The sound module is a fool-proof way of incorporating simple electronic sounds into your live set

Manufacturer's description

With this in mind, Koby decided to release DRUM-MATE™ for the acoustic drummer.

What does this set up do? Well it allows the drummer over 200 sounds with 2 x Nano Pads to mount to your existing Hi-Hat stand or Cymbal stand. This set up allows the acoustic drummer to mount DRUM-MATE™ to a range of existing stands on their acoustic kit without the need to buy extra stands and clamps etc.

For live situations you have a bank of over 200 sounds to add to your existing acoustic set up. If you want percussion sounds (for pantos, shows etc) this is the real deal. You can have congas, bongos, bells, timbales, whistles, vibra slap without ever needing to buy the real thing and having the hassle of carrying and miking them etc.
