Welcome to the Wilh. Steinberg E-drums buyer's guide!
Whether you are a rookie drummer looking to purchase your first drum kit to practice at home, or a seasoned professional looking to add another kit to record in studio, we will show you the essential features of our WST drums while you navigate through the endless drum models at various online marketplaces. Let's get started!
WST Premium Series
The WST Premium Series are designed for professionals and enthusiasts who are ready to take their drumming to the next level. The A5 and A7 models are equipped with premium features such as Hi-Hat stand, double mesh drum heads, professional modules, and more.
Authentic moving Hi-Hat
Kits that come with authentic moving hi-hats are essential for drummers who want a complete and realistic playing experience. A hi-hat stand allows for better foot control and dynamic playing, enabling drummers to create complex rhythms and accents. The stability and adjustability of a hi-hat stand also enhance the overall feel of the kit, making it easier to play consistently and comfortably during long practice sessions or performances.
A5 and A7 from our premium series are fitted with moving Hi-Hat (stand included!) that requires only simple assembly so that you can enjoy playing right out of the box! It also features half-open pedal, allowing for precise dynamics.

Sound Module
The sound module generates and processes sounds triggered by the player's performance, and is a crucial part of the kit. At its core, it contains a library of drum sounds, including samples of acoustic drums, percussion instruments, and synthesized sounds.
The A5 and A7 kits comes with the flagship WST sound module that offers a multitude of features like group fader controls, digital signal processing, Bluetooth connectivity, and more. Group faders allow drummers to control the volume levels of multiple drum sounds simultaneously. There is a total of 948 tones, 52 drum kits, and 10 preset songs for users to play with!

Double Mesh drum heads
Double mesh drum heads enhances sensitivity, and allow for better dynamic range, thus providing a more realistic and responsive playing experience. This design mimics the feel of acoustic drumheads, making them quieter and more comfortable to play. Additionally, double mesh heads reduce the rebound often found in rubber pads, enabling drummers to play with greater control and precision.

Choke Feature
The choke function is a valuable feature found in the A7 and A5 edrum kits, particularly on cymbal pads. This function allows drummers to stop or "choke" the sound of a cymbal by grabbing or squeezing the pad with their hand after striking it. This mimics the technique used on acoustic cymbals, providing a more realistic playing experience.
