This week we have something from each electronic drum food group for you to save some serious cash on. Let’s dive in and give you the lowdown and these superb deals.

Gewa G3 Pro 5 e-Drum Kit

There’s a growing trend for full-size e-Drum kits and Gewa is making a serious mark at the upper end of that market. The G3 Pro 5 is a superb entry into their world with a gorgeous-looking kit. It sounds great too, with over 900 sounds, 40 preset kits and space for creating 128 more kits of your own. Each instrument can contain up to 100 multi-samples!

Being of German origin, Gewa took pride in sampling their own sounds in Berlin’s legendary Funkhaus. Their solid drum brain also utilises 3D Sonic Imaging for a realistic surround sound. A slew of effects, compression and EQ are accompanied by a multitude of connections and a built-in, 2in/6out USB audio interface.

The kit comprises multi-zone pads and cymbals and also includes all the stands. The Gewa G3 Pro 5 is a complete package that truly impresses both visually and sonically.

Elektron Model:Cycles

The Elektron Model:Cycles is an FM-based 6 track groove box from one of the most innovative manufacturers today. Using a similar workflow to other Elektron units (think Digitakt, etc.), the Model:Cycles gives you the punch, power and digital crispness of FM.

But don’t be fooled by its digital leanings. The Model:Cycles can sound thick and warm too. Using dedicated Color, Shape and Contour features, you can mould the sounds to your tastes, whatever genre you’re working in.

The Model:Cycles can store 96 projects onboard with 96 patterns per project. Delay and reverb effects are built-in and any of its six tracks can also be used as MIDI tracks. But it isn’t just drums that the Model:Cycles can handle. You can create melodic bass lines and chords. So this is a great compositional tool and not just a drum machine!

Roland SPD-SX PRO Sampling Pad

The Roland SPD pad family has been around for nigh on 40 years. It’s an accepted standard for most live drummers, adding huge range and variety to the sounds they can play. The SPD-SX Pro has built-in sampling which means you can upload almost anything you want.

There are six full-size pads and three edge pads, all of which feature RGB lighting for ease of use in the dark and easy identification of zones. You can even attach a separate hi-hat controller pedal or an expression pedal for even greater control.

The SPD-SX Pro comes with over 1550 samples and sounds, 43 preset kits (which are erasable) and space for 157 user kits. That’s 200 kits in total! It has 32GB of internal storage for your own samples, backing tracks and click tracks.

Navigating the SPD-SX Pro is easy, using its 4.3″ colour display. There’s also an app for Windows and Mac for importing your samples and managing your kits.
