What is left to be said about these two iconic Japanese companies that you don’t already know. Year after year their achievements and innovations have lead the market in new directions, both leaders in their respective fields. When the world’s leading drum company spends five long years working hand in hand with the music industry’s leading electronics company, great things are bound to happen. Please welcome e/MERGE, an all new e-drumming experience like never before. e/MERGE is about change, and change in the e-drum market has been way overdue. When we looked closely at every aspect of the current e-drumming experience with KORG, together we knew we could make a dramatic difference. And that difference begins with the all new e/MERGE module. Simple yet elegant in design, the e/MERGE EM-MDL1 module features a full library of high definition, natural, organic and minimally processed acoustic Pearl drums. We then added the very best electronic, world, orchestral and specialty percussion sounds from KORG’s vast library of pristine quality samples. But, the module is only part of the change. There are three key elements that separate e/MERGE from anything that has come before. The all new EM-MDL1 e/MERGE Module, KORG’s amazing Wave Trigger Technology and Pearl’s acoustic-like PUREtouch Electronic Pads all combine to create an exceptional e-drumming experience.
