GEWA began developing their digital drumset range almost 8 years ago. The brief was to develop something outstanding, setting a new benchmark in sound quality, playability, and useability. Technology “Made in Germany” with software developed across Europe! A great collaboration between some of the world's leading engineers has led them BEYOND DIGITAL DRUMS. Utilising class leading technology developed for the flagship G9 kit, the G5 offers the same high performance audio processors, extended connectivity and pro audio recording tools in a more focused and user friendly workstation, perfectly suited for live performance. The beating heart of the G5 is undoubtedly the Drum Workstation. This module is incredibly powerful yet surprisingly intuitive. The multi-chip architecture designates specific processing power to sound generation & trigger detection. Each chip has its own purpose and can therefore perform its task with consummate ease. This class-leading technology means you're able to configure your drums in ways that have been previously unattainable. Real acoustic drums were sampled at the famous Funkhaus Studios in Berlin, but not just close up. The ambient sounds of the room were also recorded and these can be dialled in with ease. This functionality allows you to easily add an incredible natural ambient sound to your drums with just one fader!
