Giving you the ability to practice quietly as well as perform live, the XD8USB 8-Piece Electronic Drumset with Drum Module from Behringer features their HD110USB sound module, which provides 123 drum, cymbal, and percussion sounds organized into 10 factory presets, with space for 5 user-programmable kits. It employs Behringer\'s High Definition Sampling (HDS) technology that is designed to provide an authentic, acoustic-style drumming feel. Thanks to its dual-zone operation, the snare pad allows for drum head and rim playing techniques.
To help with your practicing, the sound module features a built-in sequencer as well as an audio input that allows you to play along with tracks from your portable device. The module\'s USB output allows you to use the XD8USB to control virtual instrument software as well as the unit\'s built-in sounds.
Ready to Rock Right Out of the BoxBehringer knows how much you love to play, so they designed their XD Series drum kits for fast, tool-free setup. Just pull the kit out of the box, position the drum and cymbal pads the way you like \'em and plug in; it\'s just that simple. And when you\'re finished playing, just fold up the kit and stash it behind the couch or underneath the bedAuthentic FeelThe way drums feel is one of the most important factors, especially for drummers who use electronic drums for practice and then return to an acoustic kit for live performance. So Behringer gave the pads a natural rubber surface, which mimics the feel of real skins and minimizes false triggering. All of their kits feature sturdy, extruded aluminum frames, which provide a solid foundation for the drum and cymbal padsSound QualityEasy setup and feel are important, but how do they sound? Thanks to their vast libraries of studio and live drum, percussion and cymbal sounds, XD Series drums have a collection of pro sounds to choose from. And if that\'s still not enough, you can always use XD\'s MIDI capability to build your own library via external MIDI sound modules, plus you can program and store your favorite kits for instant recallMarch to the Beat of Your Own DrumAcoustic drums sound fantastic, but can cause volume issues, especially in a small club or when you need to practice at home late at night. XD Series drum kits provide a volume solution, allowing you to control the level and still satisfy your desire to rock out. You can practice with the built-in metronome or play along with your favorite tunes thanks to the Aux inputs and USB connectivity. Output options abound, including headphones (your neighbors will thank you), stereo and mono Main Outs, plus USB/MIDI for hooking up external sound modules8-piece electronic drum set with HDS110USB sound module10 factory presets plus 5 user-programmable drum setsUSB interface to connect with any virtual instrument and drum software (not included)123 drum, cymbal and percussion soundsRealistic-feeling, natural playing trigger pads and cymbalsDual-zone snare pad for drum head and rim playing techniquesAudio input to play along with your iPod, iPhone, iPad, or MP3 playerBuilt-in sequencer for play-along practice and performanceComposed tracks cover a wide variety of musical stylesAll sounds are velocity-sensitive for natural dynamic response

In 2009, Korg unveiled Wavedrum WD-X, a revival of the original Wavedrum that debuted in 1994. The reimagined ʽ09 Wavedrum had a stunning impact as a performance tool that brought new expressive power to musicians?from users of the original Wavedrum to forward-looking percussionists. Subsequent models included Wavedrum Oriental with its added Arabic sounds, Wavedrum Mini with its unique sensor clip, as well as limited edition color models, and the instrument's unbounded potential has continued to accelerate the spread of Wavedrum mania throughout the world.

The original Korg Wavedrum amazed the music world back in 1994. This legendary musical instrument was instantly famous for its innovative design, performance possibilities, and unique sounds. Well, hang on tight; the power-packed, affordable next-generation Wavedrum Dynamic Percussion Synthesizer is here today and ready to make musical history. Again.
The Power of the Dark Side
Step away from the ordinary. Now you can stand out from the crowd with the Wavedrum Black Limited Edition. Featuring an unmistakably premium look, the Wavedrum Black is finished with a solid black metallic rim and an exclusive BLACK SUEDETM Remo drum head - projecting a totally different vibe than the cool aura of the original silver scheme. With the Wavedrum Black Limited Edition, you'll find yourself inspired like never before.
Wavedrum - Unprecedented sound, response, and performance
Sonically rich, programmable, and intensely sensitive, this 2nd generation Wavedrum is bursting with more than enough power and expression to create its own musical legend. The extreme dynamic range challenges the response of an acoustic instrument. Wavedrum responds instantly to any and all playing styles, from subtly-nuanced tapping and stroking to aggressive, rhythmic assaults. From traditional acoustic percussion instruments to unique sounds previously impossible to obtain, Wavedrum serves up an enticing treasure trove of sounds. With Wavedrum, you're always in control. Instruments that normally require special techniques to play, such as tabla, conga, etc., can be played with ease. Create your own unique performance style, filled with unparalleled levels of expression and originality. Built to travel, the compact and lightweight Wavedrum is ideal wherever your musical dreams take you - from casual playing through to a full-on recording session or a live concert performance.
