FAQs

What's the benefit of having an All Mesh drum pads?

All-mesh pads givs a more realistic acoustic-style reboundquieter practice, and better dynamic response than electric drum kits with rubber pads.

  • More realistic feel (closer to an acoustic drumhead)
  • Quieter stick impact (great for apartments and late-night practice)
  • Better sensitivity and dynamics (soft ghost notes to full hits)
  • Less hand fatigue compared to rubber pads
  • Better technique transfer to acoustic drums

The drum pads of the DM-210 have all-head mesh and are adjustable to suit your preferred playing feel.

What’s better — mesh or rubber drum pads?

Mesh pads are generally better for most electric drum kit players because they’re more realistic, quieter, and more responsive than rubber pads.

The DM-210 even lets you adjust the tightness of each mess pad to hone in your preferred feeling.

What does “dual-zone” mean on an electric drum pad?

Dual-zone means the pad has two separate trigger areas — usually the drum head (center) and the rim (edge) — so you can play two different sounds from the same pad.

The DM-210 comes with snare, tom, and cymbals with dual-zone.
