Simon Phillips developed some of the sounds. They are absolutely realistic high-end sounds that were recorded for us in Simon Phillips' studio. He is one of the most legendary drummers in the world. With his unmistakable style, he has influenced entire generations of drummers, including TOTO.
The 32 GB sound module contains hundreds of Simon Phillips multi-layer sounds made up of a total of 12,500 individual samples.
Simon Phillips recorded his drum sets in the recording studio in Los Angeles and optimised them specifically for the Hybrid PRO XT module together with our development department. The drum and cymbal sounds were recorded for a wide variety of styles with elaborate multi-miking and at several microphone distances.

The new module marks a significant advance on its predecessor and offers a number of advantages. First of all, it impresses with its robust workmanship, which promises greater durability and reliability. Instead of a single data controller, the module now has three, which makes control quick and easy. An enlarged display facilitates navigation and improves clarity, while the integration of app control ensures modern and user-friendly operation. Another significant advantage is the increased memory capacity of 32 GB compared to the previous 4 GB, together with the ability to remove an SD card from the side without having to open the device. This increases flexibility and convenience in use. Furthermore, the module offers five additional inputs for triggers and pads instead of just one, which significantly expands the connection options. Finally, six direct outs instead of the previous four allow for a more comprehensive and detailed audio output, which is particularly beneficial in live and studio settings. Like its predecessor, the XT is available in two versions: matt and chrome.

The module is operated in a simple and structured manner via five menu items(MIXERUNIT/PROGRAM/CHANNEL/SOUND/SPECIAL) with different sections. The

All settings, such as Kits, sounds, presets and triggers can be organised and arranged on the PC/MAC. Your own kits can be easily loaded with sounds and songs using the free software editor, allowing you to create a kit list to match the setlist at the concert, which can then be called up in sequence. If required, the software editor can be used to create multi-layer sounds with 127 velocity levels from your own sounds. An excellent multi-layer sound can be created from any WAV file, e.g. studio recordings of your acoustic drum set.

Whether for meticulous practicing or as an indispensable companion on stage, the integrated metronome sets new standards. You can save a customized metronome for each kit, complete with your preferred time signatures, accents and sounds.
Even better, you can use it as a clever count-in that switches itself off after one or two bars. This way, the introduction remains precise without the metronome still ringing in your ears afterwards.
In addition to the impressive multi-layer samples, the Fame Hybrid Pro XT is characterized by another feature that contributes significantly to its ultra-realistic sound profile: The sounds output vary minimally depending on velocity and playing style. This fine-tuning prevents the so-called "machine gun" effect, which gives some electronic drum sets an unnatural sound. Instead, the Hybrid Pro XT offers impressive naturalness with professional studio-quality sounds.
When a pad is struck repeatedly, a slightly different sample with a unique sound profile is played each time. This sophisticated technology clearly sets the Hybrid Pro XT apart from other sets in its price range.

The cymbal pads of the Hybrid Pro XT set take the drum experience to a new level with their excellent response and a playing feel that offers the perfect rebound. The 12-inch ride pad in particular , equipped with three separate zones for bell, bow and rim, enables a multi-faceted sound design that is in no way inferior to acoustic cymbals. The crash pads, also in 12 inch, not only offer first-class sounds captured in studio quality by our development team, but also the flexibility to assign each zone individually. On board are multi-layer cymbal sounds created with cymbal sets from Meinl, Sabian and Zildjian .
Apart from the outstanding sound quality, the cymbal pads of the
The impressive 12-inch hi-hat pad of the Hybrid Pro XT is mounted on the professional stand
The functionality of the hi-hat pad in the Hybrid Pro XT simulates an acoustic Set down to the last detail: the hi-hat can be opened and closed using the foot pedal, with the sensor under the pad precisely detecting the degree of opening. This ensures a fluid playing feel that is in no way inferior to that of an acoustic drum kit. The pad itself offers two playing zones - edge and surface - and the module delivers a wide range of multi-layer sounds for a perfect studio sound.

The Fame Hybrid Pro XT E-Drum Set impresses with a 12-inch snare (stereo) and a 12-inch kick pad, whereby an additional pad or trigger can be connected to the snare pad when the rim is not in use. A special feature of the Hybrid Pro XT is its compatibility with pads from other leading manufacturers such as Roland, Yamaha and 2Box, which greatly expands the range of applications. The four 10-inch tom pads are the same size as an acoustic drum kit, allowing for easy integration without the need to adjust motion sequences. The high-quality Fame mesh heads offer the decisive advantage of virtually silent playing. They also allow traditional tensioning and loosening by means of a tuning key, allowing the Hybrid Pro XT to be perfectly adjusted to individual playing styles and the desired rebound.
In contrast to its predecessor, an additional pad or trigger (mono) can be connected to each of the four tom pads using a Y-cable, in which case the rim channel is no longer required.
The Fame Hybrid Pro XT E-Drum Set offers two practical options for mounting the snare pad: In addition to the option of attaching the snare directly to the rack with a pad holder included in the scope of delivery - which enables a space-saving and practical setup of the drum kit - it is recommended for those who want to exploit the full potential of the snare pad to mount the snare on the included
