Quick Intro To Electronic Drums Electronic drumming is more than just another step in the evolution of drumming, it’s an essential part of the modern drumset. It’s rare these days to listen to a record or attend a concert where at least some form of electronic drums aren’t being used, whether it’s a drum machine pattern, electronic drum track or hybrid acoustic-electronic drum sounds. In fact, electronic drumming offers many advantages in concert, recording and rehearsal situations, including: • Silent practice and “plug-and-play” practice with MP3s and your favorite streaming service. • Programming and playing with loops and sequences. • Creating, accessing, modifying and combining a wide range of high-quality drum, percussion and other sounds. • Covering horn parts, bass lines, background vocals and percussion while sitting behind the drumset. • Recreating studio sounds in live settings and interfacing electronic drums with computers at home or in the studio. ELECTRONIC DRUM TERMINOLOGY Controllers can be single or multi-zone drum pads or triggers that mount on acoustic drums. Striking the controller activates the sensor and sends an electronic signal to the sound module telling it to generate a sound. Sound Modules use electronic circuits and components to synthesize sounds or playback digital samples (pre-recorded sounds). Sound modules are also called “brains” and may include other features such as programmability, memory, sampling or effects. Stop in to Learn More!
