Yes! I'm just about to reboot my channel, and the first thing I'm doing is a massive kick drum training program! My feet have developed a lot from this video and I will share all my knowledge very soon
Michael Smirnov To be honest I have never really looked at the spd-sx. I bought the Octapad as an accompaniment to my TD-20X and it's portability and versatility qualified it to make the trip with me when I moved across the world. I now use Maschine for my sampling needs and keep the Octapad as a replacement drum kit for practice purposes mostly! What are your thoughts on the sx?
I looking for less pricey portable-less-noisy setup for home. and i just feel so frustrated about octapad size and form factor and things like its "not real drum size". But i dont care about it when i whatch video like this. I looking for expanding my set in future and its so SPD-sx its not my deal
Michael Smirnov yeah man, my whole philosophy on drumming is that rhythm is rhythm and whether you're playing a drum kit, an Octapad, a school desk or a bucket, it's all about satisfying rhythmical expression. This type of drumming doesn't focus on the large movements the way playing a drum kit does, but it focuses the smaller movements and emphasises accuracy really well. It's been beneficial for me at any rate! I hope you find what works for you 👍
If you are using as a midi trigger and dont need onboard sampling, the spd-30 has two velocity switched notes per pad plus it has more and trigger inputs and hi hat controller input. I think the pads feel better vs the spd-sx as well.
Hi yeah, so I did have downstairs neighbours for a while and drumming was an issue. Not just from the pedals but also from the Octapad itself. My solution was to buy an Advanced Acoustics soundstage, which is like a floating platform held up on foam supports I also tried the Roland Noise Eaters but found they were a bit useless for eliminating noise. The most important thing is to get isolation between the pedals/Octapad stand and the floor.
@@limitlessdrums2680 thank you for your response. I was thinking of the KT-10 pedals in combination with the Roland noise eater NE-10s. You did not find these helpful to decouple the pedals from the ground? I was hoping these would be a nice solution, also cause their relatively small (fitting the pedal footprint). I will look into the alternative option you mention.
@@analog_ape yeah. I guess it depends what your floors are made of, and you can of course fold some blankets to put underneath to absorb some noise. I think the Roland NEs are very expensive for what they do but not worthless. I do definitely recommend these pedals for the Octapad though, I think that's a smart buy :)
Awesome video dude! I got a question and was hoping you would be able to help, I've got an Spd-30 and EZ-Drummer as well but I can't seem to get the Hi-hat to work properly..any tips or maybe something I'm doing wrong, thanks!
Hey there, I never did get the hi-hat controller functioning properly with EZ-Drummer. My vague solution was to apply a closed sound to the pad below a certain velocity, and an open sound for an accent. There might be a way, but my own research couldn't dig it up. Maybe contact Toontrack...unless you already found an answer?
THAT is INSANE!!! 🙌🏼😝🤘🏼
Nailed it 👍 Awesome playing 🙂
Dude those Heel toe doubles are really nice
Advanced metal playing right there
Are you planning on making a tutorial on that technique some time?
Yes!

@@limitlessdrums2680 awesome! looking forward!
Hey I love this video. Can you send me exactly what you are playing with. Thanks bro
hello do you recommend spd30 or alesis strike multipad? to be used as a mini kit. you are fantastic!
Hi there. Nice video. Why did you decide to buy spd against spd-sx?
Need more metal video. Cheers.

What are your thoughts on the sx?
I just looking for same setup. Actually your video is represent my thought about what I want. Especially with double kt-10 pedals.

Do you have neighbors downstairs? Any issues? I'm considering the kt-10 pedals.

@@limitlessdrums2680 I'll try them out at my local music store soon. Thanks!

Limitless Drums thanks for the response. I'll try to contact them and if I get an answer I'll post it here. Thanks again
Make sure you select cc4 as the control for the Hi Hat
