      @@rayshearer Neither ( get the Roland TD-07 instead).... but if your budget is limited...get Roland stuff, it upgradable. The rack supplied with the TD-02 is the same rack supplied with the TD-07 and 17. So you can upgrade later to the PD or PDX pads which are far better than entry pads.
      The TD-02 is not upgradable with more cymbal/drum pads the TD-07 is, as it allows for an additional crash cymbal. The TD-17 adds cymbal expansion plus and additional aux expansion for another type pad (drum cymbal etc) however the aux on the TD-17 is assigned to tom 4 as a default, but its easy enough to reassign it. However, you will need to reassign it for every kit you use. There is not a global reassign, that I am aware of.

    I loved playing for my Church youth group when i was a teen and i would always play to country and Christian rock songs in my house.
    Someone damaged my floor tom in 2015 and i never had the chance to get it fixed, i live with my mom in a smaller house so playing my old Yamaha would not bode to well for me, this looks like a perfect fit for me.
    Im 31 on the 23rd of this month and it is time I start playing again.
    Thank you Samus for inspiring me all these years to want to play again.

    I have the old old model with expansion pack, 2 things 1. I F-ing love it, and play it daily, bass drum has had to be repaired 5 times but worth it 2. If you play metal you NEED the expansion pack, it is ungodly the stuff you can do. I have a cowbell, slam snare on the snare rim, a punchy regular snare, a china on the expansion cymbal, a sick bell on the ride, a punchy zildjian like crash, a scary hi hat and an 808 like tom on the extra tom. I have only used the provided drum samples. Why you ask? Cuz i customized a couple kits a metal, indie, rap, dance ect. When I get motivated/bored of the sample sounds I will hopefully try the bdf player (cash poor currently)

      @DashingGinger Před 4 měsíci +1

      @ThiagoNeres1 the sound is decent for the price. It took me a bit to figure out setting adjustments to make the sounds I wanted, though, but I'll admit I'm not great with computers. It's definitely a closer feel to an acoustic set thanks to the mesh heads. But it does still feel different. The highhat peddle isn't perfect on response time, so I got low volume cymbals for my acoustic hihat and have it next to the set. Over all at its price it is still worth it in my opinion, but also I'd say find time and a place to practice on an acoustic set as well. Any specific questions just let me know.

    • @Zandooooooo
      @Zandooooooo Před 8 měsíci

      When just using the one bass pad it comes with to do double bass it sometimes would miss hits because your beaters will hit more to the sides of the pad and not directly in the middle. If just using a single pedal on it you won’t have any problems. I initially modded mine by opening it up and adding a second piezo trigger inside it but I really wanted a mesh bass drum so decided to upgrade

    • @Zandooooooo
      @Zandooooooo Před 8 měsíci

      If the drum module that comes with it is similar to the original nitro module then there should be 2 additional inputs to add an additional pad or 2 so you could always purchase a 2nd bass pad.

    Awesome video man! I started drumming with an Alesis DM lite kit, then I got a Roland TD17 KVX which I still use for practicing and also for double bass endurance practicing. And my main kit is actually a Mapex Armory with double bass. So all I can really say, Alesis was a great way for me to start! Keep rocking man!!! you're an inspiration for many drummer!🤘🤘🤘

    A couple months ago I bought my very first drum set. A Tama imperialstar. I underestimated how loud it is so I bought a Roland td-17kvx2 to practice late at night. Then I had to buy another hi hat stand because I didn't want to switch it up every time jumping between kits. Then I changed out the perfectly good heads for Remo emperor coated. Now I'm adding more cymbals and stands to the acoustic kit. I barely know how to play drums and I'm spending way too much money lol. I wish somebody would have told me this is a very expensive habit.

    I just bought the Nitro Max with the expansion pack(extra tom & cymbal) and I absolutely love it! I was afraid some of the toms or cymbals weren’t going to register all my hits but I haven’t had any problems. I was also worried the preset kit sounds were gonna sound cheap but they sound pretty good, i still prefer using Ableton since it has more variety and better accessibility to sounds. I’d also recommend using a snare stand for the snare since it does wobble when playing heavy. Overall I love it and definitely recommend it💯

      Idk about mainland Europe but I just got one for like $480 (£380) in England
      Unfortunately more expensive than in the US but there are seriously no better options. The Behringer XD80USB was £20 less brand new but the module on the Alesis is so much better, it makes the Behringer look like a toy. And with people selling 5+ year old TD1DMK for £300 (~$400) second-hand, and TD07 for closer to £500 (~$600), if you can even find one for sale that isn't a scam... A brand new Nitro Max suddenly seems like a good deal.

    I'm considering getting an electronic drum set to start learning on my own, but I have a few questions for people who have the experience with real and electronic sets.
    1) In terms of things like physical feeling/sensation, techniques, and limitations, what do I need to be aware of if my goal is to eventually (much later) move onto a real drum set?
    2) How loud are they as in the sounds from physically hitting them? I'm just trying to not bother the rest of my family.
    Other notes: I'm not sure how to gauge skill level or song difficulty exactly, but I'd say I would like to get to an intermediate level. Also, I most likely wouldn't ever care to be able to play extremely fast songs.
