Having a tough time getting sucked into the music with their current tones. Trying to see if I can mic up my set (5 + 2 overheads) from the reso head and closer to the cymbals and use every effect in my setup to see if I can get them to sound at least acceptable. Should transfer to acoustic way better than my previous setup, but haven’t had enough time with them or transitioned to loud drums after a long stretch to know how well I adjust yet. Having the same spread and dead feeling heads is definitely a step in the right direction, but.taking a bit to get used to the differences. Playing without isolation is a huge plus. So many raving reports on how awesome they are, but I just don’t know yet. I was way slower, sounded super choppy, because the sticks wouldn’t come back and the spread of the real drums would throw things off even more.Į-kits wouldn’t solve any of that, so down the path of the L80s and SuperPads I went. I’d get things down to where they sounded fantastic on the pads, then find that moment when noise wasn’t going to be an issue, just to realize I couldn’t transfer the same to the acoustic set.
What I absolutely hate most about the pads are their nothing like drums feedback and compact size. When I finally gave up on the possibility of getting on the kit with frequency, I started looking into the alternates.
GO PLAY ALONG 4 CRACKS FULL
I actually got the pads in 18, when she first complained, but banished to them pretty much full time this year. Strangely, it hasn’t been all negative! Since there’s no point in putting headphones on and jamming along to something, I’ve been working on patterns and brain twisters.
I’ve probably spent 99% of my playing time in 2019 on my DW Smart Practice pads. If that happens, it seems I’m pulled away for something as well. There’s literally never where I’m off work, where she’s not around. This is the first house I’ve had where I had the freedom to play and have pretty regularly, but I guess my time ran out. My neighbors haven’t complained at all, but my wife started to about a year ago and now is vehemently against the noise. Muffling and deadening the existing setup might go a long way, and maybe getting a bit more aggressive with the sound isolation in the room. I'm going to research them.Īlso, I'm isolated from the neighbors enough that I don't need to be as silent as I would in an apartment or something. A quick Google on the RTOMs tells me they are a different animal from what I tried. I played a kit with replacement practice heads once and they were all wrong feel wise. It's certainly an option worth considering though if it comes to it. And as mentioned, the cymbals and hi-hat are all wrong. Similar thing with bass drum speed and technique. For example, doing a double stroke roll on an e-kit doesn't translate to a real snare, nevermind a buzz roll. It was fun to play along with songs, but aside from limb coordination I don't feel like the practice translates well to "real" drums. I had a middle of the line Roland mesh head kit for a number of years.
