Electronic drum sets are drum kits that use electronic drum pads and cymbals instead of acoustic drums. They often produce sound through built-in speakers or can be connected to an amplifier or PA system. Electronic drum sets provide a quieter alternative to traditional acoustic drums, and offer a range of customization options including different drum and cymbal sounds, and the ability to control volume and mute individual drums. They are commonly used in musical genres such as rock, hip-hop, and electronic dance music, and can be a good option for practice and recording.
