Sure! You can put anything wherever you like and assign any type of sound in the module to it 🥁🤘

@@skiddleberrythats amazing thats exactly what i was hoping. Definitely gonna start saving up. Thank you for the quick reply :)!

Of course! You'll love it 🥁🤘

I have a Tama Speed Cobra 310 Double Pedal (There's a review on my channel). Those are the stock beaters that came with it. What did yours come with? That kit doesn't usually include a kick pedal. 🥁🤘

🤣 Thanks! I love that shirt 🤩 Amazon baby! 😉 🥁 🤘

I don't have direct experience with the Pearl pedal. The primary difference I see is that the Tama pedal has double chains where the Pearl has single. I can tell you that both are very good drum companies. I'm still happy with my Tama pedal after a year. If you're unhappy with the Pearl pedal for some reason then switch it out for a Tama, but if it feels good and fits your playing then you're probably fine. Also try searching for a video that compares both pedals side by side? Good luck and us know what you decide! 🥁🤘

@@skiddleberry thank you very much for your quick reply. And one small thing, do you see any difference between speed cobra 310 and iron cobra hp600dtw, it is the last question, thank you.

I haven't played the 600, but I find this: "the Iron Cobra 600's most unique feature is a reversible cam called the "Duo Glide Cam." A simple adjustment allows fast changes between a true round "Rolling Glide" sprocket and an offset "Power Glide" sprocket." The other big difference is the footboard. The 310 has a long footboard while the 600 has short. I have played a short footboard pedal for decades and that's one reason I wanted to try the 310. I actually really like the long footboard and find it to be very comfortable and super smooth. For me personally if I had to choose I'd still go 310 for the long footboard. As for the 600s dual sprocket, how much more power do you need in your kick pedal?? 🤣🥁🤘

@skiddleberry the same idea came to my mind once I started considering that. Thank you very much, I think, I will start with 310 and if smth goes wrong, I will change it for hp600) thanks again

@GesheleFit my pleasure. Let me know how it goes! 🥁🤘

That splitter I talk about in the TD-17 review is a great way to expand. You basically split the rim signal off from a tom and allow a cymbal to trigger it 😉 🥁🤘

@skiddleberry after I wrote that comment I remembered your video on it. Thanks

Of course. Yeah it opens up quite a few possibilities 🥁🤘

My pleasure! Thank YOU 🥁🤘

Nice! Enjoy the new kit. Let me know if you have any questions 🥁 🤘

So essentially we're rerouting the rim signal to the additional cymbal. So when you hit the actual rim of the drum there is no sound triggered 🥁🤘

I didn't have to dial anything in. I just have xstick enabled, put the butt of my stick on the head and rock the stick down to the rim for cross stick. Sometimes if I hit it too hard it will make the rim sound instead of cross stick. Do you get any sound at all when you hit the rim? 🥁🤘

Awesome! Glad to hear it. Let me know if there's anything in particular you'd like to know more about. Thank you so much🥁🤘

Thank YOU! 🥁🤘

It's my pleasure. Thank you!! 🥁🤘

100% absolutely. If it's in your budget it's a rugged reliable kit with good practice features that will last you for years 🥁🤘

Thank you ​@@skiddleberry

My pleasure 🥁🤘

Thank you so much! 🙏 I do have to fiddle with the hi hat occasionally to keep it how I want it. I use the calibration process in the module to get it pretty close and then I fine tune it with the upper clutch. Hasn't driven me too crazy... yet lol Have you looked into Superior Drummer? Different midi velocities trigger different samples altogether...like there are multiple sounds at different velocities. I think you'll find better resolution and nuance in Superior Drummer! 😉 🥁 🤘

You're too kind 🙏 Thank you! Yes I would absolutely recommend for a student. It's a solid kit and there are some useful practice features built in. It might be a big investment for someone just checking out drums to see if they like them. But if you're already into it and if it's in your budget, go for it! 🥁 🤘

My pleasure! Thank you 🥁🤘

Nice! Congrats on the kit and that's a great deal 😁 I have my kit set up comfortably for me. Because the toms are so shallow, I'm able to get them lower than with my acoustic kit. It's an efficient set up that allows me to get at the toms and cymbals without reaching up high for them. Less arm travel allows me to play faster between drums 😉 Enjoy! 🥁 🤘

I would think it would work fine. I'll take a closer look...

