digitalDrummer will introduce a new feature at this year’s Europe Drum Show with the launch of the Innovation Showcase, part of the E-drum Labs programme.
The showcase will present three new electronic drum products making their first appearance at the Europe Drum Show.

Among the innovations being demonstrated is DrumPi, a compact electronic drum sound module developed as a standalone alternative to laptop-based VST setups. Described by its developers as delivering studio-quality sounds with ultra-low latency, DrumPi will be demonstrated by developer Paolo Simonazzi, who will explain its functionality and show it in use with a triggered acoustic shell pack.

Also appearing is a new inDrum digital drum trigger developed in Sweden by Enes Sabanovic. Designed as a home-brew solution, the trigger incorporates a number of features not currently found in commercial products.

Completing the lineup is EavesDrum, a DIY trigger-to-MIDI interface developed by German e-drum enthusiast Tobias Gunkel. The system is intended as an alternative to conventional drum modules or off-the-shelf trigger-to-MIDI interfaces, and will be demonstrated live during the session.

The Innovation Showcase is supported by drum-tec, Germany’s leading e-drum retailer and a manufacturer of custom kits.

The sessions will use a custom drum-tec kit built for Austrian drummer Kerim ‘Krimh’ Lechner, and recently featured in the Acropolis performance by Greek symphonic death metal band Septicflesh.
