Pearl e/Merge

The Pearl e/Merge range of drum kits represents a bold reimagining of electronic drumming, created by a company with deep roots in acoustic drum design. At the core of the series is the MDL1 sound module, which combines a large library of natural, organic drum sounds with cutting-edge technology developed in partnership with Korg. By integrating Pearl’s PUREtouch pad technology and Korg’s Wave Trigger system, e/Merge kits deliver a highly responsive, nuanced playing experience that more closely mirrors the feel and dynamic range of an acoustic kit than traditional electronic drum sets.

Beyond feel, the e/Merge range is built for versatility and creative expression. Each configuration—from entry-level to Hybrid and Hybrid Plus models—features full-size pads, multi-zone cymbals and expansion options that suit a variety of players, from beginners to seasoned professionals. With features like three-zone ride cymbals, additional crash pads, robust rack systems and deep sound editing capabilities, e/Merge kits are designed not just for practice, but for performance, recording and hybrid setups where electronic and acoustic elements blend seamlessly. Whether you’re honing skills at home, recording in the studio or performing live, the e/Merge range offers expressive power and sonic flexibility that stands out in the modern electronic drum landscape.
