The electronic drum world has seen a high number of new kits entering the market over the last couple of years. The best electronic drum sets are capable of delivering everything from headphones-based quiet practice alongside excellent tuition tools, right up to effortless recording functionality and so much more. Then there are pro drummers who need reliability, performance and control over their sound, both live and in the studio. Many drummers want to practice drums at home, but are restricted by how much noise they can make, meaning an acoustic kit is a total no-go zone. Regardless of your needs, there’s an electronic kit to suit every type of player. At the same time, they've also never represented greater value for money. From the physical hardware – including adjustable rack systems and responsive drum and cymbal pads made of rubber or mesh – to the drum trigger technology that ensures a sound plays when you strike a pad, electronic drum sets just keep getting better.

Over the last couple of decades the best electronic drum sets (which you may also hear being called 'e-kits' or 'electric drums') have advanced ever closer to the experience of playing an acoustic drum set.
