Perfect Feel The Digital Drum 550s innovative pad tensioning system allows you to perfect the feel of the electronic drum kits pads. Using the included drum key youll be able to fine tune how tight or loose you desire each pad to be for an authentic playing experience. Cutting Edge Playing Surfaces The Digital Drums 550s dual zone pads provide the highly realistic and intuitive feel that drummers want from an electric kit. The mesh kick drum pad offers one of the Digital Drums most realistic bass drum responses yet perfectly capturing every subtlety of your playing while drastically reducing mechanical noise when compared to a rubber pad for home rehearsal without the noise complaints.
