haha well I don't know man. He looks like he's murdering those sets lol. But I'm sure he gets alot of use out of his drumsets, roland stuff is pretty durable.
Adrian Stutzman thats awesome man hiw did it go? I just bought a TD25k a couple weeks ago and I absolutely love it! Roland drums are not cheap but they really are the best I have played so far. Drum on!!
it went surprisingly well, I've only been playing 6 mos although I've spent a LOT of time behind the kit inn those 6 mos. I was petty calm until I say down and then my hands started shaking but I was able to channel my anxiety into playing and got a lot of compliments so I think it went well I absolutely loved it. I bought this kit after a lot of research but side I really couldn't afford the 30 I went with the 25 and I'm really happy with how ut plays although I wish I would've got the KV, but I'm just going to buy am extra crash and Tom.
I bought a td10 used with extras for $3000 in 2000. I’m a heavy hitter and a daily player. I still have original heads for the toms and snare but had to buy a new base drum head, I also replaced all the foam coned a couple years back. 23 years later and this kit still kicks ass.
solid tips Justin. I bought a used Roland TD-10x mesh kit myself. It's been well maintained, easilly 10-12 years of use on it when I bought it, and I beat the he'll out of it every day. It really comes down to initial quality and then maintaining that.
Love your channel. I just picked up a Yamaha dtxtreme 2s in mint condition that was stored in the original boxes for five years. I got it home and discovered an extra ride cymbal and the amp kit. All for $500!!!!
That's insane Jeff! I thought I got a good deal on mine for 1100! Not mint either but decent! You've got those cool pads with the red tone/ pitch/ etc adjusters right? How do you like the whole deal?
This is amazing! I just got a brand new Donnor DED-200 Max kit after an Alesis Command (which had a ruined mesh bass drum and none of the cymbals worked correctly) and I'm hoping it holds up a lot better!! Thank you for this video
My Roland set (TD-6) is 16 years old and is still in INCREDIBLE shape because I take good care of it. It gets played appx 3 times per week for an hour or so per session. I play and do't pound and tend to follow the common sense tips that Justin outlined here.
This is great Justin.Thanks for the videos! I have a pair of "Ahead" plastic drum sticks that I have been using since 1995! Actually, they have metal handles and replaceable plastic top halves. They have no splinters and are hollow so they are not too hard on drums. I love them! They have a nice weight balance.
I’ve had my DTX 9750K for over 10 years. Played almost every weekend, 3-4 45-50 min sets (clubs, corporate, casinos, festivals) and for me the cymbals/hats go out first. I put an extended warranty on my kit and pay it every year through the store I bought them. It’s about $100+ and if something craps out they send it out for repairs and give me a loner. If it’s unfixable they give me a new one. That’s it. It’s covered under the extended warranty. Develop a good relationship w/ your dealer. To also extend the life of my pads I put them on a rotation schedule. I number them and then record on the set list which order from that gig. Then I rotate them for the next gig and record that set up. Example is my main crash on my left gets the most action or upper rack/lower floor you then rotate them for next gig so that pad doesn’t get the same abuse. I find it really helps.
I have an Alesis drum module with an ION kit I used for Rock Band. Plays well so far with just a bit of bleed over from the rack. Great advise on cleaning the rubber pads. Basic TLC goes a long way.
Medelli makes a lot of the electronics for e-drums. It reminds me of Panasonic back in the 70's when the electronic stereo thing started to take off. You'd go out and buy: TEAC, Sanyo, Sony, Akai and Panasonic made all the electronic components for everything.
Great helpful tips here. Thanks man. I’m 15 and I bought an Alexis surge mesh kit because it was all I could afford and the best in my budget. I’ve had it for about 3 months now and, as I’m a musician playing in churches and Christmas carols events and sometimes public youth events, my drum kit is used on a regular basis, if not every day. I’ve noticed that the cymbals, as they are those cheaper, lesser quality Madeli cymbals that you showed in the video, are starting to wear a bit on the ends of the rubber, the hihat especially. I would much appreciate it if you have any tips on increasing the life of those, as I would prefer the kit to last as long as it can.
