Drum Modules & Electronic Acoustic Systems - Which Is Right for You?
The products in this collection solve a specific problem - how to add electronic capability to an existing setup without starting from scratch. Whether that means upgrading the sound module on an older electronic kit, adding effects and recording capability to an acoustic kit, or integrating complex electronic triggering into a live acoustic performance, there's a solution here for each scenario.
If you own an older electronic drum kit with a dated sound module, the Yamaha DTX-PRO is the most straightforward upgrade available. It's compatible with a wide range of Yamaha DTX pads and brings the full feature set of the current DTX6, 8, and 10 series - improved sounds, Bluetooth, and advanced practice tools - to an existing pad setup at a fraction of the cost of a new kit.
If you play an acoustic kit and want to add electronic functionality, the Yamaha EAD10 and EAD50 are the most elegant solutions available. There's no need to fit triggers to individual drums or replace heads - the system clips onto your bass drum and captures the full acoustic sound of your kit through a stereo microphone, then adds effects, triggering, and recording capability on top. The EAD50 is the more advanced of the two, with improved sound capture and a more sophisticated effects engine.
The Evans Hybrid Sensory Percussion system is the most technically advanced option in this collection, and the most suited to electronic music production and performance contexts. Its ability to detect strike position and zone on a single drum head opens up a level of expressive electronic control that traditional triggering systems can't match.
