The Medeli MZ928 is the flagship digital drum kit that bridges the gap between electronic convenience and acoustic authenticity. Built around full-size wooden shells paired with responsive mesh heads, it delivers the physical presence and visual impact of an acoustic kit while offering modern electronic versatility.
Demanding players will experience top-tier expression on stage or in the studio, this instrument combines detailed multi-zone triggering with an expansive sound library.
Acoustic Feel and Wooden Shell Construction
At the heart of the MZ928 experience are genuine wooden shells that provide the natural rebound and depth expected from acoustic drums. The kit features a 20-inch bass drum alongside a 12-inch dual-zone snare equipped with advanced positional sensing for nuanced ghost notes and rim shots. Toms are distributed across two rack units and a floor tom, ensuring a familiar layout.
Advanced Sound Engine and 906 Voices
Driven by Medeli's processing technology, the sound module houses 906 distinct voices and 256 notes of polyphony to handle complex drumming passages without note dropping. Drummers can explore 55 factory kit presets or build up to 45 custom user kits. Comprehensive onboard editing tools allow precise control over tuning, muffling, and EQ settings for every trigger.
Professional I/O and Eight Direct Outputs
For live performance and studio recording, the MZ928 offers exceptional connectivity. The Brain of the kit features standard stereo master outputs as well as balanced XLR connections. The module also provides eight individual direct outputs. This allows sound engineers to route individual drums directly to a mixing desk or audio interface for complete multitrack control.
Wireless Connectivity and Practice Tools
Integrated Bluetooth functionality enables wireless audio playback and MIDI connectivity, allowing players to stream backing tracks straight from a smart device or laptop. Built-in practice functions include a metronome, rhythm coaching routines, and internal audio or MIDI recording to track progress and refine timing.
Additional convenience comes via SD card expansion supporting up to 64GB for user sample loading, alongside dual headphone sockets for silent monitoring sessions.
