Some drummers use some or all electronic drum components. There are two approaches to using electronic drums. One approach is to use drum trigger pads for all of the different instruments. These pads are discs with a rubber-type coating that can be mounted on stands in the same locations that the traditional drum shells would be placed. Each disc has a piezoelectric transducer which transmits an electronic signal when it is struck. A patch cord from each drum pad disc is plugged into a drum synthesizer module and connected to the appropriate synthesized or sampled drum sound. Thus, when the drummer strikes the drum pad that is designated as the snare drum pad, the synthesizer module produces the sound of a snare drum. Since the sound is produced by a synthesizer, a performer can choose a range of sounds, such as samples of an actual drum or cymbal or electronic drum sounds. A drummer could even have the synthesizer produce non-drum sounds, such as sound effects or pitched notes.

Many drummers claim that early electronic drums gave only an approximation of the sound of acoustic drums, as there were often technical issues with triggering, as well as musical issues such as decreased range of dynamic and tonal subtlety. Consequently, the pioneering electronic drumsets such as the early Pollard Syndrum, Simmons and Yamaha models, were often used for certain types of rock, disco and techno genres in which the drums were usually expected to play a specific pattern or beat repeatedly with no variation in timbre. These were little more than manual sequencers, except for the Pollard Syndrum which was the first pro recording studio quality electronic drum. It had timbre, reliable triggering and full dynamic audio range beyond the human ear. The Pollard Syndrum is still highly sought after by pro drummers and musicians for recording.

It should be noted that there are inexpensive low-end drums and modules currently in production whose quality is just marginally better than some of their pioneering counterparts. For the most part, these new electronic drums are targeted toward the hobbyist or novice drummer.

hi,
I’m a college student studying in Herzliya, Israel. I live in a tiled and spacious student house with such crazy acoustics, I couldn’t drop a PIN without my roommates hearing it on the other side of the house. I’m not dropping so many pins around, so that isn’t too much of a problem… however, I really really really really really want a drumset. I had a friend’s for a few weeks back in the States before I moved, and I really started getting into drumming. I don’t have to tell you all what a kick ass feeling it is to drum…

So naturally I figured that the only way I’d be able to get a drumset is if it’s an electronic one. Only problem is: I don’t know squat about electronic drumsets. I’ve been looking at the selection of drumkits on ebay, and most of them are brand new deals. My humble student’s budget only allows for something around the $250 area (although I may be persuaded to go higher if there’s a quality concern.)

Thanks for providing the quality information as there are lots of sites that can just crack your head into pieces for its non-English texts.
