Thank you. glad you liked it! I will actually be releasing some more "pure" music/drum videos on my digitaldrumming channel in the near future :) Kind regards
drumtecTV can’t wait for that my man! I still hate my Alesis strike kick. It double triggers badly, and can get it to latch correctly to my demon drives.
Wow, what is happening?! Foot technique is on another level... Apart from that, its good to see that these "smaller" cymbals still suit the set as well as in the previous video, gj :D
Got to say just watching you play makes my poor old arthritic hands and feet ache. As an early adopter of Electronic drums OMG do I remember them old simmonds pads, hitting them felt like trying to knock seven bells out of a builders skip and that stupid thing that only made one descent noise (heard it in “ring my Bell” so every covers band with a girl singer had to have one). Today’s kits with real feel playing surfaces are a real joy...shame I had to retire but still I got to take a few early Roland kits on the road. Whilst modern Edrums are much improved I still think the technology has a bit of a way to go to catch up with the developments made in guitar and keyboard fields. Oops this was intended to simply compliment you on your playing ability but somehow just turned into the nostalgic ramblings of an ageing drummer in the twilight of his years. Best wishes and yes I just subscribed
Do you guys ever have some type of contest to win one of your kits??? This one with the Pearl sound module is absolutely amazing!! I could only dream of having one of these electric kits...
The player's got chops, and the kit looks great, but.........the sounds come from the brain! Pair that module, with a far less expensive kit, such as an Alesis or similar, and it would sound exactly the same. There's no benefit to having acoustic shells paired with an electronic module, other than so called "stage presents" which I seriously doubt anyone in the audience notices very much or cares about........
@@dougcatuogno4603 Hi & thank you. Did you have the chance to test an Alesis pad side by side with a drum-tec, Roland or ATV pad yet? Although the sound per se comes from the module as you say, the physical & electronical behaviour of your pads/triggers will play a significant role in the complete chain, and affect the way your playing "comes out" on the other side drastically (nuances, dynamics, rebound, realistic feel etc). The acoustic look of the drum-tec pads for sure is a positive "side effect", but it´s all about high quality trigger systems, playability, feel & ergonomics in the first place (not to mention component & production quality last but not least). So having played pretty much every electronic drum product that´s available on the market in the past years on a daily basis, I have to honestly disagree with your statement :) Kind regards!
@@drumtecTV I don't disagree with your point about triggering systems and nuance such as rebound varying from brand to brand, my point, was, that the cost difference between acoustic looking kits and typical electronic pads is jaw dropping. My point is that in live performance, most drummers would not be able to justify spending many thousands more, simply for the cosmetics. I say this having a background in live performance, recording and musical retail experience for more than 60 yrs. Having said that, your point is taken and you have a beautiful product.
@@dougcatuogno4603 As said above Doug, it´s not only a cosmetic difference, but a huge difference in production quality, functionality/playability/trigger systems that make the price so different, they are not only "acoustic looking". That´s why I suggested to test all brands side by side, says more than a thousand words :) Kind regards!
I absolutely love your videos and you are a phenomenal drummer. However, I really wish you would turn up the ride. It is very quiet in every video. Can barely hear it except the bell.
@@Psymbob Hi, apart from setting up the trigger settings for each pad in great detail, you can also modify the volume of each trigger zone on the ride (cup/bow/edge) individually :) Kind regards!
Hey Markus, up to now all of the Mimics kits in our demo videos are stock kits :) but we are currently working on a drum-tec sound edition as well, so stay tuned! Kind regards
@@MarkuzP66 :-) The amount of room/OH in the module mix has a huge effect on the kit sounds I guess. Apart from that, there has been no further editing/mixing, I always record the audio directly from the module´s stereo output with only some minor compression/limiting to bring up the volume level. Kind regards!
Hey Markus, in my personal experience VH-11, VH-13, & ATV work & trigger equally well with the Mimic Pro when dialed in appropriately. But obviously, all three have a different playing feel / response on the physical side, so in the end it is up to individual preference which one suits you best. Kind regards!
Hi David, cannot agree on this, as the SSD5 sample library that´s triggered from the module uses round robin samples to avoid this exact phenomenon. I have done dozens of demos with the Mimic Pro module until now, and have never had the impression, that the dynamics sound unnatural or "machine gunny" at all. Especially when compared to other sound module alternatives. Kind regards
I'm honestly shocked at how good these sound. Wasn't expecting Pearl to put out a module like this.
You give me inspiration every time when I see your skills. Great work, keep it up!
Thank you so much Virag, glad to hear that!
This sounds absolutly amazing, solid drumming dude! The Mimic Pro is a beast!
Thank you Kim! :)
Wow! Great sounds and playing. Not only can that bloke play, he has a machine gun right foot. He also seems to like watches.
Thank you very much Patrick, I actually do like my Nixon watches a lot ;-D kind regards!
@@drumtecTV Is that the side view led one?
@@66meikou In this video it's a Nixon "Sentry Chrono" I think :) kind regards!
@@drumtecTV Cool/ Reminds me of the old Bulova one
that groove at the end made me wish you uploaded more playalong videos.

Even Bonham’s right foot is like “whoa! Duuuude!”

More videos like these please!
Thank you Carlos, sure to come! :)
here he goes again, making me feel like a novice drummer at best. he smokes.. those drums sound really good . sell my set quick.
Thank you Chris! :)
THIS DRUMMER IS AMAZING!!
Thank you very much! :)
Amazing sound!! Great Player Drums
Thank you Zabmir! :)
Can we get some drum lessons from Ralf :) ?
:-D

I'm about to buy the mimic pro but I'm concerned about this. Can the standard ride hits be made more potent without increasing the bell?

Great sound, great video!
guud laaawd....that set soundz guuud
Class sound, class player!
Thank you!
Queria ter dinheiro pra comprar um desses. É muito bom
is The Roland VH-10 -Hi hat compatible with the Pearl Mimic Pro Module?
Hey Rolando, yes it should be working fine with a VH-11 trigger preset. Kind regards!
He is so gooood
Thank you Christian! :)
Fantastic Stuff :-)
Thanks dude! :)
The drumtec Sounds for the mimic are very nice. Dry and well defined 👌What can I do to get them? I would buy another ATV China😬
Hey Markus, up to now all of the Mimics kits in our demo videos are stock kits :) but we are currently working on a drum-tec sound edition as well, so stay tuned! Kind regards

Any news on when you will get the AD-CH17SFX in stock? no one in uk are stocking them!

Why no ATV Hihat? Works much better with the mimic than a VH11.
I think, they want to show us that the pearl mimic works with roland cymbals too. They have many other videos where they use atv hats.
The VH-11 is way better than ATV hi-hat with Mimic.
@@akosballa7640 Exactly! :)

The best drummers are not musicians but their drum techs 🤷🏼♂️

Everything...but the brushes. 😫

Snare has that awful machine gun sound.

@@drumtecTV No machine gun with the Mimic. Dude is trolling. Prolly has a Roland module and is sad....lol
