Is Ddrum trying to get back into the electronic drum arena? It seems that Ddrum has decided to stick their toe in the water to see how it feels. This is their new DD-1 Electronic Drum Kit. Why do I say they are testing the water? The DD-1 looks to be a rebranded Medeli DD505D Digital Drum Kit. There is at least one thing that makes this different from the standard Medeli DD505D Set and that’s this Ddrum edrum kit has it’s signature red color branding. It also, looks as if Ddrum might have there own branded bass pedal and hi-hat controller as well. Here’s a better view of the cymbals and drum triggers:
According to DRUM magazine (May issue 167, page 69) “The company’s working on expansion, USB in and out, and iPod hookup, but right now it’s just designed for the hookups that come with it.”
I look forward to what Ddrum may offer in the future. It seems obvious to me that this kit is a way for Ddrum to re-enter the market, build a little revenue (because entry level kits sell very well right now), and then work their way back into the pro side of the electronic drum arena.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackWell, it is just another Medeli product, but we can hope that Ddrum is having thier own sound bank installed. Pintech did that with thier EZ module and it’s not the best, but better. I hold out much hope for these, and want more competition on the mid and high end kits. Price reductions are needed and hopefully Ddrum will bring the heat eventually!
this is the Simmons SD5K, OSP DD-502, same voices etc. Check it out on YouTube.
Yes it is. That is why I stated “looks to be a rebranded Medeli DD505D Digital Drum Kit”. All the kits you stated in your comment is a rebranded Medeli. Thanks for your comment.
Is it possible to play double bass on this kit using an external double bass pedal?
double bass on this kit with double bass pedal. are you kidding. the tracking on this kit is maybe half of what you might expect from an old alesis module. this is a kids edrum set, or something for beginners that might want to get accustomed to playing drums for the first time. a definate no go for professionals, or semi-pros. ddrum in sweden are embarrassed that their name is on a plastic chinese medeli 550. go grab the simmons or pintech version if you want some variety of this cheap module.
