Simmons Titan 50 and Titan 20 Electronic Drum Kits Simmons has introduced the Titan 50 and Titan 20 electronic drum kits . Both kits are equipped to be played at home as quiet practice tools or as part of a stage or studio performance setup . The kits deliver realistic acoustic and electronic drum / percussion sounds , with mesh pads that respond similarly to conventional drumheads , a rectangular rack and clamp system that keeps the pads securely in the selected position , and a bevy of practice tools and connectivity options ( Bluetooth , USB , MIDI ).
The Titan 50 ’ s large and responsive 10-in . dual-zone mesh snare features a low-rim profile combined with high-speed triggering . The kit also comes with three eight-in . mesh toms and three responsive 10-inch cymbals — hi-hat , ride and crash with choke . A six-in . kick pad connects to the included kick pedal , or players can use their own , including double-kick pedals . The full-sized four-post rack is sturdy with steel construction , rectan- gular profile and adjustable mounts to keep all the parts locked in place . The rack is designed to be expandable with an adjustable length side rail so users can add another tom and cymbal . The Titan 50 also includes an all-new library of drum kits , featuring 187 drum sounds , 25 factory preset kits and 10 user drum kits along with three preset and seven user songs . The Titan 50 also allows players to easily replace the factory sounds with custom sets from the Simmons Signature sound library . The Titan 20 ’ s components are similar , but with an 8-inch dual-zone snare with rimshot detection , instead of the Titan 50 ’ s 10-inch snare , as well as different kick and hi-hat pedal constructions . Featuring 103 drum sounds , 10 factory preset kits and one user kit , three preset songs and one user song , the Titan 20 is better suited to beginners and students .
