Nice setup and performance. Are you using the SPD-SX-PRO or the edrumin10 for 'controlling' the VH11? I'm debating the best way for tracking midi performances - a 'compact' kit in the SPD-SX-PRO or a full conversion with the edrumin10... I've noted your other videos on the SPD-SX-PRO; but in general do you get 'enough' hihat control with the SPD-SX-PRO?

I have an almost identical version of the 7x12 from 2005. Same holographic white honeycomb but the badge and air vent are in different locations. Purchased it used for $250 Cad. Which is a steal for a drum of this quality. After 30+ years of playing, it's the only snare I own.

Thanks for a great video! I’m building a practice kit with some old drums, mesh heads and triggers. Now that you been using the SPD-SX Pro for a while would you recommend it as the module in that way or should I go for something lika TMS-6 Pro?
@jamesrichardsutton21 күн бұрын
Thank you! Between the SPD-SX Pro and the TM-6, you'd want to consider the input count and whether having the additional pads would be worth the extra cost. I own a TM-6 and it's a great MIDI interface for playing libraries on your computer, however it's a bit dated at this point. Based on the prices at Sweetwater currently, I would go with the SPD-SX Pro since it has many more applications than just a MIDI interface.

Dude. That snare sounds luscious. How do you do it?
@jamesrichardsuttonАй бұрын
Thank you! I have to say that mainly it's the fancy Pork Pie drum. The hybrid shell is half ash (snare side) and half aluminum. I have a dozen snare drums and since I got this thing last summer, I can't stop using it. It's so easy to dial it into a mix.

What drum heads are those on your toms?
@jamesrichardsutton2 ай бұрын
Hey, Mark. So the rack toms and the first floor have clear Emperors with clear Ambassadors on the bottom. Second floor has an Evans EMAD and also a clear Ambassador as a reso. I’m also using Remo tone control rings. Hope that helps.

@ The tone control rings on the toms were confusing, I thought they were part of the head and I’d never seen that before.

Hi James, this is truly awesome. I was thinking of doing something similar. Would you mind telling me some of the learning curves you had to go through for learning to play the kit in quite a small surface area? Do you get used to it quite quick? Thanks!

@jamesrichardsutton4 ай бұрын
@@StephanSeiler2 Thank you, Stephan. Honestly, it didn't take me long at all to get used to. Sure, it was a little awkward at first, but once I figured out the placement of each instrument that felt best for me (hats on pad 6, floor tom on pad 9, etc.), I was soon thinking less about the small playing area, and more about the drum parts I was playing.
