ATV EXS-5

ATV is a manufacturer that stands for high-quality E-Drum sets, where an absolutely authentic playing feel and dynamic, realistic sounds are at the forefront. Although the ATV Exercise Series EXS-5 offers only five preset drum kits in its basic configuration (more are available for download on the ATV website), no wishes remain unfulfilled. The sound quality is really outstanding, so it can be used for band rehearsals or live gigs without hesitation. All drum pads are equipped with “tunable” mesh heads of which the tension can be adjusted to obtain the right feel. The diameters of all pads are also slightly bigger than in other e-drum sets in this price category.

Millenium MPS-450 E-Drum Set

The Millenium MPS-450 E-Drum Set offers many features for less than 400 euros, for which you have to shell out much more money from other manufacturers. These include low-noise mesh heads on the drum pads, an impressive 408 fully-editable sounds and the coach mode, which offers numerous practical exercises for timing, precision and dynamics. The 30 preset drum kits cover a huge range of acoustic and electronic drum sounds as well as effect sounds, and a further 10 kits can be filled with custom sounds. An illuminated display ensures that the most important parameters are always in view.

Alesis Strike MultiPad

The Alesis Strike MultiPad offers a combination of percussion pad with 9 striking surfaces, sampler and looper in a highly compact format. The unit contains 8000 sounds and samples, which can be extensively edited and assigned effects, and has 32 GB memory capacity for samples that can be fed into the MultiPad via microphone, USB, smartphone or any other audio device. Optical highlights are the high-resolution 4.3″ color display and the illuminated, velocity-sensitive pads that can be assigned different colours, for example to distinguish between different sound categories or to display loops.
