I love Yamaha Drums...dont get me wrong, and there are many other awesome electronic drum sets out there. But it is a pet peve of mine when companies roll out with the words "Professional" or "Touring" in their literature and they are not really capable of being truly mixed by a professional sound engineer. For you new drummers out there, take it from a 29 year music veteran, when you have reached "pro" status as a drummer, you will not need a company to tell you that their equipment is for professional use. You will be able to figure that out for yourself. If you dont know the difference then you are probably not a "pro" anyway and you will not need to worry about buying a "pro" kit. All that language is just put out there to hook new drummers and sell product. The only two electronic drums sets on the market right now that I would even call "pro" grade are the (Yamaha DTXtreme Special) with 6 individual outputs, and the (Roland TD-20S) with 8 individual outputs. Anything else is just a practice kit. You will make a horse's patooty out of yourself if you present a single track mono or stereo output from a drumset to a professional soundman for a mix.

]]> Comment on What do acoustic drum triggers do? Can they be hooked up to a drum module and act as electronic drums? by Bazybeats http://www.drumbeginner.com/electronic-drums/what-do-acoustic-drum-triggers-do-can-they-be-hooked-up-to-a-drum-module-and-act-as-electronic-drums/309/comment-page-1#comment-1516 Bazybeats Tue, 04 Aug 2009 12:41:35 +0000 http://www.drumbeginner.com/electronic-drums/what-do-acoustic-drum-triggers-do-can-they-be-hooked-up-to-a-drum-module-and-act-as-electronic-drums#comment-1516 The only draw back to the triggers is that they are not good for rolls and will sometimes not pick up other quick beats such as 32nd and 64 notes depending on how the sensitivity is set in the module. But you run a fine line with setting the sensitivity real low because then you will start picking up spuratic triggering from sympathetic resonance or even just bumping your leg against the drum, etc. I have even gotten sympathetic resonance from the singer coming through my monitor before. It is not cool when the singer is triggering his own trash can drum rolls from the mic.

It cost me only $20 but it records with great quality for a one track system (up to 320 bits), and I record from my "line in" on my computer instead of the "Mic" input.

Good work with your DIY kit. Please may I ask: How do you get the rim shot sound? How do you wire the switch on the hit hats? And did you design the module / brain? Yours is the best DIY one I've seen. Is it possible to get a copy of the circuit diagram? Many thanks and kind regrds, Tony Hi Dror. Good work with your DIY kit. Please may I ask:
