The Zildjian ALCHEM-E Bronze EX electronic drum kit merges 400 years of cymbal-making mastery with cutting-edge electronic technology to deliver an unparalleled drumming experience. This hybrid kit offers an authentic acoustic feel with shallow-depth real wood shells, while its compact "two-up, one-down" configuration fits seamlessly into home studios and small stages. Zildjian's revolutionary E-FAMILY cymbals provide the tactile response of traditional cymbals, combined with electronic triggering for nuanced, immersive playability. Paired with the powerful E-VAULT module, which unlocks Zildjian's full library of sounds, the Bronze EX is the ultimate portable electronic solution for drummers seeking versatility and realism.

Immersive E-FAMILY Cymbals for Authentic Playability

At the heart of the ALCHEM-E Bronze EX kit are Zildjian's innovative E-FAMILY cymbals, designed to emulate the feel and sound of acoustic cymbals with the added precision of electronic triggering. The 14" hi-hats, 16" crash and 18" crash/ride offer three-zone playability and 360-degree touch choking, allowing drummers to perform with the same dynamics and control as an acoustic setup. The built-in Zildjian Trigger System provides fast, accurate sound triggering from the E-VAULT module, giving drummers access to a wide array of cymbal, drum and percussion sounds for limitless creativity.

E-VAULT Module: A World of Zildjian Sounds at Your Fingertips

The E-VAULT module is a game changer, granting access to Zildjian's expansive library of cymbal sounds from their historic catalog. With a user-friendly interface and a 5" color touchscreen, navigating and customizing your kit is a breeze. Whether you're creating a classic cymbal setup or experimenting with new soundscapes, the E-VAULT offers professionally preconfigured kits alongside the ability to create custom kits from Zildjian's past, present, and future sounds. The module also features Bluetooth connectivity, MIDI inputs, USB outputs and more, making it a versatile tool for both live performances and studio sessions.

Real Wood Shells for an Authentic Drum Feel

Despite being an electronic drum kit, the ALCHEM-E Bronze EX features real wood shells for an authentic acoustic feel. The 14" snare, two 10" toms and one 12" tom, and 18" kick drum allow drummers to enjoy traditional playability in a compact footprint. These space-efficient shells make it easy to position the kit in tight setups without sacrificing the feel of acoustic drumming. Combined with Zildjian's advanced electronic technology, the Bronze EX delivers an unmatched balance of realism and portability.

DW Hardware Completes the Ultimate Setup

The ALCHEM-E Bronze EX kit with DW hardware is enhanced by DW's robust and reliable hardware, including the DWCP3100 drum throne for comfort and durability, the DW 3000 Series snare stand with double-braced legs, and the DW 3000 Series 3-leg hi-hat stand for stability and adjustability. The kit also includes the DW 3000 Series double bass pedal, featuring a dual-chain accelerator drive system and an anti-skid steel base for maximum performance. Together, Zildjian's electronic kit and DW's professional-grade hardware create an unbeatable drumming setup for players of all skill levels.
