Yes way!
Yeah Will!!!
@@3L3V3NDRUMS hey dude!!! Who would have thought hey 🤷 I saw you got a comment from 66samus on your lux aeterna civer! Sickkk
I see what you did there, Will! 😄🤟🤜🤛
Justin's a sucker for reverse psychology.
Man I love how I can drop out of the scene for years at a time, pop into this channel for 15 minutes, and have a solid bead on what all the manufacturers are up to.
Never change Justin. 'Preciate ya buddy.
Agreed been watching Justin for a while and I don't catch all of his videos but I am glad when I do catch one cause his info is always solid.
I hate how I can drop out of the scene for years at a time, pop into this channel and find that edrums are still overpriced and still sound pretty bad.
@@adamimberti6948 man, we don't talk about that part lol
@@adamimberti6948 I think I may just buy a cast bronze Black Swamp multi-sonic snare drum instead since they're about the same price as an mid-level vdrum kit :D

You dropped this 🫴👑
Thank you sir
You are so good at breaking down the pros and cons of each kit and, more importantly, showing why a certain kit for 1 person may not be right for someone else. Job Well Done!!!!
I just bought the Roland TD-27KV2 and I'm super happy with it! And I made that decision after watching HOURS of this channel to help me narrow down my decision, so thank you!
I'm sticking with the TD-17KVX because it really does everything I need to stay entertained and up my game. Metronome, music input and a great selection of sets to keep me motivated. The big plus is that I don't disturb anyone else in the house. Love your channel.
Your videos are exceptionally well written and edited. Great information. Drums are not my primary instrument, but I love them just the same, and would like to get the next level kit soon...so your tips are helping.
I ended up with the Efnote 5. Great kit and I've started to expand it. I liked the white sparkle better than the dull black wrap and being mainly an acoustic drummer before this, it's been really nice having a more traditional set up than the edrum drum racks. I also found it to have some of the best most natural sounds that I've been able to try out in a store. I'm sure Roland competes just fine, especially in that price range, but everything I got to try in store was usually Alesis and Simmons, and I really didn't like the vast majority of drum sounds.
Super Informative! I get really excited when you release a video.
The ATV EXS-5 should be on this list. Amazing quality, components and sizes (13" snare and floor tom, 10" toms, 2 crashes and 1 ride cymbal). Trigger accuracy is perfect, and the optical 14" hi-hat is very sensitive and realistic. The module has everything you need, and is really easy to record yourself and play songs. Definitely the best for $2000.
What about the Millenium mps 1000? Only 1000 dollars.. the sounds suck but great quality and u just get superior drummer
I agree. I don't know why ATV got passed up on this review.
@@AVANDERMUSIC i would try them first. I think i heard some people complaining about the triggering. Dont know if the cymbals are great quality either. Overall Millennium is always good value but good value doesnt always mean good
I’ve owned 4 Roland kits and my favourite electronic kit for practice purposes is the Yamaha DTX6 silicone. It was relatively inexpensive and the sounds and sound shaping exceed my other kits in terms of practical usage. The big thing for me is the tracking of my playing accuracy. Nothing has done more for my chops than this feature. It’s like having a hard core teacher keeping me in line as it exposes all my weaknesses. For hybrid live playing it’s the Roland TM6. Killer module at a bargain price and the most unsung hero of the drumming world in my opinion.
Very happy with my Efnote 7. Added an extra cymbal. I gig with acoustic drums, so it's important for me to practice on a kit that feels as close as possible without upsetting anyone else in the house. Having messed around with low volume hybrid set-ups, this is the keeper.
Agreed. Own the EFNOTE 7 as well and LOVE it.
I bought a EFNOTE 5 one year ago and then added a 14' crash and a 12' floor tom down the road. It ended up being cheaper than buying a EFNOTE 5X. This edrum is outstanding. HH triggering is superbe, playability and feel are excellant and most important of all, it's a blast to play!!
I bought the Efnote 5 as well and I may add another tom and cymbal down the road. Its a great kit so far.
The 5X adds a 16” crash with stand, 13” Floor tom, so what you bought should be cheaper.
@@listener84 true, but it's hardly noticeable when you play It.
@@guilhem8052 yes, all of EFNOTE’s pad sizes feel great.
Which one of these 3 would have the best natural triggering specially for the Hi-hat? Roland VAD504 - EFNOTE 5 - ATV artist series Standard. Thanks 🤘
Good stuff. I completely agree with the Titan 50 assessment. Definite buy! That 1250 though…. I think spending more time with it and you’ll agree with me that it’s really better than most in the category.
