ROCKDALE TEMPEST MESH 1: Unlock your drumming dreams!

Many people dream of playing the drums, but as they delve deeper into the subject, they encounter a series of obstacles that may keep the dream just that – a dream.

The initial shock for many comes with the cost. In professional circles, it’s well-known that being a drummer is no budget-friendly endeavor. You need drums, cymbals, pedals, stands, drumsticks, cases, and preferably a metronome. If you want to record your play, a complete set of microphones, stands, a mixer, a recording device, or a computer will be necessary. In other words, your dream demands significant financial investments, and not everyone can afford it.
The second potential obstacle could be the lack of space to accommodate a standard acoustic drum kit. Because of its substantial size, you might face disapproval from family members and irritation from neighbors due to the noise.
Let’s assume you’ve overcome the first two obstacles: you’ve purchased the kit and all necessary accessories, set it up at home despite the discontent of relatives and neighbors. Maybe you’ve found a dedicated rehearsal space to commute to for drumming sessions. But at some point, you start thinking about playing music, not just banging out different rhythms. You need musicians to rehearse with, but there’s no time for searching because of work, those displeased relatives, and other household problems. And suppose, eventually, some performance opportunities arise, requiring you to haul this huge amount of wood and metal around. You never intended to become a professional drummer! You just wanted to have fun and unwind!

You play your instruments less and less, and you’re contemplating selling them…
It’s a rather gloomy picture, isn’t it?
But there’s a fantastic alternative – electronic drums.

Here’s a brief list of some advantages of electronic drums compared to their acoustic counterparts:

1. Comparatively low cost: Many musicians with budget constraints choose electronic drums for a full drum kit at home.
2. Low noise level: When played with headphones, electronic drums won’t disturb neighbors or family members in adjacent rooms.
3. Space-efficient: Electronic drums are not only compact but also easy to assemble and disassemble quickly.
4. Easy transportation: Transporting electronic drums requires only one box, which fits into any car, making them significantly lighter than acoustic drums.
5. Extensive sound libraries: Electronic drums offer a vast percussion orchestra; you can easily switch between drum kits at the press of a button. When connected to a computer, the sound possibilities become virtually endless.
6. Built-in features: Electronic drums often come with built-in accompaniments, a metronome, recording capabilities, and other functions to enhance creative potential at home.
7. Easier to play: Playing electronic drums requires significantly less energy compared to acoustic drums.
8. Drum modules with built-in music: Electronic drum modules come equipped with built-in musical compositions, allowing you to play along with your favorite artists without leaving home.
If you don’t intend to become a professional drummer, the choice is clear!

Today, let’s discuss the ROCKDALE Tempest Mesh 1 electronic drum kit.

ROCKDALE Tempest Mesh 1 is a full-fledged electronic drum kit with 7 striking surfaces, crafted using cutting-edge technology – ROCKDALE Mesh Head.
Mesh heads offer several advantages over rubber pads:
• Natural Stick Rebound: Similar to the rebound experienced with acoustic drum plastic surfaces (rubber pads feel closer to practice pads, while mesh heads emulate the feel of acoustic drumheads).
• Natural Dynamics: The membrane’s sensitivity to strike force ensures that the harder you hit, the louder the sound.
• Almost Silent Impact: Mesh heads provide nearly noiseless strikes, in contrast to rubber pads, which can generate considerable noise.
• Durability: Mesh heads withstand powerful strikes and, if damaged, can be easily replaced with new ones at a low cost compared to rubber pads.
Electronic drums with mesh heads represent a higher level compared to models equipped with rubber pads. This is why professional drummers often choose electronic kits featuring mesh head technology.
ROCKDALE Tempest Mesh 1 includes a 7.5-inch mesh snare drum and three 7.5-inch mesh toms. The positioning and tilt angle of these components can be adjusted according to the preferences of the drummer.

The kit comes complete with everything you need for a comfortable playing experience:
• Three 10-inch cymbals (crash, ride, and hi-hat).
• Specially designed ROCKDALE trigger pedals for the hi-hat and bass drum (completely silent compared to a full pad with a connected pedal).
• Sturdy aluminum frame with 4 stands (height-adjustable mounts with locks ensure consistent drum placement, significantly reducing setup time).
• All necessary cables, power supply, and a drum key for easy tuning.
• Everything connects to the powerful SM110 electronic module, offering hundreds of sounds, 15 different drum kit variations, and 15 pre-loaded musical compositions for collaborative creativity.
The entire kit weighs 18.5 kg, is easy to assemble, and convenient for transportation.

The electronic sound module SM110 offers a wide range of sounds, including standard kits and diverse options of exotic percussion: 227 finely tuned sounds with individual volume and sensitivity customization.
The backlit LCD screen allows for easy and quick program selection. Conveniently placed buttons for drum kit selection, tempo adjustment, song choice, recording toggles, and power control make sound configuration intuitive, requiring no additional instructions.
The SM110 module features 15 classic and modern drum kit presets. Easily customize any built-in preset or create your own using 25 additional memory slots.

Inside the SM110 module, you’ll discover invaluable additional features:
• Metronome with a range from 20 to 300 BPM to enhance your sense of timing (with 9 different metronome sound options).
• Recorder for capturing your play with playback functionality (capable of storing up to 5000 notes in real-time).
• Repeat and loop mode for practicing specific parts of a composition.
• USB port for computer connectivity.
• 3.5mm AUX jack for connecting an external audio source: phone, tablet, MP3 player.
• 6.35mm jack for connecting to a sound system, amplifier, or recording console, as well as for headphone use for “self-isolation.”
