What is an "electronic drum"?
An electronic drum is a type of drum kit that uses electronic sensors and digital technology to produce sound. Instead of traditional drumheads and shells, it features pads or triggers that detect strikes and send signals to a sound module or computer. The sound module generates a wide range of drum and percussion sounds, which can be customized and varied. Electronic drums are popular for their versatility, quiet operation, and ability to offer a broad palette of sounds, making them suitable for practice, live performance, and studio recording.
