DIY Electronic Drums – Homemade – Alesis DM5

admin — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 22:17:20 +0000

This is my homemade kit paired with an Alesis DM5 kit and module. I AM NOT A DRUMMER!! So I don’t care what you think of my skills (or lack of).
I started off with a bare bones DM5 kit. Purchased a used and beat up acoustic kit to “disect”.
I cut the rack toms in half making two shallow toms from each tom.
I covered the heads with fiberglass screen. (feels more realistic than roland drums, and yes I have played a roland kit many times)
The triggers are made with piezo transducers.
There are a total of 12 triggers including the Alesis pads.
Double kick pedal give the 13th trigger!
I find the DM5 module easier and better to customize than the Rolands. Since it is running MIDI, any drum software will work. Even the free ones sound great.

Trigger EZDrummer With Electronic Drums!

admin — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 10:49:07 +0000

This is EZDrummer in the VPT (Virtual Percussion Technology)system with an RET Percussion drum kit. RET recently contacted me to do a series of VPT videos to show how Easy and Awesome VPT really is. Here, we’re using EZDrummer, but any combination using great software samples of your choice is also cool.

I was literally setup and playing/recording in ONE HOUR! Not only was I very impressed by how quick and comfortabe I felt using this system, but the sounds!

I can’t even begin to describe how well these samples are recorded!

If you’re not familiar with software samples: They are ACTUAL recordings of ACTUAL drums like Tama – DW – Pearl – Mapex – Orange County – GMS – Yamaha – and Many others! Now, I can play an RET kit that feels acoustic, with the same look and sound of an acoustic! It beats using a module sound, hands down.

This truly is the future of drumming.

As always, please leave a comment or send me a personal message. I understand if these messages include massive amounts of exclamation points… this is HUGE!!!!!!!

Cheers to all, and keep on rockin’!!!

Here we have it! The BFD drum software, Alesis Trigger IO, and the RET Percussion Stealth kit.

This is just a quick peak into what I’ve found the Virtual Percussion Technology package can do. I’m hoping to get more in depth with the functions of the BFD software, Alesis IO, and RET kit.

If you want to see something specific, I’m sure I can either address it here, or for wider demand, in another video. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!
