@@willchristianson171 I just finished recording drums, rest of the band has to record their parts on top of that, then mixing, mastering, deciding on a title and when/how to release it. Wayyy to early, my friend. 😀
If u go into the midi settings and check which is the lowest speed note of every pad when hit and set the speed curve of every pad to begin at that lowest speed note, it will give u even more dynamics. U can also adjust the speed curve however u want.
I used to play electric guitar through my high end PC sound card Delta 1010lt and it was great the latency was pretty low. Roughly 10ms with all other channels going. After I stopped playing with plugins and went back to an amp I felt very naked. Like the amp was much more immediate and revealing. I'd argue my timing was affected badly by monitoring on my sound card. I know it's only 10ms and I know I can't really hear that gap but there was a definite difference playing though an amp. It definitely more naked and immediate. I'd imagine that would be catastrophic for a drummer.
Should've showed setup, recording some midi, how to adjust sensitivtiy on kit and in daw, how to select midi channels and talked about the quality of the midi translating into the daw i.e. how accurate does the feel you play match the recorded midi. Another vid please.
Ian Martin maybe they have no idea what those things are. It seems to me they’re learning on the fly. What would be more constructive would be to, instead of bitching, explain those topics in your own video. I for one would like more of those things covered in videos as I have little knowledge on the subject.
@@sierratrey I wasn't bitching. I was sincerely, but succinctly, asking for another vid; hence the please. I'm not here to write novels, and they're not going to read them. Also, if you have an electric kit, you should know what these things are, else you've probably just wasted your money.
Totally agree. Andertons is a business, and if they are showcasing a product they should explain what latency is if you are planning to record with your E Drumkit while triggering your VST sounds. I have this drumkit. Pads are incredible but I am experiencing latency when traking live with addictive drums 2. Working on a macbook pro i7, 1T SSD and 16gb ram. There will always be latency...
@@sierratrey So, when the people who have direct access to the vendor and company reps for free support don't show valuable info in their vids, and I ask for valuable content instead, your solution is that I'm a bitch who needs to make his own videos by buying millions of dollars worth of music equipment and demoing it? Your thinking is that I'm not here as a curious potential buyer, but as someone who already has all of the knowledge and is simply bitching about a poor job?
Fantastic demo. Have just bought this combo 😃 Can’t wait to start playing again. Played for over 20 years but haven’t played in the last 15 years ! Such wonderful UA-cam tuition videos now and super excited 👍Thanks again Andertons
@@metalliclark86 Couldn't be happier, for the money these are a great option, my only gripe is the lack of accessories on the market, I want an extra tom and cymbal but I'll need to buy another brand from what I can see
SDX has a whole mixer setup with mics, rooms and effects. Since they grabbed the Collins preset, and just changed the drums, it retained all the mic and rooms of that preset. So you can go much deeper and really dial in sounds to your need.
I suspect that if Toontrack released a hardware device that you could load maybe two or three of your choice of SD kits onto, that had USB in and maybe four-six outs to allow you to EQ for the venue, they would sell a ton of them. A live drummer doesn't normally need an infinite number of kit combinations for a gig. If they're using an acoustic kit, they have only one kit anyway. However, being able to take a portable electronic kit that fits in the car, doesn't need to be miced up, takes up less space on the stage, doesn't spill onto other mics on the stage, doesn't take an hour to set up, can work in small venues where an acoustic kit isn't practical, is a massive plus. The downside would be the laptop, which I expect would put a lot of people off. It's a relatively fragile device that takes time to boot up, takes up space on the stage, and that can at times do unpredictable things, like kick off a virus scan that slows everything down, like start a Windows update with a reboot at the end etc.
The laptop isn't really an issue. Everything you mentioned as a down side is easily preventable with basic setup. Virus scans and updates can be scheduled to happen at specific times of day. Any computer with an SSD takes only 10 to 15 seconds to boot up. Modern laptops are even faster with NVME drives, often hitting the password screen or desktop in only 2 seconds. As far as durability and portability, I would wonder if it could even be driven on a tablet.
I agree it's amazing the sound you can get out of superior drummer with the cheap electronic kit with USB, but which computer are y'all using for Superior drummer? You will have to add another $1,500 for a Mac or700 for a decent windows-based laptop.
