A Beginner's Guide To Electronic Drums

- Electronic drum sets are all the rage. They won’t break your back. Your neighbors won’t call the cops on you. And unlike tuning acoustic drums, you can change how they sound with the push of a button.
This 15-minute crash course on electronic drums shows you how to choose the right e-kit and how to get the most of it once you own one.
0:00 - Intro
0:44 - Choosing an electronic drum set
Should you buy a new or used kit? New kits tend to work the best, include the newest technology and, like phones and computers, are sometimes less expensive than earlier models when they were first released.
If you’re looking into used electronic drum sets, consider its age and the generation of the technology. If it’s over 10 years old, you’ll get old tech that might not give you the best playing or connectivity experience.
5:09 - Choosing headphones/speakers
When choosing the right headphones, make sure you get a pair that are comfortable, and with a closed back design. Don't use cheap Bluetooth enabled headphones or ear buds (especially not AirPods). That latency will drive you nuts.
If you’d prefer to use a speaker or want others to hear your kit’s audio, make sure you use something with full range support. Bass amps are perfect for electronic drum kits. Avoid guitar amps as they’re built for distortion and they’re too mid-range heavy. Roland, Alesis, and Simmons all make dedicated electronic amps for drums if you want to go that route.
Our tip: get in-ear monitors. They fit in your ears like ear buds and sound great!
8:33 - Setting up
Follow the instructions that came with your kit, or look for a downloadable manual online if you bought it used. When it comes to where you should set up, there’s one important thing about electronic drums you need to know right off the bat; even though you're wearing headphones, your neighbors or someone else at home sure will hear you -- especially if you share a wall.
Set up the drums on a carpet to add a layer of dampening. But if it’s too plush, the kit won’t be as stable and might shake or move. You can pick up a 4’x6′ rubber-backed floor mat with a low pile at your local hardware store.
13:13 - Start recording
While it can take some pricey equipment and time to capture your performance on an acoustic kit, electronic kits are usually plug and play - no mixing or editing required! Filming and recording is a great way to track your progress or share your playing with your drum teacher, friends, or social media community.
Any entry level audio interface like a Behringer UCA222 or an iRig 2 will do the trick. Just make sure the interface is class compliant so you're good to go right away.

Finally ... more Electronic Drums stuff please
Noted!
Yes 👍
First kit I bought was that Alesis Nitro Mesh you were using. Was a great way to start playing drums without running your family out of the house. I've since transitioned to a Gretsch Catalina Maple kit. I now find it difficult to go back to the electronic kit. Of course, I have a dampened music room now.
I have the same kit it is great for kids or begginers !
how long did you stick with the alesis before upgrading to a real set?
@256k_ About a year. At that point, I felt comfortable enough to move to an acoustic. Until I had a well-dampened room, though, I did use Zildjian L80 cymbals and Vic Firth drum mutes to keep the sound down. Now, I've added another rack and floor tom to make it a 7-piece set and running Zildjian A cymbals.
I have this kit and I would definitely say its great for beginners, but since I started playing on an acoustic first I just cant get used to the small toms and snare and compact size.
I JUST bought my first electric drum kit as a christmas gift for myself. I play guitar, ukulele and some piano. NEW to drums and I wanted something I could use at night when my young child sleeps and I was so excited to find that I could still learn to drum without keeping everyone up all night long. I also bought an amp and didn't go nuts. I went with a mid range kit and a friend of mine is a drummer in a semi-famous LA based band and she offered to give me virtual drum lessons and helped me pick out the kit. I AM so excited, I have always wanted to play the drums but the ignorance of not knowing something like this existed kept me from emarking on my dream. I had ZERO clue about this option until recently. I'm very excited, and thank you for this video...great stuf!!
What kit did you go with if you don't mind me asking? In the same boat as you (without the famous teacher part).
Some more tips for new e-drummer:
For those living in an apartment, the floor vibrations from the bass drum pedal mostly would be an issue, do consider putting an extra layer between the pedal and the carpet. Buying Roland NE-10 is a good choice, but you could also DIY.
About the headphone, I use ATH-M50X, which sounds so amazing. Furthermore, it's cheaper than a pair of Airpod.
wow this really helps me a lot. i’ve been considering to get myself an electric kit but a bit worried about the pedal issue since i live in an apartment. so should i double the carpet or just add an extra layer between the pedal and the carpet?
