Dato DRUM Circular Drum Machine

Introducing the Dato DRUM: the playful drum machine that is made to be enjoyed by humans of all ages! The hands-on visual sequencer makes it easy to explore rhythm & the circular shape invites collaboration.

We carefully picked the features of the DRUM so that it is easy to use and fun to play with, whether you are a seasoned musician or a fresh groovemaker.

Visual rhythm and collaboration

The eight sided shape of Dato DRUM allows approaching drum patterns from different angles, making it perfect for collaborative jam sessions or solo beat exploration. The sequencers are arranged in circles, showing your entire rhythm at once.

Kick! Snare! Hat! Clap!

Dato DRUM features four drum voices, each with its own drum pad and eight-step sequencer. Each voice can have different samples, and those sounds can be pitched up and down with hands-on sliders.

Fun for everyone

With its colourful buttons and intuitive controls, Dato DRUM is perfectly suited for budding musicians of all ages. Every knob has one function and there are no menus to get lost in.

An instrument that grows with you

The simple design of the DRUM might be deceiving, as it feels at home in more advanced setups as well. It has MIDI and sync connections for other instruments and you can update samples by connecting the DRUM to your computer via USB.
