100% Birch Shells with Internal Triggers

Layering live drums with samples is more popular now than ever - both onstage and in the studio. And ddrum has responded in a way that only a creator of world-class drums and triggers could. The ddrum Hybrid 5 is a fully acoustic kit made from 100% birch shells with a crisp and modern tone that really cuts through a mix. Each drum in this shell pack is pre-fitted with ddrum's Acoustic Pro drum triggers with integrated XLR outputs. This makes it convenient to blend or completely replace drum sounds with samples from a workstation or drum module.

ddrum Hybrid 5 Acoustic Drum Kit with Internal Triggers at a Glance:
  • Combines ddrum's triggering and acoustic drum expertise
  • 100% birch shells deliver a crisp, cutting tone
  • ddrum Acoustic Pro triggers are at the top of their class
Combines ddrum's triggering and acoustic drum expertise

ddrum has been a leader in drum triggering since 1983. And in 2005, it changed the acoustic drum market again by offering boutique-style shell packs and hardware options to drummers of all levels. The ddrum Hybrid 5 is the natural marriage of these two ideas. Not only is the ddrum Hybrid 5 a pro acoustic kit, but it features top-class triggering to capture the real feel of your every performance.

100% birch shells deliver a crisp, cutting tone

The ddrum Hybrid 5 boasts modern shell sizes with a smart satin finish. We at Sweetwater especially liked the red hardware and badges - a nod to ddrum's trademark drum modules and triggers. The toms, kick, and snare in this shell pack are all made from 100% birch plies (6, 8, and 6, respectively). This gives the ddrum Hybrid 5 a cutting attack, a slightly scooped midrange, and dry overtones. The bass drum is full and responsive. And the snare and toms have a lively quality and quick decay that make them ideal for close-miking.

ddrum Acoustic Pro triggers are at the top of their class

Artists from Butch Vig to Ginger Fish rely on ddrum's elite triggering to capture the feel and energy of their drum performances. The ddrum Acoustic Pro triggers mounted inside each shell in the ddrum Hybrid 5 shell pack exhibit a realistic dynamic response and good resistance to false triggering. This technology is far superior to triggering drums with microphones - one that makes it onvenient to blend sounds from a drum module or laptop for demanding live and studio applications.

ddrum Hybrid 5 Acoustic Drum Kit with Internal Triggers Features:
  • Modern acoustic drum shell pack
  • Smart satin finish with bold red hardware
  • 5-piece kit made from 100% birch plies
  • Crisp, quick, dry tone is ideal for close-miking
  • Internal ddrum Acoustic Pro single-zone triggers allow for convenient drum layering and sample replacement
  • XLR outputs feed a balanced signal into your drum module or computer interface
  • Drum hardware and electronic drum module not included

Great Kit!!

Overall a great hybrid kit. Kick drum trigger was not working when I got it but the tech at Sweetwater got in touch with ddrum and they sent me a replacement right away. I have this kit connected to my 8-channel Behringer 1820UMC interface and Logic Pro using Steven Slate Trigger2, sounds incredible!!

Apartment drummer. This is perfect!

So I have been living in a shared wall condo thing for over a year and really missed playing. Looking into kits I found this beauty. I use Remo SilentStroke heads and Zildjian L80 cymbals and I couldn't be any happier! On top of the matte black look, it sounds equally beautiful, even with a low volume set up! Have yet to get a module and trying out the electronic side of it but I plan on it in the future. Personally, the ideal drum measurements. One thing I wish is that it came with the tom mount in the picture. It came with awesome clamp mounts that I use for other things on the kit, bought a tom stand separately. But all-in-all a great kit for how I use it!

Great drums

I love how these drums look and sound. I purchased the remo silent stroke heads to use strictly for e drums. Everything worked except for the snare trigger. I called sweetwater and they sent an external trigger same day. Couldn't be happier with the set and service. Great job!!!

Think before you buy

I would honestly have to give the triggers a 0/10 rating. Upon delivery 2 triggers were total failures and 2 other triggers were double triggering. Ddrum thankfully sent replacement triggers for free but needless to say only 1 of the replacements they sent me actually functioned properly. Ive done extensive testing between my module and other triggers and have come to the conclusion that these triggers are extremely unreliable.