I've had the Alesis Strike Pro SE since 2019 ( upgraded from an old Roland TDE-7T ), I absolutely love this kit. I am a heavy handed rock/metal drummer and have used this kit to record all of our releases. It was the sizes of the pads and kick that drew me towards it, the module having individual outputs for recording is what sold me. To mention the internal trigger changes from the old Strike Pro, they replaced the plastic plate with metal. never had any issues with the drums themselves. The only issue I ever had was 2 years in, was the ride bell trigger broke..again because i'm heavy handed and I was hitting on the ribbon and it broke. Sweetwater replaced it for me and now I just make sure I rotated where the ribbon is to not smash it. The hi-hat as he said in the video , if set up properly, there's no issues, with that said, I no longer use the hi-hat trigger that came with the SPSE, I went to a stationary hi hat set up using an older alesis hi-foot pedal. I didn't need the HH cymbal moving up and down on an e-kit.
I have now expanded the kit to have 6 toms, 2 kicks, 2 hi hats, ride and 7 cymbals, with plenty of room for more expansion. ( purchased a second kick and module ) it also works flawlessly with Superior Drummer 3 ( SD3 sounds were used on our newest release, so all previous releases were the stock Alesis Kits).
Would you recommend it for beginners? I've never played drums before but it idk what will get me the most bang for my buck. I enjoy hard rock/metal and would eventually be able to drum some slipknot tunes. Can't wait to hear from you 😊
@@willferrellssweetnips I replied but for some reason its not showing up... short answer because I typed a whole thing before, is yes! if you planning on drumming for a long time.
@@RJDBand i plan on playing for a while lol. Thank you for replying! I will look into it further and make sure its a good fit. You mentioned you had a band? Do you have anything on youtube/spotify I could find?
EDIT: I'm a dumba$$ who can't read profile names apparently lol. Looking into your stuff now
@@willferrellssweetnips haha thanks!!! And welcome to the drummers club! Good luck on your search!! And thanks for checking out our band!! Hope you like it!
Can you elaborate on what the setting are for a proper hi hat setup? Been struggling getting mine dialed in and I’d love to know. I’m using the non-stationary setup so those particular settings are what I’m after.
Great reviews mate. Thanks.
A little surprised to not see ATV on this list. I recently got the EXS 5SK and have been extremely happy with it. I did upgrade to the 18” ride and it really hit the value vs quality sweet spot for me. About $3000 for next to top of the line cymbals, a solid hi hat, large drum heads, sounds I really liked, and solid triggering was exactly what I was looking for. Module lacks a lot of features but for a first time edrum user the simplicity really works for me
I was thinking the same. I just got the AD5 and love it. That said, I have nothing to compare it to, but for the money its a very nice kit.
Yeah, I'm guessing he docked points for the module. I have the EXS-3CY, and I love it. Granted, the drum sounds on the module aren't great, but it's an awesome kit for under $1600 regardless of the module sounds. Besides, buying a Roland synth with Supernatural or Zen-core drum sounds are fairly cheap these days, and it's pretty easy to connect the module to said synth via MIDI to get better sounds.
Love the content. Very informative video. Recently sold my acoustic to move into a condo and now am looking into electronic. Really considering the efnote 3x
We don't have many if any efnote dealers, but I just picked up the dtx8-m in Canada for 2999.99 CAD . Sweetwater has it for 2799.99 USD which is like 3750 CAD with conversion. They even said they had 20% off for boxing day. Love it so far, super easy to set up and solid as a rock.
I got a VAD706 and it’s the most fun I’ve ever had with a new instrument.
Well, I bought the TD27KV kit and 3 months later Roland brought out the KV2 version with the digital hi hat, better cymbals, upgraded module - for only a $100 more than I paid. Plus, the kit I bought went on sale for $300 off. Nice ‘kick’ in the ‘head’.
Great video Justin! Have a nice week.
best e-drum channel out there
Great videos! I'd like to recommend right after your intro of what you'll be discussing and just before the main stuff, do the thanking of your Patreons portion. Personally, I think it goes a long way.
Thanks for this sum up, exactly what I needed.
My overall feeling is that overall, good drum kits are way too expensive, probably because there is not enough competition.
I'll 100% go for the TD-27KV2 for the new Hi Hat. Though that's still on the expensive side, so I sure need more savings. But then I'll be able to play and practice the drums in my appartment, and record many demos or even albums :D
I bought the efnote 5 and really love the natural sounds, look and feel.
