    • @waurbenyeger
      @waurbenyeger 8 місяців тому +1

      You can. And then you can save it as a custom kit. You just change the "voice" number in the settings. eg Crash cymbals might be voices 250-265. You just hit "voice" on the module, then hit the cymbal or pad you want to change (this selects it) and then scroll the number to 250 on the module.

    My first kit was an alesis ekit, but even that was too loud for my housemates so I could only practice when they were all out. I do think I got the most mileage out of the kit by using my own sounds through a daw rather than the ones that came with the kit itself

    E-kits tend to be overhated by people who haven’t used them much or don’t have a need for them. Many people need them for living situations and such and they are also good for practice and having access to a LARGE LIBRARY of drum sounds and you can get all your cool electro and R&B and orchestral sounds. The better Roland models are really nice

    Tbh I’m just on both sides, but Acoustic Drums are better. Electric cymbals are Mostly too small for me. And I have more room to put more stuff on the acoustics, meanwhile With Electronic, gotta pay the amount of a car for that one Alesis Kit. But the acoustics would go for about 100-10,000 (Based off what I saw) I mostly don’t even like the e-kits because I can’t really tune the drums (hoping that they will soon)