Aawesome video! I also found out myself just recently, that with e-drums it is all "just software". I, as a beginner (playing the drums for 2 years now), also got a quite cheap e-drum-kit for about 550,- euros. And just recently I wanted to step my game up a bit, by having a better drum module, so I got me the Roland TD-17 plus the ATV aD3 for comparison. And - oh my goodness - did my cheap e-drum-kit sound and FELT better than before! A lot more sensitive to play and everything! Plus, very interesting also: The ATV could resemble this "burrying the beater"-style on the kick, while the Roland couldn't. So, yes, all just software. :-) (Just to mention that: I kept the Roland and sent the ATV back.)
@@MrNickdino Good question. It's now 2 years since that happened. But as far as I remember, it was somehow the extensibility with other sounds, the handling of it, but also the options for learning/training which were better at the Roland. Even though the ATV had better "built-in" sounds already.
Great one, guys. Just one note though which might have changed or affected your sound: the moment you pick a preset like „Collins kit“, a bunch of processing is loaded as well (EQ, compression and routing). The moment you change an instrument (another kick or tom), the same processing that was initially made for the kick of the preset is then applied to the kick you’ve picked. This might lead to „wrong“ sounds as obviously you would EQ an 28x14 Kick differently than a 18x14 kick.
9:18 - "350 default kits". That's not what I'm seeing on Superior Drummer's webpage. It says "350+ electronic drum machine sounds," and "7 kits, 25 snares, 16 kicks."
I have SD3 it’s incredible.i bought a 3 ply mesh from DrumTec Germany.i have a Mapex armory 6 piece kit that’s going to get an electronic makeover. Next week I’m buying Orchestral percussion SDX.

Hi guys, i love your Video & your Enthusiasm. I recently purchased the 'Millenium MPS1000 e-drum kit ' so I am new to the area of electronics. I have two questions to put out to you please. 1: Once you have connected the computer to your drum module & chosen your desired kit/sounds. Can you store them into the drum module or do you have to connect the computer every time that you set up your kit to enable access to the sounds?. 2: Superior Drummer sounds great & good value for money for its quality. However, I spent most of my money on my new electric drum kit. Please can you tell me if there is an equivalent type of software out there. Similar to Superior Drummer, but in a much lower price range? Thank you in advance for your time & your help. Regards, Shaun.
Most modules sounds just as bad as they did 20 years ago. You would need to pay lots and lots of money for a module that sounds as good as superior drummer does. The high end Pearl module costs something like 3000 dollars, and then you have to own a high end drumkit that would support all of the technology.
I disagree with that statement ENTIRELY. Modules have come along in leaps and bonds literally year by year. What you get now on a mid priced kit, compared to 20 years ago is absolute chalk and cheese.
I've got any leases nitro mesh special edition kit and I've noticed that when I change the bass drum the feel of the mallet against the pad feels exactly how it sounds when I turn my pitch way down low as though the head would be super loose it feels loose! When I turn the pitch up on that same number voice you can feel the pad somehow Titan to the tone is this my imagination??? Also with my drum pads if I change the snare to a different snare sound it feels like the sound!???
I did the opposite, i own a 3400 dollar digital drumkit and i turned it into a 400 dollar drumkit. Eventhough my way to expensive drumkit sounds good, it takes less than a minute to make it sound like an acoustic drumkit, i LOVE it. And its so easy to record with MIDI ,you can change any key or remove.. its so good :) Good for cheap studio
This may sound like a dumb question to any electronic drummers, but is this possible with Alesis products like the Alesis nitro kit and Alesis turbo kit? Thanks, great vid.
Looking forward to getting the SD3 but I'm not sure my current laptop would work. I have an Aspire 5. Do you have any suggestions for a laptop that can run SD3 while still playing UA-cam videos or Drumeo lessons with little to no noticeable latency? Great video. You sold me on SD3 just need to make sure I've got everything needed to get the most from this software. Thanks mates!
And now, for a total beginner first time player. How would actually setting this up work.. and what would I else need, other than buying and downloading the software. Thats what I really want to know. Switching though Default Profiles I can do on my own for sure.
@@MrMonero I have a Nitro and when I first bought it it was great for me as a beginner but I'm beginning to want more out of it a couple years later. I don't know anything about the other kit but the Nitro was all I needed when I was first learning.
Question, I have my turbo alesis drums connected to ez drummer 2, so how can I set my audio to connect to my presonas to come out of my headrush speakers? Thanks in advance.
