The flagship Zildjian ALCHEM-E Gold EX electronic drum kit represents a new frontier in e-drumming from the world's oldest cymbal makers. This groundbreaking e-kit seamlessly blends authentic acoustic feel with limitless electronic versatility, providing an experience as immersive as it is inspiring. The Simmons DA2112 Advanced electronic drum amp delivers the power and fidelity you need for impactful live performance and recording. Its 12" speaker and 1" compression driver provide a balanced, full-range frequency response, while its 2,000W peak power and 350W RMS rating ensure you'll have all the volume you need for any stage. A four-knob EQ gives you complete control over your tone so you can shape the sound to suit your needs. Whether you're an aspiring drummer looking to elevate your skills or a seasoned pro seeking uncompromising authenticity, the Gold EX and Simmons DA2112 drum amp bundle has you covered.

Full-Size Configuration and Real Wood Shells

The Zildjian ALCHEM-E Gold EX delivers the satisfying physical presence of a full-depth, full-diameter acoustic kit, with all of the practicality and versatility of an electronic one. Its "two-up, one-down" configuration features full-size, 7-ply North American maple shells—a 14x5" snare, 10x7" and 12x7" toms, a 14x12" floor tom and a 20x14" bass drum. Each drum is outfitted with three zones for head, rimshot and rim triggering, allowing your playing nuances to translate with stunning realism. The reflective black-gold metallic finish gives the Gold EX a modern look that shimmers under stage lights and looks dignified in the studio.

Revolutionary E-FAMILY Cymbals With Acoustic Feel

The Gold EX's star attraction is the groundbreaking Zildjian E-FAMILY cymbal array, consisting of 14" hi-hats, a 16" crash, an 18" crash ride and 20" ride. Informed by 400 years of Zildjian metal-smithing mastery and decades of electronic percussion expertise, the E-FAMILY cymbals perfectly capture the feel, dynamics, nuances and even aesthetics of their acoustic counterparts. From the first stroke, you'll experience the same shimmer, swell and decay as an acoustic cymbal, with unparalleled triggering accuracy. The proprietary Zildjian Trigger System ensures every articulation translates seamlessly, whether you're pedaling the hi-hat, crashing with force or riding the bell. It's complete with 3-zone playability and 360° touch choking.

Expansive E-VAULT Sound Library

Powering the Gold EX's authentic voice is the Zildjian E-VAULT (ZEV1) sound module. This advanced brain houses a meticulously sampled library of drums, cymbals and percussion from the iconic Zildjian catalog—past, present and future. Using the intuitive 5" color touchscreen, you can mix and match components to construct your dream kit, from vintage A Zildjian rides to modern K Sweet crashes. The E-VAULT's ergonomic layout and premium sounds fully immerse you in the playing experience, while offering unfettered access to the Zildjian cymbal collection spanning four centuries.

Unparalleled Expression Through Superior Triggering

The Gold EX e-kit gets its ultraresponsive feel through an innovative triggering configuration from Zildjian. This proprietary system sets a new standard for capturing every ghost note, flam and subtle articulation with jaw-dropping accuracy. You'll be able to fully express your technique and musicality without compromise, from delicate ghosted snare work to thunderous, polyrhythmic bass drum patterns and choked cymbal accents. The Gold EX translates the most nuanced playing with stunning realism.

Ultimate Drum Amp with Premium Sound, Versatile EQ, and Rugged Portability

The DA2112 is equipped with premium components, including a 12" speaker and 1" compression driver, ensuring powerful, balanced sound across the entire audible frequency spectrum with clarity and accuracy. This results in a drum sound that is full, rich, and balanced, backed by an RMS power rating of 350W and peak power of 2,000W, making it ideal for live performances and recording applications. Its four-band EQ provides tonal flexibility, allowing you to adjust lows, mids, highs, and presence to shape your drum sound to suit any venue, instrument, or music style. Versatile connectivity options include three stereo line inputs, an auxiliary input, Bluetooth connectivity, and a headphone output for silent practice. Built to withstand the rigors of frequent transport and live performance, the DA2112 features a durable yet lightweight wooden cabinet, floor and pole mounts, and a convenient carry handle for easy portability.
