8-Piece Electronic Kit
Product Overview The Forge Kit is a complete 8-piece electronic drum kit that includes everything a drummer needs to play like a pro. It features an 11” dual-zone snare and three 8” tom pads for great feel and natural response, plus a kick drum pad with pedal. Three cymbals provide a virtually unlimited range of playing expression: a ride cymbal, a crash cymbal with choke function and a responsive hi-hat. The premium chrome 4-post mounting rack keeps everything solid and secure so drummers can really play hard and the set won’t “travel” or lose its positioning. The setup also includes the powerful Advanced Drum Module that features 70 drum kits (50 factory pre-set + 20 user-customisable) with over 600 sounds, 60 play-along tracks and a built-in metronome.
