In this video I show you how to combine the best parts of an acoustic and electric drum set to make the ULTIMATE ELECTRIC DRUM SET! This set up provides the real feel and look of an acoustic set but with the low volume and convenience of an electric set. I used the Remo Silent Stroke drum heads to reduce the volume of the acoustic drums while pairing them with the Roland RT-30 drum triggers to provide the sound. I also replaced the standard rubber cymbals with the Zildjian L80 Low Volume Cymbals and paired them with the Pintech RS-5 triggers. This combo results in a low volume drum set, the same volume as a standard electric set, with the feel and look of an acoustic drum set!
I've been preparing this build for years now and I finally put it all together. Big thanks to my Patrons and album sales that when combined, provided the funds needed to purchase the triggers, heads, cables, and cymbals! Thank you all so much! If you have any question please let me know in the comments below. Thanks!

Total cost:
$400 RT-30 Triggers
$40 (on sale) Pintech RS-5 Triggers
$100 (Used) L80 Cymbals
$99 Silent stroke heads
= $639
Other parts I already had

= $1357.50
$639 + $1357.50 = $1996.50
Love the idea. I've never seen anyone add triggers to the Low Volume Zildjian cymbals before. That's way better than buying their Gen 16 Cymbal
Thank you! I had considered buying the Gen-16's but i'd figure i'd give triggering the L80's a shot.
DonutDrums www.stealthdrums.com/purchase22.html
here is a guy that makes triggers made for l80 with bell and edge triggering to. I think that's yhe way to go if you want to upgrade
Yup! I've been looking at those triggers for awhile. That's my next step. Thanks!
heey Justin youre also here xD
Well i'd have to disagree with you. I have the gen 16's and the flexability of having every possible normal cymbal sound is really nice. The best part is that it still is acoustic and that I can choke and whatever I want. Every possible acoustic sound can be made that is not possible with triggered cymbals without using multiple zones.
Great job editing. My wife was watching and said she's not even into drums but couldn't stop watching the video because it was so interesting. Very talented making vids.
Thanks man! That means a lot!
I did this to my kit about 3 years ago... it's a great way to practice at home, and it works great live also! Hybrid kits are the future of drumming for sure.
That was incredibly well edited, awesome job, holy shit
Thanks bud!
Amazing look at how this works, and one day when I'm foolhardy enough to try to get good at drums.. I shall know how :D
Thanks dude! Cool man! That'd be awesome!
Well I guess I'll be turning my kit hybrid instead of investing in a roland, great video! Thanks
No problem! Thank you!
One day... One day...
The day I have enough space, it's EXACTLY what I want at home, I'm glad it worked so well for you, and man it kicks ass! Have a ton of fun with it!
Thanks man! I'm glad it worked too! :D
Amazing idea. My question is about cymbals: choke effect, bell, bow and edge sounds of ride, and of course open and close hi-hat.
Great setiup. I did a very similar thing - 5 pc Pearl Roadshow + a Sonor Force 1007 (turned the RS snare into a floor tom; Sonor in a natural finish is my snare); ddrum triggers, Alesis Strike module, Roland cymbals and a goEdrum Hi-Hat. I have to thank 65 Drums for being a huge inspiration on that journey.
Woah!!! Matt, that looks so crazy good! Glad it worked, and can't wait to see it in action!
Thanks! Yeah, I'm glad it worked too. I can't wait either!
Great idea for cymbals.
Nicely done!
dude this is absolutely awesome
Thank you!
I love that. Great job. Perhaps this might be my answer. Thank you for sharing.
This is an amazing idea imma have to take a shot at this. Awesome video
Dude right on. Definitely going to do this.
Dude you nailed this
That was so well done.
Thanks!!!
That's such an awesome set up! I also didn't know the the Roland module had that level of customisation, that's incredible.
Thanks man! Yeah! That module was a crucial part to make this all work.
