Booooooooring

had the choice between a used 27kv vs a new 27kv2 and went for the kv2. If i had to buy the vh-14 hihat seperately, then the used one would exceed the price of the new one, lol

somoothness,fluidity,fluency, and ・・・・・・・・

Sorry could you please turn the background music down next, it's a small thing. Thanks otherwise great tutorial and great news, I love that Roland bought another drum brand 😂😅🎉🎉

can i make the toms into two floor toms

All I want is to play my drums; enjoy doing it and don't be a nuisance for my neighbours. The Zildjian Alchem-E seems like THE instrument to do that with. However: I don't want to be bothered with 'USB-C straight into a mac using Logic Pro'! My laptop (Windows, Apple or Linux) had nothing to do with this! Just make a nice sound for me on an instrument that makes me feel like I'm playing the drums. I'm never going to 'doctor' anything! Just give me the feeling! Will the Zildjian Alchem-E (Bronze, Silver, Gold, 'Any-Metal') do that? This video makes it appear so.

ATV entry level module sounds more authentically acoustic including the cymbals, overall a better sounding module for $300!!! Hope atv will be around!

Thomas never ceases to amaze me! I’ve seen his stuff since 2016 and he’s ALWAYS pulling out something that seems completely astounding to we humans, yet is old hat to him.

Junk

The cymbals samples are great and seem to have variety throughout the dynamic range. The numerous drum tones are very organic and nice sounding, but lacking in velocity variation. Zildjian needs to get back in the studio and record more samples or create some variations with additional processing.

Could you guys please give me the name of a good double bass pedal to buy for this kit?

❤❤

Hey guys, I like to know if you guys have figured out how to take the samples and put them in kits

These sound amazing!!!!!

I feel like this kit sounds really akin to a live mic'd up acoustic kit which is a good thing, and paired with those cymbals being able to blend in sonically in a live setting, seems it would solve the "thwack" issue in smaller venues compared to traditional e-cymbals.

Will you please tell me about those lights please? I loved how well they illuminated the sparkle and added a pop of color to that kit!

Nice playing. And nice informative video. The drums are nice looking but the sounds is not really on par with the price, imho. I mean… the cymbals are quite nice sounding but the rest of the kit has too much machine gunning going on to ever consider buying it; for me, at least. I think that, with all the progress made so far about e-drums, it’s not acceptable machine gunning anymore, at least on that price range. And I also think that it’s not acceptable that someone have to buy this e-drum kit just to build the “perfect kit” using the cymbals of this one kit and the rest using another module (like mimic pro, i.e.) When someone spends so much money, should have bought something that has the whole package that sounds good, no compromise, no extra thing to add or buy. But still here we are. Meh.

IMPORTANT! If you got the DP2000 and you want to add samples or sounds you have to get a FAT32 or FAT16 USB and use WAV files. If you want to upload a song or melody, in the USB you have to create an album called SONG (all capital letters) and you just save the WAV file in there. Then, connect the USB to the DP2000 and click the SONG Button and the files that you added to the USB should be shown in the DP2000 screen. To play it just choose the file and click the PLAY Button next to the DP2000 screen. If you want to upload a sound and trigger it in one of the pads, you create a folder called WAVIMPORT (All capital letters), place the WAV file in there, connect the USB to the DP2000 and go into the settings and look for an option called WAV Import or something like that (My DP2000 is in Chinese so I don't know the exact name of that option) and you should see the WAV files. Choose one and import it and then go to the option where you can change the sounds of the pads, and the WAV file you imported should appear there. Assign it and that's it. I hope this helps since I had to spend a while to find how to do it.

The cymbals seem really nice, i wonder if they will make them available for other kits with a 1/4 " jack ? Probably very pricey if'n they do. Great video.i was down that way last year on vacation, but regretfully, didnt get a chance to check out your shop. Maybe next time

Probably about 90% of those who are watching this want to see a sound comparison for volume on the cymbals compared to rubber pads, and it would be nice for toms with and without the bottoms.

Love the finish on those shells.

Soooooo many missed opportunities. It's as if the R&D team were newcomers to the already well established industry and thought "hey let's start from the very beginning and use cat-5 cables..." 😅. Like, limiting the number of cymbal inputs to 6, lack of interoperability etc etc See you in 2030 when you've caught up to 2024 standards.

Other than getting direct outputs for FOH, what are the pro's of sending the wireless into the 50X module as opposed to sending to the PC soundworks directly? Isn't the Soundworks drums samples superior to those found on the 50X? Really just need the Roland thin e-cymbals & hi-hat mated to the DWe kit and make them wireless as well. Getting an upgraded wireless hub that includes direct outs would seem the way to go.

nice

What about the quality of the sounds used? Can it be recommended for home recording?