Open the door to new musical journeys
The Korg Wavedrum delivers inspiration and satisfaction to creative performers seeking new realms of expressiveness and sounds. Moving beyond traditional drum and percussion sounds, Wavedrum also provides totally new and unique sounds that are not available in the real world, and offers new ways of playing to achieve new levels of musical expression. Imagine changing the pitch randomly with each hit, or playing melodic phrases simply by choosing a musical scale and applying pressure to the head. Imagine no more, Wavedrum does it all. While opening new doors, Wavedrum is faithful to its roots. Traditional hand-drum techniques, such as adding pitch and tonal changes to a strike by pressing the head, have been previously unobtainable on an electronic instrument. No longer. Wavedrum can process and respond to these intimate performance gestures as no other instrument can. These same techniques provide a wealth of performance possibilities. For example, Wavedrum can produce sitar and tambura sounds at the same time. You can produce tambura sounds alone by hitting the head, adding the sitar sounds by applying pressure to the head before hitting it. Applying further pressure can change the pitch of the sitar within the selected scale. Only Wavedrum is able to offer such astounding versatility.
Multiple sensors deliver previously unimaginable expressiveness
Acoustic percussion instruments produce sound naturally, in direct response to a physical impact, be it gentle or abrupt. Wavedrum, although an electronic musical instrument, creates sound exactly the same way. The head and rim pickups are directly used as a sound source to be processed by the DSP (Digital Signal Processing) algorithms, and they also trigger the PCM sound engine. Together with the pressure sensor under the head, the Wavedrum responds to each and every subtle finger and hand motion (hitting, rubbing, scratching etc). as well as to the traditional hand drum techniques of open shot, slap shot, heel and toe, mute, etc. Of course, the Wavedrum responds not just to your hands, but to other playing materials as well, such as sticks, mallets, and brushes. The rim has two types of notches, small and large, and these can be used to elicit a tremolo-type effect by scratching with sticks, etc. Combining the rim sounds with the head sounds can create an even richer, more original performance.
DSP synthesis and PCM samples combine for endless sonic exploration
The Wavedrum contains 36 DSP algorithms to conjure an abundance of synthesis methods; analog, additive, non-linear, physical modeling, etc. Using these building blocks, you can create various instrument sounds, natural sounds, or purely synthetic sounds - in addition to Wavedrum's own unique voice. The PCM sound engine - the other important part of Wavedrum's sound creation system - contains 200 sampled sounds; 100 for the head, and 100 for the rim, with velocity-switching capabilities. Certain algorithms allow you to combine a specific DSP method and a PCM instrument to the head, and assign a different combination to the rim. This method of controlling multiple sounds within a single program delivers a fantastic playing experience, rich in sound. In other algorithms, the velocity and tone of the strike are used to control the PCM sound, creating a responsive interaction that far surpasses any sample-playback device, one rivaling that of an acoustic instrument.
Planet-wide percussion
Wavedrum begins with a foundation of traditional pop/rock drum sounds such as snares, kick drums, tom toms, and more. Wavedrum also opens new vistas of sound, delivering a wealth of percussion sounds from many eras and cultures around the globe and throughout time. Ethnic percussion instruments, although seemingly simple in structure and performance, are capable of expressing the complex emotions of a culture. These include popular percussion instruments such as cajons, congas and tablas; metallic instruments such as cowbells, and triangles, along with rare ethnic percussion sounds. With Wavedrum, you have instant access to instruments such as the udu, a clay pod percussion instrument; the jegog, a bamboo gamelan marimba from the island of Bali; a talking drum from Africa, gongs, and many other instruments that often require special playing skills. Not strictly limited to percussion sounds, Wavedrum includes stringed instruments such as the sitar, koto, and berimbau as well. For every sound, Wavedrum adds its own new modes of expression, in addition to faithfully re-creating the original sounds.
Enjoy 100 preset programs; create 100 programs that are all your own
The 100 preset Wavedrum programs range from high-fidelity emulative drum and percussion sounds to a world of new and unique sounds. There are a range of parameters available for editing and tweaking to create new sounds to suit your own music or style of playing. In addition to making changes to pitch, decay time, loudness, reverb, delay, and curve (intensity) of the pressure sensor, you can completely alter the sound by, for example, changing the head material parameter from skin to metal. The combination of DSP and sampled sounds can also be changed to create totally new sounds from scratch. These new programs (up to 100) can be stored in the user area. The Wavedrum also has a Live Mode, which can store up to 12 favorite programs (from the preset or user programs) for selection instantaneously during performance.
Jam-along functions for added fun
Sure, you can enjoy the Wavedrum just by playing the sounds alone, but the dynamic and interactive Wavedrum adds some special features that provide jam-along abilities for fun or practice. Practice your paradiddles or simply wail away along to 100 loop phrases from various musical genres. Using the AUX input, you can mix in the signal from any audio source - CD, MP3 player, or even an additional Wavedrum. The options are endless.
Ready, Set, Go
Portable, compact, and lightweight, Wavedrum is ready for any musical outing. Hold Wavedrum on your lap, or play it standing like a hand drum. Place Wavedrum on an ordinary snare drum stand, or add Wavedrum to any electronic or acoustic drum kit. Use Wavedrum as part of a DJ set-up, or add a percussive element to your keyboard rig. Wavedrum is the ideal accent for any vocalist or front person. Using the headphone output allows you to practice in private, anytime, anyplace - without fretting about the neighbors!