Just measured the diameter of my stem and it's 7mm. I don't think you'd have any issues snugging down on a narrower stem with the upper cymbal hardware. The lower controller part slides over the stem and sits on the base where the lower hat cymbal would be. I don't think it would be bad to have some play around the stem there. Hope that helps! 🥁😉

Thanks so much! Congrats on the kit. I just used the included hardware to mount the module... it's attached to a clamp with the plastic post that snaps into the bottom of the module. I like mine to the right and below my hi hat and behind left of the snare 🥁🤘

Glad you enjoyed it! I hope you can snag one soon, they're really great 🥁🤘

What did you not like about the toms? 🥁🤘

@@skiddleberry the fact you HAVE to use proprietary drum heads is a no no for me.

Fair enough 🥁🤘

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work to split a tom plugged into the auxiliary input... the splitting occurs at the pad rather than the module. I will test that to confirm. But yes, that would be four toms and if you split each rim off that would be four additional cymbals - or whatever you want to plug in there. Thanks for the great question! Glad you find the video useful 🥁🤘

That's awesome you've got those setups! And that you're grateful for it 😉 They're all great kits. Rock on stikkman 🥁🤘

Not sure exactly where you mean? 🥁🤘

My pleasure! Thanks for watching! 🥁🤘

That's a good idea! The wiring can get a bit unruly at times lol 🥁🤘

Thanks so much! 🙏 🥁 🤘

If you can swing it, go for it! I'm sure it's fantastic. Let us know how you like it 🥁🤘

Interesting. I've never even heard of that company. I'll have to check that out. Thanks for sharing. FWIW I've been very pleased with the quality, feel and sound of the Roland kits I've used. 🥁🤘

Efnote is the new top tier IMO, but it's super limited. It's got some of the best high rez samples but with roland you get more. It's not like efnote is that much better but all their stuff, even the lowest tier, is the quality of Roland's best.

Best sounds I've heard are from Superior Drummer! 🥁🤘

The Alesis Strata Prime e-kit is the only Alesis e-kit I can recommend. The TD-17 kVX2 is a good e-kit, but Roland does make even better ones. Also, pole mounted snare drums suck. After a while of playing, the pole will dip down and no longer keep the snare up, so you may need a snare stand. For about the same money as the TD-17 KVX2, there are other brands I think are better, such as Efnote. The Efnote 3x is about the same price but has bigger 3 zone 360° triggering cymbals, 4 duel zone tom pads, and the snare is on a stand. The Efnote 3x also looks a bit more like a nicer e-kit. The overall playability is about the same, with the exception of the Efnote hi-hat being much better to play. Sadly, I do not think Roland makes the best e-kits anymore. Roland kits are generally smaller than the comparable competition, and other companies have better, more accustic, realistic, built-in sounds. I only recommend Roland for the VAD kits with the newly designed snare. Alesis is budget friendly, but most of their e-kits I would not recommend. ATV makes good kits, Efnote makes fantastic e-kits, and Pearl and Zildjian make excellent e-kits if you have the money.

A rugged, reliable, solid kit was at the top of my requirements. When I was shopping I did look at some of the higher-end Alesis kits, but in my opinion they looked like they were almost too good of a value - meaning that maybe they spent more money adding features rather than investing in the quality of the components. My previous kit was an Alesis Surge, and for the money I found it to be good. However the snare died on me twice in 2 years. I'm not saying that Alesis doesn't make good drum kits, I just have found Roland to be of much higher quality. That's my experience. Sounds like you already have noticed that with the Strata. I would imagine the same to be true for other Alesis kits, but I haven't played that particular one. Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions! 🥁🤘

I recommend Superior Drummer software for unbelievable sounds. The Roland kits have great sound to begin with, but I find SD to be next level 🥁🤘

Thanks so much 🙏 Great to hear your happy with it! I agree, the hi hat alone is worth the extra money. I can't remember if I had to adjust to the bell, but I'm sure you'll find the spot and muscle memory will kick in 🥁🤘

I've been playing on mine for a while now. The bell is tricky but just practice. I used to be about 60% when striking the bell and now I'm up to 90% haha.

If you can't swing the extra $ for the KVX2 I'd still recommend the KV2 over anything else. One of the main reasons I bought Roland is the rugged reliability of the kit and I did not purchase an extra warranty. No issues here! 🥁🤘

@ Awesome! And last question. What speakers would you recommend for these edrums? I’m looking for a speaker that’s good enough to be heard for one room.

