Korg Wavedrum WDX Global Edition

Korg WAVEDRUM WDX Global Edition

The new Wavedrum Global Edition embodies the next and biggest step yet in the evolution of this unique instrument family. Featuring sought-after international percussion sounds, the Global Edition offers the widest range of innovative sounds to date, as well as a significant increase in sound quality and dramatic improvement in operation.

In 2009, KORG unveiled the Wavedrum WD-X, a reissue of the original Wavedrum from 1994. The newly discovered '09 WD-X caused quite a stir as a creative performance tool, offering users of the original Wavedrum as well as forward-thinking percussionists new, fascinating possibilities for expression. This was followed by models such as the Wavedrum Oriental with additional Arabic sounds, the Wavedrum Mini with a new type of Sensor Clip, and Limited Edition models with special colors. And the limitless potential of this instrument is causing the worldwide Wavedrum mania to spread faster and faster.
