Challenge

The Loft team was tasked with designing a drum kit that is both sturdy and easy to play, while ensuring that the drum materials and electronics are affordable. This required a deep understanding of drummer’s needs at various skill levels and a careful balance of factors such as sound quality, durability, and mechanical ruggedness. Not all drum kit models offer the same level of playability; it is crucial for drummers to know that they are investing in a kit that will help then develop their skills and achieve their musical goals.

Solution

The kit features newly designed mesh drum heads, which provide a realistic feel and response similar to that of traditional drum heads while offering a quiet playing experience. Special consideration was given to a best-in-class rack. The extruded rectangular profile offers a sturdy platform while the thoughtful drum hardware offers maximum adjustability for all different playing styles, ensuring durability. The intuitive LCD display offers a range of drum kits, making it versatile to many styles. Overall, the kit provides quality, affordability, and versatility, making it a great choice for both beginners and pro drummers.

Outcome

The drum kit became one of the top selling items at retail locations and was a hit in the drumming community. The design struck the right balance between features and clever design at an affordable price. This success has helped revive the Simmons brand in the market and has filled a gap in the market for a high quality, affordable, and highly playable electronic drum kit.

Playability and exceptional sound quality

Aspiring drummers have to carefully select the best drum kit that meets their needs and budget. Many brands compromise on important features such as quality of sound and performance, and not all drum kit models offer the same level of playability. The team conducted extensive research and testing to develop a product that delivers a rich experience for beginners and experienced drummers alike.