Is all this talking an actual drum sound? All I heard was a lot of yapping. I’m just asking for a friend? 🤓

I would absolutely buy this for the cymbals alone.

I was there I had no idea you guys were filming. I thought it was just pictures. This turned out awesome!❤🥁

No DWe?

Hi! Does the ride cymbal on this kit have bell/bow zones? Thanks!

Hi, is it possible to upload loops or short parts of songs but not from drums? Let's say my band wants to play Radiohead's Karma Police but we don't have a piano/keyboard player, can I upload that piano intro so when I hit one pad, that piano part will play? Thanks in advance for any information on this.

Super gemacht Thomas! Schön, dass du dir viel Zeit genommen hast, alleine die Beschreibung und Übungen zur bass drum Technik sind ein eigenes Video wert! Well done Thomas - beste Grüße aus der Heimat 🤘

Can i swap the 3rd toms into a cymbal (with extra cymbal pads of course)? Like China or Splash etc? Or the module support with extra cymbals so i dont have to do the toms swap?

no sabia que mi bateria podia hacer eso....

Now this is really cool

Just got a 706 kit with a DW double pedal/hardware package. Absolutely love them! TL is my drumming hero and my primary source of motivation as I continue to recover from a car accident that left me disabled. So much great information in this session! Thanks Thomas and Edrumcenter for this musical treat!

ich spieleselbst das VAD 506/7 und die sounds sind echt kacke! ich nutze ezdrummer um bessere sounds raus zu holen. und das für 5000Euro. und Roland könnte die sounds so viel besser machen, warum tun sie es nicht?! Thomas, du bist echt ne Mschiene! geil was du raus holst!

I don’t think l’ve ever seen a drummer quite like Thomas Lang he has definitely put in a lot of work he is also is a great teacher full of knowledge.

Man you make those drums sing!!

Dude is an animal.

Great review. Thank you!

It is possible to eq with this module?

Very informative stuff. Would certainly be cool if they add a functional roland style cymbal to the DWe wireless configuration one way or another.

Tried the gold kit again at Dave's Drum Shop in Ottawa (see my previous comment) after the "release" version of the software was installed. Big improvement, but, sadly, the software is still "alpha" and the kit was released way too soon. There are still basic triggering errors. Far fewer, but still enough to wreck a performance. E.g. do a loud single stroke roll on the floor tom and you'll get random rim hits every second or so. To be fair, I didn't look around for crosstalk adjustments (but I shouldn't have to!). Firmly hitting with the stick tip in the usual ride zone of the ride cymbal occasionally puts in spurious crashes, though not nearly as many as before. Worse is the bell, which does not register the bell sound in certain zones that are obviously part of the bell unless you hit it hard. The module is still very slow, taking several seconds to switch to the next kit, and losing "next" button pushes if you do more than 2 in a row. At least they fixed the problem with the scroll wheel for kit selection -- by removing it! The worst problem is the poor transition between samples on the drums. For each drum, there's a stick velocity that's at a cusp: play the tiniest bit harder and the drum gets much louder with a vastly different sound. I would only possibly recommend this kit if you're a metal drummer, you're content with dialing in just one kit, and you have two playing volumes: very loud and even louder. One tip: out of the box, the floor tom and snare had severe hot spots in the center, but tightening the heads a quarter-turn completely fixed that. It's hard to understand what might have happened internally at Zildjian. Obviously they'd know about the competition, in particular the standards Roland has for its equipment that's positioned for professionals. Maybe there's some competition we don't know about yet? Maybe they were spooked by Roland's purchase of DW? Though they don't really have anything great yet. I find the cymbals in the new crazy-expensive wireless DWe kit to be annoying since they're so loud they cut through headphones unless you have them turned up to 11. Also, the kit has perceptible lag which probably isn't a musical issue but is annoying nevertheless (to me at least, maybe since I'm used to Roland's v-drums).

Still doesn’t have that acoustic drum sound that I’m looking for

A firmware updated needed already to fix marginal sounds and triggering issues ? Too bad it can't fix the price too. Wow. Reply

Need one

This was the most negative review I've listened to - perhaps because it was early or because it was reviewed before having much experience with it. Most of the reviews I've listened to were extremely enthusiastic, and the module comes with ways to easily fix or adjust most of the problems that were pointed out.

The problem is I have 5k into my Roland VAD 507. A cymbal set would be something I would buy if it was priced reasonable.

Does anyone have any information on these being available in Australia. Thanks
