A MIDI drum kit is not like a drum kit that you’re used to as it needs to be connected to a sound source in order to produce any sound. MIDI kits also used to be very hard and that would cause the drummers to get fatigued and hurt their arms and hands. Now the kits are much more soft and realistic just like regular drum kits. These kits also don’t make as much noise and allow you to perform drum rolls and drum drags much more easily compared to standard drum kits.
Key Takeaways:
- MIDI drum kits used to have hard surfaces that felt unnatural to the player.
- Some versions of the drum kits come with a “brain”, some require your own synth or sampler.
- Some drumming techniques like dragging and rolling, are performed more easily on MIDI kits.
“They also don’t make nearly as much noise when struck with sticks, and allow you to perform more advanced techniques like rolls and drags more easily.”
