Key Features
Redefining the term hybrid drums. The ATV 18" Ride Cymbal is a cymbal trigger pad with legitimate acoustic specifications - with the diameter, shape and playability that you'd expect from an acoustic ride cymbal. This, mixed with ATV's world-leading technology, creates an end product that is the ultimate outlet for percussive expression.
With the natural behaviours of acoustic cymbals, you'll be inspired whenever you sit down to play, practise and perform. The ATV cymbal pads can be played anywhere around the entire cymbal pad. They also replicate important details such as the flex and wobble of the cymbal when the edge is struck.

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.
"Pursuing the true value of an instrument that cannot be expressed by specs or functions". This was ATV's mission when setting out to create the aDrums series. And with it, the company has developed a bold and unique instrument that has to be seen and heard in the flesh to be truly appreciated. With 6-ply, piano black, premium birch wood drum shells, the aDrums provide the striking visuals of an acoustic kit with the convenience of world-leading electronics. Forget the home studio or practice room, the aDrums are made for the bright lights of the stage.
The aDrums' cymbals can be played and choked anywhere around their full circumference, eliminating the need for rotation stoppers that restrict their natural motion. The 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 idiosyncrasies, you can't get any closer to the real thing.
