Description

The Pearl e/Merge Hybrid Plus takes electronic drumming to a level where the distinction between acoustic and electronic kits becomes increasingly blurred. Designed by a true drum manufacturer, the e/Merge responds naturally to every nuance of your playing, from subtle ghost notes to powerful accents. The MDL1 module delivers a deep library of natural Pearl drum sounds that feel alive, dynamic and musical in any environment.

With full-size pads and expressive cymbals throughout, the Hybrid Plus configuration offers maximum creative freedom and stage-ready performance. The 14″ snare, 10″, 12″ and 14″ toms, 18″ x 12″ bass drum pad and PUREtouch cymbals respond with exceptional realism. Featuring an 18″ three-zone ride, two 15″ two-zone crash cymbals and 14″ two-zone hi-hats, all mounted on Pearl’s chrome-plated Icon e/Rack, this kit is ideal for professional practice, studio recording and live performance.
