What is the Wizzdrum?
The Wizzdrum is a new instrument (patent pending), with the following characteristics:
⢠Acoustic on the same level as vocals and guitar, so the whole band can play acoustic with rhythmic support (whisper)
⢠Electric amplification opens up a new dimension of playing drums
⢠Amplification is simple with 2 microphones by compact placing
⢠By adding sound effects (reverb, delay en others) a new sound arises (compare the revolution in music by the electric guitar)
⢠Operation of the sound effects with the free feet
⢠Looping while you play
⢠The Wizzdrum is suitable for each sound level, so also for (very) large venues
⢠Wizzdrum has therefore the advantages of a conventional drum set and the advantages of an electronic drum set and therefor more to offer than both alternatives
Other advantages:
⢠Playing at home without disturbing the neighbors or hearing damage; acoustic or electric with headphone. No special rehearsal room necessary.
⢠Compact and complete:
- Requires very little space on stage or at home
- Active position in the band (performing standing up)
⢠New playing techniques:
- Playing the bass drum with both hands
- Great speed because of the compact - short range - drum kit components
⢠It all fits in one bag of about 50 x 40 x 40 cm (transportable by bike)
⢠Built up and break down time is very short (around 7 minutes)
⢠The Wizzdrum can easily be moved (plug and play)
Rehearsals, gigs and travelling will be a lot easier with the Wizzdrum
⢠Because of its compactness the price level is low compared to conventional drum kits especially considering the included amplification of the standard kit
