Electric drumset

by Spree • 28 Jul 2008, 18:26 • Journals
Buying myself an electric drumset for practise at home in a month or two. I have a few I might just consider buying (played 2 of them), but I'd also like to see some suggestions from you guys :)

I had these in mind:

Roland TD 6 KX - € 1.749,-

That one was really great to play on, plus it had some great feautures on the drumcomputer. I might just buy that one if I get no other suggestions ^^

have 3 drumsets myself already, but cant practise at home atm since its too noisy, so they are all at several bands I'm in. Want to prac at home though, preferably every day, for which an electric drumset is perfect. Just plug in the headset and play :)

Nah, it's really awesome actually dude :P You just press record, play your shit, and then you listen to your own record again and it sounds like albumquality, you know how awesome that is! :D

Won't use it for live anyways ^^

Just throw two microphones @ ur drumset, one at the top between the toms, put that on lowpitch high bass, the second one IN your bassdrum and put that on medium pitch medium bass, make sure the microphone in the bassdrum is covered by a dishcloth image: thumbnail_0_343875b7c3db529a82c53bf9aa3fea8d

When you've recorded the drums, give it a "fill" effect on your audioediting software, so it looks like the drums are everywhere when listening the records, that way you get professional drums in your records ;)

you don't have a clue how much drums cost :e my last acoustic set was a bit over 3000e. that was indeed very good one, but the best are more like 6000e or so.

You can't find a digital drumset with better or more realistic feeling "skins" than ones from Roland :>

Why electric drums not teh normal ones? ;o
▼
Spree 28 Jul 2008, 20:56
already have 3 normal ones but cant prac with them @ home (too loud for neighbours)

zivs 28 Jul 2008, 20:58
Oh, I see.. It's just that electric drums somehow remind me of 1970 - 1980 years and pretty much retarded music :D If I remember correctly, You were playing something more like metal things ^^

electric drums != electric drumset. An electric drumset is like a normal drumset, only then with headphones and digitally powered (sounds the same @ headset / speakers, feels the same, etc etc).

electric drums are generated by a drum-pc / synthesizer, which is what you are talking about ^^

Iron 28 Jul 2008, 23:12
I paid for the kit only 1400e, extra crash 65e (electric symbals are A BIT cheaper than real ones :D) and 330€ for pedals.

Never go for a budget set when it comes to drums, no matter what.
