Keep the Beat with these Electronic Drum Sets

Ready to lead the beat? These electronic drum sets are for you. Alesis
Back in the 1970s, the music scene was changing. Not just with the introduction of synthesizers and rock operas, but that's when electronic drum sets (or drum kits as they are known in Europe) started keeping the beat. Invented by the drummer and co-founder of the British rock band the Moody Blues, Graeme Edge, electronic drum sets offer versatility and volume control for beginners and experienced musicians alike.
If you've scored over a million on RockBand, or just wanted to try your hands at being the backbone of the band, electronic drum sets are a fantastic way to play and practice. Malcolm Gladwell famously said it takes 10,000 hours of practice to gain mastery of a skill, so what are you waiting for?
Advanced beginner set
It comes with a built-in metronome too, which is great for practicing those flamadiddles. Alesis
These mesh drum heads provide a more natural feel and rebound action, just like a regular drum set. Learning to play a musical instrument can be daunting. Getting started with this advanced beginner set provides not just high quality and all the features you need. The drum module also comes with 60 pre-recorded classic and 60 modern play-along songs. With an eight-inch snare pad, tri-toms, ride and crash cymbals, and a hi-hat (the two cymbals that are used by pedal and can also be used with drum sticks or brushes), this set has all the cords and cables to make it ready to rock, jazz, or bluegrass.
Performance worthy
Want to play with your favorite band? This set has the chops to do just that. Roland
This top-of-the-line electric drum set is one of the finest on the market. Not only is it performance quality, the onboard recorder lets you listen, review, and evaluate your solid rhythm and fills. It's a great way to rehearse before your next gig. It's so realistic, in fact, that the hi-hat can even be mounted on an acoustic stand. The specialized sound module is filled with coaching and features to make the most of this complete kit, which includes: a 12-inch snare drum, three eight-inch toms, a 10-inch hi-hat, two 12-inch crash cymbals, a 13-inch ride cymbal, a 10-inch kick drum, and a complete drum stand.

The only thing that's the same is they are still played with drumsticks. This set includes everything from the seven-inch snare and tri-toms to the 10-inch ride, crash, and hi-hat cymbals, two pedals, cords and cables, foldable rack, sticks, and throne. Sixty days of lessons are provided to help make the most of the record and playback features, as well as a metronome.
Mothers will approve
Adjustable volume levels allow players to make the most of the quality built-in speakers – or just put it on silent. PAXCESS
Portable and fun, this drum set is perfect for your young musician. Most electric drum sets require some setup and space, but not this set of practice pads. Instead, the snare, three toms, ride, crash, and hi-hat cymbals all roll-up. Inside or out, this rechargeable battery-powered drum set provides about 10 hours of playing time and gives kids the flexibility to take their instrument with them. There are also two foot pedals to emulate the sound of the bass drum. Your percussionist can play indoors or outdoors and take the show on the road. Eight demo songs are included, and three rhythm tracks.
