Overview

Home studios and gigging stages suit the NUX digital drum kit, which pairs REMO mesh heads with an independent hi-hat and kick tower for an acoustic-like feel. A deep tone module with group faders shapes the sound, and a trigger input adds another pad.

A free-standing hi-hat and kick tower make the feel much closer to an acoustic kit than rubber-pad sets. The built-in kits and group faders give wide tone control. Contents, cymbal sizes and pad sizes are not detailed in the bullets.

Who it's for

Suited to working drummers and home recordists who need realistic hi-hat and kick response. Beginners on a small budget or with little floor space may be better with a compact kit.

Performance notes

Mesh heads give natural rebound with low acoustic noise, and the motion sensor on the hi-hat tracks pedal position for open, closed and half-open sounds. A dedicated kick tower takes a real pedal, which feels more natural than a pedal hitting a rubber pad.