@@unboxbybil I’m afraid that doubling the carpet won’t help, since drum carpets mostly are to stop the pedal from slippery rather than reducing vibrations. I recommend you check out Roland NE-10, it indeed helps, though it’s a bit pricey IMO. I ended up with DIY and there’s no more complaint from the neighbor under my floor since then.
Yeah those controller pedals are really loud!
My downstairs neighbors don't my Donner DED-200. They just moved in and freaked out I told them I'm drumming upstairs. They were perfectly ok.
3 thick carpets work well 😅 - i wish this was joke
I recommend Acoustic to electric conversion. I converted My Mapex Saturn 6 piece kit into electric by getting a used Strike module, Steven Slade VST, affordable lemon e-cymbals, used laptop for Steven Slade. Even bought a cheap broken Strike Alesis crash and repaired it myself. A great sounding e-kit that looks better then the best e-kit out there.
+1. I converted my acoustic kit using a Roland TD-11 brain and cymbals I got from Ebay and I think it was UFO 3-ply mesh heads and a Go Edrum hi-hat controller. I made my Tom triggers. I bought the triggers for the snare and kick from somewhere. I think they maybe from UFO drums as well. They feel like my acoustic kit but I can play anytime I want. It's been a few years so it may be more expensive now but IIRC total cost not including my acoustic drums/ stands was around $800.
I made my own triggers using radio-shack buzzers, foam, and Balsa Wood converting my Round badge Gretsch (1968). Purchased a used Alesis DM5. Replaced the main heads with Mesh, covered plastic Practice cymbals with a thin piece of rubber, and used my Keyboard sustain pedal for the Hi-Hat. Worked well, However.....
Not sure if the generated line voltage was to high, Module was used, or if I set the input sensitivity to high, but I blew out the channel default for the Base Drum. All others still working.
My next project just to see how well it would work, (potential Crosstalk issues), will be to convert a set of cheap basic RB3 drum pads to run through my module.
I got some piezos, angle brackets, 1/4 jacks and foam and made my own triggers as well.
I have been using e-drums over 20 years. Started with Alternate Mode Trapkat, which I still have, but also have a Roland with converted mesh heads. For practice at home, I use an in-line volume control from PC for input control, ($10 or less) and I HIGHLY recommend using Koss "The Plug" earbuds. (About $25) They fit in the ear, have a foam cushion you squish then insert in ear and it expands for a perfect fit and good outside noise cancelling, plus they sound great with good bass response. The problem I had with over the ear headphones was keeping them on, (can you say headbanging?) so I had to use a headband for a snugger fit.
I got a Yamaha DTX 432 kit a few years ago and am very happy with it. It was moderately priced at about $600 CAD and works great. Snare plus three toms. Has hi-hats that can make all the acoustic sounds, a crash cymbal you can choke, and with the ride you can play the bell. The bass drum pedal is a real one from an acoustic set with a beater, very nice touch. Very impressed for the price.
If you have the budget, I highly recommend the VAD series from Roland : they're the best compromise between acoustic and electronics. I have so much fun with it since I got mine 🔥
Roland VAD 103/306 is what I would absolutely love to upgrade to. I have a td-17 module and Alesis strike module currently. The vad 503/506 are fantastic kits, I would absolutely love to own one, however due to my injuries, I would have very hard time moving around a nearly full sized kit like those. The 103/306 have the half sized 18” kick and the new triple trigger cone drums that are so damn good looking and playing. I really love the td-27 and would absolutely love to have the full digital range of Roland pads. The new Yamaha DTX pro series module has me seriously considering switching over to Yamaha. The new sounds and new dtx drum module especially the dtx pro are phenomenal. The sounds and new analog fader system is s cool. Haven’t gotten a chance to play the newest kits they just released, however they look fantastic. Yamaha really came out swinging with these new kits. Hoping Yamaha will release updates version of dtx multi 12 multipad with the new sounds, larger storage capacity and day 1 iOS editing app support. Editing kits on and iPad/iPhone soooo much nicer than having to menu dive on small led screen.
Yamaha’s new DTX series is insane. Just as good as any Roland kit if not better.
