ATV aDrums Artist Standard Drum Kit Electric #1083

The power to inspire. ATV's aD5 Module breathes life into the aDrums series. A musical instrument in itself, the aD5 provides meticulous and dynamic drum sounds as if they were recorded there and then. With 5 pre-set kits, its high-quality, uncompressed sounds were recorded in world-class studios using custom, boutique equipment. Whether it's the familiar rattle of a snare drum, or the shimmer of a cymbal, these subtle nuances make for a joyous playing experience. These are real acoustic sounds.

Mechanical repetitions are a thing of the past. The aD5 features a newly-developed drum sound engine to express your full dynamic range - from gentle pianissimo to powerful fortissimo. Even with complex fills and fast rolls, your hits are reproduced with pinpoint precision. The natural and varied sound of acoustic drums.

With electronic drums, trigger response is everything. It's crucial that your sounds are heard at the exact moment you strike, or your groove will suffer. The aD5 was developed from the ground up to provide high-speed trigger detection and low-latency sound generation, allowing you to express your distinct drumming personality.

Be honest. Have you ever seen an electronic drum kit with visuals like these? The aDrums series allows you to connect with an electronic instrument like never before - heightening your performance because of the way in which the feel and appearance of the kit match the sounds it produces.

Consistent sounds and acoustic dynamics

Previous electronic kits have suffered from hotspots that caused abrasive sounds to be produced when a head's centre was struck. The modules would then respond by limiting the dynamic range to lessen these effects. With multiple sensors used for the drums and cymbals, the aDrums series provides consistent sensitivity for the striking surfaces. You can fully express your range of hard and soft strikes just like you would on an acoustic kit.

A hi-hat pedal that can keep up

Most electronic hi-hat designs use contact-style sensors to detect pedal motion - limiting their capabilities. Not the aDrums. This hi-hat uses a non-contact sensor that allows high-precision sensing with no delay even when the pedal is opened and closed rapidly - delivering even greater accuracy.

Electronic cymbals unchained

The aDrums' cymbals can be played and choked anywhere around their full circumference, eliminating the need for rotation stoppers that restrict their natural motion. The innovative design replicates other important details as well, such as how the entire cymbal flexes and wobbles when its edge is struck. With subtle cymbal idiosyncrasies, you can't get any closer to the real thing.

The heart of your groove

For rhythmic support, it's essential that your kick drum combines stability with ultra responsive triggering. The aDrums design achieves both with its unique buffer - dampening as it senses each strike. The 18" shell and its large spars also have an important part to play. Even with fast and hard strikes using a double pedal, you're always guaranteed perfect sensing and stability in your performance.
