When purchasing an electric drum set, players are advised to pay extra attention to the drum module provided with each set. The drum module is the brain of the whole instrument, all the tones, recording and pre-recorded rhythms are stored in this box, meaning that its quality will be a direct reflection of the drum set as a whole. Beginners should really aim to find a module which allows them to record drum tracks and offers the kind of drum tones that are suitable for their style.
