Think I'm done for now...

[stickinthemud]

I've got my TD-20 module pretty well maxed out, a Yamaha AW-16G DAW, a Roland SP404 sampler, and CD player and MP3 player for playing along with my favorites. All this is set up in my office at home. It's a wonder I get any work done!

[V(ader)DRUMMER]

Bravo! Well done, sir. Nice, clean and classy looking.

How do you like that 404?

[The Source]

Very very nice work sir!! Why am I not surprised you don't get any work done in there dude.. Love the 404, very sweet. Is that sucker capable of real time sampling/looping like the 505? Your TD-20 is "pretty well" maxed out?? Bah, come on man spare inputs are an insult to the V-drum gods!!! Move that desk and the computer out of there (unless you've got a vst sampler on there) and get to work.. blasphemer!!

[PumaPhreak]

Any more pics of that beauty?

Top Stuff!

A fine kit, well done, well organised and classy are those upper pads used as cymbals or drums?

[Michael Render]

Aw, nuts, sitm. You are not even trying. At least add a TMC-6 with some extra pads!

Seriously, nice setup. Having a kit in the office is a real temptation. I had to move evrything but an RMP-5 to the studio.

One nice and clean kit. Is that a fan next to the HHT? Bravo.

Nice set up Stick!

Source - I swear, every pad input is filled! I suppose I could use a splitter and do something with the unused rim channel on the kick, and I have not used the foot switch input. I suppose I have pulled up short so I can say I haven't gone completely overboard should the wife ever start clucking her tongue...

Puma - Here are two more pics. The box under my toms is my cajon (Peruvian box drum). It's great for the acoustic jams and doubles as a table for my mixer! The detail shot shows the Dauz curved arms that I use for the AUX pads. These are only $18 each, and are perfect for getting the pads where I want them.

Davey - I use the pads as cymbals and drums, depending. Mostly cymbals. That's one reason I advocate pads over cymbals when the question of filling the AUX channels comes up. Versatility!

Michael - Get behind me, foul tempter! A studio? Wish I had the room!

Vdrummer20 - Yes, that is a fan! My older son laughs. The tower to the right is also a fan.

Very sweet set up SITM. I had a bunch of pads left over so I recently put two of them to use as you did. I have several more sitting around with one input open. And, after seeing your kit, I suppose that will change by the time the weekend is over.

The funny thing is I thought I'd never play another hard pad again. It was a long time before upgrading to V-Cymbals and I was sick of them. But the versatility you mention makes them very practical. And, when playing a cowbell, the darn thing should stay still. I never liked putting one on the edge of a cymbal.

Of course you aren't really "done" are you? Can you say TDW-20?

Well I have finally proven to myself what everyone else already knew. I am dumber than a doorknob. Took the time to move some pads and attach a PD-9. Found a cord and geeze louise! I already used the last input (Deja Vu all over again!).

Then I remembered my old (and I do mean old) buddy Jman had sent me a splitter (ugliest think you ever did see!). So now I have to tweak some settings and get this thing working.

Nice must be lots of fun!

Thus the qualifier "for now"

Beautiful DW kit, Bobvan!

[PumaPhreak]

Love the Dauz mounts.

['lectric drumma]

Wow man! What a kit! I'd love to play it! Hmm.. the idea of having that in the office, can't imagine working a lot in that case. Very tempting though, the boss out of the office (YES!!!!) and the kit in the office. What a dream job! LOL
