USB Drum Kit

Drum roll please!

One, two, three, four!

To the purist, drums and electronics go together like liver and custard. But we're not purists. And we quite like liver and custard. Besides, the days when the only sounds electronic drumkits could muster were pathetic, disco-ey 'poos' and EastEnders-style 'dums' are definitely over.

Unfortunately most of today's electronic drumkits cost a small fortune. Not so the USB Drum Kit. Coming in at less than the price of a decent cymbal, this ingenious set up plugs directly into your nearest USB port and plays through your computer's soundcard and speakers. Clever, eh!

Hear the drummer get wicked

Whether you're a total novice or a seasoned skinbasher, the USB Drum Kit is an ideal practice kit as it can be played through headphones for virtually silent practice. The only noise housemates will hear is the tippity-tap of sticks on the kit's rubber trigger pads.

And what about all those thwacktastic drum and cymbal sounds? Well, the USB Drum Kit's 'brain' contains 233 realistic drum sounds and 50 preset rhythm patters, so you can have a bombastic rock kit one minute and a crisp funk kit the next. You can even compose complete arrangements and create and save your own customised patterns and songs.

Software included

Easily mounted on a compact rack system, the USB Drum Kit's six playing pads are velocity-sensitive so you can create Dave Grohl-levels of percussive pandemonium or give it a little less wallop, Charlie Watts-styley. The pads can also be 'choked', which, for all you non-drummers out there, means they can be caught with one hand in order to instantly kill any sustain. (Think opening bars of Eye of the Tiger).

Two equally responsive pedals take care of all your bass drum/hi-hat action and we'll even throw in a full tutorial system/CD video to get all you wannabe Keith Moons on the road to superstardom. For those about to rock, we salute you!

Connects to your PC via USB

Electrostar Glo-Drumstix

Flash, bang, wallop!

Calling all drummers! Now you can make a spectacle of yourself in dark venues without resorting to majorette-style twirls and imbecilic gurning via these ingenious lightsaber-like drum sticks. Featuring nifty built-in batteries, each pro-grade stick lights up every time it hits a drum, cymbal or bass player's head. Choose from
UV Blue or UV Red.

Press reviews

"Elecctronic drum kits generally set you back as much as a family car, but this great little package bucks that trend... Despite the low price, this still offers many of the features of much more expensive kit with velocity sensitive pads and pedals for bass and high hat control."
Flipside

"...they allow you to play at being Keith Moon without attracting an Asbo."
The Independent

"...And not just a little drum kit that you play with your fingers or two pens either. Nope, this is a near full-sized kit with six velocity-sensitive playing pads and two bass drum/hi-hat pedals."

What you said...

Not a review but a question. If you break a pad or a pedal is there anywhere you can get spare parts from? Love the kit. Thanks.
Firebox says: Hi Chris, we do not carry spares but you can always try uksupport@numark.com
Chris, Lincoln - Mar '08

It's a great device! I'm improving my drummer aptitudes and no problem with the delivery. Thank you firebox!
David, Gijon. Spain - Nov '07

Just received delivery of the USB Drum Kit. Simple to set up and a truly brilliant sound. Probably the best £130 quid I've ever spent!
Andy, Aberdeen - Aug '07

Problems with my old 'proper drum kit. . 1. It's too big for my room... 2. It's too loud (for the neighbours)... 3. I have problems getting the right sound... But with this drum kit all those problems are solved, GREAT!!
Jason Rodgers, London - Jun '07

Perfecto conjunto de bateria electronica llego sin problemas es barata y suena bien, es facil de montar y parece consistente perfecta para principiantes aunque se le puede sacar bastante jugo, muchos parches dos pedales software incluido vamos una ganga, espero subir alguna foto o video rapido, gracias firebox vuestro compromiso queda fuera de dudas.
Firebox says: www.freetranslation.com ...basically this is a great product!
CALIMOCHO, SPAIN - Feb '07

Can you set both kick pedals to the bass drum for some double kick action?
Firebox says: Yes, on the back of the trigger module you have inputs 1-10. To switch to double base you need to connect both pads to input 8 & 9.
Russell Hunter, Stirling - Apr '07

Great value for money! Its good fun and great for practicing those basics - it doesn't have the functionalities of the Yamaha and Roland kits, but I wouldn't expect it too at £130. But for £130 it's superb!
Tim Jenkins, Milton Keynes - Mar '07

I have not bought the USB Drum Kit (yet), but I was wondering if you can add the extra pads which are avalible on drumxtreme.Com? It seems to be using the same kit and programmes as the kit on your website. If so, it would be great because I can then create a larger kit. Thanks alot Firebox! Your website is great!
Firebox says: Dale, unfortunately, all the sockets are used up by the pads included with the kit. Therefore, you cannot add any extra pads. Sorry about that :(
Dale, Birmingham - Feb '07

I would like to thank you for my new ION USB drum kit. . To say I am pleased is an understatement! I haven't played drums in 10 years due to lack of space or noise levels! I have never stopped practice with my sticks and snare drum pad. Recently I have been thinking about buying electronic drums i.e from Yamaha or Roland.... you can image what they cost! Thank God I found Firebox.com! Your USB drum kit does everything I want! They have a great sound and feel... it's like I'm at my old Yamaha 9000 drum kit... without upsetting anyone!!
Laurence, Dublin - May '08

Hi I am thinking of buying this drum kit, just wondering if when you play the drums does the kit have to be plugged into a pc or can u just plug the drum kit into speakers and play thru them?
Firebox says: This bad boy drum kit does indeed need to be connected to a computer to enjoy the full delights!