Great tips Justin! A while ago , I had a set of td-15's, they lasted and played great for two years, wanting to up grade, I sold them to a friend for his band. His drummer destroyed them in a month, some drummers are beasts! Doesn't use his wrists, starts at 12 o-clock and comes down like a hammer. 😂 Love watching your show! Marc
Just threw away my trusty Roland td-11, had it for more than 11 years and still works pretty fine. Bought the alesis strike pro special edition . I hope it will serve me well and so far I will consider it a major update from my TD-11. Hope it lasts just as long, I try to take care of mu drums very well so!
I actually broke my the kick drum pad on my DTXplorer before I broke one of the cymbals lol My kick drum head was also the first to break on my acoustic kit too 😬 (but I started using a kick patch and my the head has lasted years ever since)
Ah damn, I’ve got an Alesis Surge; hopefully it’ll last a decent amount of time. Even then, if something breaks, it’d still serve as a good kit to practice on - better than nothing!
these people want to make you feel like a peasant because you can't spend a thousand dollars on a Roland. don't listen to these sad losers. Alesis is absolutely fine, same even with some cheap offbrands on Amazon. Technology has come a long way
@@RapidVidsProductions True! You can always replace or trying to repair a broken pad or cymbal instead of getting a whole new kit. It doesnt even have to be from the same brand, since most electronic kits doesnt look too pretty to begin with. Also if your rack breaks, you can use acoustic stands.
Great video man! A few things I would have added would be to one, use the thinnest sticks possible. That way the sticks themselves lessen the damage per hit. I believe it is a big problem especially with drummers that are just moving over to electronic drums and just assume they are as durable as the acoustic ones that you can use 2B sticks on. Also another point would be to lower the cymbals as much as you can stand so that the angle of hit is much less sharp which reduces the attack on the edge, which is what also usually caused the choke sensor and edge sensor to go more quickly. Lastly with mesh heads to not loosen the tension tooooo much because then the stick will actual dig much deeper into the head and can put the cone or cones inside at greater risk to be damaged over prolonged use.
I read that you're not suppose to use wooden tips. I bought a bunch of plastic tipped ones from aliexpress (Yamaha brand) for that purpose. I also had to sand it finely so that the plastic tip was smooth (It had some casting crap)
It's true about the cymbals, before i went over to Roland i had a Alesis and one of the cymbals broke after about 3 years of playing, but my Roland cymbals wich i have soon had for 3 years still works like they were new!:)
Great Video. Can't speak for rubber cymbals but have used Plasti-dip ( spray can not the dip can) on my cymbals. Stuff takes a beating and it comes in different colors, even glow in the dark.
65 Drums RE Plasti-dip. Spray it on peel it off. You can get it at any hardware store or Walmart. 5 bucks a can go a long way. A lot people do their cars for new looks and protection.
The information about the kick-drum patch was huge for me, because of all the research I've been doing, the "no felt on a mesh drum" thing hadn't come up yet.
It really should be on a checklist of things to know before you buy a kit. Actually while we're here, Justin, would a patch work on a mesh snare too or would it just wind up being a bit noisy?
Thanks! I found it from the international music distributor and they're giving me a bundle for $1,089. $35 for shipping. That beats the 13 to 1400 price tag, for just the instrument itself.
Excellent video & Good info. Ive been playing an Alesis Crimson daily for about 5 months now and love it. I added a Roland CY-8 as a 2nd Crash and if I have any issues with any of the Alesis cymbals, I will replace them with Roland cymbals as they work perfectly on the Alesis module.
Cool :) but check on the ride cymbal, I don't know if you'll get all three zones of a roland ride cymbal working on an alesis drumset because roland Ride cymbals use 2 cords.
Really helpful...I think. Drums arrive this week. So I will see how the tips help in a few years. I went Millenium. If they are not Roland quality so be it because they are 1/3 the price in NZ, even with shipping from Germany. My kid and I will play them. He's young enough not to whack em hard, and I am old enough with tennis elbow challenges that I won't be able to either.
That inside of the kick drum is pretty interesting which got me wondering what the inside of the pads and cymbals looks like. Maybe if you have something like that lying around you could do a video with a closer or more detailed view so we could get a better idea of how these work!
