โIf youโre simply wondering whether the S1 is a good snare, the short answer is yes.โ
โDruMLโs S1 isnโt just another premium electronic snare.โ
โBy moving trigger processing out of the module and into the instrument itself, it challenges one of the longest-standing assumptions in electronic percussion.โ
Read the full review โOne strike. Sound, expression, light and control.
Every hit is classified onboard, then routed wherever you need it. All configured in DruML Studio.
01 / Sound
Any engine you own
Class-compliant USB and 5-pin DIN MIDI into Roland, Alesis, Superior Drummer 3 or any DAW.
02 / Expression
Positional sensing, everywhere
Continuous across the whole head, distance and angle. Rimshot depth, cross-stick and left/right hands, without buying into one brand's module.
03 / Light
Drive DMX stage fixtures
Send hits straight to stage lighting through aux expansion. Strobes on the backbeat, blinders on the fill. Confetti cannon on the rimshot is between you and your venue.
04 / Control
Touch, gestures, switches
Capacitive touch and hand gestures map to MIDI notes. Add switches and knobs through the aux inputs.
Industry-leading compatibility
Works with pretty much everything
Positional playing used to mean buying the whole brand, since most positional snares only speak to one maker's flagship module. DruML does the sensing inside the drum, then hands your sound engine plain MIDI notes and CC. Change modules, switch VSTs, move to a laptop. The drum comes with you.
USBClass-compliant, driver-free. Powers the drum.
DIN5-pin MIDI out for any MIDI-capable instrument
โฆand pretty much everything else that speaks MIDI.

Tom isn't a glorified chatbot.
He configures everything on your drum for you, pulls from a huge preset library covering nearly every module and VST, and builds custom MIDI automations from a single instruction.
โFire the blinders on every rimshot, and switch to 4-zone mapping while I'm palm-muting.โ

Position across the whole head, distance and angle
Dual-gain
Massive amp front end and 16,384 velocity steps for extreme dynamic range
Zero drivers

Inside DruML Studio ยท configure the real drum
It starts with your touch.
24 different zones
Explore the surface. Play the center, move toward the edge, or cross from left to right. Then make it yours in DruML Studio: split the head into slices, adjust the rings and give rimshots and cross-stick their own sounds.
Multi-device
Run as many DruML drums as you want, from one app.
Every device is individually addressable, so Studio can configure each one live, even when they're consolidated behind another MIDI host.
