addition. You can't see it, but I quad out of the brain. 1=kik, 2=snare(s) 3=toms 4= highs (cymbals). Then, off on the left in the entertainment center is a 8 channel mixer. 4 drum ins, 2 CD's in, 2 Tape ins...I can play along with almost anything I want to....while the kids watch the TV, which is behind that rid.

The other rig, is the road rig and is out in the shop, ready to load up and go.

:cool:

The roland V-session kit with a midi expansion and a few extra pintech cym-trigers...

This was a fun kit and it got a good beating!

An old picture. There is another crash to the left of the hat pad.

Ahhh, the wonderful Chameleon conversions. :)

Too bad Pacific stopped making those.

Currently, it's a stock Roland TD-6. Hopefully, I'll be adding to it at a later date. You can see that I have a mixer, CD player, amp and digital recorder (Fostex) that I use for the edrum and acoustic drums. I can also plug in a guitar or 2 and do some basic recording.

[tcraw1010]

I used to have a full V-Drum Pro kit with an extra TD-10 (three eToms accross the top). Unfortunately, finances got a little tight four years back and I had to sell them.

On the bright side, I did sell them (on eBay) for very close to what I paid for them from Glenn Noyes West LA Music. :)



Gonna make my own now. :D

im a little new to these electronic kits,how do you tell witch ones are drums,and witch one those drums are and witch ones are cymbals and witch cymbals they are?(on your kit)

You don't! There are no rules, you simply program your sound module to trigger a certain sound when you hit a certain pad. MOST people program the module so that the pads are arranged in a conventional tom/kick/snare/cymbals configuration with the cymbal pads up high, the toms mounted lower, etc.

BUT you could very easily have a kit comprised only of, say, bodily function noises. High pads trigger sneezes, toms trigger different pitches of belches. The snare sounds like a cough, and the kick sounds like a cheap Taiwanese bass drum (in other words, a big wet fart).

Isn't technology wonderful?

you can program any pad to be anything....plus, the brains have multiple kits avaliable.
That DMPro on mine, has 64 kits....I only have about 10 programmed. What I do, on my drumKat, I always program the same cymbal voices on each pad. Mickies upper left ears are splashes, upper right are chinas, lower left are the crashes, lower right are rides. Now, that is an upscale drumKat, and each pad is also velocity (hit) sensitive. Meaning, you can also program each pad to produce up to 4 sounds, depending on how hard you hit! way complicated and I don't bother.
the rest, well, you just memorize it. See the 4 toms and snare on mine? easy, and the ride and crash. The HH is on the left, right below it is my percussion pad (wood block) or a second snare sound (handy when going from a tune that maybe uses brushes on the verse and snare stick on the chorus...I just move my left had a few inches and strick a different pad). Right above the HH is another pad for percussion type stuff.
So....memorize it...no big deal. 100 percent of other drumers that have used my kit, only have trouble with the percussion pads and the drumkat.
that kit of mine, has, I think, 20 playable sounds on it at once....

I can see why it is worth every penny. That is a GREAT setup for practice, probably for gigging as well.

Thanks JLee. I bought it mainly for practice. I used to kill hours of time and money on renting out rehersal space just to practice on real drums. Some studios will give you a discount rate if you come in during the day to practice solo(FYI for SoCal's "Headway Studios" in Garden Grove and "Sound Matrix" in Fountain Valley do that.). Well, even though I was playing the real deal, the money bleeds out of your pocket. So the V-Drums, despite the price, were the best option in the long run. I've had them for over a year now, and I have not a single regret. Plus I'm blown away how durable the heads are. I have not replaced one yet. Nor do I need to!

Hey Tom, I dint mean to rub it in. :)

TAMA Techstars... Now controled with a Alesis D5 - Classic!

[nk126]

Here's my setup ... All pintech pads including their newest kick trigger, the "egig" which was inexpensive and small, but maybe too small? Having some trouble getting used to playing double kick pedal stuff on it.

Got it all used except the kick trigger, and it was a really good deal price-wise. Maybe I'll upgrade the brain and cymbals at some point -- The DM5 can't do variable hi-hat stuff and those Dingbat stick trigger things are noisy -- But I'm happy as a clam just being able to practice in my apartment

hey, the dmpro solves the hihat issues of the dm5. I like my dmpro with a Roland TD-7. works super. See about getting a DMPro on Ebay. I picked one up for about $400. Then, sold the DM5 on ebay for about $250. Well worth the $150 difference.
