Hello everyone,
I'd like to start off by saying that I am very new to electronic drumming and that I am excited of all the possibilities that it can open up for me and that this is one very good forum!
Secondly I have a few questions...
I am giving serious thought to buying some triggers and a drum module for my current acoustic drumkit. A few facts...
-I want to trigger the drums only (Yamaha Power V 5pc) and mic the cymbals seperately, so cymbal sound in the module is not of huge concern.
-I, like everyone else, is looking for a good module that is cost efficient. But I am willing to pay more money for a better quality unit if need be.
-I play metal/hard rock types of music, so I am aiming for tight, quick, and deep (deep not absolutely necessary though) bass drum sound, deep, heavy tom sound (ie. Pantera, Meshuggah), and a wide-open, deep snare drum sound (ala Fear Factory Demanufacture, Pantera Far Beyond Driven).
-This will be mostly for live situations, but if it can sound nice enough, I will also use in the studio - since the music that I will be playing doesn't call for extremely detailed drum sound, only intense and powerful sound (sometimes even "processed-like" drum sound).
I am torn between the TD-6 and the TD-8 modules, but I think I have decided on DDRUM triggers. Has anyone been in this similar situation? I would appreciate if someone could kind-of point me in the right direction as to a good enough module to to do what I want it to do, going by the criteria stated above. Many, many thanks!
