The ddrum4 SE digital drum system with drum sounds from Simon Phillips, Dennis Chambers, Kenny Aronoff and Mel Gaynor

Clavia is pleased to announce the release of the updated ddrum4 sound module - the ddrum4 SE (Signature Edition). The ddrum4 SE module holds exclusive Mega Drumkits Signature Series drum sounds recorded by the famous drummers Simon Phillips, Dennis Chambers, Kenny Aronoff and Mel Gaynor in the Galaxy studio in Belgium. All Signature sounds are played by each individual drummer. The drummers use their own typical setup with drums and cymbals. It’s their tuning, their choice of drum heads etc. From each session Clavia carefully selected and processed the sounds and tailored them to fit the ddrum4 SE drum system. The ddrum4 SE sounds can also be fetched free of charge at www.clavia.se and downloaded to any ddrum4 brain.

The operating system has been upgraded to V1.5 and features the following new functions:

Specification ddrum4 SE sounds

Each individual Signature instrument in the ddrum4 SE module is built up by a vast number of samples to catch every nuance from the acoustic drum. Whether it’s a snare drum sound or tom-tom sound, each instrument will give you what you need throughout the whole dynamic range. The new Signature sounds takes the playing feel of the ddrum4 drum system to a higher level. The ddrum4 SE sounds are especially designed for drummers that appreciate a more acoustic feel from the ddrum4 drum system. Thanks to the superb dynamic range and the fast triggering response of the ddrum4 SE system, the sound of the new ddrum4 Signature drumkits is much closer to acoustic drums than ever before. But as always, try it out yourself. Check out the new ddrum4 SE at your music store and hear for yourself. You'll be surprised over how 'alive' the ddrum4 SE system sounds and feels.

The ddrum4 electronic drum system

The ddrum4 system is built around the ddrum4 SE sound module and can be controlled from ddrum4 Cast Precision Pads, ddrum4 Cast Cymbal and Cast Hi-hat pads and ddrum Triggers. The ddrum4 system offers the market's fastest trig response times and extremely natural dynamics, essential features when it comes to playability and feeling. The ddrum4 brain offers a large flash memory, to which you can download ddrum4 samples and your own MIDI SDS samples at any time.
