Pearl Drums EM1 malletSTATION Adjustable Range Electronic Mallet Controller

A full-sized 3.0 octave adjustable range electronic mallet controller, the Pearl Drums malletSTATION™ model EM1 is designed for all players in any genre, from beginning student on up to gigging professional.

Designed in collaboration with Keith McMillen Instruments, malletSTATION’s tech-forward design features KMI’s Smart Fabric Sensor technology allowing the silicone bar material to have an extremely sensitive, natural response, including mallet dampening and aftertouch control, and all can be easily tailored to your individual playing style.

It features an adjustable low note range function that enables you to set the fundamental diatonic note of the instrument to what you need. Low D xylophone? No problem!

It's powered exclusively by Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone, and Android devices through USB Bus Power so it allows performance practically anywhere with minimal set-up and equipment.

Additionally, it's also the most affordable mallet percussion controller on the market, street priced at just $999. The ultra-thin, lightweight chassis allows for easy portability, and the flexible mounting options provide many different ways of using your instrument. This is the only controller that will grow with you throughout your playing career—from music apps on your phone or tablet, to professional digital audio workstations and sound libraries—your sounds, and even the instruments you play, are only limited by the software you run.
