@@earldrum I gigged for several years with a roland TD-9. It worked very well in many situations that acoustic would be a serious pain. While not the feel of an acoustic kit, the line into pa, monitoring, digital library and eq are awesome and simple. A friend of mine played roland for Mickey Gilley (The late Gary Cornelius). Mickey preferred the Roland because of the flexibility and practicality. No more drum cage for Gary's Pearl or DW kit. No more acoustic headaches. I would prefer an acoustic kit, but again, practicality. And the sound and feel of e-kits has vastly improved in the past 5 years. A local friend of mine uses e-kits in small "live" sounding bars. The roland was actually much cleaner sounding than his Pearl kit because of the electronic controls.
@@scottlowell493 thanks for the feedback Scott! I agree that ekits have come a long way! The new DW wireless kit is fun to play and many of the Roland kits with real drum and electronics look good too! My experience in church is I don’t get the dynamic range from the cymbals and most situations are all ekit or acoustic! I think a true hybrid kit could work but I love the feel of a real snare and cymbals! But it’s just my preference. Also, I’m stuck on edrums looking like six sided Simmons pads! That’s really the only ekit I ever wanted to buy! By the way I have a Alesis ekit on a shelf and an SPDSX … I have owned Tama TechStar, and Alesis D4 brain in my history … thanks for watching and the comment!
Great video as always I agree about Drum equipment brand new being unaffordable. I don’t know how the company stay alive with those prices. I haven’t bought anything new and well over 10 years. Keep up the great work. 👍
I think it your channel you do you. That said, i will never complain about you jamming on some jazz. I always love jazz and have started back studying jazz in recent years. You right too. A gigging drummer mostly just need a four piece. Even when playing a large kit i usually just play the basic 4 drums and a crash and a ride. I enjoy watching you play, it fun. But i look forward to your jazz and that beautiful custom flattie man that cymbal is awesome.
Awesome show Earl! I’m growing up in 80’s Ludwig drums were legendary but after many quality control issues the Japanese brand were considered more reliable. It was sad but true.
@@DrummerKeithScott thanks for the feedback Keith! The 80s brought us great Japanese drums Yamaha, Tama, and Pearl. I think everyone is making great drums today! Thanks for watching my friend! I hope all is well!
@@jametz66 we made it without any issues! But this was a crazy storm! Very different from other storms, no rain, moderate tropical storm winds, but over a hundred tornadoes! It was a little nerve racking yesterday!
Another great show my drum brother .... cool answers👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ... But, I'm sorry, did you forget my question about switching from the drum rack to stands, and why?😊😊
@@continumdrums2297 So sorry Lutz! I’ll try again next show! It was an oversight … I need a secretary to keep up with my question list! Okay I’ll try again next time! So sorry!
@@earldrum With so many questions, one can slip through the cracks... I watch every volume of your A.E.A anyway. So my question will come up at some point.... all good!!!!!😁😁😄😄😁😁
Wow, Earl, this is a great episode of AEA. I am a bit sad that I couldn’t come up with a question for you. Things have been a bit hectic here. We are going through a very difficult time right now as my in-laws aren’t doing well health wise. In fact my father in law could leave us any minute. As a result, drums and drumming is not on the back burner, in fact it isn’t even on the stove. We could certainly use some prayers especially for my wife and mother in law.❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
@@gregwonhoff7161 thanks for the feedback Greg! Yes, I’m praying for your family at this difficult time. I pray for peace and mercy for your family at this time of need! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. It’s time to spend more time with your family. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Last comment: I had slingerland concert toms in 1978/79. Mixed maple/poplar. Nice fat sound for what they were. A friend had 1976 (memriloc) rogers drums. Those also sounded pretty fat. The mixed wood shells with old school pinstripes or hydraulics really thumped. I do, however prefer a double headed kick. I used 2002 during my Bonham phase, but prefer a more complex sound like Paiste Signature, dark energy or even rude.
Thanks for the feedback Scott! Sounds like a great drum kit! I love Paiste cymbals … all of them! But I’ve played Sabian and Zildjian as well … I love cymbals!
@@earldrum When i played acoustic, I was "Catholic". about cymbals. Meinl and UFIP make some superb products too,. The meinl Soundcaster are designed to compete with the 2002, but are a bit more complex. The Byzance= dark Energy.
Great show, I'm glad you enjoyed that final sip :). Please explain what you meant by music in church being 6-2-4-1. I have no clue what that means, thanks!
Thanks for the feedback Vince! The numbers are reference to the chord structure of most modern worship songs. Being a drummer I’m not an expert on theory, I is the root or dominate chord in the Key the music is played. In the Key of C = I is C E G, IV is the F chord, ii chord is D min, vi is A min. I hope this helps!
@@dennishritz4677 thanks for the feedback and question! I’ll try to answer that one … but i have to check in with my wife and daughters! They buy most of them! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥁👍🏻
I'd rather have a solid kit that's giggable than be "that guy" that has an exotic high end kit that never comes out of the basement. I have a fondness for fibreglass kits because they are far more impervious to damage. I cringe when I see some dude and his $14,000 custom painted kit get unrepairable gouges to his shells. Accidents happen. I know dudes that make their money on a wrapped pearl export. The mic and eq makes the difference. FWIW: Both Eric Carr of Kiss and Gil Moore of Triumph had killer concert tom sound.
@@scottlowell493 Scott I agree! My 1979 Gretsch kit has been well traveled and has the scars to prove it! I’d love a beautiful new kit, but I have always been a working drummer!
I completely agree about the acoustic kit vs the electronic kit! The Church I play at almost bought an E kit, so happy they didn't!!
@@brent3760 yea the ekit for church is not fun! But I have done it a few times! Not fun! 🙏🏻👍🏻😊
