Digital Drums 550 Electronic Drum Kit by Gear4music - Secondhand

Full Description

What's New?

Featuring a broad range of features that enhance its already impressive capabilities, the DD550 is a welcomed addition to Gear4music's Digital Drum Series. Unlike any other kit within the range, the DD550 comes complete with a full-size hi-hat stand. Its fast action and smooth response ensures a realistic playing experience. The kit also benefits from an additional 12" cymbal and 10" tom pad. All included dual zone pads have now been upgraded to 10" for a realistic playing experience that parallels an acoustic drum kit.

Intuitive Interface

At the heart of the 550 Electronic drum kit is its state-of-the-art drum module. Designed to provide greater connectivity and controllability, its streamlined nature allows you to focus on what's most important without getting caught up in the finer details. From adjusting the time signature and BPM, to switching kick and snare samples, even the most advanced of options are readily available in only a few clicks of a button.

Maximum Customisation

Creativity is at the core of the DD550 Kit. Every detail of each of the 329 individual drum sounds can be precisely tailored to your desired sound. Fancy a deeper snare tone? Lower its pitch. Looking for a more up-front kick drum sound? Adjust its compression and EQ settings in an instant.

Combined with the broad and extensive collection of onboard DSP effects, whether you want outlandish industrial tones or that organic, roomy, Nashville sound, the drum tone of your dreams is ready at the touch of a button.

Perfect Feel

The Digital Drum 550's innovative pad tensioning system allows you to perfect the feel of the electronic drum kit's pads. Using the included drum key you'll be able to fine tune how tight or loose you desire each pad to be for an authentic playing experience.

Cutting Edge Playing Surfaces

The Digital Drums 550's dual zone pads provide the highly realistic and intuitive feel that drummers want from an electric kit. The mesh kick drum pad offers one of the Digital Drums' most realistic bass drum responses yet, perfectly capturing every subtlety of your playing, while drastically reducing mechanical noise when compared to a rubber pad, for home rehearsal without the noise complaints.

Almost any technique you'd use on a regular acoustic drum kit has been catered for. The snare and each of the four tom pads have a separate sensor in the rim, allowing you to switch to rim-clicks, or, if you wish, assign an entirely separate sample to this sensor for easy access to cowbells, tambourines and more. With three choke-able dual zone cymbal pads, in addition to the hi-hat pad, you've got scope for two crashes and a ride cymbal too, completing a physical playing experience that feels just like playing an acoustic set of drums.
