    So funny.....I only started to smile after you turned it into acoustic with real heads and cymbals....that sounds sooo much better. I started to learn drums on a Roland e-kit and I hated the dull module sounds so much that I bought a Tama Starclassic walnut/birch and since that day my e-kit fell asleep. I always prefer acoustic over an e-kit, even with this high end e-kit. But hands down, DW did a great job with this one.

  • @drumswitheri
    @drumswitheri 6 місяців тому +3

    When i was in DW headquarters recently I was told that there was no need to remove the trigger when going acoustic. The only reason why you would want to remove it is because you overtones since the trigger will the dampen the drumhead a bit.

      Yea that ain't happening. Tho...you'd think they'd want to get a kit out there that's half the price so they can sell twice as many. But my hope is this flops,at least a little, and they just bring the system out of the drums, dw aside, and make it available without needing to buy a dw kit.

    • @benjamintyre9714
      @benjamintyre9714 6 місяців тому +2

      I agree 110%! Having this same technology but in a not so expensive PDP shell pack would be amazing! This opens the doors for so many options including schools and churches that usually don't have big budgets for this kind of thing. I also agree with the idea of potentially selling an "electronics pack" only which would include the triggers and module, mounting brackets, mesh heads and cymbals. Most drummers already have the hardware they would need and may not need to buy new shells. DW could revolutionize this space even more with a conversion kit option and literally be in every tier of electronic drums. Also, eventually iPad integration would be nice.

  • @jamesdennett196
    @jamesdennett196 6 місяців тому +4

    The technology seems impressive, and it does seem to be the closest to an acoustic kit of all edrums, but I was surprised Shane said this kit was "for everyone". If the technology filters down to more affordable kits, maybe, but as it stands I can't help but think anyone who can afford the full 5 piece with cymbals and has the space to use it at home, doesn't currently have the problem of needing a one-kit-does-all solution. The ability to practice silently at home and use the same kit acoustically on the road I really doubt is a consideration for people with $10k to drop. Especially when you think you could have a serious edrum kit AND a serious acoustic kit, and no need to disassemble either, for the same money. The convenience is not a selling point at this price point.
    Like others have said, if the electronic guts become available to put in any acoustic kit, I guess it starts to make more sense, but as it is, it seems to be a unnecessary 'trick'
    IMHO

    • @jasonb2180
      @jasonb2180 6 місяців тому +1

      I had the same thought. For the price of the set (and the cymbals), one could get a very high-end set, real cymbals, and a good electronic set with cymbal pads. Very nice drums for sure, in any case.

    It is a good sounding e kit, very seamless technology inside a real high end drum kit. When tuned as fine as Tony did, it made drum samples sound cheap, specially the snare, and that to me is the best thing, because if it fails, you end up with a true high end instrument. BTW the drum samples are excellent, so also there's that. First e kit that truly surprised me because is beautiful. something I really want to play because of how it looks and feel and not because I need to, due to volume or space issues

    • @thomaskennydrums
      @thomaskennydrums 6 місяців тому +1

      The presence of the triggers would almost definitely ruin the acoustic sound of the drum, in order to receive signal they need to touch the batter head in the centre and edge which would noticeably mute the head, and I imagine the presence of the assembly between the batter and resonant head would have a pretty major negative impact on the sound. I also can't imagine the trigger responding well to a mylar head, both in terms of receiving notes and physical wear on the trigger.

    Great kit. I love that finish. The acoustic was tuned and mixed very well. Great job!
    The cost of $11K is high, but when you think about all that you get for that.... a full 5 piece kit, full cymbal pak, all the hardware, hi-hat stand, DW5000 bass pedal, combo tom & cymbal stands, and the Soundworks software with the interfaces, plus, etc.
    And, you get a true 9-ply maple acoustic kit. All you need is acoustic heads and cymbals. With it being electronic, no mics needed. I think with all you get, along with the wireless techbology, it is fairly priced. However, I think they should give you the acoustic heads and a Zildjian acoustic cymbal pak to truly give you the works! Then, it would be even more worthy of the price tag.
    If electronic drummers trade-in or sell the e-kit they currently have and purchase this one, the price really becomes even more attractive.

    what happened in history with the development of drums and technology in terms of some kind of innovation is that the acoustic drum always sounded better than any hybrid version. it is certainly convenient to have a combination of an acoustic drum and some modules where the diversity of sounds is completed and as such they are integrated into the whole picture of the production itself. I think that the charm and the possibilities of the interpretation itself, which the acoustic drum provides, are being lost.

