Old School '80s edrums added to my ECX kit
Back in the '80s I bought a Tama TechStar 5305 edrum kit to follow the trend of the pop music back then but I never had the PA and support gear needed to play these drums at a gig.
Fast forward nearly 25 years and I finally have a PA so I decided to dust off the voice module and dug out a few drum pads and I was pleasantly surprised.
Although these are the budget" version of ekits back in the '80s, the analog setting on each drum voice and the flexiability created many different sounds but there is no way to store these voices and there is only one pre-set factory setting.
Besides those drawbacks, the TechStar 5305 still provides some unique sounds and I can use these different voices to cover some '80s tunes my band may cover in the future.

Awesome. Would love to hear that if you can record at gig/practice.
I have an old Synare 3 (photo below)...
Very 80s--space pod-like.

Wow..I haven't seen one of those in years! Very cool! By all means yes, as soon as I can updgrade my soundcard in my computer I'll host some clips.Thanks for sharing the pic. It brought back fond memories of the '80s, an era which I still love as far as the music is concerned.Awesome. Would love to hear that if you can record at gig/practice.
