RTOM DBS Dual Surface Practice Pad review
This is a review of the RTOM DBS Dual Surface Practice Pad. The one side is the classic Moongel material for strength and endurance, while the other is a new rubber pad to help you build your technique and speed.
I own an Evans, Prologix and several other pads but this is the one I reach for when I want to practice my rudiments or double strokes. If you are a drummer, and like playing rudiments this is 100% something you should add to your wish list. My hand speed has increased for my blast beats, and my drum fills are getting faster and tighter using it.
If you want to get faster playing the drums, playing rudiments and pushing yourself to a metronome is the best possible way to do this. I play a lot of blast beats in my metal band and need to keep my endurance up for live shows and recording new material at a high BPM.

Favorite stock sample on the tm-2 for kick if you didn't have a sample?
@grantcoffman2698 tough to say it's been so long. There are plenty of kick samples to download all over online though
Good video, I am just getting back into triggering and I wanted an Alesis because of the rack mounting option. You got some quick feet there too, dang \m/
@ckyro121 thanks. I'd check out thr TM2 though. Way better than the alesis
Your drums sound great. What brand model? What heads?
@@richwilson5969 Pearl MCX Evans heads
That’s a very good sounding snare. Wow.
Whats with the snare wire? Complete tight?
Would you consider your tuning 4D / 4G, as a high snare tuning? Most times its always only talked about low / med / high....but where starts or ends these categories more or less?
Oh my goodness!!! This is the exact video I have been looking for!!! You will not believe how long I have been looking for a video to help me with my tuning and the rest of them are so terrible and non detailed. This really helped me so much and now my toms actually sound good!
That is such an awesome thing to hear!!! I love sharing this stuff to help out others. Rock on!!
Great video toms sounds so good how would i recreate with the tune bot?
3M Scotch-Brite scrubbing pads are fir better for sanding drums during the ckearciat stages. I worked in a cabinet shop for years. I built and repaired druns for over 30 years. When we discovered the 3M pads, it was a game changer. For clearcoat, I prefer wipe on poly if you aren't spraying the clear coat on.
What do you think about practising double stroke on such low rebound surface?? Will it cause some tendencies issue on fingers or wrists??
Hmmmm. That's a good question. I think it would be difficult but it would really build your strength and control over the strokes. I know for myself I NEED the rebound so I'd have a very hard time doing it. If you had tighter springs and got it working it would help transition to not using such a tight head which would be good.
Nope, still dont know how you guys get this stuff working. I hook up my ekit, install asio4all, set everything to my realtek audio devices. Nothing. Audio doesnt work, bfdplayer vst doesnt recognize my ekit (works just fine on my pc without reaper), and it doesn't record my drum audio at all. (Infact it even excludes the rest of my pc's audio instead of sharing and stays that way even when i close reaper. I had to shut off my pc 3 times only to just give up on having any audio on my pc while trying to fix this.) I've even tried WASAPI, but all i ever get is feedback loops and there is no option to just simply record system audio. The ekit on reaper only works if i set it to midi, no audio or anything and no vst BFD recognition. Spent 4-5 hours and I've nearly thrown my keyboard at the wall just trying to figure any of this stuff out.
Wish I could remote in and help ya man. This stuff has a bit of a learning curve but one's you figure it out it should be easy after. First step. Get the ekit working in the vst with midi. Even if you can't hear it you can see the drums hit when you hit the pads. That part has to work or your out of luck. After that you can spend time clicking on the drums while screwing around with audio and not getting up and down constantly. I have some concerns when you install all these drivers and audio filters as they make large changes. Might be easier to reinstall windows if you screw it up bad enough. If you can hear the drums in waveout while hitting the pads there is latency but that's what your computer audio will use. If the audio works in thr VST without reaper then open it in reaper and confirm hits are registering. Same thing goes again. It's 99% an audo routing issue.
