Authentic on-board sounds across a range of genres
Explore 30 pre-set kits on the digital drums 800 electronic drum kit, covering a wide range of styles from rock and metal to dubstep and house. Each kit can be customised by changing any of the pad sounds to one of the 556 sounds built into the module. Or, if you have a specific sound in mind, you can load audio files the via the USB memory slot on the module.
If you do decide to change the sound of a certain pad, or indeed create an entirely new kit of your own, you can keep your customisations by simply pressing the save button. This saves your selected sounds, including any effects and volume alterations, as a user kit, this makes it easily accessible at any time via the main screen.
You can add a range of effects to individual pads to fully customise your pre-set or user kit. These effects include; tone, pan, decay and reverb. You can even edit the mix as a whole by editing the room size, reverb type, reverb level, reverb time, and EQ.
Adjust the finer details
Customising your kit doesn't end at on-board effects and samples. Each trigger can be adjusted on the module to provide the perfect sound and response. This includes the sensitivity, threshold, and dynamic range of each trigger. In addition to this, you can customise the head, rim, and cross stick sounds independently. The dedicated hi-hat settings allow you to tweak the levels of sensitivity of the hi-hat pedal. If the screen brightness and contrast isn’t for you, you can increase or reduce it in the utility settings. You can also rename any user kit to a name of your choice for easy identification.
With a single press of a button, you can access a range of extremely handy features. This includes, tempo, click, record, save, and play.
- Tempo - adjust the speed, beat, rhythm, voice, and volume of the tempo track
- Click – press to instantly add a click track to the tempo selected
- Record – begins recording your playing. Synchronized recording also allows you to record with a backing track
- Save – Save a user kit
- Play – play the selected demo kit or a previous recording
The perfect playing experience
The DD800 has been designed with drummers in mind, with features allowing you to play without sacrificing the nuance of your acoustic performances. The pads on the kit are made from a double layered elastic mesh and can be tuned using the 6-lugs to match your exact preferences in terms of feel and stick response. Each shell features a rubber protector on its edge, ensuring rimshots are accurately and quietly captured. The lightweight cymbals have been carefully designed to provide a realistic 'wobble', reacting just like an acoustic cymbal would when hit. The larger, 12’’ kick drum pad is perfectly suited for double-kick drumming and provides the same mesh construction for an ultra-realistic feel.
The DD800 features a USB MIDI, a 5-pin MIDI in and out, aux in, stereo headphone out, Left/Mono & Right line out and Bluetooth audio. The MIDI out allows you to connect the kit directly to a DAW for MIDI recordings, whilst the Bluetooth audio allows you to play along to your favourite songs from your smartphone or tablet.
Develop your drumming with the on-board tutoring mode
The tutoring mode on the DD800 includes three activities: warm, rhythm and quiet.
- Warm is a warm up you can do before you begin playing. This mode guides you through playing singles, doubles, triplets, and quarter notes to a tempo track. You can adjust the speed and number of cycles to make the warm up as suitable as possible for you. There is also a medium and hard difficulty mode, introducing new techniques such as the 5-stroke roll.
- Rhythm is a new tutoring feature for the DD800 kit. This exercise allows you to choose from 20 two-bar patterns to play along to. You can change between time and bars, for the length of the exercise, as well as the grade of accuracy/difficulty. At the end of the exercise, the coloured display shows you how many notes you hit correctly and how many you were late for or missed. The rhythm exercise is a brilliant feature for helping you progress with your drumming, improving your timing and accuracy.
- Quiet is similar to the warm up, although the click track drops and in out. This is incredibly useful to practice and monitor how well you can keep time with and without a tempo track. At the end of the session, the coloured display shows you the percentage of correct hits, bad timings, and complete misses. In this mode you can adjust the tempo, beat, rhythm, voice, and volume. You can also adjust the length of the bar and how long the tempo track drops out for. Feeling brave? There’s even a random mode for added fun and more difficulty.