Hello... Great explanation there. One question I have is, I am too contemplating to buy the SD3. But my edrums are pretty basic like the one you sported there (with a bit of a more muscle mine is Carlsbro SC D600). So, would I be able to seamlessly use/exploit superior drummer no matter the make or model of my electronic kit? Meaning, be is a top of the line Roland kit or the $750 model, which I'm possessing, would the sounds generated be the same with both these kits when interfaced or setup properly with the SD3 VST? ( here that I'm ruling out the quality difference of the pads which should surely be evident between the kits and the discomfort of smaller pads on the $750 kit). The crux of the question is, would I be able to bring out the similar sounding grooves or licks from the SD3 VST no matter the kit used? (be it a $400 or a $750 like I have or a $4k kit which I dream of). What do u think of positional sensitivity? Is that of any concern brother? Thank you!! You Rock!!
Theoretically the e-drum will just become the trigger. The sound will be now produced not from the drum module but from the PC software. Probably the dynamic may be affected? For example a more responsible snare from a 700$ kit will give you a more dynamic response that the 400$ one but besides that, then it will become a matte whether your drum supports: rim shot and the symbols are single or dual zone, with or without choke function. Which will depend still on the function
You just plug a USB cable straight into your laptop. I have this kit and connected it yesterday. My Focusrite Scarlett is also plugged in to another USB port and then I've set the e-kit up in Reaper using MT Power Drum Kit 2 (which is free). It all works perfectly with no latency. MT Power Drum only has one basic kit which is why I'm looking at something better like Superior or EZ Drummer....
What kind of lag did you experience compared to the electric kit module? All software of this type will experience some lag and depends in part on your laptop / pc. I found i really needed under 4ms.
I am running a Roland TD-17 with EzDrummer2. Depending on the buffer size I can get below 4 ms but I am running on 64 samples and 4.9 ms. Sufficient for me.
@@Wollestar I have a KVX. Installed some paid for kits as well but still not happy with the sound. Maybe superior is worth looking at. Or sell the KV, get an accoustic kit and get some triggers and quiet heads for when I want it quiet. Humm .
@@andrewrichards9042 in my opinion EzDrummer 2 is enough. But if you want to, of course go for SD3. At the Moment there is a Holiday sale over at toontrack for Ezdrummer 2 and also some additional libraries. For me EZD made an enormous difference. The added dynamics are crazy. Plus I have adjusted the sensitivity of the pads. Just sounds amazing in my opinion. I have the kvx as well, but upgraded the 8" toms with the 10" toms from ATV. Very happy with them. Makes the kit a bit bigger and nicer to play. I personally would not sacrifice the benefits of the e drums with ezdrummer for an acoustic kit. The huge variety of kits you can play there is massive plus I cannot play an acoustic in my appartement. Hope, I was able to help
Can these SD3 kits be put onto a USB and then plugged into the drum module directly? I ask bc I only have a desktop 1000 miles away from my drums and it doesn’t make sense to have the worlds longest cord going to if, lol. Thanks.
Hey guys, I am looking to get SD3 and I have a question about setup. I know you said you can go straight from computer to drums, but I am worried about latency. Should I run the drums through an audio interface and then into the computer? If so, are there any interfaces you'd recommend that don't break the bank?
I went the focusrite route their great, I got the 2i2, personally I'd say get one with 2 inputs Incase you want to record multiple things at once in the future, you never knew, I never would have guessed initially
Please if anyone can help that would be such a help’ just got an e kit for practice when I’m not using my acoustic kit but would love love do this 🤘🥁✌️
Hi. I've got a similar and in my opinion better piece of software than superior drummer 3, having listened to and watched reviews and demos of it. So that side is sorted, but I dont know what e drum kit To get. I thought about tourtech... any suggestions?
Better than sd3?!! What’s better than that?! Other than a live kit but even then sd3 is kind of better Cause instead of one kit u got a bunch of kits both ready to use and to piece together yourself
Could you share the SP3 settings that you used for the midi interface, please. I bought the setup from Andertons and I don’t think the pad sensitivity setting are quite right using the ‘generic’ setting and there isn’t a Tourtech kit listed. Thanks.
yes you can make your 400 electronic drum kit sound great, you just need to give toontrack a lot of control over you wallet as the software you guys are using (superior drummer 3) is expensive (but then again it is the golden standard), but there is also ezdrummer 3 which can also give your 400 electronic drum kit good sounds for a lot less money than what superior drummer 3 costs, yes you don't get all of the articulation options that superior drummer 3 has but your 400 electronic drum kit will sound much better than with stock sounds and if you just want good sounds to play with without having to dail in everything then ezdrummer 3 is a really good option as well. another thing to take into account is that the core library of superior drummer 3 completely installed takes more than 200 gigabytes of space while ezdrummer costs only 15 gigabyte to completely install
But that is, because they can't or simply didn't bother to adjust the sensitivity of the pads. I trigger EzDrummer2 via an edrum and that sounds quite nice. A lot of dynamic range. But most likely it will still not sound hundret percent like an acoustic. At least not stand alone. Within a song it is very close.