And for 2800e it's a bargain amongst the real kit lookalike options. I'm in my 7th decade now and tinnitus has become a big issue. This kit has allowed me to carry on gigging without choking up the sound of a nice acoustic kit because it was too loud. And the band love it now after a sceptical beginning!
Great pile of information.😀
Justin, Merry X'mas & happy new year to you & your family. For the most fun, nothing beat's a decent acoustic kit with nice cymbals. Agree with most of your selections. For me there is really only 2 choices. The Simmons Titan 50 currently on sale for $379.99 & The Roland 27KV-2. I have yet to play a better electronic snare/hi-hat/ride cymbal than those Roland Digital pads.. In-fact that will be next kit I buy. Thanks for posting.
Great run down!
Great review. Thx!
Looking forward to another version of this next year when the DWe SoundWorks stuff is out. I believe it will be a VAD706 killer. Also, ATV was left out but the module is a bit better on the EFNOTE so I get it. I have an expanded ATV Artist kit paired with everything from a TD-50X, aD5, and Mimic Pro and hardware/shell-wise, I think it's right up there with EFNOTE at a bit cheaper price overall. Can't go wrong with either.
Great video Merry Xmas !
I'm surprised that there were no ATV kits on here.
I'm just getting started with drums, and when I decide it's going to be a long term thing for me I'll be buying something like the Roland TD-50kv2 and expecting never to replace it.
I own the Roland VAD 706 and SPD-SX PRO, but what I’m waiting for is the DWe drum kit!! If this set can do what I need it to do….it will be a game changer for me!!!
I also just got the 706. It’s way better than I thought it would be. I literally jumped right back in and it felt super natural coming from an acoustic background. That SPD will find its way to me eventually ! Lol
@@MrStoutfool , That’s great! I brought the SPD-SX PRO to replace my SPD-SX se sample pad.
Excellent presentation
I got the alesis stirke pro se as my first acoustic kit about a year and few months ago. Still use it today. The hihat issues ive heard of is on the older model. I uploaded a few kits using ezdrummer and its pretty great. It also can record straight to the module from my phone, and It can crop it the files to make samples/ insturments.
Merry Christmas Justin!
Merry Christmas John!
Thanks for the video
Justin happy holidays to you and your family
Thanks! Happy holidays to you too :)
I just bought a Roland VAD307. Seems to be the "best for the money" right now (@ $2800). Using it for home practice and learning rudiments around the kit. My gigging kit stays in cases, so it's perfect for quiet convenient compact home practice.
Thanks for the heads up on the discontinuation of the Roland TD-17KV! I was able to find a set at the price you mentioned. I'm a beginner drummer, but am willing to bump my budget up a little bit to buy known quality, instead of saving a few hundred bucks on a gamble.
I think for my needs, I’d probably get the efnote 7, get an extra 18” crash and call it a day. If I need an extra Tom later, I’d just pick up an used Roland tom. The reason for this over the 5x is because I noticed that the 14” snare on the 7 has 4 sensors, while the snare that comes with 3 and 5 only has 3, not sure if that makes a big difference or not.
I really do love the sounds of efnote even better than rolands
The kit feels so good and the module is good for ppl who don't really care about to much of editing and controlling the sound, I really enjoy it personally
Thanks!
Love those efnote 3X toms, upgrading my KDX toms to those, got two great used ones so far from edrumcenter. The heads are much better than Roland's too, more realistic feeling IMHO.
3X kit is probably the best bang for the buck if you just need a good sounding electric drum that’s complete.
@@sganet_ Agree, love the three trigger mounts per drum near rim, excellent tracking and more logical than one center mount IMHO. If not for the module, I would have went with efnote, but needed at least the Roland TD-17 for proven staying power when dropping that kind of money.
it would be great to watch video about upcoming 2023 edrum sets
Can't talk about stuff that hasn't come out yet ;)
Pearl mimic module with efnote drum kit would be a pretty awesome combo
I really appreciate your review of electronic drums. I have an ancient set of Roland TD10 V-drums that I'm looking to replace. The market has changed a bit in the last 20+ years (go figure), so your review is a major help. I was leaning towards the Alesis Strike Pro SE but all I've read is that the hi hat is horrible. Played one this weekend at Guitar Center and found that to be true. Went to another GC location and they had a Roland hi hat on the Alesis set. Hmmmmm. Not sure where to go now...but your review is very helpful. Maybe the Yamaha kit?
