I recently bought an acoustic kit. I'm thinking about getting a ekit for practicing late at night. I thought about a conversation kit too but I'd still like to leave my acoustic kit as is so I can jump to that during the day when I'm not worried about the noise. The plan is to do most of my practicing on the ekit and applying that to my acoustic kit.
Great idea! Another option would be to use mesh covers like the "RTOM Black Holes" to lower the volume of your acoustic. Still more work than just moving over to a different kit you already have setup but much quicker than replacing the heads each time and it will give a more accurate feel of your acoustic kit. Thanks for watching!
All triggers are piezo electric. whether it be roland, alesis, ddrum. The only ones different... only because of the polarity are the Yamahas. Of course they will work well.
@@FrancoArea51 of course they are all piezo but different size piezos have different output levels and don't always work well with cheap modules because they don't have as many settings.
I can't find a dealer that sells the Tama Mesh anymore but this is what I am using: www.tama.com/usa/products/detail/mesh_head.html The triggers are still available a lot of places, here is a link: www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/DDRSKit--ddrum-red-shot-trigger-kit Hope these help your setup!
I find many contradictions. You say you don't like the feel of e cymbals, but you opt for the worst triggers. The false hits, the double hits, the almost impossible possibility of playing ghost notes. That's annoying. Another aspect is that low volume cymbals, even if they are Zildjan, sound horrible. That's also very annoying. You say you want to get as close as possible to an acoustic kit, but you buy the most basic module! It was worth every penny if you bought the Edrum-in midi interface. Anyway... we learn from our mistakes.
I prioritized feel over sound, so the cymbal sound and cheap module does not annoy me. But I agree that false hits can be a problem. I have found low volume cymbals that sound good and plan to make more updates too, I will release a an update video in the future so stay tuned! No mistakes, just improvements:)
Great video! ThanX, man!
Thank you for this video. Same issue with playing in an appartment and want to play a real acoustic kit.
Regards from Sweden 🎼🥁🎼🥁🎼
Great video, definitely helped me feel more confident w doing a budget electric kit. Thanks!
Great to hear!

I was wondering if the alesis nitro module worked with ddrum red shot triggers. You answered that for me so thanks.
Glad I could help!

I did the same thing as well, converted to a electric set
This exactly what I need to do for my Tama kit for my in home studio...
Where do I get the heads and triggers?

Thank you very much 😊
Got a Roland TD20K. Expensive but worth it...

You could drop 4 grand on a module.
