The latest technology, built to last
Developed by the design team behind the WaveDrum and Pearl e/MERGE, highly regarded by professional players for its feel and performance, the MPS-10 offers the ultimate drum pad experience with a unique pad design that sets it apart from the rest.
In search of a combination of durability and performance, a high-quality rubber material has been perfected through multiple prototypes and under the supervision of the most demanding professional players. We sought to achieve the right balance between hardness, sensitivity and dynamics to allow drummers and percussionists to express themselves naturally.
The pad layout is designed to ensure correct set-up and proper hitting positions when integrated into a drum kit, resulting in comfortable playing and superior hit detection. And while retaining the standard pad size, it can accommodate 10 pads in a compact case.
Although it looks stylish, it's designed to withstand the rigours of the road and has passed rigorous testing, making it a professional-quality piece of equipment without compromising on robustness.
