Find the Right Electronic Drum Set for Your Playing Style


Looking to spice up your practice hours and punch up your performances? Sweetwater has an exciting lineup of electronic drum sets waiting to breathe life into your rhythm routine. From facilitating silent jams after dark to overhauling your sound for the stage and studio, an electronic kit gives you the tools to do it all.


New to the eDrum scene? Sweetwater’s guide to choosing the best electronic drum set is a great place to start your journey.


Why an Electronic Kit Could Be Your Groove Game Changer


Electronic drum kits aren’t just quiet and portable. They’re also packed with features that no working drummer can live without. Here’s what those tools mean for you behind the kit:


Train smarter with eDrum practice tools


Many modern electronic drum kits include onboard training tools, such as backing tracks and a metronome, to transform your practice hours from a grind into the highlight of your week.


Cover any genre with digital drum versatility


Pack an electronic kit into the gig, and you’ve got hundreds of essential drum kit sounds — heavy metal clicks and hip-hop 808s — right at your fingertips, all in an easy-to-amplify format.


Expand your eKit with MIDI control


That’s not all. Connect your supported electronic drum kit to a laptop via USB or 5-pin MIDI, and you’ve got access to endless libraries of world-class drum sounds from the industry’s leading drum software makers.

Command your mix with low-volume electronic kits


Electronic drum sets are also a key ingredient in creating a silent stage. From jazz clubs to worship venues, live sound engineers praise hybrid and fully electronic kits for their ability to shave decibels off the stage or worship platform.


Are electric drums the same as electronic drums?


Technically, yes, although you’ll find that many drummers prefer the term "electronic drums" to "electric drums." Why? In a world of electric guitars and electric organs, you could say it’s just our way of marching to the beat of a different drum.


What’s the lifespan of an electric (electronic) drum set?


We get it. Tech evolves fast, and what’s shiny and new today can feel like old news overnight. But here’s the great thing about modern electronic drum kits: thanks to MIDI control of VSTs, firmware updates with new factory kits, and the power to load your own samples, modern e-kits can stay relevant for years to come. Think of them less like your semi-annual smartphone upgrade and more like your faithful washing machine that keeps spinning as fashions come and go.


Do professional drummers use electronic drums?


Electronic drums have become a staple among many touring pros. Here’s a smattering of the drummers who rely on pads, triggers, and electronics to augment their live shows and practice routines:


  • Travis Barker
  • Thomas Lang
  • Questlove
  • Rick Allen
  • Danny Carey
  • Craig Blundell
  • KJ Sawka
  • George Daniel