I had the Strike Pro SE which I had to return due to no longer being to play due to chronic Tinnitus. It was what I felt the best e kit I ever owned was enjoying quite a bit. I had tried the Roland V706 in the store still preferred the Strike.
Great video Justin, but I'm going to have to disagree about the SD1250 module. I think you just don't quite understand what its strengths are. Having velocity to pitch and filter settings, Bluetooth MIDI, and a killer assortment of samples. You can build really awesome sounding kits in these things. The iOS app also makes it a cut above the competition. It is quite different as far as editing and creating kits though than Roland type modules, so it is a bit of a learning curve.
Did you encounter the same issue that Justin described related to the rim/head adjustment on the snare? If so, did you find a fix?
I know it’s very old but my 2box drum it 5 from 2015 Is still my favourite ekit ever, it’s just sooo good man
Never heard of EFNOTE before. All their sets looked really nice.
I have a Simmons SD600 kit that I bought 2 years ago. Overall the kit Is fine. Drum sizes are decent and the drum pads and are dual zone. The crash cymbals are chokable, but you have to be very specific on how and where you choke them. The ride is only single zone and does not cut thru like every other part of the kit does. The module sucks (major larency issues trying to interface with my DAW), so I replaced it with a Roland TD17 module. Then I had to replace the hi hat cymbal and pedal with used Roland versions since the Simmons equipment would only do open or closed. I recently tried the kit out in a live setting in a brick-lined cafe. The Roland module made all the difference. Overall the band volume was more controlled and everyone said the kit sounded awesome! I had to use an acoustic ride since the Simmons ride sucks. My next purchases will be better cymbals all around. It looks like Lemon is the way for me to go in order to afford that. I would have just bought the whole TD17 kit in the first place, but it was always just out of my price range. Yeah, NOW THEY BRING THE PRICE DOWN. Oh well I am good with what I have now. I still have my acoustic kit though. Won't get rid of that!
EF Note for the win in my book.
Thanks for the great comparison. I noticed that you didn't include the Roland TD50X series, such as the TD50KV2 or TD50K2. Those were kits I was considering. I'm a later in life attorney who gigs from time to time. Money is really not much of an issue and, therefore, have been looking at higher end kits. I have a very nice DW acoustic kit, but was looking for something fun to practice on at home and maybe take on a gig or two. I wanted something that sets up and breaks down more quickly than my 7 piece acoustic with 7 drum mics that we run to my own snake and then to front of house. It takes a lot of time to get the sound right and was hoping for something quicker on the set up and take down. Thoughts on the TD50X series kits in the above comparison?
Was going to go for the td17 kvx but got a VAD 306 for £200 more, seems worth it for the bigger drum sizes
You can sometimes get the TD-27KV version 1 for sub-3000$, although you won't have the nicer hi hats. Although like the td-17kv, it's a limited time thing
I respect your opinions & trust your expertise & extensive research. Would please like a Donner drum review
Hey man! I've only ever played one Donner kit and I wasn't very impressed with it. So I'm avoiding the company until they do something interesting
@@65Drums wow my son said Donner who ?
Hey Justin, have you ever checked out Boom theory Space muffins? I just picked a set up and I’m in love!
Man, you -need- to check out the Millenium MPS-1000. Like really! It's incredible, acoustic size, accurate triggering (even fixed ride Bell not triggering well they had on MPS-850)
-THIS- is the shining beacon! Just the HH is not acoustic-level perfect if you do very fast footwork on the pedal. But I've gotten it pretty nice with adjusting settings & learning to raise my foot a bit before the actual note when needed
I was in a store and I tried the VH-10 Roland HiHat. Cross out everything I said about HiHat being "pretty nice" - I had just never tried a proper edrum hihat... looking to buy a VH-10 at least now, it was ridiculously good!
Hey I am considering buying this exact kit. Have you experienced any major problems with it? I much prefer the look of it to its predecessors. It is 999 euro so obviously a big investment and I wanna make sure its not worth buying a more expensive one
As someone who's new to the world of e-drums, I find your channel to be an amazing source of information- thanks for all the work you have done over the years! .. I am finding it difficult to make a choice for my 1st purchase as the pricing and models available in Canada are different than what you have quoted from pricing in the States.
if you want a kit that will last you 20 years buy Roland. you get what you paid for and youll never see a professional relyin on any other brand period. much love Justin i use the Td 27KV every day 2 years not even a hiccup love this thing
Superior drummer made my cheap kit sound unreal !
we need more millenium stuff for the people who want big kits with hi-hats on stands for a budget friendly price
Hey Justin. Thanks for the video. Have you heard anything about an Alesis Strike Pro gen 2?