Soundole VGM Covers The fucker is expensive as hell!!
Fantastic drumming
Thanks!!!
i luv this video.. the infomercial style was great.
That was great!! Thanks for that!!
This is so cool man! So much fun to watch!!
Thanks dude!!!!
Because of this video I'm trying to do the same. I already have the set with silencestroke and the L80 cymbals, now is time to buy the module and triggers. I hope can post my set just like yours. Thanks for the idea
Holy shit dude!! This is so freaking awesome! :D So happy for you bro!!
Thanks man!!!
that's rad dude, great job and very inspiring!!!!
Thanks!
Great information! Thank you for sharing this. I would make my hybrid kit based on the info you shared!!!
Cheers! I am definitely trying this :)
Thank you for a very informative tutorial.
Thanks for watching!!
Wow, that's super cool!! Amazing!
Thanks!
that is an awesome setup, would love to try those!
Thanks! This set up has improved my drumming quality of life.
Great video. Saved me a lot of money. Kudos for you.
good stuff man.. great editing!
Thanks!
Awesome, cant wait to see what song you use these for
Thanks! I know! I've recorded one collab so far and now I'm recording my own cover today.
Great video
gr8 video mate! i think this kinds of hybrid is the future of drumming!
Thank you!!!
Can't even tell that's it's electric when you are playing! Great job!!!
Really awesome !!
Thanks!
Clean job man!
Thanks!
Great video, I'm glad I came across it! :) My church band, I hate playing electronic set but we have an acoustic set sitting back stage that could use this. Thank you so much :))
this was super educational and cool. I feel like it would also be cheaper than a electronic kit as well since you can get a super cheap kit for a few hundo
Very true. Adding up all these parts ended up being a little bit cheaper than a new V-drum kit but most cases will vary. I honesty didn't feel comfortable on the v-drum kit. But now on this new kit I feel like a "real" drummer again.
It would have to be cheaper. You could get a Pac-D kit for 700.00, and a new Roland V-drum kit is 7,500. The non-Rolamd stuff is garbage. Don't bother with it. Sounds horrible from across the room.
A decent E-Kit is somewhere around the 2k dollar price range. With what you've done it would be way less than that.
Much thanks! Good video...
Thanks for watching!
This video is crazy, you're great
Thanks!!
Very cool dude!
Thanks!!!
Awesome Matt😆👍🏻‼️
:D:D
Long ago, I built my own triggers. I had them going in to an Alesis Trigger module. Then straight in to my computer. Not hard at all. Yes cymbals were tricky as initially the double sided tape didn’t stick very well to the cymbals.
Nice i wating for special video of Zildjan cymbal with your trigger. Thx
one word dude
AWESOME!
Thanks!!!
Hi great video - I wondered when adding triggers to Zildjian low volume cymbals would come up - I did it a couple a years ago on Gen 16's - (link to vid using them..) I use them live in my covers band most weeks - I use a Jobeky e-hi hat - its brilliant robust and looks like the real thing.. On the ride i did need to add 'dampening' foam between the trigger and cymbal - without this the signal was just to hot with lots false triggering.. :-)
Thanks! Nice! Very cool info.
Great video!!
Thanks!
Haha I loved that infomertial intro!
Thanks! That was a lot of fun to film.
This looks great! Awesome job! I want to learn to play soon and get a practice set when I get my own apartment, so this was very interesting and I liked your editing. lol
Thank you! I'm going to release more videos showing the volume of this set without the drum module sound.
thx for ur experiment
Thanks for watching!
Great man
Thanks a lot!
