Product Description

Place on any drum, the GENERATION X DRUMBALS are perfect for imitating white noise, hand claps, and other electronic effects. Drumbals transform your acoustic drumset into an acoustic drum machine.

How’s the DRUMBAL used?

By placing the Drumbal on the snare drum, you can:
a) Hit the Drumbal with the stick, creating a clap similar to a drum machine.
b) Hit the snare drum head creating an electronic snare sound.
c) Use the snare head for ghost notes and the Drumbal for accents

By holding the handle of the Drumbal you can:
a) Lift the Drumbal off the snare drum/tom tom and slam it down creating trashy accents.
b) Left the Drumbal off and place it on the head while hitting the snare drum (snares off)/tom tom with the stick to change the pitch similar to a talking drum
