THUNDER DRUMS

by RHB - Analogue Drums

We’re on a mission to change drumming — here’s why

We’ve been playing in a band for years — guitar, bass, vocals, and of course, drums. Every instrument was easy to live with, whether we were recording, performing, amplifying, transporting, or even just leaving it in the corner of a room…

...except one - the drums.

It always felt like the drummer carried an unfair burden, no matter what they chose. Either you could enjoy an acoustic kit and sacrifice half your living space to a wooden behemoth, or you bite the bullet and buy a MIDI kit that packs away neatly… and usually stays packed away because you never actually want to play it.

So we set out to build a kit that gives you everything you adore about acoustic drums — the feel, the rebound, the raw physicality — without demanding the lifestyle that usually comes with them. A kit that behaves with the convenience of an electronic setup, but sounds and responds like the real thing. No more choosing between joy and practicality, or treating drumming like a noble hardship you have to suffer for. With our system, drumming becomes simple again: the instrument you love, without the labour of love. This is drumming, liberated.

We need you to join the REVOLUTION

At RHB Analogue Drums, we’re building the Thunder Drum — a breakthrough system designed to give drummers real freedom, not just another compromise. A kit that keeps everything you love about acoustic drums, with all the convenience you wish electronic kits actually delivered.

🎵 Amplify your sound instantly

🎙️ Record cleanly — no microphones, no setup

📦 Store your kit without sacrificing your home

🚚 Take it anywhere without breaking your back

🎛️ Shape your sound in seconds

No microphones. No limits. Just pure analogue power.

But here’s the truth: we don’t want to build this for drummers — we want to build it with drummers.

If you want to influence the future of the instrument you love, help us shape the Thunder Drum from the ground up. This is your chance to be part of something genuinely new.

You have a problem — its your drumkit

Whether acoustic or MIDI, every drumkit brings its own set of problems

ACOUSTIC PROBLEMS

Amplification is costly and complicated

Microphones are an expensive nightmare

Transporting a kit requires a van (and money)

Drums take up half your living space

Live sound checks take forever

Playing without amplification kills your sound

MIDI PROBLEMS

Feels fake and uninspiring

Glitches, lag, and VST headaches

Miss-hits and unreliable triggering

Samples never match real tone from a skin

Decent kits cost a fortune

Bulky, plasticky, and ugly

Unfortunately there has been no escape of these issues - until NOW


The Solution - THUNDERDRUMS


Introducing the world’s first TRUE analogue drumkit.

We’ve engineered a completely new type of drum that produces a pure analogue audio signal directly from the drum skin — no microphones, no software, no digital triggers.

It’s 70% smaller, fully plug‑and‑play, and gives you the real feel and nuance of acoustic drumming with none of the hassle.

Thunder Drums gives you power: Power in ease. Power in space. Power in amplification. Power in enjoyment.

PURE ANALOGUE SIGNAL

Produces a true analogue audio signal directly from the drum skin → Record or amplify instantly with plug‑and‑play simplicity

70% REDUCED SHELL DEPTH

A compact design that takes up a fraction of the space → Store and transport your kit cheaply, easily, and without a van

NO EXTERNAL MICROPHONES

Your sound is captured directly from the drum → No bleed, no noise, no setup — just clean, consistent tone

TRUE SKIN TECHNOLOGY

A real drum skin produces the sound, not a digital trigger → Real feel, real dynamics, real drumming

1. Hit the TRUE‑SKIN drum

A real drum skin vibrates naturally — just like an acoustic kit.

2. The skin’s vibration is converted into an analogue audio signal

No triggers. No samples. No digital processing.

3. Plug into any amp, interface, mixer, or PA

Instant sound. No mics. No setup. No software.

4. Play anywhere

Home, studio, gig — Thunder Drums adapts instantly.

It’s simple: you hit the drum, the skin vibrates, the ThunderDrum converts that vibration into a pure analogue signal, and you amplify, record, and play.

The result...

Here’s an early glimpse of our ThunderDrum technology in development. No microphones were used in this recording — the audio comes entirely from our prototype system. It’s rough, it’s early, but the potential is starting to show. Curious what you think of the sound.
