Ok all, thought I'd just let you know that our band just wrapped up our first CD (Contemporay Modern Christain). We recorded at a local 'low budget' studio that used Roland digital recording equipment. I patched my TD-10 L & R Master outputs through my BBE 462 Sound Maximizer, then out to the studio's main mixing board. I used about 8 different kits, and kept all of the original on-board effects and compression in place.
What a fun learning experiance!! The studio owner was blown away with how easy it was to record the VDrums and to do the final mix. We easily saved a couple of hundred $$ by not having to mike my acoustics, as well as getting the volume levels set 'just right' by simply using my TD-10 faders. On one song we were all having timing challenges, so I just turned on my click track, and one take later, it's a wrap. Another 'first time experiance' on using a TD-10 feature!!
As I type this I have the CD playing through my computer, and I still can't believe how good the drums sound. This is the first time I've heard the drums in stereo on a recording - very realistic sounding. The TDW-1 cymbals are unbelievable!! Nothing electronic sounding at all, very natural with great depth and character (the BBE made a big differance for sure).
I am very excited about our next recording session this fall, and really expanding the possiblities of recording with the V's. If you ever get a chance to record using your V's, DO IT! You will gain a whole new apprecation of your VDrums.
And no, I don't have any MP3's (yet). Still haven't learned how to do that yet. I'm too busy having fun playing my VDrums!

...). The sound guy said - "Oh, it was easy - they're those Roland V-drums". This is a great testament to both the realism and the sound quality.
