setting up a recording studio isn't as expensive as it used to be, you could do it for less money than the top end version of this kit. Main reason is noise, I use an electric kit to practice at night, it's great for working out sticking ideas etc, but I hate the sound and feel of it, but it serves its purpose well. A lot of sample replacement on commercial recordings is done using the actual acoustic kit used, just cleaned up and replaced, and they will also layer other sounds with drumagog
I wonder how these would compare to the Drumit TwoBox mk2. I own that kit and I love how acoustic it sounds. I think that Roland can't compare those soundwise
Like you could notice the diference. I like the "acoustic purists" and their talk when it comes to the drum samples. Well, big surprise, a LOT of drummers nowadays record with triggers, because not everyone has the money to buy a full set of qualitty recording mic's and the means to transport them.
@AttractiveNinjaMan this is one thing , in Malaysia, secondly , they just had this clinic to a "select audience". wonder how they selected, probably most of them there aren't even drummers.
@ZildjianL4D2 @credative lol you're both wrong. ZL4D2 meant rim clicking, not rim shots. and in longer than 9 years, being on forums and getting lessons from a vast majority of people, i've never heard a rim click referred to as a rim knock, so you're wrong, too.
@Alexandre Batalha You argument is moot. Good sound isn't as much about the mics as it is about the drums, the drummer, the room and mic placement. If you record with triggers it means you haven't figure that out. There are great recordings over 60 years old. Get Behind The Glass book and you'll se what I mean. BTW, just because YOU cannot notice the difference doesn't mean someone else can't. That also depends on many things like the genre. Is the OP talking about Metal?
Alexandre Batalha with quality Pearl and DW acoustic kits u at least get a decent sound for your money, this sounds awful as is expensive. I own a decent Peal kit, and my 2nd Roland kit with a decent brain and mesh heads was just over 2 grand, I see no need to spend that amount of cash on an electric kit that is still gonna sound bad. I rarely use my Roland for live work, mainly practice and electronic overdubs. I can also use it to trigger better sounds like BFD.
with expensive Pearl and DW acoustic kits you may get either a crappy sound, or a good sound to boot, that depends on the sound engineer/method of recording, so the price that you pay for some over-the-top DW will not influence much in that matter, since there are acoustics with fair prices and acceptable sound quallity. Many live drummers trigger their kits to get a real beefy sound, and avoid mic bleed, and for studio recordings it is a must, if you can manage the mixing pretty well. And the Yamaha sounds are almost VST qualitty actually, UA-cam doesn't make justice to the sounds on the Yamaha modules, since the sounds on them are real drum sounds recorded in layers and dinamically articulated, unlike Roland, that uses synthetized drum sounds.
UA-cam quality aside, it still sounds bad. Just the fact that it's a repeating sample, layered or synthesized, cannot mimic an acoustic drum being played fast, it's weakness is revealed very quickly, is not convincing, and therefore not worth the money imo. The longer you own one of these kits, the more it's weaknesses are revealed. Layering with acoustic sounds in a live situation works well because u have the sampled sound blended to merely enhance it. Or even sound replacing a close snare sound with drum a gog for example works well, u can either blend a percentage of it, or go 100% and u still have a blend of the overheads to stop the monotony of the repeated sample, kind of hides it.
@SeizeTheDay667 Lol the td-20 might have more kits but not all of them are what you would want to use in a live situation. Also..if you compare the yamaha to the roland in terms of sound..the yamaha sounds so much like real drums. Where as the roland has alway's sounded a bit synthetic to my ears. Have you heard single stroke rolls on a roland?..it sounds like a machine gun. I'n a live setting hooked up thru a PA..the yamaha sounds better. It sounds like a real drum kit. Nuff said..
this guy should be selling food processors, decent drummer but terrible delivery all this 'there u go' and 'right' at the end of every sentence. I think these drums sound like crap compared to an acoustic kit, be nice to practice with, or the odd recording use, but I really don't like them. Samples are too repetitive, you can hear it's the exact same sound again and again, whereas an acoustic drum has countless variations, it never repeats. But, yeh, great for practicing if you can afford it.
10 years later, these still sound pretty fantastic. They aren't acoustic drums for sure, but pretty damn close.
Yeah but there's new Yamaha DTX6, sounds much closer to real acoustic drums!

Still best EKit out there 2020 hands down.
You should try both and decide. I much prefer the Yamaha and the DTX700k is excellent.
amazing
Aaaagggghhhh! I must have this! Thanks for the demo!
Sounds great.
Roland are the king of electric drums!

The _most_ important selling point for me.

YYZ meaning Toronto Pearson Airport?

I prefer the Yamaha sounds. The Beech and Maple settings on the DTX-550 are so great. I didn't much like the sound of my old TD-4SX
Nice drums
Both look pretty cool so i think you can choose the cheapest...

"Pretty nice right" No, not for that price.
Still cheaper than Roland, most DW top of the line acoustics and Pearl as well.

huge dooosher sweet kit huge dose bag...
the snare drums sound fake
+Mr. Klunee Cause it is
@@YouKnowWhosJelle lol 3 years later but that was my point.....they boasted about sampling real drums but it didn't sound like it
Roland is better..
expensive drum
Sorry I don’t believe in automatic weapons for the general public- oh! That’s your drum set? Sorry. They should be illegal too.
