ELECTRONIC PERCUSSION controllers fill many roles. In the studio, they can be used for tracking realistic drum parts into a MIDI sequencer or for cutting demo tracks using a software drum library to avoid miking up an acoustic kit. Onstage, they can be used to augment the sounds of your drum set by doubling the kick and snare, or simply to provide extra colors. And because pads are quieter than acoustic percussion when struck, they work well in low-volume performance situations, such as small venues, schools, and houses of worship. The Right Feel Whether you’re assembling a hybrid electronic/acoustic system to enhance your traditional set or looking for a complete electronic drum kit, the system you choose should not only be based on price and the way you’ll use it (e.g., gigging, recording): You will want to take into consideration the feel and response of the pads, and what it’s like to play them. Drummers who are used to hitting acoustic drumheads and cymbals often have to alter their playing technique much more when playing lower-priced trigger pads, which are made from cheaper materials and provide minimal rebound.
The more responsive instruments, such as the drum triggers with mesh heads, tend to be higher priced, but in my opinion, as a drummer, they’re worth it. On the other hand, if you’re new to drums, the way the pads feel when you play them might be less influential on your purchasing decision than the internal sound set or the I/O options (such as having USB MIDI connectivity). In either case, you will make the most informed purchase decision by spending some time behind the kits you’re interested in, hitting the pads, and checking out the sounds. Following is a sampling of recent releases in the world of electronic percussion by manufacturers who are leaders and innovators in the field, many of whom have decades of R&D behind their products. Not included in this roundup is the outstanding Nord Drum 2 and Nord Pad combo: You can read our recent review of that system in the June 2014 issue. All prices are MSRP unless otherwise noted.
Alesis DM10 Studio Kit Mesh Alesis DM10 Studio Kit Mesh, DM10 X Kit Mesh $999.99 street and $1,499 street. The Studio and X kits differ in two important ways: drum- and cymbal-pad sizes, and the heftiness of the rack. The Studio Kit Mesh features a 10' dual-zone snare, four 8' dualzone toms, 12' and 14' cymbals, and the solid StageRack.
When assembled, everything but the kick pad and hi-hat pedal attach to the rack. The X Kit Mesh, on the other hand, features two 10' and three 12' dual-zone drum pads; 12', 14', and 16' cymbal pads; and the heavy-duty XRack. A separate snare stand is provided to avoid crosstalk, which, according to the manufacturer, allows for higher sensitivity settings.
Both sets have identical kick pads, a 1-piece 12” hi-hat pad, and a 3-zone ride cymbal. Each of the 4-post racks is large enough to accommodate extra triggers, cymbals, and other accessories and still hold a solid footing.
The two configurations use the DM10 sound module, which provides 100 factory kits, all of which are customizable. The kits are assembled from a library of 1,047 16-bit/44.1kHz audio files that cover many different instrument types—acoustic and electronic. The DM10’s built-in mixer lets you set levels for each instrument quickly and without scrolling through menus. The internal sequencer holds 75 preset patterns and 25 user-created patterns, and you have the ability to overwrite all 100 of them.
The DM10 has 12 TRS 1/4' trigger inputs and includes stereo aux inputs on RCA jacks, main and aux outputs on 1/4' jacks, standard 5-pin MIDI I/O, and a USB port for transferring MIDI data with your computer. You can also connect the module to an iPad using the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit in order to trigger Core MIDI-compatible apps. Drummers who are creating a hybrid kit and want the feel of a standard drumhead under their sticks should check out Aquarian’s inHead triggering system, which embeds force-sensing resistor (FSR) technology into a multi-ply head. When the FSR layers are activated by pressure or touch, the circuit is completed and an impulse signal is sent to the output. The result is an integrated triggering system that is compatible with the majority of hardware- and software-based drum modules. Unlike conventional drum triggers that react to vibration and are susceptible to sympathetic misfiring or double triggering, the inHead will trigger only when it senses pressure. This makes the inHead sensitive enough to respond to sticks, brushes, mallets, and fingers while providing the high-quality timbre and feel Aquarian heads are known for.
Each inHead includes an inBox to power the FSR, as well as boost and condition the output signal. A gain control is provided for dialing in an accurate output level, and the unit is powered by a 9V battery. The inBox has inputs labeled “head” and “rimshot” (the latter designed to accept the company’s rimShot sensor), which can be sent to separate channels of your sound module from the inBox’s 1/4” TRS output.
The unit attaches securely to one of your drum’s tension rods, but stays out of the way when you play. The inHead Kick and Snare Pack ($169.95 street) adds a rimShot sensor and a kickZone bass-drum trigger to create a 3-input triggering system.
The inHead is available in sizes ranging from 10' to 16' and can be purchased separately.