Hey man really great stuff you’re doing, by far the best information on e drums out there.
Could you get your hands maybe on the Millenium MPS 850? On paper to me it seems like a best buy under and around 1000$ but I would really like to hear your opinion
You were great as Spiderman 😉
Do you think the Roland TD-17KV2 / TD-17KVX2 is worth the higher price for the new cymbols? I am looking for a durable e-drum which I will use to learn but also want to use it for Rock Band 4 with a MIDI adapter. I also bring all my RB4 equipment to partys where a lot of people play Rock Band 4 on a weekend. I have an modified ION Drum Rocker with Roland Mesh Snare / Toms for around 8 years now and never had to replace these.
In my opinion I think EFNOTE is on another level
I couldn't find better than them
I even forgot about Roland
Dude that Roland TD17KV for a grand? Umm. Yeah that is absolutely epic price for that kit! I hate Roland as a company, but that kit for that price is never going to steer you wrong! I bought that kit used a couple years ago for $600. You won't be unhappy I promise!
Hey Justin, thanks for your great videos!
I was wondering if different brands of modules and pads are compatible. For instance, will efnote pads such as the hihat trigger just as well on a td27 module?
Is there a video covering compatibility of modules and pads of different brands?
Thanks!
I gigged for years with a TD9 Roland set, loved it and never had an issue. I also played in another band than had a TD17 for me to play, than I liked. I "upgraded" to a Strike Pro and couldn't get rid of it fast enough. It's not horrible, but definitely not Roland quality and definitely wouldn't trust it on the road.
If you are looking for the best of the best …Drumtec, period.
The price really went up since this video came out for the first set but it’s still seems like a good pick
Yamaha DTX6K3-X is the best for a flat. I do not know why I need full sized drums at home. Yamaha DTX6K3-X is of reasonable size for a flat and the price is terrific! It is absolutely great through and through aaaand: it is super realistic due to the silicon pads! And it is also plug-n-play with superior drummer 3 (because there is a preset for it). And you have enough money over to buy superior drummer 3 (and maybe the decades expansion, which is so tasty and jazzey - god I love that expansion pack so much). I have it set up with a DTX --> MIDI --> Focusrite --> USB-Hub --> really old Dell Laptop --> Superior Drummer (sound files stored on external SSD). It is just endless fun!
Before that I had Roland and Yamaha parts connected through an eDrummin to Superior Drummer. Was also great and unbeatable money wise.
Yamaha Stage Custom with foot blaster triggers. I unfortunately sold my TD-17KVX during the pandemic which then increased 25% in retail price.
E-drums are too expensive for me at the moment. I paid $650 for my entire stage custom kit, I feel like Roland should keep this in mind more over their desire to squeeze every penny they can from patents and name recognition.
You should be able to get td-17KVX quality for around $1000, because anything with a floating hi-hat is just a toy in my opinion. It teaches bad technique and looks goofy. I hope behringer starts making some sweet TD-clone sets soon :)
Merry Christmas Justin, you rule and got me enthusiastic about my drumming journey years ago! I still follow for the good vibes.
Unlimited budget, what is that? I'm like Justin, I'm not one of those people. Lol. Nice review, and Happy Holidays to everyone here!!
I've bought an Efnote 5 about 3 weeks ago and so far i'm quite happy with it but I expected more. It could be my headphones but it just feels like some things don't work as good as I imagined.
Though I won't sell it because i'm in love with the aesthetics and I'm pretty sure I can get more out if this badboy, so maybe people can help me?
- The hi-hat open or closed is a big difference in volume and I wish I could kind of change it separately.
- Also the hi-hat sometimes doesn't trigger well when I would hit it closed but then open it along the way. (Or should I recalibrate?)
- Playing with music feels like sometimes the drumsounds get suppressed.
- The snare doesn't sound like the way it should when I hit it. It feels underwhelmed. Soft.
8:53 You're talking about if I wanna play hard rock songs I should maybe use drum plug-ins. Can you do a video on this or tell me which drum plug-in would be a good one? Because I can't find any!
Hi mate. Great video! Have you heard of the Artesia a250? I think the sounds are made by efnote? I’m looking at this one because it looks more Like an acoustic kit and also is very affordable. On the other hand I love Roland. But this one is making me think.
