Compact Electronic Drum Kit with Headphones Digital Drums 400

Product Information

The frequency response of these cans is 5 to 40,000Hz which is enough to handle the crisp punch of a bass drum or the deep rumble of a floor tom, while lending some pleasing clarity to cymbals at the top end. That said, we did find the bass to be a little quieter than on some other models listed here. But there’s more to them than pure sound isolation. Once you’ve got your chops in good enough shape to get into the recording studio, these puppies will give you all the sonics you need to hear yourself cleanly and play with more finesse.

A gigging drummer - especially one in the field of electronic music - would do well to utilise these. Their dynamic compression; whilst not the most accurate or clean, has a really nice vibe that enhances most mixes sent through it. The lightweight design also really helps you feel connected with the gig, not to mention there’s actually some pretty solid sound isolation on offer here, too. The TD-02 module also has Bluetooth capability for jamming to your music collection, although you will need an adapter which comes at an additional cost. Alternatively, if your kit has a MIDI output, you can use a MIDI to USB converter and avoid using the samples on your drum kit’s module. This method is probably the best option, as using your electronic drums as a MIDI controller will allow you to make them sound like almost any drum kit in the world, even if you’re using a cheap, no-name kit. PA System You can use Bluetooth headphones with your electronic drums, but it is not advisable. The latency you get with Bluetooth headphones is too high to play drums in sync with what you hear, so it is best to use wired headphones.If you are operating on a smaller budget, inexpensive headphones work quite well for hobbyists and those who haven’t yet become audiophiles. Comfort Incorporating a mixer is an excellent way to practice like a pro, as you’ll get complete control of every single detail, and you’ll get to adjust everything you hear and set it up just the way you like it.

The TD-02 module also has Bluetooth capability for jamming to your music collection - a feature we've enjoyed seeing roll out to kits at the cheaper end of the spectrum - although you will need an adapter which comes at an additional cost. Sibling comparisons aside though, the DT990s are an excellent set of cans that feel very comfortable over the ears, have deep rich bass and clean crisp highs, as well as perfectly balanced mids. In our opinion, these are the best option for drummers playing on electronic drum kits, especially if also dabbling in a little bit of production.Look for headphones with a wide frequency response of around 20 Hz-20 kHz, as this will cover all of the sounds that your electronic drum set can produce.

Inexpensive headphones tend to have poor sound quality. This may frustrate you after a while if you’re accustomed to high-quality sound. But where we think this kit will really shine is as a MIDI controller for third-party sounds such as Superior Drummer. It’s less work than doing an acoustic conversion, and you can get playing straight away. The overall construction of the Vic Firth drum headphones is excellent, and these are a great investment for any drummer. The integrated cable is robust and sturdy, and you won’t experience any loose connections over time. The icing on the cake is features such as Bluetooth connectivity, USB recording and physical faders for each part of the kit on the front of the module for easy mixing on the fly.These cans are built to last and are significantly chunkier than most other over-ear options. Considering the very modest price point, there’s not much to complain about here, and we can highly recommend them for entry level, hobbyist and electronic drummers alike.
