The drum kit features a PD-14DSX digital snare drum with innovations that improve sound control, including a trigger lever and head tension adjustment. Its advanced sensor detects the slightest nuances of playing, making each strike faithful to the acoustic feel.
In addition, the KD-22 wooden-shell kick adds impressive realism, both visually and tactilely.
