Key Features
This is digital drumming redefined. With the DD480x's unique technology, the gap between virtual and acoustic drums has been bridged like never before.
Unlike most electronic kits, the DD480x features non-contact sensor technology which adds new levels of realism to electronic drumming. The unique, magnetic sensors convert the user's playing vibrations into digital information, which better reflects the intricacies of your drumming - either using the kit's vast selection of inbuilt sounds or triggering your favourite VSTs.
Maximum expression can be achieved with the DD480x. The kit's 10cm-deep drum pad shells are made from wood, providing the player with an authentic drumming experience upon sitting behind kit. Its dual-ply mesh heads offer rebound and an acoustic feel when struck, while the DD480x's powerful module empowers the player to create a totally personal virtual drum statement with ease.
Included with this kit is a set of HP-210 stereo headphones, a pair of 5A wood tip drumsticks, a high quality drum stool, 6m jack cable and the sideKIK Personal Musician's Amp with Bluetooth by Gear4music.

The DD480x's high-quality mesh drumheads offer excellent levels of response and feel - the closest you'll get to acoustic drum skins. Additionally, the cymbal and drum pads benefit from dual-zone technology, meaning you can fully experiment with your playing style. With increased variation - including rim shots and cymbal chokes - you can express yourself as much as you would on a traditional acoustic kit. You can even pull your fills and rim shots off in style with the DD480x's wooden drum pad shells.
The DD480x offers a fulfilling and authentic drumming experience whether you're in the studio, performing live, or practising. A thin strip of magnetic film sits between the drums' dual-ply mesh heads. Vibrations caused by playing are then detected by the kit's unique, non-contact sensory technology. This is used to translate your performance into digital information with improved accuracy. Highly responsive, this patented technology provides a much more detailed playing experience than most off-the-shelf kits.
The DD480x's powerful sound module features 30 fully-customisable preset kits, as well as 470 individual percussion sounds. This vast onboard sound library gives you endless choices for gigging, recording, and practice. When gigging, you can connect the line output to an amp or mixer. For practice, there's a handy AUX input for playing along with your favourite tracks, while its headphone output means you can rehearse without disturbing others - play at all hours of the day.
You can get even more out of the DD480x by connecting it to a computer or sound module. Drum with your full selection of VST and MIDI samples, or play and record in your favourite DAW - connected via MIDI or USB. Working with both Windows PCs and Apple Macs, the DD480x is completely plug and play.
Refine your skills with structured training. Whether you're perfecting a tricky drum fill for the studio, or practising a full track before a gig, the DD480x's Coach Mode is a useful ally. Its inbuilt metronome will help you improve your rhythm and timing in a controlled environment. And with 15 play-along songs, each track can be slowed down to allow you to rehearse in closer detail.
Premium quality and genuine versatility. The DD480x gives you the very best of digital drums with all the authentic trimmings you've come to expect from an acoustic kit. The chunky, wooden drum pad shells offer the feel and aesthetic of an acoustic kit, while the unique sensor technology establishes the DD480x as a premium electronic kit. Fuse together the best of both drumming worlds with the truly versatile DD480x.
The sideKIK is really clever. It features Gear4music’s ‘Immersive Sound Technology’ (or IST) to give you the perfect sound for a large variety of applications. The inclusion and positioning of the 6" woofer ensures that you won't just hear bass, you'll feel it! This is excellent for providing you with an extended bass response to accurately reproduce low-frequency content, such as bass guitars or lower octaves of a digital piano. It faces directly forwards so the low frequency pulses around you help to generate an immersive sound. You'll certainly feel the benefit when practicing with an electronic drum kit. The sideKIK will make kick drums feel and sound just like the real thing!
What's more, the two 3.5" high-frequency tweeters have been carefully angled so it directs straight towards your upper body, making it the perfect floor monitor. The speakers innovative design doesn’t end here. The tweeters are offset away from each other to ensure maximum dispersion of the mid and high frequency spectrum. In short, you’re still going to get that same great sound, whether you’re directly in front of the speaker or whether you’re at the other side of the room. No compromise necessary.
The inclusion of EQ dials allow you to globally tweak the sound of the sideKIK's first and second inputs to adjust their tonality. The low-frequency band provides a gradual bump at 150Hz for body and presence (perfect for a bit more kick drum or bass guitar), whilst the high-frequency band at 7.5kHz offers an ultra-smooth sheen for "record-ready" results.