Roland sounds like playing on empty bucket (and even then they manage to get bucket sound machine gun out of it as well)
Go yamaha. Go the new kits. Its the best buy
@@bealotcoolerifyoudid7217 I really like the Yamaha however I will need to buy new: snare, ride, hihat control pedal and hihat cymbal. That’s definitely factoring into my decision. I’ve heard other people complaining about Roland “machine gunning” issues. I’ve never heard that from any of my Roland modules. I understand not everyone likes the Roland sound set. Sounds are very subjective so everyone will have different opinion when talking about sounds. I will say My strike module acoustic drum sounds are better than Roland. I feel Alesis strike cymbals and hihats can’t hold a candle to My td-17 sounds. I have learned to use the hi pass filter and that definitely helped fix some of the awful sounding cymbals, w/o the filter some of the cymbals sound very harsh and like I’m hitting a trash can lid. Both modules have their use cases and I really enjoy being able to have plenty of sound options.
@@StarDogg27 agreed!!! Yamaha came out swinging with the new dtx modules and drum kits. I’m definitely torn on what my next upgrade should be
A year and a half with my Alesis Command... still learning stuff.... appreciate the information. Thank you @Drumeo
Great resource Drumeo. Though I do not currently have an E-kit, I intend on haveing one in the future and so this information is quite useful. Thank you for this resource.
Such an informative video and I like the way you use the tablet to record yourself. I hadn't thought of that. I pick up my e Kit Christmas Eve.
Great video. Gave me good info as a newbie beginner drummer . Thank you
As the pandemic hit, my option was recycling useless stuff I already had. Via Amazon, mesh heads and Yamaha triggers for an abandoned Pearl Traveller set, and a used laptop online (for this purpose only) to connect my also abandoned Roland TD-10 module and cymbal pads. Downloaded Superior Drummer 3 and now, after a year of tweaking and experimenting, can't imagine myself practicing on anything else. Particularly, no more time wasted changing tuning or cymbals to practice a different genre. Can go from my Max Roach kit, to my Nashville kit, to my double bass kit in seconds. It takes a while to adjust, but to me it was worth it. So check your storage stuff, as what you wanted to throw away earlier might become useful with a little investment nowadays.
Yes! Getting the hang of VST's was a gamechanger for me too. Do you use any other plugins?
Thank you for the great suggestions. I am just playing clone hero. The tv set up is just perfect!
Im actually looking at buying an Alesis kit. This video really helped. Thanks
I've had 2 Electronic kits now and I have to say without them I wouldn't be half as good as I am (not that I think I'm good haha) but I will offer one piece of advice/warning to first time buyers. Be very wary of the lowest end entry-level kits. My first e-kit was a $400 USD e-bay kit and it couldn't withstand what I would call energetic drumming. That thing fell apart piece by piece until eventually all the cymbal arms and one of the tom arms had snapped or bent way out of shape. It starts to cost more to replace pieces than it would have just to get a better kit to begin with.
I saved up and bought an Alesis DM-10 as my second E-kit and that thing was amazing! Built properly and had real heads so it had great feedback and feel to it. Unfortunately had to sell it to pay bills and rent but will for sure be looking at Alesis again when I'm ready to shop for a new one.
It's funny how he gives the advice to always use a closed back headphone al the while he is holding a open back headphone. A very good one though! I have it myself and love it.
I just bought mine today and I really needed this😂👌🏼
Nice picture in the background, but a great teacher in front! Nicely done, Kyle & #TeamDrumeo !
Thanks Michael! No one better suited to be in the background given the topic. 😎
Excellent advice, thank you!
Was wondering why my old gaming headphone wasn't working with the kick... it'd make a crackling sound. But switching it around with another headphone and is working now. Thanks for the tip!
Cool info for drummers who are think about getting an e-Kit!!
Old tec is good. Good effects. Old school. Blend together. 🤗Cool man thank you 🙏🥁🥁😎🤗
Thanks!
What a great video! Thank you so much!
I got the Roland TD07-DMK and it's a pretty fun little kit.
I'm also waiting on a Presonus Studio 24c for recording. It comes with nice top-of-the-line recording software. 👍
I just got an electronic kit and was wondering how to listen to songs while playing. You did what others didn't, just told it clearly that phone must be connected to module using audio cable. Thanks!
