Overview
Drummers moving to electronic kits get a full acoustic style layout with cymbals that sway and a hi-hat that reads technique magnetically. A deep sound library lives in the drum module, and the bundled drum amp plays it through a powerful speaker with Bluetooth input.
Feel and sound depth are the reasons to buy it, from the swinging cymbals to the large sample library. The kick pedal and hi-hat stand are not included, so budget time for those before first use.
Who it's for
Intermediate and experienced drummers practicing at home or playing small rooms will use the amp and the realistic layout. Absolute beginners may find the setup and extra purchases more than they need.
Pros and cons
- Large library of kits and samples
- Cymbals sway with a 360 degree surface
- Magnetic hi-hat captures technique
- Snare and toms in acoustic sizes
- Kick pedal and hi-hat stand not included
- Throne and sticks not listed
- Weight and size not listed
Performance notes
Expression comes from multi-zone pads and cymbals with dual-edge sensors, which trigger different samples depending on where you hit. The magnetic hi-hat tracks pedal position for open and closed sounds. The amp's high-pass EQ trims rumble in small rooms.
