Turn your Acoustic Drum into an E-Drum or Hybrid Kit!

With the drum-tec groovebar your drum set becomes a high-quality E-Drum. You don't need a new kit. You can upgrade your favorite acoustic kit with the unlimited possibilities of an E-Drum in just a few steps. You can then play it as an E-Drum, use it as a Hybrid Set and play it again as a purely acoustic set at any time without having to remove the trigger section.

What does the groovebar do?

The groovebar is a trigger unit that can be mounted in the shell. It captures your drumming on your kit finely and precisely. You only need one groovebar for each acoustic shell. You can use it for your snare, your bass drum and in the rack toms and floor toms of your set. In each groovebar, a rim trigger and the head trigger electronically pass on the detected signals. A drum module can use this to reproduce your individual performance in a realistic and natural way.

What makes the groovebar so special?

It is the sum of first-class trigger performance, flexible application, lightweight and stable aluminum construction, easy installation and solid manufacturing made in Germany, which makes the groovebar a high-quality system.

The look of your drum set remains acoustic

You play a vintage drum kit in top condition? You like the look of your noble premium kit? You want understatement in the look of your kit, but full surprise for the audience when you play it? You want acoustic look with high end sound? That's the reason why we developed this system. It is invisible from the outside. Only a small cable leads out of the air hole on the side of the shell.

Instantly playable built-in system

The drum-tec built-in system is perfect for upgrading an acoustic drum. You don't have to attach anything to the outside of the shell, you don't have to drill a hole, solder anything, or change any of the look. Your drum set will remain visually as it is. The built-in bar is easily mounted on the inner screws of the existing brackets.

  • groovebar long: Rim trigger for all sizes, mid trigger for 13" - 16"
  • groovebar short: Rim trigger for all sizes, mid trigger for 8" - 12"
  • groovebar snare: Mid trigger/rim trigger for snares from 13" - 14"
  • groovebar kick: Rim trigger for bass drum of all sizes

Your sound potential will hit the ceiling!

Great snare drums, like a Ludwig Supraphonic, a Sonor Signature or a Gretsch, sound unique and just right for an individual sound. But how many of these snare drums do you own? With the groovebar and a decent module, you can play all of these sounds. Instantly, by pressing a button and without limits. The drum-tec groovebar ensures that your performance is recognized in all its subtleties and the module brings to life all the nuances of the snare sound of your choice.

Can be played with both Drum Heads and Mesh Heads!

The groovebar is perfect for use with conventional Heads and with E-Drum Mesh Heads. You can still play your acoustic set as what it is. The built-in bar works just as well with conventional heads as it does with the Mesh Heads of E-Drums. It's your choice whether you play a quiet E-Drum with Mesh Heads and acoustic look, or keep the natural sound and enrich it with the module sound. The real sound of your Drum Heads is also only minimally muffled by the cone of the Head Trigger on the underside.

Built-in system with positional sensing

You can place the bar in the center of the shell or in the area between the center and the side of the shell. This is done simply by choosing the brackets to which you attach the bar. If you choose opposite brackets, the head trigger will be under the center of the head. With this arrangement, the system also gives you a positional sensing that can be detected and implemented by suitably equipped E-Drum modules.

Trigger set without hot spot

If you choose to mount the bar on two brackets that are not directly opposite each other, you will have the head trigger under the lateral surface next to the center of the Mesh Head. This prevents a hot spot directly in the center of the Head, which is where you will be playing most of the time.

Versatile built-in system for many years of enjoyment

The system is particularly suitable for installation in high-quality acoustic drums. You have a real vintage drum? You don't want to destroy the look of your precious and expensive drum kit and don't want to drill holes in the shells? You want endless sound possibilities for your vintage acoustic set? You want to preserve the value of your precious set? And someday you'll buy a new expensive acoustic set and want to use the E-Drum technology of the old hybrid drum kit there? You can remove the groovebar just as easily as you installed it. No damage to the shell is left behind and the bar can be remounted as often as you like.