I’m so bad with tech so maybe you can help me. It looks like he has 3 wires connected to the adaptor (iPad, drums, headphones). But I’m confused because it seems like there would be 4 (phone, iPad, drums and headphones) what am I missing here? Is something split where headphones+phone are both being plugged into the adaptor off one cable or something? I hope this makes sense 😅
@@cnags89 the drum connection from the bottom of the module with a pc type cable those wide blue ones. It has audio plugs that connect to all the drums and cymbals. The two wires in the back are extra ports in case you wanted to add an extra bass,Tom, or cymbal.
This is pure gold!
Brilliant video! Thanks!
Speaking of looking for wear and tear on used kits, make sure all the triggers work properly as after some time of taking a beating they can become finicky or inoperable entirely.
Great and very informative video!
You guys should do a tutorial to capture but using a PC. Maybe talking about different software options, using Midi output or using something fancier like addictive drums. Thanks for the vid
Wow an excellent lesson! I bought a used set of Roland TD-20s seventeen years ago. I set them up and just started playing. I though only use about 1/100th of the capability of even this old set. Are there online classes that take you from Step 1 to step whatever? Thanks for posting this lesson. Super informative but I want to learn more. Bill.
If you can appreciate that edrums and acoustic are different then both are great. I love tweaking my edrums and getting sound combinations that are unique. Especially with samples. Obviously love the acoustic feel too.
That's the biggest highlight heaving an e-drum! You have so many different sounds you can't have with an acoustic kit.
The video is really informative. thanks
I started in the 80's with a Tama Techstar and then Simmons SDS-8, SDS-9 and of course the SDSV. Later added a Roland Octapad II wich I still have along with SDSV.
The rest is gone long time ago!
i have Milleniums MPS-1000, looks like an acoustic drumset and connected to my computer using ezdrummer its really good.
Thanks man, really helpful 👍
Really enjoy my EFnote 5x kit👍
I got mine for £147 and it works really well! This was from Amazon and if you have any gift cards that would lower the price even more 🎉
Really amazing presentation... thanks a lot...i will try an acoustic set cause i am a Greek countryside dude,with beautiful neighbour girls...
They're sort of quiet, and sort of not. The kick and hi-hat's are still pretty loud on e-drum kits. I play a Roland VAD 506, and my neighbor's complained a couple times already. It's definitely a lot quieter than an acoustic kit, but still pretty darn loud. Especially when playing aggressively. A lot of "whack-whack-thud-whack" sounds. Doesn't bother me since I wear headphones.
I think because you have VAD, real shells produce more sound
I agree RADER. I have the Roland TD-17 KV kit, no shells. If you’re hitting something you’re making noise. I live in a house with a spouse and I get the eyeball every now and then. Neighbours? Never. Regardless the eDrums are much much quieter than acoustic drums. Perfect? No, but as good as it’s gonna get.
Groove responsibly! Rob Brown TM
I Play Both Accustic And Electric Drums And Let Me Say WOW, Their Way Different. Electronics Drums Help You play Better Due To The Bounce Depending On Which Kit You Choose. The Mesh Type Are Bouncy As Hell For Snare Rolls From Hell...
Hi guys! I'm a drummer and I've never played on e drum kit. Yes, it's true! I have my drums on a studio so I give a second rent. The first is for my house 😋. Though I live on the ground floor and no one is next to me. My question is... E drums sounds like you hit an exercise drum pad or they're louder? I guess bass drum sounds louder anyway...
I am so looking forward to taking lessons with Drumeo.
I recommend the VAD series...they r the best 🌟
I have the alesis nitro mesh
It’s a good kit👍
Been practicing on an ekit since i started drumming 4 years ago. I play for churches occasionally and whenever i get on the different acoustic kits they feel weird to me. The rebound, adjusting with dynamics, and the overall feel is similar but still.... different. So im currently building my drum room and investing in an acoustic kit. E kits r great and im thankful for how easy to set up and quiet they r. But if you preform on an acoustic id say its best to prac on one if ur able. However, anything is better than nothing. So if u dont have the space. An ekit is a great option.
It's important to try to set up an edrum kit as closely to how you'd set up an acoustic kit. Distances, heights, etc. If not, it'll always feel weird going back and forth.
oh my flipping gosh thank you so much this will help me
WOW. LOVE IT
I´m totally addicted to electronic drums - and I like " ELECTRONIC SOUNDS" ;-) ... so it´s not a substitute for acoustic drums it´s so much more ...
great great video! thank you!
woooow - great video !👍👍👍
great video thanks !
