit.
Drum Rocker comes with two cymbals and mounting hardware out of the box, and a third cymbal is available as an optional accessory (sold separately). You get to decide how you want to use the two cymbals that come with the kit—set them up as a hi-hat/crash, crash/ride, or hi-hat/ride combination, then add the third cymbal to round out the kit.
All-metal kick drum pedal
The kick drum pedal with any drum controller takes a lot of abuse. No need to worry with Drum Rocker—this pedal is all metal and built to last. It also has the right amount of tension to replicate the feeling of playing a real drum pedal.
The pedal comes with Velcro® and retractable spikes, so you can be sure it will stay put. You're not limited to where you place it either—put the kick pedal wherever you feel most comfortable playing it.
