Extended functions, more voices, and versatility that today's drummer demands.

The Simmons SD7K Electronic Drum Kit is the next step up from the popular SD5K, with the expanded functionality that will please drummers and complement any stage. The drum feel is incredibly life-like, with over 300 realistic sounds and an expressive hi-hat. The bass drum pad accommodates a double pedal. With a dual-zone snare pad, 20 preset kits and space for 30 user kits, the SD7K delivers state-of-the-art electronic sounds with USB connectivity at an unbeatable price.

No matter what style you play, you owe it to yourself to explore the world of recording and performance possibilities that electronic percussion offers. The Simmons SD7K Drum Set has live, electronic pads and hand percussion options letting you add exotic sounds that would otherwise require a large and space-consuming collection of instruments. Drum giants like Vinnie Colaiuta and Josh Freese incorporate electronic drums into their live kits, giving them a far broader palette to work from. Plus, with many bands playing live to sequenced backgrounds, electronics are essential for triggering and interacting with your backing tracks. In the studio, the wide variety of sample libraries available make electronic drum sets more useful than ever. Just play the song, and use the SD7K kit's MIDI signal to trigger your choice of samples, and you'll have drum tracks that can be endlessly altered as you mix. Replace the snare, kick or toms, or combine multiple samples for a massively powerful wall of sound.

Bass pedal sold separately.

Simmons SD7K Electronic Drum Set Features:

* Drum module
* One crash cymbal pad
* One ride cymbal pad
* One hi-hat cymbal pad
* Three tom pads
* One snare drum pad
* One kick drum stand and pad

Off-Set Offers "Big Boy" Pedal
The Off-Set Bass Drum Co. introduces the Double-Single, a big bass drum pedal they are calling the "big boy." It features bearing-loaded foot board, 12.5" x 3.5" footboard with toe stop, Super Shackle spring shackles, and heavy duty return springs. Drummers will also appreciate the radius adjustable drive wheel, double chain drive, independently adjustable beater holders, hard-soft mallets, and solid metal base. It comes with both velcro and anti-skid posts for traction. The beaters strike the bass drum head simultaneously, creating a much bigger sound then a single beater could. The street price is $159.99.

ddrum Defiant 6-Piece Double Bass Shell Pack - Only $780.00!

ddrum Defiant 6-Piece Double Bass Shell Pack - Only $780.00!


A beast of a set that's ready for the most extreme rock.

The Ddrum Defiant 6 piece shell kit is best described by one word: metal. The kit's sparkle lacquer with black shell hardware combination make it stunning enough without being "pretty" and tough enough without being clunky. Basswood shells mean volume, shorter toms mean better rebound for faster playing, and the kick sizes are perfect for blast beats. The Remo head package makes it nearly ready to kill out of the box, and it is as at home on the festival stage as it is in a dingy club.

About Ddrum Acoustic Drums No doubt you've seen Ddrum around for a long time. Chances are, your favorite drummers have been playing on their gear for years. Players the likes of Tommy Lee, Simon Phillips, Kenny Aronoff and Dennis Chambers have been playing Ddrum triggers and electronic percussion since their introduction in 1983.

The Revolution began when the Swedish Clavia Company developed a radical electronic drum design incorporating traditional drum heads and high-sensitivity piezo triggers. Ddrum's unique design set a benchmark for innovation when their trademark red acoustic drum triggers were introduced; allowing players access to a universe of sonic possibilities from the standard drum kit.

From those humble beginnings arose a re-think in the way electronic percussion is sampled, triggered, and played. Generations of pads, triggers, and electronic drum modules have set the stage for the Ddrum 4 SE; the most accurate and professionally preferred complete electronic drum kit in existence.

Now Ddrum crosses into another percussive frontier: re-thinking acoustic drums. In the vast landscape of today's "Been there, done that" drum market, it is often difficult-if not impossible-to find something that truly shatters the mold of conventionality.

Welcome to the New Drum Revolution!

ddrum Defiant 6-Piece Double Bass Shell Pack Features:

* Drum sizes:
* 10" x 7" and 12" x 8" rack toms

Custom graphics over resonant Tour Custom maple shells put Moto-X at the head of the pack! The Yamaha Tour Custom Moto-X four-piece shell pack features an extra-large booming bass drum and a solid black finish with metallic orange racing stripes.

All Yamaha wood drums have one thing in common. Yamaha's craftsmen create every drum shell using Yamaha's exclusive staggered diagonal-seam Air Seal System just as they have since 1967. Each two- or three-ply master ply is cut to length to very precise tolerance with a diagonal cut on each end. The diagonal seam in the drum shell will not separate, eliminating the need to fill gaps in the bearing edge with filler putty. These plies have glue applied and are then put into the mold by hand, one master ply at a time. The craftsman then inserts an air bag into the mold and inflates it, clamping the shell with even pressure 360° around. This process creates a shell that is strong, starts round, and stays round for many years.

100% Maple Shell Tour Custom drum shells are 100% maple. The bass drums are 7-ply 7mm and have a warm, deep tone; the toms are 6-ply 6mm, with lots of warmth and resonance and have a wide tuning range. The matching wood snare drum has body, yet plenty of high end and is very articulate at all dynamic levels.

Universal Size Drums Tour Custom drums are available in Yamahas universal sizes. This ratio of diameter to depth makes these drums versatile enough for any musical situation. The bass drums have low-end punch but are responsive, the toms have lots of power, yet great sustain. The 6" x 14" matching wood snare drum has a very wide tuning range and great sensitivity so it is right at home on the road playing large venues or around town on a club date.

60 Degree Bearing Edges All Tour Custom drums have 60-degree R2 bearing edges. This is something new for Yamaha on a maple shell drum set. This bearing edge has a rounder profile so that there is more shell to head contact. This gives the drums clarity in the low-end fundamental and added warmth.

Bass Drum Spurs Sturdy, yet simple in design; the bass drum spurs hold the bass drum firmly in place even under heavy playing. They are height adjustable using a drum key, and there are steel spikes that can be exposed when extra hold is needed. They fold op compact for transport and are marked with angle indicators so that you can set them up the same every time.

YESS Tom and Floor Tom Brackets All Tour Custom toms and floor toms use the YESS (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System). The toms have a mount attached to the shell at the nodal point by two bolts. This system allows the drum shell to vibrate freely for maximum sustain without restricting the placement of the drums. The floor tom brackets are small, minimal contact mounts that are located at the nodal point. They hold the legs securely in place without restricting the vibration of the shell.

Ball Clamp and Triple Tom Holder Tour Custom drum sets include the TH-945 triple tom holder with Yamaha's tom ball clamp that gives you 360° rotation. The ball, made of a super-hard resin, is held in place by a single bolt making angle adjustments on the toms quick and easy. The toms lock firmly in place at virtually any angle you want. This versatile tom holder lets you mount any combination of up to three toms and/or cymbals by using either the standard or the long version of Yamaha's tom ball clamp and CH model cymbal booms.
