Play Better Guitar

These digital drums are in the acoustic house! You have to play them to appreciate how dynamic and expressive these pads are. Roland even modeled snare buzz and rim/stick sounds for the toms!

Yamaha has completely overhauled its flagship electronic kit and introduces the DTXTREME III. Shining examples of "technology powered by a drum company," the new DTXTREME III kits promise to set the standard for sound and function. In addition to redesigned cymbals, a new kick tower, and an all-new module, the sets use the same technology that powers the supercharged Yamaha MOTIF XS synthesizer.

The Classic V drum kit features unique American-made, all maple shells. The shells have a custom lay-up laminate configuration to give the drums more consistent response and strength -- strong enough to make a sound-dampening reinforcement ring and internal strength rings unnecessary. All toms up to 16 in. in diameter feature a thin, responsive 6-ply shell, while the bass drums and 18 in. floor toms utilize an 8-ply maple shell. A ten-ply layup is used for Tour Series snares and bass drum counterhoops. The Classic V shells have hand-crafted Slingerland True Timbre bearing edges and are offered in classic wrap and satin finishes.

Great feeling, great sounding! The new V-Stage Series TD-12S makes the middle range of the V-Drums line feel like first class. With mesh V-Pads all the way around, the TD-12S lets drummers sink their sticks into the best-feeling pads in the business. The new TD-12 drum module is an upgrade from the previous TD-8, sharing the same stunning sound quality as the flagship TD-20.

The Standard configuration is a more compact version of DTXTREMEIII. By sharing the same module, it retains all of the features but has a smaller footprint for when space is at a premium.

A ten-ply layup is used for Tour Series Snares and Bass Drum Counterhoops.

The Tama Starclassic Performer Bubinga kit is the latest creation from Tama. With so many maple kits on the market today, it's almost hard to remember that just 15 years ago, birch kits were more popular than maple. It was time for something new in drums. Tama found that something in African Bubinga wood, which is approximately 53% harder than Maple and Birch.

Designed for the touring drummer who requires "That Great Gretsch Sound" the Renown series offers incredible tone by retaining classic Gretsch features. Attributes include USA Rock Maple shells, 30-degree bearing edges, die-cast hoops, GTS suspension systems and Silver Sealer interior finishes. The sound is uniquely Gretsch.

The affordable alternative with advanced eatures. For drummers who want a state-of-the-art V-Drums kit but an even more cost-effective option, the TD9S offers all of the features and advantages of the TD9SX but with rubber tom pads instead of mesh and a dual-trigger ride cymbal.
