drum setsBuy here… http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/drums/electronic/alesis-dm6-usb-electronic-drum-kit The Alesis DM6 USB Electronic Drum Kit features realistic, natural-feeling playing surfaces, to reduce vibration feedback, Alesis selected natural rubber drum and cymbal surfaces for the DM6 USB Kit’s pads. This five-piece kit gets you started on a dual-zone snare pad for dual-sound compatibility so for example you can assign a snare drum sound in the centre of the drum and a rim click, rimshot, or something totally different like a cowbell on the rim ..

The DM6 USB Kit also comes with three tom pads, an upright kick drum pad, hi-hat, crash, and ride cymbal pads. Alesis have included their own bass drum pedal and the kick pad is compatible with any single or double bass drum pedal that would suit your own personal feel.

Withe the Alesis DM6 USB the user can edit and save customised sound drum kits and in all there are 10 pre-sets and 5 customisable memory patches. In addition to the sounds in the DM6 module, there’s a USB output that sends the notes you play out as MIDI signal, so you can use the DM6 as a trigger-to-MIDI interface with drum-module software such as BFD, Toontrack, or Reason for an alternative collection of sounds.

The DM6 has headphone and amplifier outputs so you can play undisturbed using the phones or connect up to an amplified audio source and rock out, there’s also the ability to connect an iPod or CD player and mix it in with the DM6′s stereo input jack. The DM6 module has a metronome, an essential tool for keeping steady time whether you’re practicing alone or with a band, additionally the Alesis DM6 USB also has a built-in sequencer with 40 pre-set music tracks for play along to.

The DM6 USB Kit mounts onto a heavy-duty aluminum rack and the standard 1 1/2″ tubing enables you to expand and grow the kit with Alesis’s own and other brands’ clamps and mounts. The kit also comes with a full set of mounting hardware and cables, as well as rugged kick drum and hi-hat pedals.

Trigger EZDrummer With Electronic Drums!


electronic drumsThis is EZDrummer in the VPT (Virtual Percussion Technology)system with an RET Percussion drum kit. RET recently contacted me to do a series of VPT videos to show how Easy and Awesome VPT really is. Here, we’re using EZDrummer, but any combination using great software samples of your choice is also cool.

I was literally setup and playing/recording in ONE HOUR! Not only was I very impressed by how quick and comfortabe I felt using this system, but the sounds!

I can’t even begin to describe how well these samples are recorded!

If you’re not familiar with software samples: They are ACTUAL recordings of ACTUAL drums like Tama – DW – Pearl – Mapex – Orange County – GMS – Yamaha – and Many others! Now, I can play an RET kit that feels acoustic, with the same look and sound of an acoustic! It beats using a module sound, hands down.

This truly is the future of drumming.

As always, please leave a comment or send me a personal message. I understand if these messages include massive amounts of exclamation points… this is HUGE!!!!!!!

Cheers to all, and keep on rockin’!!!

Homemade Electronic Drum Kit:Coltronics Kit-e

electronic drumsThis is my homemade electronic drum set. I call it the Coltronics Kit-e (“Kitty”). I made this video to show how I put it all together in case you might be thinking about making your own electronic drum kit. I came up with my own design. It started with a piezoelectric transducer soldered to a couple of wires and connected to a quarter inch phone jack. By trial-and-error, it morphed into what youre seeing in this video.
Ive had it for a number of years but its held up well. Im pleased with its design. Its compact. It works well. It was relatively inexpensive to put together using materials that are fairly easy to obtain. So check out the video. I hope it gives you some ideas.
