Electronic Drums
aDrums artist
Electronic drums of the highest quality inspire you to practice, play, and perform every day.
This is aDrums - realistic acoustic drum sounds and natural playing experiences in a package that is beautiful and yet simple to use.
Concept
ATV strives to reproduce the authentic and realistic sound of acoustic drums and cymbals
Then there is feeling - the tension of the rebound from the striking surface, the weighty feel of a real birchwood shell, the depth of a lacquer finish - all these elements add to the aDrums experience.
The aDrums artist embodies the same strike sensation and feeling as real acoustic drums, delivering the sense you are in complete control of the full dynamic range.
Achieving a perfect fusion with the aD5 module, these drums allow the player to articulate delicate sounds to epic slams.
An instrument born of beauty, advanced technology, and craftsmanship.
An instrument you deserve.
The aDrums artist returns to the basics of sound and feel, bringing you an instrument of purity and inspiration.

Features
Expressive Power
The size that edrums should be.
aDrums heighten the player's performance expression because of how they look and feel - each instrument's size matches the sound it produces.
The 18" kick drum, 13" snare drum, 14" hi-hat, and 18" ride cymbal give the same striking sensation, feedback, and distance as acoustic drums, yet are still compact enough for use in the home or studio.
Natural Dynamics
aDrums utilize multiple sensors for the drums and cymbals, thereby eliminating hotspots and providing a consistent and natural sensitivity for the striking surface.
This design makes it possible for the drummer to express the full dynamic range that they intend, from pianissimo to fortissimo.

Easy Cross Stick
It is easy to play to the side stick using the beautifully finished maple side rim attachment.
Using frequency-specific detection technology, the strike feel of the wood and the triggered side stick sound are perfectly matched.
Now rim shot and side stick sounds can be played separately without having to turn on a special feature in the module.

Advanced Hi-Hat
During a performance, the hi-hat is being controlled with the greatest precision to change the sound.
The aDrums Hi-Hat uses a sophisticated optical system capable of high-precision sensing with no delay even when the pedal is opened and closed rapidly.
The aD5 has been optimized for this hi-hat, delivering even greater expressive power and accuracy.

Redefining E-cymbals
The artist series reset the bar for electronic cymbals. Artist cymbals are designed to reproduce natural characteristics of acoustics cymbals, in terms of thickness, force feedback, flex, and sway.
Each cymbal is three-zone and offers 360-degree triggering, including choke. Only ATV designs a range of e-cymbals that reflects acoustic cymbals, everything from splash sizes up to a China and FX cymbal.
Anchor the Groove
As the foundation of performance, the kick drum must deliver stability and high-speed triggering.
With a unique buffer structure that both dampens and senses the beater's strike, this 18" full-shelled drum offers everything a drummer could want; a super-solid feeling, great dynamic range, and high-speed triggering for single and double-pedals.

Classic Design
In every detail, aDrums artist uses excellent materials that raise the standard of instrumental perfection.
All drums feature a real birch wood shell and a solid black lacquer finish. The cymbals and hi-hat use a simple and ageless design that eliminates extraneous frills.
Sturdy chrome-plated tripod stands make a strong statement about the way e-drums should be.
