Gear4music\u2019s DD420X is the next step up from the DD400, featuring mesh heads for an enhanced playing feel. If you\u2019re looking for an authentic, well-rounded drumming experience from the very start, your search is over.<\/p>\n<p>The DD420X includes four mesh drumhead pads &#8211; three toms and a snare &#8211; plus three cymbal pads. The crash cymbal pad even contains a choke feature, which means you can mute the cymbal sound by firmly holding the pad with your hand after striking it &#8211; a technique used by drummers for adding accents.<\/p>\n<p>Mesh drumheads offer enhanced bounce and playing response, much more akin to a traditional drum skin. Each drum pad is housed in thick, durable plastic that will endure hours upon hours of playing &#8211; and they certainly look the part!<\/p>\n<p>The DD420X comes with many features of the DD400, including the same drum sounds, preset kits and accessible LCD screen control function. While the mesh heads give a more responsive playing feel, an additional bass drum pedal\/pad unit lets you develop your bass drum kicks and footwork.

Instead of drum shells, electronic kits comprise a series of pads or sensors that produce sounds when struck.<\/p>\n<p>Each strike is detected by a trigger and turned into drum sounds by a sound module \u2013 giving classic drum sounds, alongside enhanced modern possibilities. Electronic kit configurations are often faithful visual representations of acoustic drum sets, but there are a number of functional contrasts between each style of kit.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_benefits_of_electronic_drums\"><\/span>What are the benefits of electronic drums?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The most obvious benefits of electronic drum kits are their practicality for home use. Typically, they\u2019re much smaller and more compact than full-size acoustic drums. Not to mention the all-important noise control.<\/p>\n<p>Using a sound module to generate sounds, you can simply plug in your headphones and play in near silence, long into the night. The only noise you\u2019ll hear is the strike of the pads\/mesh heads, which is far quieter than an acoustic kit. This makes electronic drums a smart investment for bedroom practice and home recording.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_drum_module\"><\/span>What is a drum module?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Drum modules are powerful pieces of technology, packed with dozens, sometimes hundreds of unique drum and percussion sounds.

For example, the high-grade mesh and silicone rubber materials used for electronic drum and cymbal pads respond just like a classic drum skin, with plenty of rebound.<\/p>\n<p>While acoustic kits might have more aesthetic options, premium electronic drum kits can easily steal the show in the creative department.
