The drum pads themselves are either discs or shallow drum shells made of various materials, often with a rubber/silicone or cloth-like coated playing surface. Each pad has a sensor that generates an electric signal when struck. The electric signal is transmitted through cables into an electronic drum module ("brain" as it is sometimes called) or other device, which then produces a sound associated with, and triggered by, the struck pad. The sound signal from the drum module can be plugged into a keyboard amp (for use in a band performance) or listened to with headphones for silent practice. |
My son got a set of Roland drums. The lower end ones use "v-pads" just for the snare - a more realistic head. The higher end ones use them for all the drums. Apparently it makes a big difference.
