[[Rick Allen (drummer)|Rick Allen]], drummer of hard rock band [[Def Leppard]], had a custom electronic drum kit made after a car accident in 1984 in which he lost his left arm. A later kit was made, one that played back the sound of the pre-recorded components of his acoustic drum kit whenever he struck each respective pad.

Omar Hakim (Sting, Bruce Springsteen, Dire Straits, MariaMariah Carey, Madonna, David Bowie, etc) was one of the first mainstream drummers to really take the electronic drums seriously. He toured to promote Roland's vDrum line of electronic drums for several years, and continues to promote them to this day.
