Thank you for your video. Think I will buy BFD3 where it is on sale. Regarding your stick technique, you might want to look at a few videos, or take a couple of lessons from an excellent drummer in your area. The lessons would likely be best since a person can give you feedback in real time. Learning to use the fulcrum point and loosening up your grip would go a long away in helping you to improve. I hope you do not take this comment as an insult, and I apologize if you do. Edit: I just noticed that this video is four years old so you may have already made improvements with your playing technique. Cheers!

When its tuned a bit higher, with EMAD on the kick drum it actually resonates a bit better, which provides a bit more bass (even if the pitch may be higher). But yes, it will not achieve the same level of low end bass as a larger set of drums. It can work great for some genres of music still.

It is tuned low. Each drum does have its own relative pitch. But anyway, I should've made the video showing the drums in different tunings. High, mid, and low tunings as well as the mathematical tension that would get the most resonance for each circumference. Perhaps in the future I can do that. Nowadays, I am enjoying a more resonant tuning with calftone heads

I am one of those who bought an 18 inch Evans EMAD bass head for the Tama Pancake and it did not fit either hoop. I then put it on my 18 inch Catalina Club bass batter hoop and it fit. Put the CC batter head on the tama and it fit. A Remo Calfskin head sounded like paper on the batter side so I put it on the reso head and the kick has nice deep tone now. Coated emperors on the toms tuned medium high really boom. Coated Ambassador for the snare batter was an upgrade too, but not as much difference as getting rid of those plastic tom heads.

No issues, but it needs to be a bass drum head, and not a tom head. 18" tom heads are slightly different. Maybe those people were using 18" tom batter heads. The metal collar is different in the tom heads. I've tried a few different 18" heads without issue, so I'm going by that. By the way if budget allows, do check out sidekick drums for their pancake kickdrum... I got their 22x6 and OMG, it sounds huge

Most I ever put on it was 350 (same but also adding the yellow 35lb plates).

Hey man great video! Because I came across it, I took the plunge and purchased the BFD3 pack for my TD-50, so again thanks a million. Question: I'm assuming there's still no dedicated key map for our kit, correct? Like you, I'm using the TD-30 preset, and while it's decent, the ride configuration leaves a lot to be desired in terms of bell/shoulder/tip separation. Really love having the option with the Roland USB ride to assign a nice crash to my shoulder zone, and am missing it with this configuration. Have you come across any workarounds for this or ae you just going in yourself to assign the midi notes you where want? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
@SimpleAndyRock Жыл бұрын
Hey, yeah it's an awesome software, but indeed there is no map for td50. I used td30, and then any missing stuff or stuff id like to adjust I'd tweak via either the learn button, and for hi hat there is a section where you can tweak the open close states. I had to change the curve at which it would trigger the close sound for most sample packs as I found I'd have to put a ridiculous amount of force for the closed state. So changed it to feel like a real hat. But yeah long story short there isn't a full preset. Bfd3 to me sounds better than sd3, but sadly it seems it's not as well supported since inmusic bought the company.
