With 15 drums sets and 123 sounds to choose from, every time you sit down at your XD8USB - your creativity will instantly be unleashed! Ready to Rock Right Out-of-the Box We know how much you love to play, so we designed the XD8USB drum kit for fast and easy, tool-free setup. Just pull the kit out of the box, position the drum and cymbal pads the way you like 'em and plug in; it's just that simple. The XD8USB also comes pre-loaded with music tracks in a variety of styles, so you can sharpen your skills, or if you're just getting started - learn to play to real music. There's even an Aux Input, so you can play along with your favorite songs and practice tracks. And when you're fi nished playing, just fold up the kit and stash it behind the couch or underneath the bed. Now your signifi cant other will still respect you in the morning! True-to-Life Feel The way drums "feel" is one of the most important factors, especially for drummers who use electronic drums for practice and then return to an acoustic kit for live performance. So we gave our pads a natural rubber surface, which mimics the feel of real skins and minimizes false triggering. The XD8USB features a sturdy, extruded aluminum frame, which provides a solid foundation for the drum and cymbal pads. You'll really appreciate this added stability when you're rockin' out full-tilt. USB Audio Interface One of the XD8USB's coolest features is the built-in USB audio interface, which allows you to connect directly to your computer. This incredible functionality lets you tap into your virtual instruments, drum software and DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) recording software (not included). Such fl exibility opens tremendous opportunities for fi le sharing with your band mates - especially when you need to collaborate on songwriting and recording projects. Sound Quality Easy setup and feel are important, but how does the XD8USB sound? Thanks to our HDS (High Definition Sampling) technology you get top-notch studio drum, percussion and cymbal sounds, all of which are velocity sensitive for your most-nuanced performance. The factory-preset kits and sounds are programmed to give you an amazing range of professional-grade sounds for the ultimate versatility - plus you can program and store your own kits for instant recall. The Brain Behind the Sound Years of engineering went into the design of the XD8USB's incredible HDS110USB sound module. Once the sounds were created and tweaked, we turned our attention to making the sound module's user interface extremely flexible, functional, and most importantly - easy to use. All controls are laid out in a very logical format, and stepping through setup parameters is highly intuitive, so you can spend less time reading a manual - and more time playing! Performance and Value The XD8USB is a great-sounding electronic drum kit designed by drummers - for drummers! Featuring rock-solid construction, studio-grade drum, percussion and cymbal sounds, plus loads of professional features that will enhance your drumming experience - and take you performance to the next level, the highly-affordable XD8USB plays and sounds like a million bucks!
