DISC WHD 517-DX Pro Mesh Electronic Drum Kit, Silver Module

Full Description

Mesh Heads for an Authentic Drumming Experience

The WHD DD517 is equipped with mesh heads on all of the drums, including the kick drum, which gives a thoroughly authentic drumming experience. Being carefully designed to feel as much like an acoustic drum as possible, the pads are also Dual Zone, offering Rim shots as well as drum hits. All of the cymbals have a Choke function, and the Ride cymbal has an additional Bell hit function, making the whole kit as close to acoustic drums as is possible.

Perfect Your Technique

This kit has 120 preset songs which have been selected to give a wide range of fun and informative tracks for play along. Perfect for practice, the drum track can be removed so you can take this role yourself. An inbuilt metronome helps you keep time whilst the LCD display lets you know if you play too fast or too slow. The Sequencer function means that you can record your parts and listen back to them, or store them on the SD card so you can listen to them anywhere, which can be an invaluable practice tool.

Versatile Computer Connectivity

The DD517 is fully Midi compatible, with both USB and Midi in and out connections. This allows you to record your drumming straight on to the computer, or use your kit to trigger other Midi equipped instruments, making this kit a versatile performance tool. With the SD card, you can easily transfer you recorded and sequenced parts on to another device, and with the Auxialliary Input you can connect any CD or mp3 player, allowing you to jam along to your favourite tracks.

"Curved rack tubes create an ergonomic platform where a sweeping circular motion helps us blast around the kit."

"Great value for money. Runs virtually silent, so it's ideal for those with close neighbours. Mesh pads make for a responsive playing experience."

"This is yet another great value electronic kit from WHD which, thanks to the mesh pads and intuitive module, makes playing just that much more enjoyable."
