GEWA Digital Drums
The G9 series is the upper class of GEWA digital drums.
With its sophisticated design and professional features, it meets the highest demands in terms of look, sound and feel.
The heart of this series is the groundbreaking G9 workstation, whose stable 10" touch display allows intuitive and easy operation of all functions, such as sound selection, set editing and the pro audio recording tools. The internal multi-chip architecture guarantees outstanding performance, and the integrated Bluetooth and Wifi function means you are always securely connected.
The pre-installed library of high-resolution samples has something for every taste and can be expanded at any time via the constantly growing GEWA Soundstore.
REMO® True Rebound Mesh Heads, specially developed for this series, provide an incomparably natural playability that has never been seen before in the electric drum sector. The heads sit either on space-saving trigger pads or on full-size shells in walnut or carbon look, which give you the feeling of sitting at a real drum set.
Cymbals that feel like cymbals, that sound like cymbals, that vibrate like cymbals.
The revolutionary cymbal pads of the GEWA G9 drum sets are modelled on the legendary Paiste 2002 cymbals in terms of size and weight.
Never before have e-drums felt so real.
If you want the best, you should ask the best. That’s what we did, and together with the experts from REMO® USA we developed the new True Rebound Mesh Heads. In the search for the most realistic feel possible, countless tests were conducted with a wide variety of materials and manufacturing processes. This Mesh Head is the result.
Two Layers of a special fabric are glued together in a proprietary process and serve as the drumhead on all GEWA digital drums. Single layer heads are also optionally available as resonant heads.
The True Rebound Mesh Heads come closer to the playabilitiy of an acoustic drumhead than any mesh head ever before. They are produced especially for us at REMO® in California and are exclusively available at GEWA.
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.

You can find the installation instructions in the .zip file of the download. Alternatively you have the possibility to update the G9 module directly via the WiFi connectivity. Go to “General Settings” -> “Update” and click on “Check for Update!”.
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.
No. Depending on the active menu item, the hardware controls are permanently assigned and cannot be defined individually.
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.
In the third module of the “Kit Editor” menu you will find the tab “Hi-Hat Volume Control”. Here you can adjust the volumes of individual hi-hat sounds.
No. The song player does have a loop function, but its possibilities are not comparable to those of a loop station.
Flash Memory is a particularly fast "working memory" (comparable to RAM on a PC) on which the sounds are stored in order to retrieve them quickly and with as little latency as possible. Internal Memory serves as a kind of hard disk on which larger amounts of data are temporarily stored (Playalongs, PDFs, import samples, ...).
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.