In the past 7 years, I have cycled through almost every pad on my Roland Td-4kx. I've worn though: - 4 CY-8 cymbal pads - 1 PDX-8 Snare/Tom pad - 1 KD-8 Kick Drum (I mistakenly used a felt beater) Over the years, I've upgraded to: - 1 CY-12 R/C for my ride - KD-120 for my kick drum (and I use the plastic Roland-beater for safe-keeping) - TD-12 module - CY-5 for my crash So yeah, I suppose that I have a hybrid between a Td-4 and a Td-12 now. Those cymbal pads really eat away at your wallet over time though :/
Enough to wake the neighbors at night, and to break a pair of sticks on a rubber rim. I also apparently triggered a pack of coyotes beginning their assault with a single rim-shot. In all seriousness though, it got bashed by a bunch of my inexperienced friends a lot, along with at one point a bunch of high-schoolers thrashing on it while I wasn't supervising it (high-school battle of the bands). I've learned from my careless ways though, because my wallet has experienced some very repressive memories over the years.
The best way to make your electronic drum set last longer is number one sell it number two buy a Yamaha that's right folks a Yamaha drum set or Roland but I prefer Yamaha the quality difference is night and day thank you and have a blessed day
I play using 7A anti vibe sticks with hand-sanded nylon tips (to remove the mold seams). Nice and easy on the equipment. There's just no sense in using a pair of baseball bats.
One thing I can say is that he is right about alesis drum sets, They are not very durable. I bought a DM10 mkii pro from Amazon and I had to return it within a couple of weeks. But because they look so good and they are affordable When you compare Yamaha and Roland drums I decided to repurchase the Alesis DM10 mkii pro kit Again but this time I bought it with a 4 year protection plan.
Thanks for the videos man! I just got my first e drum kit, a Roland td17kvx. I had a question about hitting the sensor beneath the mesh heads. I sometimes come close to hitting the circular sensor that sits under the mesh head near the rim on 2 of my drums. Is this a serious issue? Are these sensors built to be whacked on or is it something I have to be conciously avoiding as I'm playing? Id love for these to last as looong ad possible, especially because I emptied out my wallet on them. Thanks man
Hi broo im new to your channel and i wanna say one of the best channel drums!🙌 I wanna ask if can you please do a review to millenium 150 mpx..thank you!
ive had my alesis nitro kit for 6 years and nothing has broken. but my crash cymbal sometimes randomly does a choke by its self so idk. but i am planning to but the roland td-17kvx kit.
Funny, the two cymbals that came with my Roland TD-6V were the first (and only things) to go--the bow doesn't play the programmed sound on one (although it triggers the correct MIDI note, for some reason) and and the bow doesn't trigger occasionally on the other (although, again, the MIDI triggers correctly). And I am in no way a heavy hitter.
You know whats funny. My mesh pads on my alesis died before my cymbals. I feel like they have improved slightly. I may be wrong though. I had a Simmons cymbal and that broke pretty quick. But my dm mk2 cymbals have lasted awhile.
Quick question, if I accidentally left the electronic drums on overnight while hooked up to an amp that turned off automatically after a certain amount of time..... and only discovered I left the drums on after returning to the area the next day.. is the sound amplifier absolutely screwed or does it need to cool down?
I got a felt kick drum beater in a bundle with the electric kit. It looks felt anyway. Should I replace it ASAP? What do I search for just to replace the head?
I'm not sure if this would be in the same category of this video but you can use different manufacturer pads on an e-kit right? I have a kat kt3 and I was going to replace certain pads with either Yamaha or Roland pads. And also in using those silent tennis ball beaters that KAT has for their ekits and I was wondering if there's anything better to use. I use PDP pedals but I use the silent beaters instead of the beaters it came with. My kick pad still works great but some of the rubber on the pad is wearing out.
Hi Justin. About Applying Protectant On Rubber Cymbals... Would "Amor-All" Work, Or Is That Too "Strong?" I Figured That If It Works For Dashboards & Tires, Then I Conjecture That It Would Also Be Good On Rubber Cymbals.
Hey man I am a drummer who knows all the basics and even some advanced techniqyues of drums.I am considering buying a TD-25K .Is it worth the price?Should i Buy It?