Hi Matt, Thanks for the information and videos. I enjoyed what you did to modify your set to make it work and your editing!😊 I too am in the process of converting my acoustic Pearl set into a hybrid electronic set. My brother passed away in 2019. He played guitar and had a huge amount of equipment. I was the rebel in the family and decided to play drums😂. Rather the equipment collect dust I decided in memory of my brother to convert my acoustic set and let other fellow musicians use what they could and at the same time fund my drum conversion. I decided to go with the Roland 2 ply heads….. not cheap but look awesome. I have 2 heads on back order a 13 and 16”. Who knows when they will come in they are on back order. I am making due with what I have for now. I was able to get a used TD 30 Modular with a chromed rack, Roland TD 13 hi hat and 12” Roland ride. I am almost there, I need 6 more triggers for my toms. I am sourcing out used Roland triggers from Facebook MarketPlace. They will surface eventually I am sure. If you know anyone that have Roland single triggers I would love to reach out to them. I look forward to further videos. I might even partake in producing one of my own …… we will see about that. It is all good now I can play and not be the “noisy guy” in the room. “Keep on drumming!”
Awesome!!!
:D:D
Yess an FF7 cover, sounds so good
Great!!!its very interesting!!!
Thank you so much for this idea im going to build my own electric acoustic drum kit one day.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching! Good luck on your build!
DonutDrums did you ever think about putting two of the cheap triggers on your ride cymbal to make it dual zone? I may try that option instead of buying a triggering system from stealth drum since it seems the buying process for those seems a bit shady to me.
I tried that. I put two RS-5 triggers on my ride. One on the bell and one on the bow. For some reason the bell trigger never worked. It never detected a hit even when I adjusted all of the settings. I thought maybe the trigger was defective but when I switched it with another trigger that I knew was working it still didn't respond. Maybe it has to do with the way the bell trigger is programed. Not sure. Hope this helps!
DonutDrums well tbh for me I wouldn't mind going without the two sounds of the ride that much anyway even on an acoustic set I usually just play the bow of the ride cuz my arms are short and I kinda like the sound better anyways. Thanks for all the help I can't wait to build my own hybrid kit!
youre a genius sir
Thank you.
simply wowwwwwwwwwwwwwww..............not knowing what to say more than this............. wonderful..............
That's awesome. I've made a "sort of" electric drumset out of my L80's and the Aquarian superpads. Haven't triggered cymbals though, which is the next step. About everything I've done has felt better than a Roland kit haha. Yours looks great and sounds great too!
Wow Stephen clark! Non glamorous drummer here hehe
Non glamorous drummer!
I have had the heads and cymbals for a while now and its amazing how much more practice I can get in, but now I wanna start being able to record so I'm debating how I'm going to trigger them. I loved your video, one question I have though is do I need a module if I have a lap top? is there a way for me to use a software program on my laptop as a module?
@DonutDrums
Can you maybe do a special Video on the modifications of these cymbals? Maybe show how they work best/ pro´s and con´s? How did you trigger the hit hats? Ez drummer supports more than one trigger on a hit hat? Does this still work by using multiple triggers or do you have to renounce on them? Is a two or three zone ride possible?
Greetings from germany!
I seen something like this, about 7or 8 years ago on the guitar center website. it was an electric and acoustic set in 1. I recently tried to find it again but I had no luck. So it's really cool to see you made one yourself, great video
Cool! I'd be interesting in looking that up too. Sounds cool. Thank you!!!
This was an awesome video and a great idea. I'm a drummer but I dont get to play these days cause I miss church and I don't have a set.
Thanks in going to to that now
Expensive set up, but inspiring nonetheless. I know I'd enjoy having this.
Nice.
great video!! thanks a lot!
Roland triggers are the best for me, but i wonder if i can skip the cost of a roland module and use the ddrum DDTI trigger interface instead. Obviously, i want to use software with it.
Greetings from Chile ;)
Great work....have a question tho....how do you differentiate rim shot and regular snare hit....would there be 2 triggers on the snare....same with the cymbals....how would the console pick a ping on the bell vs just riding the ride....thank you ......
You're such an inspiration. I just got to win the lottery now.
