About ddrum
Since 1983 Clavia has brought top quality electronic drums to the market. Great sound quality, fast and accurate triggering and a superior dynamic range have made the name of ddrum to be the strongest name in electronic percussion.

The basic idea behind ddrum products is to combine superior studio sound quality and flexibility with playability and sound control. Ever since Clavia's first drum product, the Clavia Digital Percussion Plate, fast and accurate triggering, high dynamic range, and outstanding sound quality have been important and appreciated features. Still today, ddrum offers the market's fastest trig response times, the best dynamic resolution, and the best sound quality.

As a ddrum4 owner you will have access to ddrum's large and constantly growing Sound Library for an unlimited number of sounds. Connect your ddrum4 to an internet connected computer and download new samples from Clavia's web site into your ddrum4 brain - free of charge! The ddrum4 Mega Drumkits Signature Series sounds, recorded by some of the world's greatest drummers, will take the sound and feel of your ddrum4 to an even higher level. And it won't cost you anything extra!

ddrum4 SE with ddrum Triggers offers the same fast trig response and dynamics range as with the cast precision pads. Unlimited amount of sounds! This is the fact if you use ddrum4 SE. The ddrum4 SE soundlibrary holds plenty of multi-samples offering very realistic sound reproduction. And if that isn't enough for you, the ddrum4 holds the feature to download samples via MIDI sample dump from any sampler that offers that possibility. Imagine the possibility to use your own recorded sounds. This makes the ddrum concept as flexible as you want. At a touch of a button, you can switch from a 60's Bebop kit to a gated hard rock kit in a split second. That's what we call flexibility!

ddrum4 SE is a 10-channel digital drum system holding a flash memory. Besides the traditional features that comes with a ddrum set, Clavia have developed a realistic hi-hat controller, mountable on a traditional Hi-hat stand, and cymbals offering both bell/ride and a choke function. An impressive sound library comes with the system. Besides the high quality Signature Edition sounds that resides inside the unit, the user have access to another 1100+ samples on a special ddrum4 sound library CD that comes with the unit. zZounds is an authorized dealer of DDrum products.
