Abstract
An electronic drum head is provided that attaches to a standard acoustic drum shell. The drum head is a self-contained unit that replaced both the acoustic drum head and the drum hoop or rim to convert the acoustic drum into an electronic drum. When the drummer plays these heads, the drum head is muted, minimizing acoustic noise from the kit. Also, these electronic drum heads can be easily attached and removed, allowing the drummer to go back to playing his acoustic drums when desired.