Great Video! question please: I purchased a hi-hat controller to place the hi-hat on a regular stand, but I didn't get it from the video how did you used the pintech triggers? one for bottom and one for top? and how's the hi-hat response ?
The FFVII Shinra beat! Complete coincidence that I was re-vibing with the soundtrack recently and made a note for a bunch of the tunes to be my next practice plan😄. Hahaha so good. Cheers man.✨
Nice! I love the FFVII soundtrack. Loads of fun to drum too.
Awesome video! I've recently done this myself with sabian quiet tones and rs5's...quick question, what pad/cymbal do you have these pintech triggers that are on the cymbals set to in the roland td9 module? Thanks!
This is inspirational.
Thanks!
great inspiring video. Question for ya. With the silent stroke heads do you think there is less vibration on the floor? For example the kick or floor tom?
You’re awesome . I just ordered a new E KIT
You're breathtaking! Awesome! Have fun!
DD, this is cool! Anyhow im also interested on the desktop software u use trough midi. Right now im usung TD-3Kw kit and i want to explore more voices trough desktop software. Kindly share what setup should i do. Thanks and more power!
Great video really informative.... and your delviery reminded me of Eric Zoolander :)
haha thanks!
this is an interesting hybrid solution - I LOVE the low volume Z's as an alternative to the rubber carbuncles that normally trigger cymbals. I've been thinking about buying a Traps portable acoustic kit which doesn't include cymbals (just the stands) for conversion purposes. With the 'holier than thou' metalware - you would effectively have the best of both worlds. Now all I need to do is price these Roland triggers and decide between a module and software for the sounds. Then I'll be entirely disposed to TAKE ON THE WORLD!!
love the final fantasy VII music 🤘
That's it a GENIAL IDEA..
:D:D:D
You had me at FF7 soundtrack. Hahaha. A++
:D:D:D
This is soooooooo cool.
Thanks man!
Nice brother.👊
Thank you!!
Great video! Would this set be good for a live use scenario?
a final fantasy cover! you got me from the first second :)
I was thinking to just use the Pearl Redbox module with the ePro Live heads, coupled with the Zildjian Gen 16 cymbals, but your setup saves almost $1000. Great work!
Awesome! I looked into the Pearl module myself. Glad I could help!
Looks cool, and love the way you can get sounds from the internet! Do the cymbal triggers allow you to play the bell/cymbals taps (as opposed to crashing the cymbals) and get the desired sound? If not, Roland could may big money by introducing this, I suppose.
Lovely video i must confess. Is it possible to integrate this with live sound during a church worship service? I have issues with the loudness of the acoustic drums in our relatively medium sized Church. Thanks
Nice
would you recommend playing this kit in a live setting say bar, your thoughts on L80 cymbals being triggered for the same!
looks great. do you have bell/edge separated on the ride cymbal? do you have position sensing on snare? do you have tom's rims separated?
Kosmogonik no he doesn’t the triggers for the toms are single zone, you can separate zones in the module which allows you to use splitters to add extra pads. The snare trigger is double zone but it doesn’t have positional sensing. And he only put one piezo in the ride, you could isolate and add a choke switch and a bell zone if your module supports it...
Thanks for sharing your build, I've just bought all the parts to make my own diy e kit (some differences to yours though), great to see others doing this too for inspiration.
Question about your cymbals, presumably they only trigger as single zones with the set up you have?
Also, did you consider using internal triggers? Would be interesting to hear if you have a preference on internal vs external triggers.
Thanks!
Cool man! Thanks! Yes, they are only single zone but I ending up placing the L80 cymbals on top of my Roland V-cymbals and using them as the trigger. That enabled me to get dual zones for the ride cymbal. I have no experience with internal triggers but I'm constantly experimenting and I'd like to try them sometime.
Awesome!!!!!
Thanks!
have you had issues with the triggers on the cymbals falling off? I've been looking to do this same exact setup and thankfully found your video!
I'm still working on my conversion thanks to your video. What speakers do you use?
