Share
The world of custom electronic drums is growing fast. More and more drummers are moving beyond pre-built kits to create their own personalized setups — combining acoustic shells, electronic triggers, mesh heads, and multi-zone cymbals. Whether you're upgrading an acoustic kit or building a full eDrum rig from scratch, customizing your electronic drums gives you full control over feel, layout, and sound
Why Build a Custom eDrum Setup?
– Use your favorite acoustic shells with electronic triggers
– Choose your preferred mesh heads for response and quiet play
– Combine different cymbal types, sizes, and zones
– Configure your own layout with real hardware and stands
– Maximize compatibility with any drum module or DAW
Custom setups are ideal for drummers who want professional results, unique visual style, and total freedom to expand or upgrade
Step 1 – Add Triggers to Your Drums
Start by turning your acoustic drums into responsive electronic instruments using high-quality internal or external drum triggers
– Easy to install on snare, toms or kick
– Capture dynamics and positional response
– Works with all major modules (Roland, 2Box, Alesis, Pearl)
– Perfect for hybrid acoustic/electronic setups
Our drum triggers are designed to deliver accurate signal transmission and plug-and-play performance
Step 2 – Choose Your Mesh Heads
Replace your acoustic drum heads with mesh heads for silent rebound and high trigger accuracy
– Available in multiple sizes: 8" to 22"
– Single-ply and double-ply options
– Fits all standard drum hoops
– Reduces stick noise and vibration

Mesh heads are essential when converting acoustic drums to custom eDrums. They preserve your playing style while enabling silent practice and smooth triggering
Step 3 – Select Your Electronic Cymbals
No custom eDrum kit is complete without expressive, reliable cymbals
– Dual-zone and triple-zone cymbals
– Crash, ride, splash and FX cymbals available
– 360° choke support on most models