All electronic drums I have tried over the years since the eighties, has been atrocious. I am simply unable to play on them. It is the "feel" of the pads that freaks me out.
Have you played on mesh pads? Pads like the Drumtech Real Feels? They feel just like acoustic heads. I also think it might be less an issue with electronic kits and more an issue with the pads themselves... I have an acoustic-sized conversion with Realfeel heads and it feels exactly like playing acoustic, especially with the metal field cymbals.
Latency not caused by HHD..just get asio 4 all...it's almost unnoticeable..use it regularly although there's a massive difference in loading speeds with the SSD drive..so I'd definitely get one
How to sound like literally anyone without busting the bank. There you go. SD3 is your Boss Katana from now on.

Theoretically the e-drum will just become the trigger. The sound will be now produced not from the drum module but from the PC software. Probably the dynamic may be affected? For example a more responsible snare from a 700$ kit will give you a more dynamic response that the 400$ one but besides that, then it will become a matte whether your drum supports: rim shot and the symbols are single or dual zone, with or without choke function. Which will depend still on the function
It will sound the same, thats whats funny. In the end your just beating on plastic pads.
Will this work with any other electric drum kit
Very cool video, guys!
How did you connect the module to the computer (USB?) and was there any latency noticeable?
important question unanswered til this day. very sad. delay is a HUGE problem and quiet a few people got mad on this problem.
You just plug a USB cable straight into your laptop. I have this kit and connected it yesterday. My Focusrite Scarlett is also plugged in to another USB port and then I've set the e-kit up in Reaper using MT Power Drum Kit 2 (which is free). It all works perfectly with no latency. MT Power Drum only has one basic kit which is why I'm looking at something better like Superior or EZ Drummer....
If you go iOS with Drum Session , there is zero latency using iOS
What about the latency?
Is latency an issue with this setup?
There will be some latency, in the ms low ms range.
What kind of lag did you experience compared to the electric kit module? All software of this type will experience some lag and depends in part on your laptop / pc. I found i really needed under 4ms.
I am running a Roland TD-17 with EzDrummer2. Depending on the buffer size I can get below 4 ms but I am running on 64 samples and 4.9 ms. Sufficient for me.
@@Wollestar I have a KVX. Installed some paid for kits as well but still not happy with the sound. Maybe superior is worth looking at. Or sell the KV, get an accoustic kit and get some triggers and quiet heads for when I want it quiet. Humm .
@@andrewrichards9042 in my opinion EzDrummer 2 is enough. But if you want to, of course go for SD3. At the Moment there is a Holiday sale over at toontrack for Ezdrummer 2 and also some additional libraries.
For me EZD made an enormous difference. The added dynamics are crazy. Plus I have adjusted the sensitivity of the pads. Just sounds amazing in my opinion.
I have the kvx as well, but upgraded the 8" toms with the 10" toms from ATV. Very happy with them. Makes the kit a bit bigger and nicer to play.
I personally would not sacrifice the benefits of the e drums with ezdrummer for an acoustic kit. The huge variety of kits you can play there is massive plus I cannot play an acoustic in my appartement.
Hope, I was able to help
What amp or monitors are they playing through? into the laptop and.. out. to what?
Do you guys use a sound interface or just plug on the laptop?
Avesome. How can I do that on my drums?
Hi.. what were you monitoring through in the room? Thanks
Hey guys, what monitor do you use?
hey guys, ur 2 links are broken - would you mind posting the ref of this specific drumkit ? thx
Great....Which kind of cable you need to connect to a Macbook and a Roland TD 4KP ?
Anyone know anything about drivers required? Can’t find any…also I’m assuming this e-kit is compatible with EZDrummer 3?
Can these SD3 kits be put onto a USB and then plugged into the drum module directly? I ask bc I only have a desktop 1000 miles away from my drums and it doesn’t make sense to have the worlds longest cord going to if, lol. Thanks.
No, it's a software that needs to be run in an operating system environment. Either move your computer, move your drums, or get a laptop.
where to get collins kit?
Does this work for the alesis command X?
Yes
How to deal with kick drum double triggering issue while recording midi using this kit with SD3?
WHATS GOOD AMP TO USE WITH A ALESES SURGE ELECTRIC KIT
Would this programme work on every electric kit with a midi out?
