Achieving a consistent acoustic drum sound from gig to gig is important. Many things can affect the sound; the heads, tuning, the mics, PA, even the venue. Reinforcing the acoustic drum sound with electronic samples can help it cut through the mix and boost the sonic frequencies and provide all the additional sounds that are needed for the music and right kit sound, every time.
Electronic instruments weren’t around the in the ‘60s and ‘70s, so why are they needed today? Ask Iggy Pop’s drummer Matt Hector—he’s playing legendary rock from the golden era using a modern-day hybrid kit to stay as faithful as possible to the original recordings. Roland was granted access at one of Iggy’s festival appearances to talk with Mat and take a close look behind his Roland Hybrid Drums setup.
Hybrid drumming combines technology with acoustic drums so you can reinforce and complement your acoustic drum sound by adding electronic sounds. More drum sounds, improved sound quality, higher production values for your performance—with hybrid drums, the possibilities are endless.