If you fall in love with another shell set, you can easily install your groovebar into the new shells. This gives you unlimited possibilities for how your future setup can look on stage. In combination with the endless possibilities for sounds from a variety of modules that the bar is compatible with, no wishes are left unattained, both visually and acoustically. The system works with most modules on the market. It works perfectly with every Roland module from TD-3 to TD-17, TD-27 to TD-50 and TD-50X. It fits the Mimic Pro module by Pearl, the Roland Octapads and Multipads, the ATV modules aD5 and xD3, all modules by EFNOTE and many more E-Drum modules.

Solid and light - and Handmade in Germany

The groovebar is very stable and torsion-free, but at the same time really lightweight. The high-quality aluminum of the bar ensures that, unlike other built-in triggers, the weight of your drums does not increase noticeably. The triggers consist of a foam cone and a piezo for the head trigger and an underlying rim trigger piezo.

Quality and balance
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
If you are reading this review and looking at this watch, you are most likely someone that appreciates mechanical movements and the rich history behind them and the brands that are known for making quality watches which have a beautiful balance between a timepiece and a piece of jewelry. For me, I have multiple sport watches with many complications and some that cost as much or even more than this Tissot Le Locle but anyone that wears a watch and appreciates the heritage of a mechanical movement must own this watch. The jewelry part of this watch is amazing, not loud, just a refined look making a statement that this is not something cheap. The picture does not do it justice. The dial has an amazing "personality" where under low lighting it looks silver and under normal lighting soft white making a beautiful contrast between the black hands and black roman numerals only to surprise you again when you change the viewing angle and the black numerals change to silver. The black hands will give you no trouble reading the time at a glance and 39mm will prove to be the perfect size for any wrist. The movement is high quality as expected to be in a Tissot and will be working for many years to come so you can pass this watch down to another generation. As a matter of fact, last year my mother who is 78 found the Tissot watch she had in her youth that was in a box with old family watches and she had not worn for decades. She gave the crown a few spins and the watch came back to life keeping accurate time. This is what you can expect from a Tissot movement. So if you are buying this for your self, you are in the right place, if you are buying it for someone else, make sure they can appreciate what this is otherwise you are better off spending your money elsewhere. You should also consider getting quality quick release black and brown leather straps with a classic buckle to make this watch suitable for any attire.

An Exciting and Beautiful Watch
Color: Grey
Update 2-11-18 More time has passed and my satisfaction with the watch continues to grow; it is gratifying to me to simply look at the watch on my arm, I am so pleased with its appearance and operation that it is a joy to wear and to watch its competent functioning. It is keeping excellent time and shows a loss of only a few seconds each day; it is truly a fine watch. Update 2-3-18 I have researched the watch and discovered some interesting questions about locating the serial number. In checking the literature sent with the watch I noticed the small tag attached to the watch identified the serial number as a series of nine letters which are repeated on the case of the watch. I also looked up the barcode and the first three numbers indicated Switzerland to be the country of origin and accurately identified this watch specifically. I"m satisfied this is an authentic watch from Tissot. I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder but to me this is an elegant and beautiful watch and the nicest I have ever owned; it was delivered this afternoon and impressed me greatly right out of the box. I have reset the time and date and it seems to be operating perfectly. I had felt some concern for its authenticity but after seeing the watch and its packaging my concerns have all disappeared; to me it looks and feels like the excellent quality I would expect from Tissot.. Sadly the Certificate of Authenticity had been removed by the seller and on contacting them I was told they reserved the right to do that if they wanted to. I see in at least one other case shown under comments the seller left the document for the buyer. The watch itself strongly indicates the authenticity I had hoped for from the Tissot brand so I'm not all that troubled by the seller's decision. The user manual is tiny and limited in information; a better copy is available online as a PDF file; I've downloaded the file and suggest you might want to consider that option as well.

Jewel case not included!
Color: Grey
I ordered this item and received it without the case shown in the pictures. Contacted Amazon and asked for a replacement - and the customer service over the phone was very understanding about the missing case. The replacement also showed up without the jewel case. I love this watch, but the buying experience wasn't great. Also, on certain occasions it has lost time after being worn for several days and then not being worn for one day. Kinda disappointing. Still, gorgeous to look at, feels great on my wrist.
