Kit setup
Kit setup: your electronic drum kit in WebEDrums
One USB cable, a browser that asks once, and a setup that records which pad is which, or fills it in from a preset for your module. Pick your kit family for the exact notes its preset maps, how it connects and how to keep the delay down; the connection pages below cover every kit with a USB port.
Three full plays a day, every feature, no account. Chrome or Edge.
Kit pages
Which kit do you have?
One page per module family WebEDrums has a preset for. The pad tables are generated from the app's own preset data, so they cannot disagree with what the app does. Other modules work with the General MIDI preset and the recorded setup.
