However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features
The Digital Drums 550 Electronic Drum Kit by Gear4music is the latest addition to the 500 series. Built with ease of access and flexibility in mind, the kit offers an enhanced drumming experience with all-new features never before seen in the Digital Drum Range. Broaden rhythmic possibilities via the inclusion of a second crash and fourth tom. Other improvements for the all-mesh kit include a genuine hi-hat stand and an upgrade to 10" across all dual zone drum pads.
Featuring well over 300 authentic, fully customisable drum sounds, the DD550 allows you to assemble 10 of your own user-defined kits for personal use. Alternatively, the inclusion of 15 pre-defined kits means you can jump right in and start playing straight after set-up. Unlock a whole new world of drum tones by using the DD550 as a MIDI controller when connected to your computer. This allows you to utilise third-party sample libraries for production and performance purposes. This bundle comes complete with a set of headphones and drum throne.

Featuring a broad range of features that enhance its already impressive capabilities, the DD550 is a welcomed addition to Gear4music's Digital Drum Series. Unlike any other kit within the range, the DD550 comes complete with a full-size hi-hat stand. Its fast action and smooth response ensures a realistic playing experience. The kit also benefits from an additional 12" cymbal and 10" tom pad. All included dual zone pads have now been upgraded to 10" for a realistic playing experience that parallels an acoustic drum kit.
At the heart of the 550 Electronic drum kit is its state-of-the-art drum module. Designed to provide greater connectivity and controllability, its streamlined nature allows you to focus on what's most important without getting caught up in the finer details. From adjusting the time signature and BPM, to switching kick and snare samples, even the most advanced of options are readily available in only a few clicks of a button.
Creativity is at the core of the DD550 Kit. Every detail of each of the 329 individual drum sounds can be precisely tailored to your desired sound. Fancy a deeper snare tone? Lower its pitch. Looking for a more up-front kick drum sound? Adjust its compression and EQ settings in an instant.
Combined with the broad and extensive collection of onboard DSP effects, whether you want outlandish industrial tones or that organic, roomy, Nashville sound, the drum tone of your dreams is ready at the touch of a button.
The Digital Drum 550's innovative pad tensioning system allows you to perfect the feel of the electronic drum kit's pads. Using the included drum key you'll be able to fine tune how tight or loose you desire each pad to be for an authentic playing experience.
The Digital Drums 550's dual zone pads provide the highly realistic and intuitive feel that drummers want from an electric kit. The mesh kick drum pad offers one of the Digital Drums' most realistic bass drum responses yet, perfectly capturing every subtlety of your playing, while drastically reducing mechanical noise when compared to a rubber pad, for home rehearsal without the noise complaints.
Almost any technique you'd use on a regular acoustic drum kit has been catered for. The snare and each of the four tom pads have a separate sensor in the rim, allowing you to switch to rim-clicks, or, if you wish, assign an entirely separate sample to this sensor for easy access to cowbells, tambourines and more. With three choke-able dual zone cymbal pads, in addition to the hi-hat pad, you've got scope for two crashes and a ride cymbal too, completing a physical playing experience that feels just like playing an acoustic set of drums.
Music is for everyone, so we’re making it easier for you to start playing. Backed by our years of professional experience, the Gear4music range gives you access to a vast collection of instruments, audio gear and accessories. Produced ethically and responsibly, they're suitable for every musical interest while meeting the expectations of a caring world. There’s never been a better time to start making music.
