In 2018, a group of skilled engineers who had developed and innovated the electronic drum category for the last 20 years decided to pursue a different path. A fluid approach to developing electronic drums was needed, after feeling the limits of working for a leading Japanese musical instrument manufacturer. A place where they could throw the constraints of cost and mass production out the window.
The EST-3X is a premium 6 piece Mesh head Electronic drum kit featuring TRU-ACO sampled sounds. USB and Bluetooth connectivity, Multi Zone drums and cymbals. Includes hardware KIT A+C*, Deluxe bass drum pedal, drum throne, hi hat stand and sticks.
