Founded in a small basement workshop in 1983, ddrum began with a passion for music, curiosity, and a dedication to innovation. That same year, founder Hans Nordelius developed the Digital Percussion Plate 1 (DPP1) — the world’s first drum pad to offer dynamic playing with sampled sounds. Its instant success led to the birth of the ddrum brand.
With their pioneering design, ddrum pads featured real drum heads and hoops, quickly earning a reputation for their realistic feel and reliable performance. Decades later, ddrum remains a leading name in digital drum-triggering technology — still driven by the same values and love for music that sparked it all.
