ATV AD5 Electronic Drum Module

I talked with a couple of the guys over the last couple of weeks concerning a drum module I had and I wanted to trade it in on something a little less complicated than the one that I had. The module that I had was Superior to the one I traded for but the one I traded for was less complicated and more of a plug and play that suited me better the guys worked with me for a couple of weeks because I had to send my unit back and get it updated anyway very impressed with the guys at e-drum Center and would not hesitate to work with them again honest upstanding guys

I have an Yamaha DTX900 module that I like very much, but when I heard the sounds from the AD5 module from the ATV Sound Store, I was totally sold! It is the closest to an accoustic drum sound in the market, and is so easy do use!
It doesn´t come with lots of editings, but is exactly what I was looking for. In my DTX900 I have tons of parameters and effects that are good, but I needed one module to just sit down, choose the kit and play. The AD5 is just that, you have the instruments that you assemble in kits, set the level of each instrument, save the kit, and you are done! Next session you just select the kit and play. And if you need to change some instrument in the kit, you can clone it, and change the instrument in a second. Very easy to operate.
The settings for the trigger pads are very easy and intuitive. I was able to fine tune my DTX pads in less than 10 minutes and got very good results, including the RHH135 hihat, that worked just fine. The AD5 have preset settings for most pads manufactures from the big guys, and if you don´t find yours, there are plenty of settings to dial in your pad.
The only thing that I miss a bit is that all toms are single zone by design. The DTX900 has 3 zones for each pad, so I was used to put a cowbell or agogo in each upper rims zone of the toms.
I comes with an 8GB SD card so you can backup your settings and download instruments from the ATV Sound Store and upload in the module.
Best sounds are found in the ATV Sound Store.

Don’t be fooled by the 5 kit offerings. These kits sound amazing. And as close to acoustic drums as you can get with edrums. I upgraded my Yamaha Dtx582k kit with this module. It took about 5 minutes to setup. And I was blown away. The dynamics of the module will change the way you play edrums. You can’t whack your cymbals like you used too, the sound is deafening. I’m so glad I went with the Atv Ad5 module instead of upgrading to the Dtx900 module. I’m not that interested with endless settings nor do I have the time.
As for edrum center. The customer service is very quick to respond to any questions I had. And the shipping was unbelievable. I ordered on the weekend and had it Tuesday afternoon in Canada through customs and at my door. We definitely order again through edrum center

Best module and best service I have ever experienced! ATV aD5 is very close to the real drums feel and sound. The service is fantastic with great communication, respect and professionalism. Shipment to Sydney Australia in 6 days - unbelievable! e-Drumcenter is great one stop shopping to find you need. Huge thanks!
