Electronic drum kits have revolutionized the realm of percussion in much the same way that the synthesizer has widened the possibilities of keyboard instruments.
FUNCTION:
An electronic drum set consists of three main components: a trigger, a "brain," and an output. The trigger which is usually a drum pad that is struck with stick, which will then send a signal to the brain (called a module) and then registers the intensity of the hit and assigns the signal a sound, which is then transmitted to the output, normally a speaker or headphones.
Each of the modules can be connected to several triggers or modules. The module contains pre-programmed virtual drum kits and assigns each trigger a different sound.
SOUND PRODUCED:
The differences are the sounds that it produces and the subtle tactile differences between striking an actual drum head and an electronic drum pad.
QUALITIES TO LOOK WHEN BUYING ONE:
Electronic drum sets are more expensive than acoustic drum set. A more reliable and versatile electronic drum set will be likely to cost slightly more. ‘The main complaint about electronic drum kits among musicians is the authenticity of the sound.’
HISTORY:
Single-pad analogue drum were introduced in the 1970s but their unrealistic sound made them suitable for use as a percussion effect than as a replacement for traditional drums. The Simon’s first model was the SDS-3, featuring four drum channels and a noise channel; its drum pads were round, with wooden frames and a real 8-inch drum head. The world's first fully electronic drum set, the SDS-V featured the hexagonal pads and distinctive "dzzshhh" sound heard in countless songs by 80s bands. The standard configuration consisted of an expandable rack-mountable "brain," containing the various drum sounds, and pad modules for bass drum, snare, and three toms. Simmons chose this material for its durability but it resulted in wrist pain for the users. Thus, they began shipping pads with soft rubber surfaces.