  • @patricetrahan7287

    Absolutely great product, the idea of wireless electronics is genius. As a weekender musician, this has huge potential going back and forth between an acoustic drum and a edrum based on room size and venue style, or depending on the need and the sounds are both incredibly good - kuddos!!!!
    Now, that being said, the targetted audience for such a product is unclear to me. The pricetag these carry definitely aims at pro to semi-pro players with a lot of money and this community of drummers likely has enough money to purchase distinct drums (acoustic and edrum) so they might not necessarily go for a swiss knife this kit is. So it leaves the weekender as the targetted audience but at that pricetag, you have to be a wealthy one… so while being an exceptionnal product, I’m not sure I’m willing to lay down the amount of money required.
    I’ll sleep on it for a while and continue micing my drums up til I make a final decision :)

      I think the target audience is the same it's always been with electronic drums
      1. Places where mic placement is highly problematic because of feedback, bleed, etc.
      2. Places where playing with acoustic drums is problematic because of volume levels, mic placement---i.e. small rooms, playing with choirs, churches, etc.
      3. Situations where drummers are playing a WIDE variety of styles in a single song set and drummers want to switch sounds between charts.
      4. Practice (or recording) in an apartment or similar environment where volume levels must be tightly controlled.

    • @StereoAnthony
      @StereoAnthony 6 місяців тому +2

      I agree, I don't believe the potential target market is even big enough to generate much in sales, as you mentioned, most of players likely have a large collection of acoustic drums to begin with.
      The big prize here is the wireless trigger system.
      Having a beautiful DW kit would be nice, sure, but I think the vast majority of people playing electronic drums, are doing so for the variety of reason @ChurchWorship outlined.
      Personally, I'd take all the triggers and put them in any old shell, just to have the wireless capabilities.
      We'll see what Roland releases with their new flagship kits with this tech in them.

      I would prefer this trigger system be built into pads I could purchase, but if the system becomes available in this format, I'll likely buy a cheap acoustic kit, and cut down the shells to make them as thin as possible.

    It looks like it's be pitched via Roland's sales model of the VAD706, with preset shell, sizes and finishes. I was looking forward to the DW 'customisation' model, which this is not & doesnt make a switch from my expanded 706 to a DW wireless an option. When will DW allow you to order the finish you want, the wood shell you'd like & in the sizes you'd like? That's when this becomes a contender for me to replace the VAD706.

      @@adamfrost3722 I'd not considered it as an all-in-one for practice and recording at HOME. I got hung up on the video suggesting edrums for home and acoustic for the road and couldn't help think that anyone who can drop $10k on an ekit for home doesn't need it to be convertible.

    I agree that this is an amazing breakthrough in technology. I still don’t think that the cymbals are to the point where they can be used professionally but the drums sound fantastic and I bet in a mix it would be impossible to determine that it is an electric kit. I think that the real audience for something like this is a touring arena drummer. Pair the tubs with some real cymbals and I bet you would have an amazing sounding kit that would be really easy to setup and tear down and get the same sound night after night no matter what room you are playing in. As with any new technology it is always expensive at first but will eventually trickle down to a more reasonable price point. I assume that this will be no different. I’m curious, are you able to play the set with the triggers and real heads? That would be pretty cool and the best of both worlds

    Pretty amazing, and a real treat to wake up to find these out now. This will most certainly be totally game changing technology.
    I would imagine that Roland will start releasing some of their own wireless high end kits, that will be at least cheaper than these.
    The market demographic for these will be pros or the big touring bands that can afford it, which I don't imagine it too big in the first place,
    so if the company wants to make any money they 'll need to make them more accessible.
    I imagine it's only a matter of time until Yamaha, Alesis, or any of the others will reverse engineer the tech.
    I hope we'll see just the trigger system available at some point. Very excited either way!
    What a time to be alive!

