Looking for the ultimate upgrade to your kit? The DruML S1 brings ultra-low-latency digital triggering that is compatible with practically everything -- Roland, Yamaha, Alesis, and any other VST/Module capable of being triggered by an external USB or MIDI device.
Fully self-contained, every DruML device has its own high-speed signal processing engine that reads sensor data directly at the source, delivering ultra-low latency and exceptional precision over both USB and MIDI. The entire system is configured via MIDI and paired with DruML Studio — an intuitive software suite designed to give you full control without slowing you down. Configuration is stored on your drum and goes with you anywhere you bring it.
Flexible MIDI mapping lets you integrate seamlessly with your favorite modules, DAWs and VSTs, while a growing library of presets enables one-click setup for the most popular audio software.
While much of today’s AI conversation focuses on language models, a quieter shift is happening in hardware — intelligent systems that translate the nuance of physical performance into precise digital expression.
E2D is the new A2E!
Supported features:

- DMX fixture control support (Lights, confetti cannons, etc) via internal D1/A1 plug
- MIDI 2.0 support with profile discovery, UMP, and high-res velocity/position
Drum Hardware Specs
- 14 inch triple ply mesh head
- Classic wrapped shell and steel hardware
- USB-B port for USB MIDI, power, configuration, and updates
- Multi-gain Texas Instruments amplifier frontend
- MIDI DIN port (Requires external USB power)
- Capacitive touch sensor
Starting in late Sept 2026, we have dropped the TRS analog pass-through port and replaced it with a recessed bay to give better wire strain relief and flush mounting. You can still add your own TRS port via (A1 -> Center, A2 -> Rim) JST-PH connectors on the board.
Drum Software/Triggering Specs
We're not shy about the performance of our hardware. Tighter hardware / tuning will lean towards the lower end of the latency spectrum as the neural networks can make more confident earlier decisions.
- Worst-case time from initial impulse to MIDI bus: 5ms
- Typical peak-to-MIDI time: 2.8ms
- 33kHz sampling speed
- Minimum peak-to-peak flam spacing: 4.2ms 😈
- Maximum MIDI DIN speed: ~32kbps
- Maximum USB speed: 12Mbps
- Neural inference: ~120 μs
Compatibility
- Any VST/DAW capable of being triggered by MIDI
- Any instrument with a MIDI DIN input
- Works with eDRUMin in USB-host mode or in parallel
- Works with Roland TD modules (Both USB and MIDI) with full cross-stick and positional sensing support
- Yamaha keyboards (e.g. MoxF8 etc)
- iPad/iPhone to trigger GarageBand
- Pretty much everything MIDI
In the box:
- DruML S1 14” Snare
- 6' USB Cable
- The warm and fuzzy feeling of supporting a small business
