Helmer Innovation are excited to announce the Future Drumkit initative with the latest innovative music technology DRUMCOBRAâ„¢


The 21st Century is a convergence of digital and analogue, DRUMCOBRAâ„¢ makes it easy to mix and switch between acoustic and digital drumming.


The DRUMCOBRAâ„¢ technology's unique approach to detecting the vibration of a drumhead has superior signal quality, robustness and practical utility for various strength hits, from very soft ghost piano to full force forte, across drum types and sizes incuding excellent separation of head and rim events. From snares, to tom-toms, and even large bass drums (perhaps the most difficult of all!), all excel with DRUMCOBRAâ„¢ technology.



The DRUMCOBRAâ„¢ signal is compatible with a wide range of market leading drum modules, trigger to MIDI interfaces, and triggering and virtual instrument software.
