It looks awesome! I have no experience with this but it would make possible to do a rehearsal at my apartment with the full band.

I ended up getting the Alesis DM8 Pro. Smaller than the big kit, but bigger than the small one, it's expandable and can utilize a double kick pedal. Anxious to see what low volume practice is like. It will make high volume practice that much funner to I think. We can get tight at low volume and then turn it out loud. And, practice can be captured direct into Logic. So Excited! Cool man I want v drums to! I keep looking at them I love the way you can use them for triggers for ez drummer, they sound real and with a good set of monitors would be AWSOME for jammin a full band. This Alesis trigger io seems to make things easier to use drums as part of your recording set up to. How bout A tour of your kit and maybe some samples, I'm real curious bout your new drums.

Congratulations on getting e-drums set!
We use electronic drums set in our band a lot for "silent rehearsals" (we play through a mixer and everyone has their own headphones) as well as recording. I think using a high quality VST drums along with real drummer played track (via electronic drums) make the track sound extremely realistic and good sounding. I think that with so much cool drums VSTs nowadays, one don't necessarily have to get a top end electronic drum set as even the cheaper ones can connect well to the computer and use it as a "brain" and get sound from there. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

No doubt Bogdan - I am VERY PLEASED with this new set. We finally have it all set up and earlier this week had a couple friends come over and we played around.
We didn't use headphones and it wasn't that loud at all - my wife comfortably watched TV a couple rooms over and she said we didn't disturb her at all. I got a Focusrite 8i6 in order to run multiple inputs into logic on separate tracks, however these drums have really good built in kits in the brain - but for this practice I just ran it USB and had them controlling easy drummer. I am so happy with this, keeps me from traveling 15 miles to play with a group, at low volume too! I also brought my Marshall amp home and am running it direct. My tone isn't near as good as Ben's yet, but hopefully one day I figure out how to get everything dialed in good. Here's a tune we practiced this week using the drums and the Marshall JVM410 direct, the bass utilized PodFarm 2.5 but still went in on the Focusrite along with the Marshall... Obviously the drums are a dash limited, only being a 5 set with a high hat and 2 other cymbals - but regardless, it's exactly everything I hoped it would be... https://soundcloud.com/lllspocklll/song-1-remix This post has been edited by Spock: Jul 13 2013, 10:08 PM |
