Found it!

I found it! I have saved my $ from playing gigs with Bad Rumor, plus casino winnings, and I had looked around for a while for it, but it's been found! I even set up a "watch for this product to be available" email notification:

If I wanted to blow all of my savings on a set of drums, this is the order I would place. However, no, I don't want to blow all of my savings on a set of drums.

Combines ddrum's triggering and acoustic drum expertise

ddrum has been a leader in drum triggering since 1983. And in 2005, it changed the acoustic drum market again by offering boutique-style shell packs and hardware options to drummers of all levels. The ddrum Hybrid 5 is the natural marriage of these two ideas. Not only is the ddrum Hybrid 5 a pro acoustic kit, but it features top-class triggering to capture the real feel of your every performance.

100% birch shells deliver a crisp, cutting tone

The ddrum Hybrid 5 boasts modern shell sizes with a smart satin finish. We at Sweetwater especially liked the red hardware and badges - a nod to ddrum's trademark drum modules and triggers. The toms, kick, and snare in this shell pack are all made from 100% birch plies (6, 8, and 6, respectively). This gives the ddrum Hybrid 5 a cutting attack, a slightly scooped midrange, and dry overtones. The bass drum is full and responsive. And the snare and toms have a lively quality and quick decay that make them ideal for close-miking.

ddrum Acoustic Pro triggers are at the top of their class

Artists from Butch Vig to Ginger Fish rely on ddrum's elite triggering to capture the feel and energy of their drum performances. The ddrum Acoustic Pro triggers mounted inside each shell in the ddrum Hybrid 5 shell pack exhibit a realistic dynamic response and good resistance to false triggering. This technology is far superior to triggering drums with microphones - one that makes it onvenient to blend sounds from a drum module or laptop for demanding live and studio applications.