I wonder if it's better to use drum sticks with nylon tips than wood tips. Maybe there is no difference. Has anyone experienced some differences in pad wear or something?
I had an Alesis Crimson for 3 months and then a cymbal broke and then my snare went and then the hihat cymbal stopped triggering properly. Nothing but issues for me personally. I had to upgrade to a TD25 and I'm so much happier.
Mine came with the TD-3, at the time I got a sick deal on the TD-20 module for $500 (it was the flagship at the time) but all I had was triggers so I picked up the td-3 for $500. The real problem I always had with that was misstriggering or double triggering.
I know this question may be completely out of contact to what you're talking about in this video. But, I am looking for the Roland td1kpx all mesh kit Kama with a portable design. Is there anyone in the United States selling this kid? If so, could you pass that information on to me. The only ones I see selling it is either Germany, or , England. Thanks!
Hi Justin. I enjoyed this a lot. I wanted to send you a link to a TH-cam drummer who I just love but you are not on Twitter. I know it would not be cool to post it here, so how can I best get in touch with the link?
Michael Schack hits hard. Will his Edrums last long? Hehe.
haha well I don't know man. He looks like he's murdering those sets lol. But I'm sure he gets alot of use out of his drumsets, roland stuff is pretty durable.
I just played my "first gig" (in church) today with my Roland TD25K .
Awesome! Congratulations!
Adrian Stutzman thats awesome man hiw did it go? I just bought a TD25k a couple weeks ago and I absolutely love it! Roland drums are not cheap but they really are the best I have played so far. Drum on!!
Very Cool! I play for my church too.
it went surprisingly well, I've only been playing 6 mos although I've spent a LOT of time behind the kit inn those 6 mos. I was petty calm until I say down and then my hands started shaking but I was able to channel my anxiety into playing and got a lot of compliments so I think it went well I absolutely loved it.

sorry Justin I kinda side tracked your op
This man makes you feel like he's your elder brother that really wants you to get the best experience in your life🤣
Thank you Justin 🙏🏼♥️

Thanks for watching the videos! I hope they've been helpful

so funny how all those companies use the same cymbals:)

Have an Alesis DM10 Studio Kit, and have had it for a while. Holds up great, thanks for all the tips to extend the lifespan!
Great helpful tips here. Thanks man.
I’m 15 and I bought an Alexis surge mesh kit because it was all I could afford and the best in my budget.

I had my Simmons drum set for 7 years and the only thing that broke with the hi hat pedal because I drop juice on it
omg lol
Great tips Justin! A while ago , I had a set of td-15's, they lasted and played great for two years, wanting to up grade, I sold them to a friend for his band. His drummer destroyed them in a month, some drummers are beasts!
Doesn't use his wrists, starts at 12 o-clock and comes down like a hammer. 😂

hahahaha wow thats crazy

Well, that flaking on sticks seems to happen the most when people decide that it's a nice idea to make every snare hit a rimshot.
but.. I like rimshot..
@65 Drums 😂
Great video man! A few things I would have added would be to one, use the thinnest sticks possible. That way the sticks themselves lessen the damage per hit.

Yeah you could prolong the life of the pad if you use really light sticks.. But I use whatever sticks I feel like ;)
I read that you're not suppose to use wooden tips. I bought a bunch of plastic tipped ones from aliexpress (Yamaha brand) for that purpose. I also had to sand it finely so that the plastic tip was smooth (It had some casting crap)
Im a Sonor man myself. Nice kit
Thanks for the advises my friend. very helpful... keep it up!!!
Glad this video came up in my feed. Thanks as always!
Great vid as always bud. I've had my TD11 now for 2.5 years and I beat the hell out of it and have had no issues. Love this kit.
hahaha yeah roland stuff is pretty durable
It's true about the cymbals, before i went over to Roland i had a Alesis and one of the cymbals broke after about 3 years of playing, but my Roland cymbals wich i have soon had for 3 years still works like they were new!:)
Thats great!
