Carlsbro CSD45M 9-Piece Mesh Head Electronic Drum Kit, Open/Close Hi-Hat

Full-Size 9-Piece Mesh Head Electronic Drum Kit With Hardware Open/Close Hi-Hat Stand, Commander 25 Sound Module & USB Audio & MIDI Interface – Carlsbro CSD45M.

The Carlsbro CSD45M is a full-size 9-piece mesh head electronic drum kit from one of Britain's most established and trusted music equipment brands, stepping up from the CSD35M with a key upgrade that sets it apart — a unique frame-attached legless open/close hardware hi-hat stand that emulates the feel and playability of an acoustic drum kit far more authentically than a standard hi-hat control pedal. The small footprint of the legless hi-hat stand also allows for free placement of double bass pads and pedals without compromising the drummer's stance or comfort. The kit features an expanded pad configuration of two 10" and two 8" dual-zone mesh pads alongside a 10" snare — providing a larger playing surface across the kit — plus a 12" dual-zone ride cymbal with bow and bell triggering and choke, two 10" crash cymbals with choke, a 10" hi-hat cymbal, an 8" mesh bass pad with kick pedal, and the pre-assembled fully adjustable 4-legged drum rack that Carlsbro kits are known for.

Like the CSD35M, the CSD45M is powered by the Commander 25 sound module delivering 320 high-quality voices, 22 preset and 10 user-defined drum kits, 20 backing tracks and three recording save slots. Dual headphone outputs make it ideal for teaching environments and quiet home practice, and the USB audio and MIDI interface enables direct high-quality recording to any DAW alongside full MIDI functionality — all via a single USB cable. Melodics integration unlocks 50 free drum lessons, and the Commander 25 supports further expansion with a 4th tom, second bass pad or double kick control.

Hardware Open/Close Hi-Hat Stand – The Key Upgrade

The defining feature of the CSD45M over the CSD35M is the unique frame-attached legless open/close hardware hi-hat stand, which replicates the feel and response of a real acoustic hi-hat far more convincingly than a standard pedal-only hi-hat controller. The legless design attaches directly to the drum rack frame, keeping the footprint compact and leaving the floor space in front of the kit clear for double bass pedals and pads without compromising the drummer's natural playing stance — a significant practical advantage for players looking to expand into double kick setups.

Expanded Pad Configuration & Realistic Playing Feel

The CSD45M steps up from the CSD35M with two 10" and two 8" dual-zone mesh tom pads, providing a larger and more realistic playing surface across the kit. Low-profile mesh rims on all pads increase playing accuracy and reduce noise from unwanted rim shots, and Carlsbro's sensor technology eliminates dead spots for consistent, natural triggering across the full surface of each pad. The 12" dual-zone ride provides separate bow and bell triggering, and both crash cymbals and the ride feature choke functionality for authentic musical expression.

Commander 25 Module, USB Audio & MIDI & Melodics

The Commander 25 module delivers 320 voices, 22 preset kits and 10 customisable user-defined kits built using the onboard drum kit builder — allowing pad sounds, volume, tuning, panning and reverb to be personalised for every pad. Dual headphone outputs support teaching and shared practice scenarios, and the USB audio and MIDI interface enables direct DAW recording and MIDI control via a single cable. Melodics integration unlocks 50 free drum lessons for beginners and intermediate players, and the Commander 25 supports expansion with a 4th tom in 8" or 10", a second bass drum pad and a double kick control pedal.
