The ddrum4 SE system is a 10 channel percussion system. One channel can hold one sound, e.g. channel
1 could be the kick drum, channel 2 the snare etc. The sounds are digitally reproduced with the propri-
etary ddrum sound engine. The sounds have been carefully selected and edited by the Clavia crew. All
the sounds in the ddrum4 SE have been edited and stored using a unique method. The intelligent play-
back engine eliminates machine gun effects during rolls and other unwanted artifacts that are typical in
other electronic drum systems.

The major part of the ddrum4 SE drum sounds are built up with a lot of samples (multi samples) in order
to produce a more realistic simulation of how an acoustic drum sounds when struck with different veloc-
ities. The ddrum4 SE features sounds played and recorded by the famous drummers Simon Phillips,
Dennis Chambers, Kenny Aronoff and Mel Gaynor! "Dynamics" is one of the keywords describing the
functionality of the ddrum4 SE. It is designed to make available every acoustic nuance of the drum
sounds. The dynamic sound possibilities of the ddrum4 SE are one of its major features compared to sam-
plers and ROM based playback machines.
