Hello all!
I have been visiting this site for a while but just decided to join. I just wanted to say hello to my fellow V-Drum enthusiasts. I am glad I now have a place to share my love for the future of drumming, Electronic Percussion, lead by Roland. Just as the electric guitar took over the acoustic guitar, electronic drums will one day overtake the acoustic drum. The current technology is amazing and you are unable to differentiate the sounds of modern electronic kits and acoustic kits.
All my friends, who are drummers, are "Anti-Electronic Drum" people. They believe that electronic drums are not "Real Drums". They spend thousands of dollars on microphones, muffling products, new heads and drum sheilds trying to get a good recording sound but they still sound like they are playing inside of a coffee can. All we (v-drummers) have to do is plug into the recording console and our sound is perfect... every time! Not to mention you can change the sound of your kit and the actual drum type with a press of a button.
I have been drumming since 1987 and have been V-Drumming since 1998. I also play guitar and bass. I have a full studio in my house and have enough equipment I could supply a full band with gear for gigging with a singer, 2 guitarists, a bassist and drummer but I have no band... LoL. So I write and record all of my own music by myself. I cannot find anyone that wants to play the same kind of music. Everyone wants to play that "Screamo" crap and music that you cant understand a word the singer says. As far as V-Drums, I started out with a little TD-5 kit with rubber pads, then a TD-6 Kit with rubber pads and the then new CY-6 cymbals.. now I have a custom Roland V-Drums Kit that I put together piece by piece. A TD-20 Module, MDS-10 Drum Rack, 4 PD105's Mesh drum pads, 2 CY14C's Cymbals, 1 CY12CR Cymbals, 1 CY15R Cymbal, 2 CY6's Cymbals, 5 PD-6's Pads, 2 KD-7's Kick triggers. I am still currently adding to it. I plan on replacing the KD-7's with a KD-120 along with a double bass pedal and the VH-12 Hi-Hat trigger. This all started 2 months ago as an upgrade to my TD-6 kit and ended up being a completely new kit all together.
I know that a lot of people who are debating whether or not to purchase a set of electronic drums come to this site, if you are one of those people.. dont hesitate any longer! Go get them! They are worth every penny! Especially if you are planning on recording or if you need to be able to practice silently (for example: at night, while the kids are sleeping or if you live in an apartment etc.) there is no other alternative.
So, to anyone who took the time to read this novel I have written thanks.. I hope it was worth it... haha. If anyone has any questions about my set up feel free to ask.
