When performing live with acoustic drums, a lot goes into making the drums sound great on the stage. Without microphones around the kit, the drums can easily be lost in the mix of guitars, bass, keys and vocals. But even with the best mics, PA and sound engineers around, touring drummers still need additional sounds to complement and reinforce their acoustic drum sound.

Hybrid drumming combines technology with acoustic drums so you can reinforce and complement your acoustic drum sound by adding electronic sounds. More drum sounds, improved sound quality, higher production values for your performance—with hybrid... the possibilities are endless.

Craig Blundell, touring with Steven Wilson (of progressive-metallers Porcupine Tree) needs a whole range of sounds beyond his acoustic drums; sounds from the album such as drum and bass kicks and 909 snares, and sounds to help his acoustic drums really pack a punch in stadiums across the globe. Craig explains how he is using Roland Hybrid Drums, and what he’s using within his set-up.