@@beyondbetrayal Appreciate the reply. I was able to bandaid a solution together. Hopefully this might help someone else out too. It isn't perfect, but with a latency of 2 ms, I can't be too upset. So let's say what I did first with the VST. So the VST was set to the master track, not track 1. So setting it to track 1 fixed that. Next, let's just get it out the door, asio HATES me. For some reason, it will not work no matter what I do. It's probably because the soundcard I have is embedded into my mobo instead of having an actual designated one, thus needing to use realtek for all my sound-based needs. So what I did was use WASAPI set my audio device to "Stereo Mix (Realtek(R)Audio) for the input. This pretty much just uses whatever the system sends to whatever default speakers the pc uses for headphones/auxillary input mostly. As for the output, I set it to Speakers (Realtek(R)Audio). DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU ARE RECORDING AUDIO (ONLY USE IT FOR WHEN YOU ARM THE TRACK FOR CREATING MIDIS). IF YOU TRY TO RECORD AUDIO, THIS WILL CREATE A FEEDBACK LOOP AND DEAFEN YOUR EARS! If you do want to record audio, you have to set it to a separate device like a tv or monitor's built-in speakers for the output. However it worked fine for me when needing to make midis. Since wasapi had horrible latency, I set realtek device to have incredibly high studio quality 192000 hz and matched it in the samplerate. To fix the issue with not hearing the rest of my pc, I set it to shared mode in wasapi. ANOTHER THING asio hates. I'm Still figuring out alot of things like quantizing the midi so not every note is a 1/64th note and how to adjust/create notes in the midi editor, but other than that, atleast I'm not throwing my keyboard at the wall anymore.
Yooo. I know this is an old video but i wanted to ask if you think 290 bpm is possible with a relatively loose bass skin? My springs are maxxed out and my beater is at more than 45 degrees (almost closer to the footboard than the actuall drum), but i feel like i just cant get enough power at around 230 double strokes. Moving the beater closer to the drum skin or loosening the spring just gives me even less power
Oh ya. If you work at it anything is possible. 290 is crazy fast though. And in reality, the faster you are playing the less distance from the head you have to rebound. Same goes for single strokes on the hands. Mics and a good compressor or triggers are the way around that. Not many people hit 290 on the feet without a trigger.
@@beyondbetrayal but if I put the beaters closer to the head then I basically have no velocity towards the bass drum when striking, meaning even less rebound, and even less power. I'm currently at 220-240 ich after 3 days of using the a21 or any longboat for that matter and, I'm just worried because at about 230 the power on the second stroke is barely there
@@Evixus-gr1dm That's where spring tension comes into play. it all works in harmony, spring tension, head tension, beater distance, and practice.
@@beyondbetrayal but my springs are maxxed. Are you suggesting loosening them? I tried that but that just makes the pedal not respond quick enough
@Evixus-gr1dm my springs are about mid tension.... but I make up for that with head tension as I need the rebound. That rebound allows me to "catch" the pedal and swing it back, creating momentum. Hitting 240/250 using doubles is quite easy for me like this. I'm not suggesting you do anything. Everyone plays differently. Another thing you can try to play with is beater height. Or get beater weights. They all change the feel of the pedal quite a bit. So think beater height, weights, the beater itself, spring tension, head tension, distance from head, and the pedal itself. Each one will have an effect on another. If I adjust one setting, changing another may respond differently. It's a balance and takes a while to get used to after changing, too. At the end of the day, though, trying to hit those speeds is going to require changes to your velocity.
What output gain have you set yours too? +2 or +4 dbs?
I'll check. i think i cranked it as output is low i've heard on a few gigs from sound guys
Did you also have all triggers set to 100?
Did you check mate?
This is an awesome video. Any suggestions/settings for kick drum?
Hey bro, i got a question i want to ask you :o d you still have the recordings from your old myspace page ex/ rocky7 etc... ???
Are you still active on here?? I got a question
Do you use the “noise” setting at all?
