      @@rayshearer Neither ( get the Roland TD-07 instead).... but if your budget is limited...get Roland stuff, it upgradable. The rack supplied with the TD-02 is the same rack supplied with the TD-07 and 17. So you can upgrade later to the PD or PDX pads which are far better than entry pads.
      The TD-02 is not upgradable with more cymbal/drum pads the TD-07 is, as it allows for an additional crash cymbal. The TD-17 adds cymbal expansion plus and additional aux expansion for another type pad (drum cymbal etc) however the aux on the TD-17 is assigned to tom 4 as a default, but its easy enough to reassign it. However, you will need to reassign it for every kit you use. There is not a global reassign, that I am aware of.

    I know im a tottaly opposite style player then sammus(willing to play anything but my skill set is limited) but i appreciate him making me want to play again after not touching a kit(outside of a short time at GC a few months ago) sense 2015.
    I loved playing for my Church youth group when i was a teen and i would always play to country and Christian rock songs in my house.
    Someone damaged my floor tom in 2015 and i never had the chance to get it fixed, i live with my mom in a smaller house so playing my old Yamaha would not bode to well for me, this looks like a perfect fit for me.
    Im 31 on the 23rd of this month and it is time I start playing again.
    Thank you Samus for inspiring me all these years to want to play again.
    GOD BLESS
    sincerely

      @ThiagoNeres1 the sound is decent for the price. It took me a bit to figure out setting adjustments to make the sounds I wanted, though, but I'll admit I'm not great with computers. It's definitely a closer feel to an acoustic set thanks to the mesh heads. But it does still feel different. The highhat peddle isn't perfect on response time, so I got low volume cymbals for my acoustic hihat and have it next to the set. Over all at its price it is still worth it in my opinion, but also I'd say find time and a place to practice on an acoustic set as well. Any specific questions just let me know.

If you play metal you NEED the expansion pack, it is ungodly the stuff you can do. I have a cowbell, slam snare on the snare rim, a punchy regular snare, a china on the expansion cymbal, a sick bell on the ride, a punchy zildjian like crash, a scary hi hat and an 808 like tom on the extra tom. I have only used the provided drum samples. Why you ask? Cuz i customized a couple kits a metal, indie, rap, dance ect.

    • @Zandooooooo
      @Zandooooooo 11 місяців тому

      When just using the one bass pad it comes with to do double bass it sometimes would miss hits because your beaters will hit more to the sides of the pad and not directly in the middle. If just using a single pedal on it you won’t have any problems. I initially modded mine by opening it up and adding a second piezo trigger inside it but I really wanted a mesh bass drum so decided to upgrade

    • @Zandooooooo
      @Zandooooooo 11 місяців тому

      If the drum module that comes with it is similar to the original nitro module then there should be 2 additional inputs to add an additional pad or 2 so you could always purchase a 2nd bass pad.

    Dude this is actually really good at that price point, i remember in the early 00s that an e kit sounding like this would be 1.5k easy. For 400 bucks, to mess around or learn this is a good option. Great video.

ALL OF THEM MWHAHAHAHAAAA‼️‼️ (double kick pedal and tom + cymbal expansion arrives this week)

    I just bought the Nitro Max with the expansion pack(extra tom & cymbal) and I absolutely love it! I was afraid some of the toms or cymbals weren’t going to register all my hits but I haven’t had any problems. I was also worried the preset kit sounds were gonna sound cheap but they sound pretty good, i still prefer using Ableton since it has more variety and better accessibility to sounds. I’d also recommend using a snare stand for the snare since it does wobble when playing heavy. Overall I love it and definitely recommend it💯

    A couple months ago I bought my very first drum set. A Tama imperialstar. I underestimated how loud it is so I bought a Roland td-17kvx2 to practice late at night. Then I had to buy another hi hat stand because I didn't want to switch it up every time jumping between kits. Then I changed out the perfectly good heads for Remo emperor coated. Now I'm adding more cymbals and stands to the acoustic kit. I barely know how to play drums and I'm spending way too much money lol. I wish somebody would have told me this is a very expensive habit.

    • @JamesBalazs

      Idk about mainland Europe but I just got one for like $480 (£380) in England
      Unfortunately more expensive than in the US but there are seriously no better options. The Behringer XD80USB was £20 less brand new but the module on the Alesis is so much better, it makes the Behringer look like a toy. And with people selling 5+ year old TD1DMK for £300 (~$400) second-hand, and TD07 for closer to £500 (~$600), if you can even find one for sale that isn't a scam... A brand new Nitro Max suddenly seems like a good deal.

PLUSI can use my double pedal,not w my Roland kit,1 thing I dont like is the hihat,but I'm ust to just the pedal w no actual stand,I have a newer DW 9000 hihat stand that is like the best hihat stand ever, but can only use it out w my acoustic kit, and thx Sam for the demo,luv ur videos bro,and Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!
