Main Features

❐LIGHTING GUIDE SYSTEM teaches you to play by following the drum pad lights.

A circle of light around each drum pad illuminates to let you know when it’s time to strike the pad. You can select from a variety of “play levels” that let you control the number of pads that light, so you can practice at a pace that suits your skill level.

❐Touch Response

The volume of the sound produced is varied in accordance with how hard you strike a pad. This makes it possible to add a range of nuances to your percussion play.

❐50 versatile rhythms

Select from among 50 different preset rhythms, including latin, rock, jazz, and much more.

❐4 built-in sound effect pads

A simple operation assigns sound effects from a selection of groups: Beat, Animal, Sci-Fic, Arena, and Comedy. Used in combination with the drum pads, the sound effect pads make your performances more exciting and fun.

❐Informative display screen

An easy-to-understand display screen provides you with a wealth of information about the Digital Drum’s operations.

❐Quick and easy dial operation

Simply rotate the dial to select a rhythm and to change other settings and selections.