No i don't use that. retrig cancel for time between hits, sensitivity/gain and threshold are the main ones
Could you give me your kick specs? Everything sounds great but I’m a newbie and I’d love to get my kick in your ballpark
Keep the heads loose for a good bass sound. i don't use the tunebot on my kick usually
I haven’t heard this song since I saw it live in 2001. Wow. What a throwback. Great job dude. No idea how this ended up in my feed, but I’m so stoked right now.
Thanks for watching!. Love me some old nofx
178/238 on the 12 works really well. Perfect fourth apart.
Thanks man
After I watch this, Im like yay, Im doing it right. I think other people are explaining it incorrectly
Appreciate it. I tried to make it simple to follow.
Does the TM 2 comes with only one trigger that takes all the drums like the Yamaha EAD 10? Or it comes with several trigger for each drum?
Those sound great!
Thanks buddy
Thank you so much for the video tutorial 🙏🏻 I have been searching for this tutorial video for a long time about changing short board into long board. Thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Anytime!!
Great and accurate review!
Thanks for watching

Gran cover y que talento tienes !!! Impresionante !!!
I have some demon drives. Going to set them up like this and start practicing.
Good luck. I love my demons.
Pffft. Drums are not tuned to musical notes & they're not tuned to any rules except for how they sound to the drummer & the particular venue. Drummers use their own ears.
Incorrect. Anything that makes a frequency is technically a musical note. Many pro drummers and techs do this. No ones forcing you to do this, but when you actually tune your drum correctly (without a tunebot) it registers as a note. This makes it easier and more accurate than your ear 100% of the time. Your venues and sound guys will thank you.
Using a drill instead of a drum key because it makes it go a lot quicker. I couldn't watch the rest. Cheers!
It's a drill bit made by Evans lol. Works great, just have to be careful
jeez and i thought my canadian accent was thick LOL in all seriousness, super sick video and thanks for the tips!
Hahaha best comment in a while. Thanks. Might as well move to Sunnyvale trailer park
I can't remember if you specified the tunings for your snare drums. Could you tell the pitches for the top and bottom heads? Thank you
Yes please
Hey am I the idiot here or is there no way to save these external trigger settings? Even after doing the STORE function on the selected kit after adjusting GAIN and VCRV, it still wipes clean and resets default EXT TRIG settings on my DM5 when I turn it off and back on.
I’m having the same issue. Anyone have a solution?😂
What note do you use in the Snare ? G or C ? D ? Regards from Portugal
How to connect?
Impressive, with the added resistance from the slave pedal
This is why i love youtube lol thanks for the comparison
I have Drum Dial...and Tunebot..both are Great tools..You cannot hear the Diffrence between them..DrumDial is faster..Thats it😊😊😊
I get more consistent and accurate results on the tunebot. If I swap a head mid recording 350 hz is 350 hz no matter what. You are correct though. They both work and if you add some tuning by ear along with them you can't miss
Will it work on e-kit Roland TD-1dmk?
What's the best speaker to use while practicing to run just kick drum triggers
Anything with enough power to hear it. For a few hundred a powered pa speaker you can plug right into from the module
Loving that Los Cabos hoodie 👍 I'm currently using the Black Widows easily my favorite brand of sticks also these practice pads look amazing will definitely be grabbing one ASAP 👍 thanks dude
It's amazing how nice it feels to play it. Both sides are perfect. Agree that LC make the best sticks around as well. They last FOREVER!!
Hey thanks for the vid, where do get that fear factory sample?
How would this compare to a 6.5x14 maple snare drum? I’m going to try it tomorrow.
I find I keep them all the same, and then adjust for taste. Maple is going to have a different overall tone, and charactor, but it all works the same. Steel, brass, maple. I tune my steel and wood pearl reference snares the same way.
Great clip, thx alot
Glad you enjoyed it
I just bought the tm-2. You make me want to never use anything again.
the sensitivity of the roland tm2 does not handle the sensitivity of the trigger as such... it only manages the volume and the intensity of the blow.Have yamaha dt50k roland tm2 and I can't get my trigger to detect double hits well.. I tried it with a lot of settings but I still can't find anything that works for me, any solution?
