I just got my first real electonic drumkit from Alesis which after more than 25 years of playing acoustics. They really do impress me with their feel, flexibility and sound. However because of the all black pads, black mounts and stand I think their stage appearance is awful…some groups I work with don’t want...
I need to know the difference between the SingingMachine Sound-X SMI-1450 and the SMI-1452. Which one is better, key differences, and if it is even a good brand. I need to know which kit is better despite money. If anyone has another suggestion on a cheap drum set( electronic or acoustic) that would be...
i want to use it for making hip-hop/techno/trance w/e… and i’m looking for one thats under $200, is compatible with garageband and it has to be able allow it’s pads to be assigned a specific sound of my choosing. i found one made by M-audio, i like it but i’m not sure sure if...
I’m looking into buying an electronic drum set. Im considering buying an electronic version instead of an acoustic version because im limited in space and i need to be able to adjust the volume so i can rock out at times and still make it quieter when i need to. the only concern i...
I got my Alesis Performance Pad (electronic drum kit with rubber drum pads) today, and after playing it for a few hours my right wrist is really sore. Is this because of my technique, or because of the hard rubber drum pads, or both? How can I make it hurt less? It sounds like...
I’m not too worried about the rat-a-tat tat from the drum pads, I’m more concerned about the kick pedal disturbing the neighbors below me. I will always be using headphones as I would like to be as considerate as possible. Does anyone have any experience with this? i wish you had a good answer,...
I have a real bass pad for electric drums, it has the same plug outlet as the rockband bass pedal, but it doesn’t pick up any of my hits. I assume this is because the bass pedal in the game isn’t supposed to be velocity sensitive. But is there a modification I can use...
In terms of strike and response, that is. Both are the same…Not much of a difference actually….If you want a silent drum training in your house and don’t want to disturb your neighbour,i suggest you to buy or use an electronic drum pads…If you want more professional training,you’d better go for acoustic drum…Strike and...
I’m no drummer, but I bet you’d just have to experiment with various soft things, mostly wrapped around the drumstick tips, and maybe some covering the drum trigger pads. Gauze, felt, maybe loosely-wrapped duct tape… Maybe you can find some really soft rubber/silicone about 1cm thick to place on the drums. You probably know...
An electronic drum set is lighter and easier to set up. You can record directly from the kit. However, it will never sound like an acoustic drum set. Acoustic drums gives the only "real" sound you want to hear. Digital drums can give you a few cool sound effects, however. If you are just...
