GEWA G5 - This is for Performers!
On the digital drums of the GEWA G5 series you play like on a real kit.
The G5 sound module has the same impressive library of high-resolution sounds and samples as the top-of-the-line G9. The user interface focuses on what matters in the rehearsal room or home studio, and is accordingly simple and direct to use.
Full-size wooden shells in a fine black sparkle finish provide the phenomenal look of a real drum set. The studio pad version offers a space-saving solution without sacrificing the playability of a high-end drum set.
In combination with the high-quality special heads and specially-developed GEWA e-hardware, they offer a playing feel that is in no way inferior to that of an acoustic drum set.
Cymbals that feel like cymbals, that sound like cymbals, that vibrate like cymbals.
The revolutionary cymbal pads of the GEWA G5 drum sets are modelled on the legendary Paiste 2002 cymbals in terms of dimensions and weight.
Of course, we develop and produce our digital drums here at home. In Germany. In Saxony. After all, they are GEWA Made in Germany.
GEWA G5 - This is for Performers!
The GEWA G5 Pro Series is equipped with a sturdy GEWA Hardware Pack. This not only looks good but also isolates external vibrations in particular. This is especially important when playing on stage, for example, to avoid false triggers.
To provide the most realistic feel in a more affordable price range we’ve developed a set of special GEWA Electronics two-ply mesh heads. They have a really nice stick response and feel almost like an acoustic drum head.
In the search for the perfect illusion without compromise, one of the most outstanding innovations of GEWA Digital Drums – the incredibly realistic cymbal pads – were developed in a lengthy process directly at our factory.
The GEWA G-Series Electronic Cymbals were modeled based on the legendary Paiste 2002 Series in terms of construction and weighting. Their structure ensures not only a natural swinging behavior but also particularly good trigger properties.
All GEWA E-Cymbals are 3-zone compatible with most drum modules. They can be with only one trigger output as well as in 3-way mode. To meet the high standard of this development, we have also entrusted the production here to our competent technology partners on site. In Germany. In Saxony. After all, they are made in Germany.

3D Sonic Image is the term we use to describe the specific ambient sound of each acoustic GEWA sample. Unlike conventional reverb effects, this is not calculated, but actually recorded via the room microphones during the sampling process.
Aux1 – Aux4 are additional trigger inputs. Here you can add more pads to the drum set. Please remember to select the appropriate trigger settings for the channels.
No, the GEWA Digital Drums cannot be played with brushes.
No. The Bluetooth interface is purely an audio input for connecting playback devices to your module. Using Bluetooth headphones would not work due to Bluetooth latency, as all sounds would arrive with delay.
Yes. Since we use stereo jacks as standard for the trigger inputs on GEWA Digital Drums, all pads / triggers / cymbals with such a connector are compatible. Standard trigger presets already exist for the most common pads. Of course, you may have to adjust trigger settings to your preferences.
Yes, no problem. For optimal trigger behavior with a double pedal, we recommend that you select the trigger preset “GEWA Kick 18inch DP” for the bass drum.
All GEWA E-Cymbals are divided into 3 zones: Bow, Bell and Edge. This is even true for the hi-hat.
No, the switch only distinguishes between the switching states On and Off. No expression pedal can be used.
The Foot-Switch function can be assigned different parameters. Go to the “General Settings” menu and select the “Control Tab” in the second block. Here you can define the Foot-Switch function: Kit Select, Fixed Hi-Hat, Stage Mode, Song Player, Setlist Tile Change.
The volume ratios of Head & Rim are stored within the drum kit. In the "Kit Editor" menu you can select the individual zones and adjust their volume parameters.
Via the hi-hat calibration you define the optimal open/close position values for your hi-hat setup. First go to the “Trigger Settings” menu and select the hi-hat channel. As soon as you select the hi-hat pedal as a zone, the button “Calibrate…” appears. Press this button and follow the on-screen instructions.
No. The song player does have a loop function, but its possibilities are not comparable to those of a loop station.
Of course, mesh heads from other manufacturers can be used on GEWA pads as well! However, we do not recommend this, because we have put a lot of work into the development of the True Rebound heads to achieve an optimal trigger behavior in our setup.
Yes, all internal GEWA sounds are multi-layer based. All sounds available at www.gewacloud.com are multi-layer based as well!
Yes, it is possible to import your own one-shot samples in various formats. Importing your own multi-layer samples is currently not possible.
