Hello (e-)drummer,

my name is Martin, I am BecauseDrumGeek, and today I would like to inform you about the world's most creative e-drum engines (that at the same time provide a superior and/or most authentic drum sound!).

There are two types of systems: one aims to make e-drums sound and translate as close and authentic as possible to their acoustic counterparts, the other aims to provide creative and innovative enhancements to open up new creative drum playing possibilities. The first type (➜ making e-drums as “A”-suitable as possible) is featured here; for now, let's focus on the second category, namely creative & innovative engines.

Probably the most outstanding creative engine is the Four Hihats Transmute Enginethe creative factor and the fun factor is incredible ❗️

...and here are more creative engines listed:

Mute Engines for (multiple) hihats: check out the description of the BecauseDrumGeek-Mangini Hihat Engine ∙>[ 👉 LINK ]

Switch X-Hat ( / Hihat) Openness during a song by pad hit : "TIGHT" vs. "CLOSED" vs. "CLOSED LOOSE ( / SEMI OPEN)" ∙>[ 👉 LINK ]

ENJOY ❗️😊

The original post here is also the only information you (e-)drummers will get about these creative e-drum engines, because they are completely ignored by the vast majority in the e-drum scene (specialist journalists, podcasters, influencers, drummers).

You can even combine the two types of e-drum systems ( -> 1. make e-drums sound and translate as close and authentic as possible to their acoustic counterparts + 2. provide creative and innovative enhancements to open up new creative drum playing possibilities)

➜ I managed to equip the "SD3-Four Hihats Transmute Engine" with stepless Center-to-Edge-Positional Sensing and R/L-hand distinction on snare: It can't get any more awesome and attractive than this ❗️😊
