The Carlsbro CSD45M is a 9-piece mesh head electronic drum kit with a full-size, fully adjustable rack and a proper hardware open/close hi-hat stand. It’s designed to feel much closer to an acoustic kit while keeping volume and footprint under control, making it a strong option for home practice, teaching studios and small stages.
Mesh heads on all the drum pads, dual-zone triggering on snare, toms and ride, and a quiet 8" mesh kick pad give a responsive, natural playing feel. The Commander 25 sound module adds 320 drum and percussion voices, 22 preset kits, 10 user kits and 20 backing tracks, plus USB audio and MIDI so you can plug straight into your DAW or learning software.

Why Choose the Carlsbro CSD45M?
Feels more like a real kit than entry-level e-drums
The CSD45M uses full mesh heads on all drum pads and a proper open/close hi-hat stand rather than a simple floor pedal. That means stick response, hi-hat control and kit layout are all closer to what you get on an acoustic set – helpful both for beginners learning good technique and for experienced drummers who want a quieter practice kit.
Quiet practice without losing dynamics
Mesh heads and soft-touch rubber cymbals help keep mechanical noise down, while dual-zone pads and carefully designed sensors avoid dead spots and give you usable dynamics across the playing surface. It’s well-suited to home use where volume needs to stay under control.
Strong for teaching and shared use
The Commander 25 module has two headphone outputs, making the kit handy for drum teachers, schools and shared practice spaces. An auxiliary input lets you plug in a phone, tablet or laptop to play along with tracks, YouTube lessons or click tracks.
Ready for recording and online lessons
USB audio and MIDI mean you can record the kit straight to a DAW, trigger software drum instruments, or hook up to tutorial software without needing extra audio interfaces. Carlsbro also promote integration with Melodics, with a bundle of free beginner and intermediate lessons available.
Configurable, reversible and expandable
The pre-assembled rack can be adjusted for players of different heights, reversed for left-handed setups, and expanded with extra pads or kick options as you progress. All adjustments are done with hand-tightened wing nuts and one drum key, so you don’t need a toolbox to change things around.
Overall, the CSD45M sits in a nice spot for drummers who want something more serious than a basic starter kit, without jumping all the way up to high-end flagship models.
