If you’re unsure which electronic drum kit you should use, please watch! We go over rubber pads like the Roland PD-8, mesh pads like the Roland PDX-8, and the RET Percussion Stealth Pro drum.

So Alesis DM10 … So Alesis DM10 Studio, its got real drum heads and are all 8 inches. Is that good?

I’m a guitar player … I’m a guitar player / home recorder and recently got an Ion kit to to learn drums so I could put my own beats down for my songs (also using EZdrummer software). I have found that I am progressing OK (I surprised myself)! and really want to upgrade my kit. I’m looking at Alesis DM10 studio / Roland TD9 s.
The Roland is a great value as it comes with the TD9 module (a 1000 dollar unit if purchased separately) but I’m going to check out the Alesis kit if the hi hat pedal works OK.

i dont know what … i dont know what to get, i have had acoustic drums but i dont have a place for them now.

I’m looking for an … I’m looking for an e-drum for a professional record (Classic Rock), what do you think is the cheap e-drum I have to use?? (of course one e-drum that i could connect to my laptop, because I think the sound that I can make with the supperior drummer are the best)

@MikeyVPT thing is … @MikeyVPT thing is the e pro is big like a drumset and whats great about regular electric drums is that they’re smaller they take less space and what i do is i mix it into my acutic drum set to get cool sounds

yeah, u could, but … yeah, u could, but the sound quality isn’t as good for electronic drum kits as electronic drum amps, or even keyboard amps
gibson00000000000000 on May 22, 2010 at 7:07 am
have u seen the … have u seen the alesis dm10 studio kit, i understand that the alesis dm10 pro kit looks way better, and a lot better for gigging, or transporting it, because of the clamps on the rack, but the alesis dm10 module has more sounds, more kits, but the roland has better quality sounds, im probably gonna get the alesis dm10 studio kit some time by the end of the year, if u have any questions, comment/mssg me back,i did lotsa research about it, and those were the 2 best kits i found, money wise

Some comments on … Some comments on how different pad seem to interact and trigger the software would help. As for now it is just the feel. But as more and more use software drums it is more a question of the sensitivity of the pad compared to the actual notes that can be triggered in, say, AD.

Have you tried the Alesis DM10 set? I want to start playing drums and i can’t decide if i should get a Roland TD4-KX or an Alesis DM10.
Alesis looks more professional. What do you think is the best?

The thing I have a … The thing I have a challange with is the stick play on the cymbals, and hi hat. The transition from open to closed on the hi-hat is very tight, with very little range in between, making it difficult for a lot of hi-hat nuances. I also have a challange with swells on the cymbals, especially using the edge. I have been looking at the higher lines, (v-pro, etc) with a td9 or td20 module, hoping that would fill in the gaps. The new pearl epro got my attention, but not sure which way to go. (part 2)

Thanks for the info … Thanks for the info Mikey! Great demo’s on the different heads. You definatly got my attention when you started talking about the drum software. I am fairly new to electronic drums, and have a roland td3. I like the mesh head on the snare (a must for me), and dont mind the rubber pads for the toms, as I dont do as much stick work on the toms.

Very informative … Very informative vid, thanx… There is one other thing I would like to see; which module to go with. Not a comparison of the sounds that it comes with but how well they work with drum softwares. Number of trigger inputs, ease of use with the software etc…
