KAT Percussion Electronic Drums

With an accomplished drummer who is also an inventor at the helm of KAT Percussion, it's no wonder that the company has developed so many exciting technologies that allow artists to be more creative than ever. Founder Mario J DeCiutiss draws from his vast musical experience to come up with electronic instruments and accessories that sound like the real thing.

Since the invention of the malletKAT in 1985, KAT Percussion has been supplying musicians with innovative e-drums and has developed many revolutionary products, including the drumKAT and the trapKat. As a musician himself, Mario J DeCiutiis, has always aimed to make percussion products that feel and respond like the acoustic versions. In an interview with Digital Drummer magazine, DeCiutiis says that he believes that staying in touch with his playing roots helps him "make better products because I really know what's needed."

Whether you are looking for a digital drum set, digital amplifier, multipad drum, or a trigger pad, KAT has many high quality offerings to help you perfect your sound. The Percussion Deluxe Electronic 5-Piece Drum Kit offers a broad set of features and comes with over 500 studio-grade sounds so you feel like you have 45 drum sets at your fingertips. Terrific for practice, this e-kit even has play-along tracks, recording ability, and stands up to hard hitters. These e-drums create great sound and are best for small to medium venues. If you're a drummer or a DJ looking to expand your gear, the Percussion Electronic Drum and Percussion Pad Sound Module is compact and can be played with hands or sticks. Featuring fifty high-quality drum sounds that can be fine-tuned and assigned to one of the four pads, this is also a good tool to have in the studio for recording tracks. The Hi-Hat Controller Pedal Level 1 is designed to work with the KTMP1 Multipad and creates an authentic feel when you play. Featuring variable open/close control, adjustable closure point, and velocity sensing foot chick and splash, here's a durable controller pedal that is designed with an extra-large aluminium footboard and a Velcro base to prevent your foot from slipping during performances.

As KAT focuses on building reliable high-end products that accurately capture the sound and feel of acoustic instruments, exciting developments in electronic percussion will continue. Thanks to this approach, DeCiutiis' fellow musicians can depend on roadworthy and intuitive gear that they will enjoy playing for years.
