[@GreenHell831]

Machine gunning quite a bit. Thanks for the snare demo

[@ssvillcYt]

That black beauty sounds phenomenal!

[@gregclark4237]

NICE!

[@ragnell5]

Hey James, can you load import custom samples in the module?

[@aaronsudasna]

They gotta put some deeper snares on there and of course they need a Tama Bell Brass

[@LaneMilesMusic]

Why do all the samples sound so thin? The cymbals especially, but the drums sound like they have almost zero ambience. Does it sound better before youtube compression?

[@tarpley-music]

It sounds slightly better on the lowend before YT compression, but this is essentially what you get with the current sound library.
We did take it and demoed with a few churches and let them play it through a Nexo Line Array system, and it sounded phenomenal.
There is a chance if you dig deeper into the settings that you can get a beefier more rounded sound out of the samples. When we filmed this we did a factory reset, and just let it be what it is fresh out of the box.

[@MarkuzP66]

Sounds thin and machineguning . The cymbals are the big advantage in comparism to other Kits.

[@Ripperx121]

@@MarkuzP66 You win the prize! The first person to say machine-gunning.

[@ssvillcYt]

Are you listening with decent headphones? They sound great to me.

[@gregbaldwin-gp1er]

This kit has gotten me very excited. I was seriously considering a DWe kit but the thought of these cymbals seems a fair trade for the cool convenience of wireless. Each of these companies are breaking new ground in electronic drums.
I have a concern. You seem to be having difficulty in easily triggering the side stick sample. That is problem that I'm going to have to watch for a while. Also, it would seem that the drums have no rim sounds at all (not talking about cross stick or shots) but just trigger the center head sample.

[@azizfilho]

Can you play single quarter notes on center of the head? 99% of the top 100 hits are played there that's what we need to listen to.thks
