MarkDrum YES1

The YES1 from Markdrum is a 5-piece kit utilising Markdrums’s “Smart Pad” triggering technology system. Piezo sensors are used across the kit and all signals are processed inside the pads. Sound balance between the toms and snare is achieved with the use of Markdrum’s “Hot Spot Removal” technology, and “Snare Positional sensing” are designed to reproduce the nuances of an acoustic snare.

The YES1 features 10 inch Markdrum Mesh heads fitted on the snare and toms, mounted on the foldable aluminum rack which also houses the cabling system. A moveable stand-mountable hi-hat cymbal pad crash and ride along with the rubber kick drum trigger pad are designed to complete the trigger inputs. All inputs are run through the YES1 “YES” sound module, with a single RJ11 connection.

The YES sound module features 12 drum kits and DSP effects. Connections to the YES module includes eight standard inputs plus four additional inputs, Midi in/out, USB, headphones and AUX in. You can create and customise your own kits and setups combined with the customisable onboard effects editing capabilities.
