Hey guys!
I finally pulled the trigger on a TD-516. The Set is hooked up to my PC using a wireless Mouse/Keyboard. Im looking for some inspiration for a base which i can rotate back and forth when i need the mouse and keyboard.
Would be really happy if you guys could share your ideas/pictures on how you managed to set this up!
Hi all
It’s been a long time since I’ve played guitar and my hub bought me an electric drum kit years ago, but I never got around to using it. We are trying to put it together for our son now.
I’m not sure if you can, but I have a spider iv amp, can this be used with the kit?
The kit is Yamaha DTX402K.
Here is a photo of the buttons on the amp.
Please could anyone help with what to set each to for the kit? Any other advice appreciated. Thanks!
I used SSD-5 Free and GarageBand. Tried mixing it to the album by memory. It kinda sounds like Lamb of God too. Any recommendations on how to get it closer?
The title says it all!
I basically want to make a system with purely wireless drums. Something like what DW has. But when I saw how crazy expensive their system is, I was like hold up this is fairly easy tech I'm SURE it's not nearly as expensive to build. So for our drummer peeps who can't shell out 10 grand for a piece of tech that one would think is decades old (i.e. low latency wireless tech), I started researching how to do it on my own!
I'm not an electronics engineer, I am a software guy. Hence when starting out I didn't have the first clue on how to go about this. But as I kept on just building random shit, I learned quite a bit!
Anyway, stay tuned! I am hoping to get the wireless system built and tested within the week! And if there are any electronics engineers here who would like to help out, I would be more than happy!
I’ve recent been using Superior Drummer 3 Death & Darkness SDX for everything. It’s a very versatile library.
Anyone else here used it?
What’s your favourite VST right now?

So I have set the SD3 preset to the td50x in superior drummer 3 even though I have the TD 27 and calibrated the hihat, using all the things in the module and under the settings in SD3 and selected a preset kit in SD3 making a minor tweak swapping out a kick drum, but there’s still a HH articulation that is loud for some reason and it’s the one that is “not mid mapped” but also when I wanna play like loud sizzle half open hats like in the middle of a rock song where they’re kind of half open, but I’m hitting it moderate- hard It just kind of falls apart. Also, the transitions between the articulations are really not smooth. These digital hats are really not impressive. I must be doing something wrong.
Also, I seem to be getting machine gunning on the digital snare. The low velocity hits are really quite loud and machine gun sounding even though I only have the velocity curve in the modules set to log1.
Maybe I need to build a kit from scratch in superior drummer three or something is it possible that they articulations and the kit preset that I’m using are not doing what I want or something?
im a beginner drummer who is looking for a good kit that has at least 8-10 inch sized toms
Im looking to buy my first ever kit. My budget is pretty tight so ive been looking on marketplace and see a couple Roland TD4's. Ik the kit is very old by now but how does it hold up against something like the alesis nitro line?
Hello, looking to pick up a powered pa speaker after my Roland pm100 died. Have a line on an ev zlx 12p gen 1. I’m looking at the inputs online and it has a standard headphone audio in and these combo inputs and an xlr out. Can I plug the previous audio cable I was using on the pm100 from my mono out on my td17 module into a combo input?
So I am currently using a Yamaha DTX2 drum brain to send out Mitty to my nordpad. I’m using the bass drum tower and one of the drums at the moment, but I have another idea. I want to put triggers on my acoustic drums that would feed into the drum brain, but I want to be able to turn off and on the signal from the triggers to the brain and I want to be able to do this with my foot. I know I need a momentarily on switch. I’m just not sure what the best way to break the signal along the way, I would be looking to send four trigger signals based on high Tom low Tom in Midtown to trigger CGAF as an example your thoughts?
I have been using NUX-DM210 for a while now. I really don't like the module preset kits. What can I do to make it sound better.
I recently purchased an Evans sensory setup with a couple extra cymbal sensors. I haven’t seen a ton of new content about the sensory and wanted to try out some things to see what all worked. I thought maybe some of you guys would be curious about it as well. If there is anything that you would like me to try, let me know and I’ll give it a shot!
So far, I have managed to midi out the sensors from sensory into the td-27 and will say it works quite well. I have also ran individual pads into the line/aux inputs on sensory. You can assign those to drum pads and it triggers dynamics from a normal piezo very well. Anything else?
I have a alesis nitro max, i got it yesterday, ive been having problems with the snare since yesterday it keeps flopping and bending down, today while i was playing my snare fell down along with the entire bar i inspected the clamp and saw the attached image
What can i do? If anyone has experienced anything similar or has knowledge please help 🙏
I’m stuck trying to pick which VST to buy.
I’m looking to layer or stack drum samples.
I’ve tried the demo of Addictive Drums 2 and it was pretty good.
Is there a demo for SD3?
I mostly play rock punk and metal.
Help me choose between AD2 & SD3.
If you're anything like me you love synthesizers but prefer to play drums even more. That's why DrumMate Labs brings you Drummate - the real time generative arranger. Choose a harmony, play a groove and Drummate composes and performs a four-piece band that adapts to your playing. It's not a backing track player. It's a band brain. You're playing is the clock and the feel. A chord midi is the harmonic roadmap. The arranger composes bass keys pad and lead from both and voices them through its internal synth engine It can even play the whole performance as MIDI to control external synthesizers. The file you load and the MIDI you send are opposite ends of one brain and never touch. Check it out here: https://drummate.app/
I'm getting back into drums. I got a Yamaha dtx8pro. I used to play in a band with regular gigs and rehearsals. I am very familiar with drum maintenance however not too familiar with eDrum maintenance.
How regularly do you play a similar e-kit? How often do you have to replace parts and what parts are you replacing?
Is a kit like this reliable on stage or even on tour?
Recently, I found a great deal on Facebook Marketplace and pulled the trigger. I'm excited to start the journey.
I've been learning on and off since around 2020. Over the past year or so, I've been heavily focused on developing my technique using a practice pad and a DW Go Anywhere practice kit. I also practice rudiments consistently and keep a structured practice routine.
Now that I have a full electronic kit, what advice would you give for the next step? I'm especially interested in things you wish you'd focused on earlier, habits that made the biggest difference, or mistakes to avoid.

I’m trying to expand my drum set, currently I was running the VAD307 with just the stock. I purchased two more toms, and two additional symbols along with the standard MDS 2 drum rack. To have the same configuration as my acoustic drum set. I want to make my at-home kit feel just like the real thing. Does anyone have any experience using the Roland V51? I know with the TD – 17 module, there was drum splitters that I needed to be bought, but I’m starting to see that the Roland V51, has three more aux ports, and two ports for an additional tom and a crash. Any help would be great. I can’t find much on YouTube.
Después de probarlo durante un mes, puedo decir que estoy muy contento con la compra, y lo recomiendo totalmente como kit para principiantes! El módulo es súper minimalista, pero si conectas un celular por vía Bluetooth aparecen todas las opciones para personalizar la experiencia! Si bien trae 13 pre sest, la posibilidad de armar 3 Kits personalizados ayuda mucho! Yo personalice 2 Kits que me gustaron mucho. Todos los pads son de mesh de 8 pulgadas y el de snare tiene doble sensor,uno para el aro.El pad de bombo se siente muy bien teniendo en cuenta la gama del producto, como en todos estos Kits lo que podría mejorar es el pedal de hi hat! Pero la verdad se deja manejar bastante bien. Cómo dije antes verdaderamente conforme con este kit! Lo único que pensaría en cambiar más adelante sería el de snare por unos 10 pulgadas al menos.Saludos y espero que pueda ayudar a alguien!
