Summary/Abstract: Along with the synthesizers (digital pianos) frequently used to create studiomusic, the electronic drum was another revolutionary instrument. Even though its purpose isto imitate an acoustic drum, there are significant differences. The electronic drumparticulars are its small size; the metallic frame which supports the stands to which theelements of the drum are attached; the material these are made of – silicon or rubber –which renders the sound extremely silentious. The genuine sound of the instrument can onlybe rendered by adequate monitoring (headphones or monitors) and it requires a MIDI orUSB connection to its module2.
