Percussion

The Percussion category here includes all of the electronic instruments and modules designed to create rhythmic and percussive drum beats & sounds rather than melodic or harmonic tones. This includes drum machines, percussion synth voices, sample-based units, trigger pads, and modular percussion modules used to build beats, grooves, and rhythmic textures.

Percussion gear is central to electronic and modern music production, providing everything from classic drum sounds to experimental rhythms and textures. These instruments are commonly used in studio and live setups alongside synths, samplers, and sequencers, forming the rhythmic backbone of electronic, techno, hip-hop, ambient, and experimental music.

Drum

Drum covers electronic drum machines and rhythm instruments used to create beats, patterns, and percussive sequences. These instruments allow sounds to be programmed, synthesised, sampled, and triggered in real time, often with step sequencers, performance pads, and hands-on controls. They are central to electronic music production and live performance, providing tight timing, repeatable grooves, and creative control over rhythm, dynamics, and texture.

MIDI

MIDI is a digital control standard used to transmit performance and control data between electronic instruments, computers, and hardware devices. It carries information such as note data, velocity, timing, and parameter changes rather than audio, allowing instruments and software to communicate, stay in sync, and control each other. MIDI is fundamental to modern music production, sequencing, and live performance setups.
