This has been asked before and i even had a go at answering it a while ago, but i can't find any definitive answers ...
Calling all you sound experts ... When i play my TD12 with Vexpress kits through my Fostex studio headphones i'm in total heaven, i hear every nuance, nothing is lost, BUT when i go through my Behringer mini mixer, nearfield monitors and matching sub it sounds like a tin can being kicked in an alley (well not quite as bad as that he he)
These are TR5 nearfield, biamped, flat response speakers with a matching sub 100w each,
The MP3 player sounds great through them but the kit sounds crap.
My own thinking is that headphones are very dynamic as the emitting frequencies are basically strapped to your head whereas with speakers the frequencies become airborn and bounce.
What do you think? are Vdrums destined for practise through cans only? needing a talented soundman to pull out those nuances in live or studo situations or use a miked acoustic kit?
Ok we have the threads but lets get some fresh perspectives from current members
how does yours sound? why is one crap and another so fantastic that i even think i'm getting better at playing ha ha i'm even embarassed to let anyone hear me play through these monitors. I give em my cans and plug in a spare set if they wanna hear me.
Would a huge PA equal headphones.?