@@thejournalist8091 unless I'm playing with other musicians, I always run closed back headphones or in ear monitors. Even if I'm going through a PA with a band, I still prefer to run in ear. Part of the original draw to electronic drums for me was to play without making noise any hour of the day or night. Plus I think they sound better straight into my ear. You're the second to ask that today, so maybe I'll explore that topic for a future video 🥁🤘

@@skiddleberryThanks again for the answer. Here’s some speakers I’m considering if it helps your future video: a. KRK Rokit 5 G4 $149 b. Mackie CR5-XBT $149 - $199 c. Yamaha HS5 $149 d. Behringer Truth b2031a speaker $169

@thejournalist8091 interesting. I'll look into it. Thanks! 🥁🤘

I play with headphones or in ear monitors almost exclusively. When I jam with my band we run a full PA system, which would probably be too much for what you're looking for. Unfortunately I don't have any experience with a smaller speaker for the kit. Maybe some of our fellow drummers here have some good ideas?? 🥁🤘

Yes absolutely! There's some demo of that in the video 🥁🤘

It's a great pedal for the money! 🥁🤘

Thanks so much 🙏 My pleasure! 🥁🤘

That’s awesome! You’ve really made it your own. It's an outstanding kit with lots of possibilities. Glad you enjoy the video 🤘 Getting into VST isn't too tricky and it opens up an even bigger world of sounds and flexibility. USB cable to the computer and then you can play or record midi data so you can change your sound anytime in the future. Superior Drummer is my favorite 😉 How's the kit holding up for you? Anything wear out on you yet? 🥁 🤘

@skiddleberry I basically just have the module, cos I converted the og pads to acoustic, but I've never had any issues with the og pads,as far as the module, I've added lots of wav samples, never had any problems, the power block came unplugged one day and I panicked ,thinking something happened to the module, but it was fine 🙂, so I put a piece of gorilla tape on the block where it connects. If u haven't done it already, I recommend lemon cymbals, they are great at a great price, and they hold up well, I sold all my Roland cymbals and replaced em with lemon cymbals

@mikeydreadmastalski4345 interesting, I haven't run across Lemon yet. Maybe I'll check one out for reviewing purposes. I'm hoping the Roland cymbals last me for years 🤞 Glad to hear your module is going strong! That's why I invested in these 🥁🤘

@skiddleberry The roland cymbals will definitely last, I just didn't like the look of the Cy 8 cymbals, I slowly replaced them with the Lemons, they make an 18 inch ride,and cool little 9 inch splashes,plus they just came out with a 20 inch ride too

@mikeydreadmastalski4345 Nice! Thanks for sharing the info 🥁🤘

My pleasure. Glad you find it useful. TD-17 kits are great! You won't be disappointed 🥁🤘

I would have gotten the 17 if I had known 10% of what I know now. I bought the 07 about 6 months ago and it will last me for life but it's still more like a toy if you're intermediate or higher.

The TD-07 looks good for the money. I would get that over any other brand at that price. Plus you saved a grand that you can put into other gear! You can also expand your sounds a lot with midi and vst software like Superior Drummer 😉 When I had my last kit, all I cared about was using the midi signal to trigger SD on my computer. And you can always sell it and level up eventually 🥁🤘

Nice! Sounds like some nice upgrades. Glad you're enjoying the kit. Check out Superior Drummer software for even more incredible sounds 😉 🥁 🤘

I use Superior Drummer 3 software, which cost me about $400. Expansion packs are available, but I've been perfectly happy with the core pack. Superior drummer, in my opinion, provides top-notch professional grade sounds. They are some of the best drums recorded with the best microphones by some great sound engineers in some of the best studios in the world. As far as dynamics go, there are separate samples for different velocities within Superior Drummer. That means that you don't get the same sample played back louder or softer depending on how hard you hit. You get different recorded samples of the drum being hit hard, soft and multiple points in between. There is also a full mixer and effects included within the software. SD can run in a DAW or as stand alone. I connect my TD-17 to my computer with a USB cable and trigger those sounds. I can play in real time with no discernible latency. When recording, I'm only tracking midi data so that allows me to change drum kits at any point after recording. Hopefully you have a computer you can connect to. It doesn't have to be a beast to record midi data. The on-board sounds on the TD-17 are great for playing in real time if you were to run into any latency issues. So that means my rig costs $2,000 for the TD-17 KVX2 and $400 for the software. For me, that's far more in my budget than $6000+ It's just two totally different budget worlds. I always aim for the best gear I can afford. The TD-713 & 716 look fantastic, and I'm sure if that's in your budget they are incredible. I haven't had the opportunity to play around with one. I'd certainly be up for reviewing one of those kits if one found it's way to me... Whaddya say Roland?? 😉 🥁 🤘

Glad it helped you decide! It's a great kit to get back into it with. DW makes great hardware, so any one of their hi hat stands. They make great kick pedals too. I've been enjoying my Tama kick pedal lately - here's more on that - ua-cam.com/video/Q9u4X0N2O80/v-deo.htmlsi=SlT9Um8B3t1Vonzv For the throne, just get something durable and comfortable. I've got lots of lessons on my channel too if you want a refresher 😉 - enjoy! 🥁🤘
