Electronic drums that allow users to create a variety of sounds in addition to those that can be created with traditional acoustic percussion instruments have been around for many years.
Mandala Drum V3 System is an advanced take on electronic drums — a drum head pad that can trigger 100,000 sound samples via its software, according to its Indiegogo campaign. Mandala is based on a patented position sensing membrane switch that its makers say is able to sense where the user is striking the drum and how hard.
