About ATV
Pioneering new fields with audio and video. ATV's very history is formed of innovation and standard setting. The company's founder, Ikutaro Kakehashi, developed MIDI - the now global standard for electronic musical instruments and video equipment. ATV's philosophy is to create instruments with high added value for professional users, rather than falling into the trap of commodification. Part of their mission to send new products into the world that contribute to the development of human culture.
The EXS 5
The EXS 5 has the largest spatial footprint of all ATV's EXS series electronic drum kits. Less compact for home installations, but the trade-off is that the EXS 5 - ATV'S most high-end e-drum offering - benefits from larger snare, tom and cymbal pads. Offering a closer, more authentic replication to the feel of an acoustic kit. Coupled with the impressive xD3 module - you're guaranteed countless hours of playing pleasure. This set is a wonderful choice for beginners and advanced players alike.
xD3 Drum Module
ATV's xD3 module enables drummers of all levels to fully express themselves while articulating their dynamics and ideas. The module's high-speed trigger analysis and low-latency sound production ensure unrivalled performance response and feel sensitivity. Meanwhile, the actual samples on offer represent modern and vintage instruments tuned perfectly and in peak condition - recorded in world-class studios using custom, boutique equipment. With a visual metronome tool, recording capabilities and set-up functions for optimising performance, the xD3 is very much the pulse of the EXS 5.
Larger drum and cymbal pads
Pull off your rim shots and fills in style. The EXS 5's larger pads provide a robust playing experience - closely matching the conventional configuration of a typical acoustic drum set. Not only does this provide a comfortable and natural drumming experience, they also look the part visually under stage lights. Sure to impress all.
Full circumference sensitivity
Electronic cymbals unchained. The cymbals can be played and choked anywhere around their full circumference, eliminating the need for rotation stoppers that restrict your cymbals' natural motion. Their innovative design replicates other important details as well, such as how the entire cymbal flexes and wobbles when its edge is struck. With subtle cymbal nuances, this is as close as you can get to the real thing.
A hi-hat pedal that can keep up
Most electronic hi-hat designs use contact-style sensors to detect pedal motion. The downside is that these mechanisms are limited in their accuracy and capability. By comparison, the EXS series hi-hat utilises an optical sensor to provide high-precision sensing that won't lag under any circumstances. Well equipped for rapid playing.
Unique sensors and dual-layer drum heads
Technology to encapsulate your idiosyncrasies. A dual-layer mesh head pad is used for the EXS 5 snare and tom pads. When played, this design ensures that your full dynamic range of strokes is translated into expressive sounds, including those powerful rim shots.
Ultra responsive kick drum triggers
The heart of your groove. For rhythmic support, it's essential that the kick drum combines stability with fast, responsive triggering. Unlike various other electronic drum brands, ATV's structural design optimises the pad's balance between damping and sensitivity to provide a rock-solid playing feel and immediate response.
