Hi from Sydney, Australia.
I'm actually an attempted bassplayer (don't throw your stool at me) who is old and fat, and needs to get an exercise regime going, so I bought myself a HD-1, and I'm looking for help in ... all manner of things.
It's been a really long time - maybe 40 years - since I have sat behind a kit, and there's a lot that I have to learn and practice.
My preferred styles of music tend towards blues and jazz, and so that's what I'm thinking I'd like to be playing.
But I'm a little disappointed in the default sounds that are provided on the HD-1. I find them to be muddy and booming, and that is making it difficult for me to play along with tracks that I'm finding I want to play with.
So ...
I am open to suggestions as to how to try to improve the sounds from the unit, and I'm especially open to suggestions as to what music to play (song names, artists, etc) in order to start to get some chops going.
I've seen some mention on the forums here of EZDrummer; is that where I should be looking to get some better sounds? Computer wise, I have access to a Macbook, and it has an XP/Bootcamp setup installed, so I can run in either Windoze or OS X workplaces. I have a Presonus Firebox that I can add to the mix as well.
So, any and all suggestions will be gratefully received.
Cheerz.