Yes but the triggers pads have little dynamic variation it appears
Can you add a cymbal to this kit
Yes, you can (or I did) buy a symbal, tom expansion kit. 1 extra symbal and Tom.
Can you u use addictive drums for the tourtech 22-M?
Play with the giant drum sticks lying behind you please! :))
whats the interface software called?
Oh wow how can I get that ?
Hey guys, I am looking to get SD3 and I have a question about setup. I know you said you can go straight from computer to drums, but I am worried about latency. Should I run the drums through an audio interface and then into the computer? If so, are there any interfaces you'd recommend that don't break the bank?
I went the focusrite route their great, I got the 2i2, personally I'd say get one with 2 inputs Incase you want to record multiple things at once in the future, you never knew, I never would have guessed initially
what program are you using? that's awesome! :)
Superior Drummer 3
I see people using ez drummer 2 with this more as the software Superior Drummer 3 is more expensive then the drums itself.
Please if anyone can help that would be such a help’ just got an e kit for practice when I’m not using my acoustic kit but would love love do this 🤘🥁✌️
Where can I buy the tour tech t 22 in USA
I have a TD10 Roland Moduale which does't have a USB :(
Use MIDI. It will have that.
How does this kit work w/ double pedal bass?
i've heard decently, but you wanna get both beaters as close to the centre as possible
Hi. I've got a similar and in my opinion better piece of software than superior drummer 3, having listened to and watched reviews and demos of it. So that side is sorted, but I dont know what e drum kit To get. I thought about tourtech... any suggestions?
Better than sd3?!! What’s better than that?! Other than a live kit but even then sd3 is kind of better Cause instead of one kit u got a bunch of kits both ready to use and to piece together yourself
@@olejakob9216 bfd3 and all its expansions
I am founding Linn sound -only module sounds inside- to use on e drums kit, same brand both..I supose. That exist?? Cheers.
Far too much waffle, please get to the point.
Why don't you ship to the U.S.?
Could you share the SP3 settings that you used for the midi interface, please. I bought the setup from Andertons and I don’t think the pad sensitivity setting are quite right using the ‘generic’ setting and there isn’t a Tourtech kit listed. Thanks.
That is a very good question
This is only available in the uk?
Can any one help me out or send me a link we’re I can hook up my GarageBand from my phone to my donner electric drums pls 🙏
How do u connect the laptop to ur e drums ? I need help
USB connector, or MIDI
yes you can make your 400 electronic drum kit sound great, you just need to give toontrack a lot of control over you wallet as the software you guys are using (superior drummer 3) is expensive (but then again it is the golden standard), but there is also ezdrummer 3 which can also give your 400 electronic drum kit good sounds for a lot less money than what superior drummer 3 costs, yes you don't get all of the articulation options that superior drummer 3 has but your 400 electronic drum kit will sound much better than with stock sounds and if you just want good sounds to play with without having to dail in everything then ezdrummer 3 is a really good option as well. another thing to take into account is that the core library of superior drummer 3 completely installed takes more than 200 gigabytes of space while ezdrummer costs only 15 gigabyte to completely install
No matter which kit it sounds like, the initial strike still sounds like a pad. Granted the drums sound better.
But that is, because they can't or simply didn't bother to adjust the sensitivity of the pads. I trigger EzDrummer2 via an edrum and that sounds quite nice. A lot of dynamic range. But most likely it will still not sound hundret percent like an acoustic. At least not stand alone. Within a song it is very close.
All electronic drums I have tried over the years since the eighties, has been atrocious. I am simply unable to play on them. It is the "feel" of the pads that freaks me out.
Have you played on mesh pads? Pads like the Drumtech Real Feels? They feel just like acoustic heads. I also think it might be less an issue with electronic kits and more an issue with the pads themselves... I have an acoustic-sized conversion with Realfeel heads and it feels exactly like playing acoustic, especially with the metal field cymbals.
I agree. Even mesh heads feel weird
what p.a system best for this??
I can’t tell which is worse; their playing or these sounds they are choosing.
Does your laptop have SSD? I'm still concerned about latency.
Latency not caused by HHD..just get asio 4 all...it's almost unnoticeable..use it regularly although there's a massive difference in loading speeds with the SSD drive..so I'd definitely get one
@@outtayardstudio thanks 🙏🏻
Keep in mind that cheap drum kits don’t last long. You should buy roland or yamaha if you want the cymbals to last
Exactly, not to mention the overall feel will outweigh the sound when playing imo
Does anyone know if PD3 is free?
2:20 lol bell tip
what brand of edrums is that?
Tourtech