Great Video. Can't speak for rubber cymbals but have used Plasti-dip ( spray can not the dip can) on my cymbals. Stuff takes a beating and it comes in different colors, even glow in the dark.
interesting, never heard of it
65 Drums RE Plasti-dip. Spray it on peel it off. You can get it at any hardware store or Walmart. 5 bucks a can go a long way. A lot people do their cars for new looks and protection.
Agree cymbals always go first. Never had a Roland go bad. I have a dozen Yamaha and Simmons sitting in a box that did though
Thanks for the tips dude
Great stuff.Thanks for the video.
With my felt beater, I just used Duck Tape on the pad - it protects it. This is a Roland TD-11KV btw.
+Turgut Kalfaoglu Gottcha
The information about the kick-drum patch was huge for me, because of all the research I've been doing, the "no felt on a mesh drum" thing hadn't come up yet.
yeah not everyone talks about it, but it's definitely a thing. Even roland gives you a plastic beater with each drumset because of this.
It really should be on a checklist of things to know before you buy a kit. Actually while we're here, Justin, would a patch work on a mesh snare too or would it just wind up being a bit noisy?
Thanks! I found it from the international music distributor and they're giving me a bundle for $1,089. $35 for shipping. That beats the 13 to 1400 price tag, for just the instrument itself.
Dude all of your videos are helpful and actually useful. And you just get to the point and dont waste time. One of the best channels of youtube.
Thanks man! :) I hate videos that take 10 minutes to get to the point
Excellent video & Good info. Ive been playing an Alesis Crimson daily for about 5 months now and love it. I added a Roland CY-8 as a 2nd Crash and if I have any issues with any of the Alesis cymbals, I will replace them with Roland cymbals as they work perfectly on the Alesis module.
Cool :) but check on the ride cymbal, I don't know if you'll get all three zones of a roland ride cymbal working on an alesis drumset because roland Ride cymbals use 2 cords.
65 Drums thank you very much. I was not aware of that. Do you know if the pro hi hat will work on the alesis module? Im told it works on the DM10 kit.
You have the best channel on TH-cam!!👍
I have an Alesis DM6, and I've ad it for six months. I already have two broken cymbals! I'm for sure getting a Yamaha.
Ouch!
Yamaha cymbal sounds are the best.
Thanks, didn't realize felt beaters were an issue.
Really helpful...I think. Drums arrive this week. So I will see how the tips help in a few years. I went Millenium. If they are not Roland quality so be it because they are 1/3 the price in NZ, even with shipping from Germany. My kid and I will play them. He's young enough not to whack em hard, and I am old enough with tennis elbow challenges that I won't be able to either.
How have they last to this point? I would appreciate if you tell me, because i'm going to buy Millenium MPS-850 soon.
That inside of the kick drum is pretty interesting which got me wondering what the inside of the pads and cymbals looks like. Maybe if you have something like that lying around you could do a video with a closer or more detailed view so we could get a better idea of how these work!
+radiojam I'll keep that in mind :)
With mesh heads i always use drum sticks whit a nylon tip, this i s personal experience.
Me too I use 14 's vic Firth nylon tips drum sticks
In the past 7 years, I have cycled through almost every pad on my Roland Td-4kx. I've worn though:
- 4 CY-8 cymbal pads
- 1 PDX-8 Snare/Tom pad
- 1 KD-8 Kick Drum (I mistakenly used a felt beater)
Over the years, I've upgraded to:
- 1 CY-12 R/C for my ride
- KD-120 for my kick drum (and I use the plastic Roland-beater for safe-keeping)
- TD-12 module
- CY-5 for my crash
So yeah, I suppose that I have a hybrid between a Td-4 and a Td-12 now. Those cymbal pads really eat away at your wallet over time though :/
dang how hard do you hit??
Enough to wake the neighbors at night,
and to break a pair of sticks on a rubber rim.
I also apparently triggered a pack of coyotes beginning their assault with a single rim-shot.
In all seriousness though, it got bashed by a bunch of my inexperienced friends a lot, along with at one point a bunch of high-schoolers thrashing on it while I wasn't supervising it (high-school battle of the bands).
I've learned from my careless ways though, because my wallet has experienced some very repressive memories over the years.