Superb video. Really basic for people like me.
New room studio at drumeo? Looks comfy,anyway great explanation about electronic drums,we use Roland TD 9 at church,already 9 years i guess,and it still kick in (even though there's some sensitivity problem at hihat and cymbal's pad)
I can't believe I actually got a nice drum kit with the alesis nitro mesh. I'm literally the unluckiest person on earth when buying electronics and this makes me have a glimpse of hope xD
Ok. I've been watching drumeo for a couple of years and this is the first time i'm hearing about the drumeo app
Just got my electronic drums! Trying 2 find an amplifier that will work
SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide}
ooooo cool...GREAT VIDEO..!!!!
Danke... Nuwun 🙏
I'm on disability. I live in public/subsidized housing. There are some BIG disadvantages to this. However! One of the best things is that most subsidized housing is built to withstand a Martian invasion. I have thick concrete walls on both sides of me, and thick floors and ceilings. Yes, I can hear when someone above me walks around in ten-inch heels (!! LOL), but for the most part I don't hear my neighbors and they don't hear me. So, my e-kit is going to be a very nice addition to my drab-azz apartment! Someone else has an e-kit in our building... I hear him or her practicing every few days. Little tap, tap, tappings. ❤
Seriously. Just buy the Donner Ded-200. It's amazing for the $450. I'm playing it two hours a day if not more! Love it!!!!
The headphones shown in this video, are they the open-back 990 Pros? I own the same and love them, but it goes against the whole “get closed-back headphones” conversation while holding them up 😛
Thank you for the video. Which Alesis model do you currently have in front of you on this video? There are so many. Also, which intermediate E-drum set do you recommend?
I have a alesis strike pro kit and I love it
Right on!
Got the nitro mesh for recording with ez drummer for the shells and real cymbals My logic was buying a kit with smaller pads would make me more prescise.
Nice video!
I'm trying to buy a Yamaha edrum kit but here in Brazil they are really expensive.
Warm hugs!!!
Thank you!
where do we find some setup videos for e-drums.. yeah, carpet, headphones, that's all well and good. but I already have a recording studio full outfitted, just got this Alesis DM10 kit, setting up out of the box, was no sweat, carpet.. blah blah.. It's already connected to the studio, I can use AD2 to receive the triggers, record the midi, record the audio all drums on separate tracks, I get all that, it works great. The issue I'm having is the relative positions of pedals, drum, frame of the drum kit positions, are the bars (struts) high enuf, should the heads of all 5 drums be level, or some adjust to higher height (I've seen this often with ACC drumkits). I have dbl bass pedal, HH pedal, legs of the snare, the throne, seems like all the legs and stands, and pedals are too close and make it really difficult to get things set up. Should I widen the bars the drums are attached to? there's a lot of questions for a newbie, but I am not getting the information I need.. I think I may have a solution, but this video, forgive me, doesn't help as a beginning setup guide.. this is extremely fundamental, and doesn't give enuf detail to get started on this e-drum kit. this has been my stumbling block since I bought these drums and for 2 years had been asking for some consulting help on this issue. I'm finally having to take a full video of what the issue is, and the ki.t; is the way to do that? I'll be in touch
Great info in the vid. But heads up-your treble statue on the hearth behind you is backwards and I can’t stop looking at it haha :D
I started with Roland td1-dmk. Now I using a Roland customs kit.
Drumeo: Can one upgrade their e-drum kit by purchasing a more sophisticated drum module? I purchased a kit from Donner, since spending a lot of money as a beginner didn't seem prudent. I've heard great reviews on the "hardware", but the "software" is a bit lacking. Would it be possible to use a Yamaha/ Roland module with the Donner kit, or would I have to buy a whole new drum set?
nice this was good vidceo
I have the same drum kit that you are playing in the video. My hi hat splash does not work with Logic Pro x, do you have a fix or know a daw that works properly, I have ezdrummer 2.
Wish you guys would make a video about acoustic drums sets for beginners. Or if you do, I just can’t find it so leave me a link
Ever since high school I wanted to learn to play the drums, but due to living situation, it was never even a remote possibility. I ended up learning electric guitar and have enjoyed playing that and bass for years.
