The electronic drum kit was an exciting adaptation from the conventional band instrument, and the Y-Drum is yet another upgrade to the innovative piece of hi-tech equipment. Kevin Depape's concept is a portable percussion set that can be established virtually anywhere.
A hard case with a handle houses the speaker, several controls and an audio jack. Open it up and you'll find that it also stores a charger, a pair of cordless headphones, a receiver tray and seven flexible pads that function as heads. Every component is so shallow and compact that you can establish your ideal setup on your own computer desk. The bluetooth-integrated sound system allows your hands and your sticks to beat away without stirring up tangled wires. You can customize the sounds of the Y-Drum with Roland applications on your computer, tablet and smartphone.