The best way to make your electronic drum set last longer is number one sell it number two buy a Yamaha that's right folks a Yamaha drum set or Roland but I prefer Yamaha the quality difference is night and day thank you and have a blessed day
I was thinking of buying a Medelli e-kit.I'd appreciate your review on this brand.
I play using 7A anti vibe sticks with hand-sanded nylon tips (to remove the mold seams). Nice and easy on the equipment. There's just no sense in using a pair of baseball bats.
Cool tips nice video Justin!!
Thanks !
Great video, man, once again you make my day. And thanks for mentioning me :).
:) :) :)
Yup I've had 2 Medelli cymbal pads crap out and need repairing
another great video, Jutin! I clean my kit with Mr Sheen multi-surface cleaner; it's anti-static and smells good :)
interesting, I've never used that stuff
do you think 'back to black' would be any good? it's used on car bumpers
Hey Justin hope your having a great day, I was wondering if you could make a video on Kat Kt4.
I've only owned that drumset for 12 days haha I'm still deciding what I think of it :)
Awsome video dude
Thanks man :)
The rubber rims are great but they make your sticks black and nasty but you can always get black sticks if that bothers you.
One thing I can say is that he is right about alesis drum sets, They are not very durable. I bought a DM10 mkii pro from Amazon and I had to return it within a couple of weeks. But because they look so good and they are affordable When you compare Yamaha and Roland drums I decided to repurchase the Alesis DM10 mkii pro kit Again but this time I bought it with a 4 year protection plan.
Thanks for letting us know about your experience with the MKII Pro, not many reviews on it out there
How long do regular cymbals last? Nothing last forever and any instrument needs maintenance over the years am I wrong?
I love Roland Yamaha but I am going to buy karlsbro500 so could you make a video on karlsbro500
Thanks for the videos man! I just got my first e drum kit, a Roland td17kvx. I had a question about hitting the sensor beneath the mesh heads. I sometimes come close to hitting the circular sensor that sits under the mesh head near the rim on 2 of my drums. Is this a serious issue? Are these sensors built to be whacked on or is it something I have to be conciously avoiding as I'm playing? Id love for these to last as looong ad possible, especially because I emptied out my wallet on them. Thanks man
thanks

Tip: Replace Rubber Symbals with Silent Metal Practice Symbals
Hi broo im new to your channel and i wanna say one of the best channel drums!🙌
I wanna ask if can you please do a review to millenium 150 mpx..thank you!
ive had my alesis nitro kit for 6 years and nothing has broken. but my crash cymbal sometimes randomly does a choke by its self so idk. but i am planning to but the roland td-17kvx kit.
Funny, the two cymbals that came with my Roland TD-6V were the first (and only things) to go--the bow doesn't play the programmed sound on one (although it triggers the correct MIDI note, for some reason) and and the bow doesn't trigger occasionally on the other (although, again, the MIDI triggers correctly). And I am in no way a heavy hitter.
You know whats funny. My mesh pads on my alesis died before my cymbals. I feel like they have improved slightly. I may be wrong though. I had a Simmons cymbal and that broke pretty quick. But my dm mk2 cymbals have lasted awhile.
I know this is an older video but would you say the striker pro SE is a this is A E kit that's gonna hold up
Quick question, if I accidentally left the electronic drums on overnight while hooked up to an amp that turned off automatically after a certain amount of time..... and only discovered I left the drums on after returning to the area the next day.. is the sound amplifier absolutely screwed or does it need to cool down?
I got a felt kick drum beater in a bundle with the electric kit. It looks felt anyway. Should I replace it ASAP? What do I search for just to replace the head?
Great Video
Thanks!
If you are a super heavy hitter then I don't care what kind of edrums you buy, you will be destroying parts of it in time.
I quit using wood tips with the vdrums pretty early.The mesh pads wear off the tip varnish, and then they mark up the cymbal pads.
I still use them
65 Drums you have the black rubber cymbals. The Metallic Grey ones really get marks easily, though not permanent in my case.
My brothers td50 had those stick marks. When I pointed out to him that I never got marks like that from my nylon tips he switched.
Are AHEAD and/or VIC FIRTH TITAN drum sticks, ok to use with *Mesh Head* Electronic Drum Kits? Like a 7A maybe?
