V-Club Set

[dexter]

Hi, my dad just bought me a set of V-Club drums for my 16th birthday. He also got me a Klipsch THX 200 watt amplified speaker set
to play them through. They sound great!!

But I thought these drums were supposed to be easier to cart around than real drums. It took me a long time to set them up! Is there some trick to breaking them down and moving them to a gig?

Three ways to speed it up.

#1 Cable Management: I hooked up all my cables, then combined them into 2 (one for the three pedals and one for the drums & cymbals) using zip ties. I then labeled everything with a labelmaker. I used white labels for the ends that go into the instruments and silver for the ends that go into the brain.

You can also get a sharpie permantent marker and discretely mark up your stands and rack so you can line everything up quickly when you set them up again.

I also recommend using the same drum carpet each time. Use a marker or tape to mark where each pedal goes and where each rack leg goes.

Very good points

Drool, I have no idea how you came to be a drummer. You seem to have some counting problems there!