Now that I’m settled, make good money, and have a big enough space to set up a kit … I want to try to achieve that dream of playing the drums. But I’m 46 years old now. Should I bother picking up this new, completely unfamiliar instrument? Or just stick to guitar? Part of me feels like I’m too old now.
never too old for music!!!
Please, tell me what is the right input to connect into your Fender Bassman 100??? I have one just like yours and never figured out it could do the job.
I'm not a drummer but I'm considering getting a set for the single room (i.e. no control room) studio I just built . Acoustic drums are too loud to easily record in a single room so it seems like a good choice to go electronic. Plus, the choices of all the different kit sounds is just mind blowing. I think my drummer friends will have fun.
I'm a drummer and you Sir. are thinking correct.
Back in the 80's/90's, electronic drums weren't that good nor practical or cheap.
But nowadays, you can get a 6 piece, 4 cymbals, full rack, double bass drum pedal completely professional e-drum set, for under $3k
PLUS, with PC, USB and MIDI connection capabilities, the possibilities are endless.
I don't have a lot of space in my flat.
Are electronic drums easy to put away on a shelf or do I have to search for specific portable models like Roland has?
I have Alesis Nitro Mesh drum kit! I don't hate my drum kit, I do hate when the snare drum come lose.

I Grabbed A TD 27 With an Extra TD 100 a Digital Three Zone Ride And Extra Bar Trigger For Right Around $3000.00 mark. I Feel If I'm Going To Abandon My Studio For A Few Days, I Would Say The Better The Kit Is You Buy For Yourself I Think Will Better Your Chances Of Getting Somewhere On These Electronic Drums Are Fun And Quiet Beautiful Work Of Electronic Art....IMHO
Out of interest, how do you write every word starting with a capital letter? Does your device do this automatically? Actually, just noticed not every word starts with a capital letter, so you do this manually? On purpose?
i guys. im getting an electric drumset for xmas. ive been drumming for months at school but i want more! drumming lessons arent enough and i want to play it at home. ok, the point: i dont know what i need. speakers? what kind? do i need special ones? please help me out
Wow, I just bought one of those drum sets, I had no idea you can hook up a phone to it.
Electric drums probably sound amazing, but I just don’t feel the groove with it. I do however feel that hybrid electric acoustic kits are cool, like Neil peart
I really wanted to get into electronic kits but I just can’t handle the feel in my hands. For me the two major issues are the striking surfaces are so much more narrow, and the fact that you don’t get decent bounce off the symbols really bothers me.
Hi I just bought a new roland td-07kv I spent 1000 Euro on it. The guys where great where I bought it
They gave me head set and pearl peddle two set drum sticks because I got the display Model
But I’m in apartment and I’m trying learn for the first time how to play it
Headphones are that one thing that like no matter what you're doing you need to just go ahead and spend the money on the good headphones. They're going to be with you for a long time potentially and you're going to be using them quite a bit, don't waste your money starting with something cheap just go with good headphones from the beginning it doesn't matter what they cost it's worth it in the long run.
do you have to connect the e-drums to a PA or an amp , in order for them to work ?
Can you play a song through Spotify or Apple Music and have the song and the kit play at the same time through the aux cord without drumeo?
Question. When I plugged my phone into my auxiliary input jack on my Alesis Dmii pro kit the snare drum and a crash cymbal stopped working completely. Is there a certain auxiliary cord I used that my have damaged those components.
Okay so I’m looking to buy one so this might sound a stupid question. I go to drum lessons where he plays a song from UA-cam Spotify etc and we play along with the song, so if I have headphones in how do I hear the song and the drum noises??
5:35 those are open back DT 990s tho
I bought the Behringer audio device and hooked everything up today - and it works, but the audio cuts out every once in a while. Any ideas what that could be? Is it the device?
I love electric drums
between alesis surge mesh, nitro mesh and roland td1dmk, which one is better? i dont what to choose. need help 🙏🏼
I own a Roland set but the heads aren’t round. Thinking up updating my set.
Wait...do I HAVE to buy an interface to record on a computer? I ask cuz I thought that as long as the kit supported USB MIDI, I could just plug the kit directly into my computer. Or at least, that's the way it worked with a mic and midi keyboard I've used (both of which supported usb midi)
Dear Drumeo, I love you. That is all.
Thanks Steve!
Is it great that I have the same one you have as my first Set
Can I record my Alesis dm6 usb kit with this audio interface mentioned here, with just an Android phone??
