Nux DM-8 Mesh Head Digital Drum Kit

Nux DM-8 Mesh Head Digital Drum Kit is a professional-grade electronic drum set engineered to deliver an authentic playing experience, advanced features, and studio-ready connectivity.1 Positioned as a high-value flagship kit, the DM-8 is designed for drummers who require the feel and response of an acoustic kit for practice, recording, and live performance.

Key Features and Realistic Playability

The DM-8 focuses on larger, more realistic components and advanced triggering technology to bridge the gap between acoustic and electronic drumming:

• REMO Mesh Heads for Authentic Feel: The kit is fully equipped with world-renowned REMO mesh heads on all drum pads. These provide a superior, low-noise playing surface with realistic rebound and adjustable tension, closely mimicking the feel of acoustic drum heads.

• True Snare and Hi-Hat Setup:

  • 12" Triple-Zone Snare: A large, independent snare pad that offers a Triple-Zone response (head, rim, and shell/cross-stick). It comes on a dedicated, stable snare stand, allowing for realistic positioning and setup.

  • Expressive Hi-Hat on Stand: Features a 12" hi-hat pad mounted on a physical hi-hat stand (not a controller pedal). This setup uses a motion sensor to accurately capture Open, Closed, Half-Open, and foot-splash articulations, offering highly realistic feel and response.

• Large Cymbals with 360° Playability: The kit includes two 12" Crash cymbals and a 14" Ride cymbal, all with 360° playability (meaning you can strike anywhere around the edge, not just in a limited zone) and choke functionality for authentic cymbal swells and stops.

• Double-Pedal Compatible Kick: The 10" independent kick drum pad is built with a sturdy design to handle double bass pedals, offering stability and a robust feel. It includes a high-quality, double-chain kick pedal.

DM-8 Sound Module and Studio Integration

The module is the brain of the DM-8, offering powerful customization and connectivity options:

• Group Faders: A unique and intuitive feature with physical faders on the module that allow for real-time volume mixing of each individual pad (snare, kick, toms, etc.), enabling drummers to create custom mixes quickly and easily.

• WAV Sample Import: Allows drummers to import their own sounds via a USB flash drive, enabling virtually unlimited sound customization and kit creation.

• Professional USB Audio I/O: The module functions as a versatile audio interface, capable of sending up to 14 separate audio tracks over USB to a computer's Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) for professional, multi-track recording.

• Sound Customization: Includes 30 high-fidelity drum kits and powerful sound editing features, allowing users to apply effects (EQ, Compression, Overdrive, Reverb) to individual pads or the master output.

• Practice & Connectivity: Features built-in Metronome, Coach mode, internal songs to jam along with, and Bluetooth connectivity for playing along to external audio.