    The quest for electronic drums continues. I started drumming in the mid 80’s and I remember when the Simmons pads came out and drummers started using them. I hated them….they sounded fake and felt terrible. 40 years later demo’d a new electronic kit last year…it was better but I still didn’t like the sound or the feel. This DWe looks really promising and I thought maybe they’ve finally cracked it. Nope. While I love that this is wireless and am intrigued by the idea of a hybrid kit, I can’t tell you how much dislike the way those electronic cymbals sound. And in the end when you compare the sounds of the kit in the acoustic mode vs. electronic it’s still no comparison to me. I’m sticking with good old fashioned acoustic drums (well I will if I ever get back into drumming). Now excuse me while I go yell at kids to get off my lawn. 😉

  • @paulv22
    @paulv22 6 місяців тому +1

    Very cool, but it looks like it could be pretty easily adapted to most acoustic kits. You just need a shelf for the triggers to rest on inside the shell and that could be screwed under the lugs.

    Curious if they’ll offer the triggers/cymbals and the receiver separately. This would be a lot more compelling if you already own a high end kit and want to also have a quick and easy e kit on hand, without actually having a second kit. For the convenience and lack of wires I would think the right buyers would be willing to shell out between 3000 and 4000 for that…

    • @adamfrost3722
      @adamfrost3722 6 місяців тому +1

      The kit comes with both mesh heads for the e-drums (which are very quiet), and Mylar heads for the acoustic. The snare drum is 5 zone with great rimshot and cross stick. Plus the throw off actually works too!

  • @joc8
    @joc8 6 місяців тому

    To my ears, the drums when in electronic mode, had that "arena" sound, and the cymbals sounded overly bright and "tinny". With the triggers removed, it reverted back sonically to the acoustic kit we know and love... more layered, multi-dimensional, and dynamic. It certainly is an interesting path that manufacturers, and consumers, are going down, but lets not take out the human element too much. Anyway, just a thought.

    Many cheers to the cut away gags in this video. My Computer into the trashcan lol. How heavy are these drums? Not actual weight. No. I am wondering in comparison to picking up a typical weight kit vs a heavy weight kit. Was this kit heavier with the electronic gear inside than anything you have picked up before? Was it substantially heavier? Was it moderately heavier? Was it not so heavy at all? Thank you.

    • @adamfrost3722
      @adamfrost3722 6 місяців тому

      It’s about the same weight as a traditional collectors, because the lugs are a bit smaller and the weight of the triggers is minimal.

    • @philphilison1623

  • @bacbladerunner
    @bacbladerunner 6 місяців тому +1

    1) Even listening with just my phone, the acoustic setup sounded WAY better.
    2) Although the idea of having both acoustic and electric sounded appealing at the start, 1-2 hours to change them over is just rediculous. If it's once or twice a year, that's fine. But to change from practice to gig, back and forth, and have to re-tune, NO way!
    Question: Why can't the drums be played acoustically with the modules installed? That's the only way this makes sense.

    • @adamfrost3722
      @adamfrost3722 6 місяців тому

      The module sensors contact the heads, which would kill all resonance and sustain if left inside when playing acoustically. Especially with the bass drum.

  • @jonno509

    • @listener84
      @listener84 5 місяців тому +1

      The cymbals, especially the hi hat are very noisy. It was a definitely no go at my church when they realized they’re still have to put up plexiglass just to block the sound of them. Stiff as a board too, putting in a good amount of time on these cymbals is not going to be good on the wrists. Stiffer than the old school Simmons plastic pads. The VST sounds alright though. If I was going to do that route, it would be on something with better feel. Played them in GC and couldn’t believe how loud.
