#winning Digital Drum Sticks

Product Information

That being said, if you’re not too fussed about playing an e-kit that feels like an acoustic one and your budget is tight, then rubber pads could be your new best friend. The all-mesh drum pads go some way to giving you a similar experience to playing an acoustic kit and the module features a satisfying range of sounds that should keep most drummers well occupied. Some drummers opt for a hybrid setup - a combination of acoustic drums and electronic sample pads and triggers which enable you to layer sounds, enhance your acoustic drum sound and so much more. Not only do the full acoustic drum shells give the kit that traditional look that means it wouldn't look out of place on stage or in a top-end studio, but the TD-50X sound module is currently unbeatable when it comes to the technology on-board.

With decades of experience working for Roland and ATV, EFnote’s product designers have hit the ground running since launching the brand in 2018. These include compression and ambience, as well as an effect level dial - which can help to bring your drums to life in a live or studio scenario.As the heat in your hands increases – the stick becomes grippier and less likely to move around in your palms. Switching between kits, creating custom kits and tweaking other parameters can all been done directly from the module. Not much needs to be said about the TD-50KV2, as it is, no doubt, the best and most expensive electronic drum set available. This, coupled with the increase in live drum triggering - when drum triggers are placed on acoustic drums and used to trigger pre-recorded drum sounds - means that actually, a lot of what you might hear at a gig is actually the same as you might hear from an e-kit. Places like Thomann, Andertons and Gear4Music, in the UK/Europe, and Guitar Center, Musician’s Friend and Sweetwater in the US all have huge ranges of e-kits from the big-name brands, as well as smaller ones - so you should be able to find an e-kit to suit your needs and budget without any hassle.

Some triggers also feature multiple pickups, enabling more dynamic and realistic triggering of sounds. It has enough weight to swing naturally and, since there is more mass, when I laid into it, my mind was almost tricked into believing it was an acoustic cymbal with my eyes closed.

With the Alesis Nitro MAX being so affordable, it’s no wonder why it’s one of the top-selling electronic drum sets online.
