depends on your budget. If you can afford something like a Roland TD20, it has plenty or inputs as well as several aux inputs. You can split each of the tom head and rim inputs to give you extras as...

Yamaha and Roland use different methods for the hi hat controller. One uses a switch (Yamaha) while Roland uses an FSR (force sensitive resistor) to create the open/close on the hi hat. As you've...
I'm not very familiar with the Session Pro DD505, but I am familiar with the KD-9, it should have no problem with a double pedal, even at high tempo. The issue may be the module. The one thing I did...
It happens. I told my band I was leaving last month. I told them that I wasn't enjoying the music any longer and that I would fulfill any gigs we had booked until they found a replacement. Tomorrow...
I started with a TD -3 as well. I fell into a very good trade deal on a PDP rack with 2 side wings and 6 clamps. I took it to a friend of mine and had him cut the height down a few inches and cut it...
When learning new songs I tend to listen to it over and over before I ever sit behind my kit. For each of my bands, I make up a usb drive with all the songs we do in the order of the sets and always...
Thanks for the feedback, everyone.
Signia Fan, I'm familiar with most of the OLG casinos, especially Woodstock, Western Fair and Flamboro (I was a slot tech and later worked in surveillance at...
you either need to really focus on technique and not hitting rimshots all the time (that will really add dynamics to your playing as well) or, option2: drop your snare stand an inch or so. Option 3:...
One of my bands has been booked for a gig in one of the OLG (Ontario lottery and gaming corp.) casinos. We received our contract and it basically states that during our time there we are considered...
My heart goes out to everyone who's life cancer has affected. I mentioned in a previous thread that I was diagnosed with colon cancer July of last year. I'm happy to say that as of now, I am cancer...
My band has been booked twice in a club very similar to this one. In my opinion they have no business booking bands in the venue and then complaining about noise, they would be much better of with an...
I've done the conversion using the jungle jig on my 16ft and can confirm the opti-mount is a better choice if you can afford it.
Although I've never been a Beatles fan, I have played with a few tribute bands, so I understand the time and effort that goes into learning these songs note for note like that, well done. Drums sound...
I would have to go with Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello) I've always found him to be really imaginative with patterns while keeping it rock solid.

For something like that, buy the reso head you want, then go to a sign maker and have them cut a vinyl decal for you. If it's a one color design it will be easy and pretty cheap to have done. A good...
I've had some pretty good luck with Bandmix, much better than Kijiji or CL.
A drummer buddy of mine found out he was being replaced through Bandmix. I saw an ad for a drummer and checked it out,...
I've only done it privately. Traded my Tama Superstars' even for my Pearl Masters Custom kit that I have now.
Looking at the manual for the DTX502 (if that's your module) it supports these midi notes for the hihat. Only open/closed and foot close/splash, no half and 3/4 open.
hihat Open 46 A# 1 46 A# 1...
Exactly! Solder a jumper wire from the end of the trace wire on one side of the crack and bridge it to the other side. You can secure it with hot glue if you have a gun handy. Aside from that, I have...
I use my e-kit for small clubs and gigs that are low volume situations. I trigger a vst and spend a lot of time tweaking the kits to sound good live. I use a small Roland amp for a personal monitor...
Oh No....peanuts aren't allowed in schools :snooty:
Agreed. If your end goal is reduce noise then amplifying the drums seems counter productive. I second the suggestion of buying a good pair of isolation headphones.
From experience, the PDPs' are a great kit for converting. I converted my 7pc LX kit a while ago and it has been very good to me. I went with a cheap module out of the gate (Roland TD-3) and learned...
New from NAMM this year. These will be worth keeping an eye on over the next few months. Everything is nicely self contained, easy install, perfect for a hybrid setup. The prediction is it will reach...
The 2box is a nice module and there are some nice mods that can make it even better. One you may have to look into is the hi hat mod. If you are using a Roland setup now, it wont work with the 2box...
