The Perfect Tool for Aspiring And Accomplished Drummers Alike

A superb, flexible kit, suitable for all levels of player, which combines the great quality and sound you'd expect to find in much more expensive kits, but at an amazing price. The Gear4music 502-J is the perfect choice for aspiring drummers looking for silent practice options and a space saving set up on a kit with a professional sound and familiar comfortable playability.

Natural And Responsive Feel

The realistic feeling drum and cymbal pads have a tough rubber skin, with the same feel and response that you get from an acoustic kit. Each pad features accurate velocity response, being able to respond to anything from the most subtle of cymbal rolls, to your hardest pedal downbeat or rim shot. The rims of the pads are made from a tough moulded polymer. You even have the option to change the drum heads, allowing you to use your favourite head, whilst still taking advantage of the features available on this kit. It is simply a case of unscrewing the rim, changing the head, and screwing the rim back down again.

Realistic Acoustic Drum Sounds

This electronic drum kit boasts an impressive 215 individual drum, cymbal and percussion sounds, which have been carefully arranged into 20 preset kits, with the ability to change the individual sounds and volumes and store these to 10 user kits. Each sound has been carefully sampled and reacts accurately to how hard you strike the pad, just like an acoustic kit. As well as having control over the sounds used in the kit, you can change the individual volumes quickly and easily giving you further scope for creativity.

Skill Building Tools

The 502-J is remarkably effective as a learning and training tool. It comes with 50 preset backing tracks in a variety of styles and tempos, each with the ability to control what parts are playing. For example, you can have all parts playing and you can try to match the rhythm being played by the kit, or you can turn off the percussion part and jam along with the instruments. As such, the 502-J is the perfect kit for leaning to play the drums, as well as building the confidence and technique of an advancing player, safe in the knowledge that this great kit will grow with their learning.

Another key feature of the 502-J is midi connectivity, allowing you to record your playing on a midi sequencer, or trigger software on your PC or Mac making it the ideal entry level kit for beginners or a valuable and affordable part of an advancing player's set-up.

If you're just starting out, or simply looking for a more complete set-up, you may be interested in the Digital Drums 502-J Electronic Drum Kit Package Deal which comes with extra sticks, headphones and drum throne.

Press Reviews

This drumset was reviewed by Music Radar - a leading online publication for musicians.

"[This] rack...is both strong and rigid while also providing each of the plastic pads and rack clamps with an excellent surface to grip."
"Even after some lengthy playing during the review, [the heads] showed hardly any signs that the stick-resilient rubber had even been struck."
