The New Drum Revolution is here

It began in 1983 with the development of a radical electronic drum design incorporating traditional drum heads and high sensitivity piezo triggers. Re-thinking the way electronic percussion was sampled, triggered, and played, Ddrum allowed players to access a universe of sonic possibilities. Ddrum's unique designs set a benchmark for innovation when our trademark red Acoustic Pro Drum Triggers were introduced.

The Ddrum Team has taken their passion for the perfect drum kit to the next level by re-thinking the acoustic drum set, creating instruments that truly shatter the mold of conventionality, and bridging the gap between craftsman and connoisseur.

Pound out a pro-sounding rhythm with this ddrum Dios M-Series 5-piece drum kit in olive sparkle (model DS MP 20), which offers a rich aural texture thanks to its 100 percent North American Maple shells. It comes with a bass drum, snare drum, tom tom, and two floor tom; hardware and cymbals are not included in this package. They feature a hand-stained inner shell that creates a smooth conduit for vibration and sound to travel through and a glass-like finish on the exterior. Other features include ddrum's custom bullet lug design and 2.3mm triple flanged hoops.

Dios Series drums utilize exotic woods, as well as the industry standards. Beginning with bamboo, these shells are thinner in nature to allow the unique tonal character of these exotic hardwoods to truly shine. The eight plies of the shell are cross-laminated in an alternating vertical/horizontal grain pattern. This allows the outer shell to showcase the natural splendor of the wood through a satin black lacquer finish. The hand-stained inner shell of each drum creates smooth conduit for vibration and sound to travel through, delivering tone that will ignite an almost emotional response every time it is played. Accented further with ddrum bullet tube lugs and matching satin black bamboo wood hoops, Dios Series snare drums reflect ddrum's attention to quality.

ddrum Trigger Kit

ddrum Trigger Kit Review



This package of DDRUM Triggers contains one TK Kick Drum Trigger, one DTS stereo snare drum trigger for both a head and the rim sound, and three TT tom triggers. Background: Existing drum sensors consisting of piezo elements applied to the head of an acoustic drum have not been perceived as giving a "natural response". After analyzing the wave form patterns from acoustic drums, Clavia has created a patented transducer solution using vectored amplitude measurements (VAM) . Other problems include double triggering (you strike the drum once and you hear additional unwanted strikes) and crosstalk (you strike Tom 1 and Tom 2 plays too). Two other common problems with conventional triggers are: durability (when you hit them accidentally they can break) and unreliable mounting methods. Triggers mounted using adhesives can accidentally separate from the drumhead. Clavias patented trigger solves these problems and offers several other advantages: Playing dynamics are recognized in a "natural way", allowing for a realistic dynamic response across the entire drumhead (from the center of the head to the rim). Double triggering problem is reduced. The special design trigger reduces the crosstalk problem. Together with ddrum sound modules - crosstalk and double triggering are totally eliminated. No muffling is needed. Shock-mounted construction. XLR-Output for professional connection. Fits most types of moulded hoops. No adhesive is needed. Safely secured at the hoop with a standard tension rod. sturdy construction. all parts interchangeable. ddrumTriggers adds a new dimension to drummingIn the studio, for example, hook up your drum Triggers to existing acoustic drums and connect them to your soundmodule. You can combine great drum sounds with MIDI information almost instantly. On the road, custom-tailor your acoustic sound with the digital studio sounds in your ddrum sound module. Whether in studio sessions or on the road, the ddrum Triggers are the perfect c...