Hey man i got the calsbro cd30 m and it's lasted me like 4 years now but have you got any tips to keep it last longer?
Is there any cleaner you can use to remove black marks on mesh heads?
I'm not sure if this would be in the same category of this video but you can use different manufacturer pads on an e-kit right? I have a kat kt3 and I was going to replace certain pads with either Yamaha or Roland pads. And also in using those silent tennis ball beaters that KAT has for their ekits and I was wondering if there's anything better to use. I use PDP pedals but I use the silent beaters instead of the beaters it came with. My kick pad still works great but some of the rubber on the pad is wearing out.
Hi Justin. About Applying Protectant On Rubber Cymbals... Would "Amor-All" Work, Or Is That Too "Strong?" I Figured That If It Works For Dashboards & Tires, Then I Conjecture That It Would Also Be Good On Rubber Cymbals.
I use 303 protectant but armor all should be fine.
I have an alesis Surge drumset, is it possible to upgrade the cymbals? And yeah the kick drum broke already but I managed to fixed it
Hi i just bought an edrums 3days back, is it normal that the foam of the bass kick pad get soften for some time? Pls help, thanks
Hey what do you think of Rock jam electric drums?
Hey man I am a drummer who knows all the basics and even some advanced techniqyues of drums.I am considering buying a TD-25K .Is it worth the price?Should i Buy It?
Its a great drumset if you can afford it :)
I wonder if it's better to use drum sticks with nylon tips than wood tips. Maybe there is no difference. Has anyone experienced some differences in pad wear or something?
+BPKarlToffel I made a video on this, either is fine.
Make a video on which kt kit to get
I killed a Yamaha snare. I have a heavy left hand. Bought yamaha cause I wanted the best I could afford. New pad cost too much for me right now...
I had an Alesis Crimson for 3 months and then a cymbal broke and then my snare went and then the hihat cymbal stopped triggering properly. Nothing but issues for me personally. I had to upgrade to a TD25 and I'm so much happier.
Wow, that's pretty bad :(
What is the orange drum set in the thumbnail ?
what's that orange kit in the thumbnail? looks huge but probably not good quality
Its a drumset by XM. Taiwan company
to be honest my roland cy6 look exactly the same as those, anyone know who makes the roland cymbols?
Please do a vid on aroma since there aren’t that many videos on them
They aren't very good unfortunately, I played them.
65 Drums ok thanks🙂 At least I’m speaking to a fabulous youtuber
@@jethronowameh8991 haha! Thanks dude!
4:15 lol you play violin with cymbals?
Hey, i was wondering how to easily upgrade a Roland TD-11.
+Theron Lutes buy bigger pads or a new module or a new rack.
Thanks
I'd add that if you angle your cymbals down acoustic or electric, they last much much longer
good tip
Aren't the older Roland cymbals the same? Those look exactly like the Roland cymbals I have.
+ed salisch I think you're talking about the Cy8 cymbals that come in the td11? They are different not the same company.
Mine came with the TD-3, at the time I got a sick deal on the TD-20 module for $500 (it was the flagship at the time) but all I had was triggers so I picked up the td-3 for $500. The real problem I always had with that was misstriggering or double triggering.
im new to this , could i buy yamaha cymbals and use them with my elesis crimson ?
+Ron Bernard Possibly. But you might not get all the zones working 100%
I like how he's just throwing to the side his spare electric drum parts lol
I know this question may be completely out of contact to what you're talking about in this video. But, I am looking for the Roland td1kpx all mesh kit Kama with a portable design. Is there anyone in the United States selling this kid? If so, could you pass that information on to me. The only ones I see selling it is either Germany, or , England.
Thanks!
I've never seen one here in the United states either. I did see one being sold on ebay once though
I hope I still have more years on my Medeli set.
+The EdgeCrusher which module is it?
It's the DD518DX.
👍🏼
Hi Justin. I enjoyed this a lot. I wanted to send you a link to a TH-cam drummer who I just love but you are not on Twitter. I know it would not be cool to post it here, so how can I best get in touch with the link?
facebook :)
Well I just sent it on Facebook, but warning this drummer is soooo addictive!!!
Also I hope you will let me know if you liked, but please do not fall in love with her!