Dayum those Efnote/Alesis kits are nice. I just want a kit that I can play at home that feels like a real kit and not a toy. Also never heard a module yet that impressed me.. it's all about those sweet plugins in my opinion so can remove that as a factor completely!
Have you done a review on the Millennium 1000, its getting allot of attention at the moment
Wound up purchasing Efnote 3x and love the sounds and feel. I have no compelling reason to edit the sounds as they seem to sound natural as far as electronic kits go
Hey steve I’m considering getting the 3X. How is the kit holding up? any maintenance needed?
@@aaravverma2893 it’s holding up great no issues. Just have to tighten the heads down occasionally but I’m loving it still.
Hello , i really love your videos ,and i just wanna ask you please, i am thinking of getting an e-drum for practice at home and i was thinking about getting the "Roland TD-07KVX" , do you recommend it ?
And what do you think about it ??
thanks in advanced for the answer
I still have my yamaha dtx 3 with blk pads .rite b4 they went 2 white..2007 got brand new .with mdr50 .2 sat. Speakers .the new 1's i need 2chk out. Tho..
I'been trying to properly choose between Yamaha DTX8KM and Efnote 3X like for ages and I think this video has finally convinced me to pick the Efnote: specially when you pointed its pros. Thanks man, amazing video as always!
I own the Yamaha DTX 8 kit and I love it. Not a fan of the hi-hats as I'm still trying to dial them in but overall, they play well with SD3 and EZD3. I just can't get the hi-hats to respond like real ones but I know that's the challenge with most e-kits. Maybe I should swap out the Yamaha ones for the Roland ones?
Hey Justin...I'm having a hard time finding a kit that has everything I want. What would you recommend for a compact kit with pads that also have a bell zone and allows rim shots on the snare,. and with a decent module that can create a big 80's metal sounds?
Currently playing a Alesis Crimson ll purchased 2 years ago. Bought electric set so wouldn’t piss off my neighbors with my original Gene Krupa Slingerland white marine peril set my parents got me in 1964. When I retired decided wanted to start playing again. Carpal tunnel limits me at couple tunes before numbness & pain sets in. Anyway, all the electronic sets’ cymbals are brutal on the wrist. Cut to the point of my comment, the snare drums I’ve played on different models are mushy at best. Was at Guitar Center here in Scottsdale Arizona the other day and jumped on a $1,000 Roland kit, don’t know which model. The snare had less stick response than my Alesis. Acoustic Drum kits are to Electronic kits as Veggie Burgers are to Burger King, McDonalds, & In-N-Burgers😂
I tried some nylon sticks on my ekit. They are a little flexy at first but easy to adapt to. Definitely less strain on my 60 yo hands and wrists.
Hello. Love your channel!
Do you think you could look into the Millennium brand? They are offering a triple zone ride, fully functioning hi-hat, and 10" mesh pads on their MPS-750x model for only $500. It almost seems too good to be true.
Great video! Thanks! So how interchangeable are the modules I have the crimson 2, I use it for recording, usb, through addictive drums, but the hi hat is useless, you can’t even use the pedal.
Hey Justin please do a td 27 kv 2 video !!
Peace be to you,
I bought a Roland td-12 V-Stage pro $5000.00
with vh-11for lower maintenance costs
than a real kit. I use Waves 96 k's in
Yamaha aw 2400's Into Bose L1
Model II's with subs.
cool Justin thanks! what's your advice on buying the TD27 vs TD50? (if there would be no budget limit, but that there is no use of all the advanced features of the TD50)
The Simmons sd1250 was on sale for $850 a couple weeks ago. Didn’t pull the trigger. 😢
Love your channel, but never hear you mention Drum-Tec in your "favorites." Just wondering if there's a reason. I recently chose Drum-Tec over Roland because of the 8" and 16" tom options. Just posted a cover of Rush/Limelight to my channel if you'd like to see how the extra sizes add some additional "acoustic feel" behind the kit.
Which one of these 3 would have the best natural triggering specially for the Hi-hat? Roland VAD504 - EFNOTE 5 - ATV artist series Standard. Thanks.
Yeah, but the TD-17KV can handle the 3 zone ride, you should point that out. If you upgrade, it'll work
I already own the alesis strike mulitpad so should I buy the command or Nitro ekit as I can use my strike as the module for sounds with the triggers? and be hooked up on the more expensive module with the command or are the triggers not going to work the same with the strike multipad as the brain, ? the difference is $600 here in nz between the nitro and command and surge options,
Can you also review Millenium | MPS-1000 e-drum?
