collapse expand iconDescription

The Simmons DA2108 advanced electronic drum amp brings 100 watts of focused, high-quality power to drummers seeking precise sound reproduction. With an 8" speaker and 1" compression driver, this amp is engineered to replicate the wide tonal range of acoustic drums, ensuring every beat is heard with clarity and depth. Whether practicing, performing, or recording, the DA2108 is equipped with dual inputs and Bluetooth connectivity for seamless integration with electronic drum sets, MP3 players, and smartphones. Compact yet powerful, it delivers a professional-grade experience in a portable design. Its robust construction and intuitive features make it a reliable tool for drummers aiming to refine their craft, with onboard EQ controls that provide essential flexibility for tonal shaping.

Electric Drum Amp With Onboard EQ to Find Your Sound

The DA2108 features a 2-band equalizer that lets drummers fine-tune their tone with precision. With independent controls for high and low frequencies, the EQ makes it easy to emphasize punchy bass or crisp cymbals, or achieve a balanced mix of both. This straightforward yet versatile system provides the tools needed to create a distinct sonic signature, whether you're dialing in your drum tone for practice or optimizing it for performance. The EQ's intuitive layout ensures quick adjustments that enhance the clarity and impact of your drum set's sound.

Practice Anytime With Headphone Output

The integrated headphone output on this amp provides a valuable feature for private practice sessions. Plugging in headphones delivers the same rich, full-range sound as the DA2108's speaker system, allowing drummers to refine their technique without disturbing others. Whether working on complex rudiments or experimenting with new beats, the headphone output ensures a consistent and immersive audio experience. This feature is ideal for late-night rehearsals or situations where noise levels need to be minimized while maintaining sound quality.

Pro Musicians Can Rely on the DA2108 Drum Amp for Gigs Or Studio

Despite its compact size, the DA2108 is built to withstand the demands of rehearsals, live performances, and recording sessions. Its durable enclosure and rugged internal components are engineered to maintain optimal sound quality in any environment. The amp can be placed on the floor for traditional use or mounted on a speaker pole to elevate its output to ear level, ensuring maximum projection and clarity. This versatile design makes the DA2108 a dependable choice for drummers who need consistent performance both on stage and in the studio.

Seamless Integration With Bluetooth Connectivity

The DA2108 provides multiple connectivity options to streamline the drumming experience. Dual inputs support electronic drum sets, MP3 players, and other line-level gear, while Bluetooth functionality enables wireless audio streaming from smartphones, tablets, and laptops. This makes it simple to play along with backing tracks or favorite songs during practice sessions. The combination of wired and wireless connectivity ensures compatibility with a wide range of devices, allowing drummers to focus on their playing without technical distractions.

Built for Drummers Seeking Reliable Power

The Simmons DA2108 advanced electronic drum amp combines precision sound, durable construction, and essential features to meet the demands of drummers in practice and performance settings. With its Bluetooth audio streaming, onboard EQ, and flexible design, this amp delivers the tools needed to elevate your playing. Whether you're rehearsing at home, recording in the studio, or performing live, the DA2108 provides the clarity, power, and reliability to keep your sound sharp.

Great speaker for music and edrums!

I am very pleased with this speaker and Guitar City for honoring its price match guarantee. It sounds great on my Alese Surge SE. I compared in the store the 8, 10, and 12 and found the overall clarity on the 8" as good the 10" and the bass not too far off. The 12" actually sounded a bit muffled. I guess the larger woofer needs more/bigger tweeter. There are two settings on these speakers, one for on the floor and one if mounted on a pole at head level. Personally I find the pole setting to sound better in all positions. It sounds more like a bass boost imo. At home this speaker sounds even better, and bass quite impressive for an 8" woofer. I'm very glad I just got the 8". It also gets plenty loud for practice use. I highly recommend this Simmons DA2108. It sounds great playing my edrums or just music, or both for a cool jam session. I look forward to more jam sessions!

Pure Trash!!

I bought this amplifier not for my Keyboard/ drums because my setup would shred this thing. I bought this as a simple one mic amp. I couldn't hear it because my vocals are way louder than the amp. It's good for nothing. I would not recommend this for my enemies !!

    Got this to go with my daughter's Alesis electronic drum set so she can effectively practice. Was worried it might be too loud in our 1 story condo, but its fine. We really like that you can hook up to Bluetooth to play music while playing the drums at the same time.

  • Nice sound. Works great for practice at home.

    I read that I should use a Livewire Elite Instrument Cable
to hook this to my Simmons Titan 50 Electric Drum Set. But do I need the cable with both straight plug-ins or the one with the angle and a straight plug-in?

    I don't know the definition of "movie" audio. This is a nice full range system. It's not designed for "fidelity". It's not flat. It's loud. Do you need studio monitors?
