Electronic Drum Kit with Mesh Heads - Ideal Starter Set

The Carlsbro CSD500 Electronic Drum Kit with Mesh Heads is designed for everyone - from beginners looking for their first drum set, to experienced players needing a quiet, versatile practice kit. Including eight responsive pieces, it delivers an authentic playing experience within a compact electronic design perfect for home, studio or even small gigs. 

Detailed Features & Benefits explained

Realistic Mesh Heads & Adjustable Tension
Each drum pad has mesh heads that closely mimic the response and feel of traditional acoustic drums. Thanks to easily adjustable tension, drummers can customise the response of each pad, offering excellent playability and providing enhanced comfort and expressive range, especially useful for prolonged sessions. Compared to rubber pads found on other beginner electric drums, mesh heads offer quieter operation too, ideal for home environments.

Extensive Sound Module capability
The included Commander 500 sound module features a substantial library comprising 358 high-quality percussion voices. With 29 pre-loaded and 12 user-created kits, customisation is quick and intuitive, letting drummers tailor the kit to their musical tastes and preferred playing styles without complex setup. Its built-in metronome and recording facilities provide necessary practice tools, significantly improving user convenience and adaptability.

USB MIDI Connectivity
Featuring a straightforward USB-MIDI connection, this electronic drum kit easily integrates into recording studios or home setups with Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software. Ideal for use in production, recording sessions, and even for controlling virtual drum instruments, this connectivity expands creativity and productivity without expensive additional gear.

Dual-zone Cymbals & Advanced Features
With dual-zone crash and ride cymbal pads featuring choke, players can perform intricate sequences, achieving greater musical expression and realistic texture. Additionally, the hi-hat controller supports splash techniques, providing further realism. These elements typically aren't found as standard on beginner electric drums, giving the CSD500 a significant edge among similarly-priced alternatives.

Interactive Guided Lessons Included
Every Carlsbro CSD500 purchase includes 50 free interactive online drum lessons from Melodics, allowing drummers of all skill levels structured, accessible practice opportunities from home. This bonus provides an appealing introduction for beginners and helps experienced drummers further refine their skills.

Beginners looking for their first kit
