I have been searching two years for a flagship electronic kit to replace my seven year old Roland TD-30KV V Pro kit. I played several top of the line electronic kits the past two years. Many of the kits drum sounds were OK, but all of the cymbals felt fake like my Roland kit. I played a Zildjian Alchem-E Gold EX kit during the Music City Drum Show the weekend of July 21st and 22nd. I had the opportunity to meet and talk with Mike Weber with Zildjian. Mike was gracious with his time, demonstrated the kit, and answered all of my questions. Out of all of the best electronic drum kits I played and listened to at the drum show, this drum kit had the best sound and feel. This drum kit is both an acoustic and an electronic drum kit. I purchased a Zildjian Alchem-E Gold EX kit. When I got home, I setup the kit and updated the firmware to the latest version. I setup the module and assigned Yamaha Recording Custom sounds to the toms and kick drum. A Ludwig Black Beauty for a Snare drum. I also created a Pearl Reference kit inside the module. Cymbals as Zildjian K Sweet and ride as a Zildjian Concept Sizzle Ride. I switch back and forth to Z Custom cymbals. The K Sweet and Z Custom cymbals sound so good. My friends and family say that the kit sounds amazing. The sound of the drums are fantastic. The cymbals sound, articulation, and feel are just like real cymbals, because they are real cymbals. I love this kit

@@BLASTARDOFEDRUMS-cg8mm They DO look like they have fixed the issue with the launch version. Why they didn't fix it before launch is crazy. It hurt their brand. So many bad reviews and people bowing out from buying. I'm still interested. Zildjian noted that they have another related product coming out maybe before the end of the year. I'm looking for a cymbal-only module and cymbal packs, at a reasonable price, for those of us that don't need an entire kit but want the benefits of their cymbals.

Hey, quick question for you. Did you update your brain to the latest 1.1.5? And if so could you tell me if this fixes triggering of the cymbals. I’m thinking about getting the gold ex kit but I’m a little leery. I’ve owned Roland kits in the past and come to appreciate the reliability but I like the idea of real cymbals. But only if the kit will work.

Hey there, in this video it looks and sounds like you've got more tom's running than the usual 3 tom setup that comes withe the MINDst Drums. Is that correct and if it is... How did you manage to do that? I couldn't find any way to get my 4 tom pads playing individual tom sounds. For example: I could duplicate tom 1 and connect the duplicated one to my second tom Pad but I can't tune them individually. I hope this makes some sense and you get what I mean. 😂 Any advice?

Did the 1.5 update make a big difference in the cymbal triggering? Finding it odd there are so few reviews on these. I tried them at guitar center but it’s in the original firmware and the cymbals can’t detect double strokes, flams, hitting the high hat while closing it, etc. like there is a processing delay. Also, how did you get additional cymbals? Doesnt look like they sell them individually

@ki-lowatt7789 I was lucky to get cymbals from Zildjian. 1.5 software update made a huge difference on triggering the cymbals. It's much easier to set them up properly and more updates are on the way. On top that second generation of cymbals should be out soon and as far as I know you will be able to swap them for free if you already purchase the kit. There is no more processing delay and loading kits is also quicker.

Hi Randy, You create amazing content! I would like to ask you for some advice. I have a recording session coming up for a Punk-Rock band and we are planning to release an album. Currently, I have a Yamaha DP Series (low budget) and an Alesis Strata Prime. How do you rate the sounds from this module, or would I achieve more with Superior Drummer 3? Second question, based on your experience, would you prefer to get the Alesis Strata Prime or the Roland TD-27? Best regards =)
@BLASTARDOFEDRUMS-cg8mm
@BLASTARDOFEDRUMS-cg8mm 5 ай бұрын
Hey There! Alesis strata is a great module. You don't need to trigger Any other VST unless you don't like the sounds of Strata. Alesis outdid themselves with this module.Its pretty much BFD in the box.Sounds are great and you can process them within the module any way you like it. You can also run multi out to DAW and process everything there. Very high quality samples. Superior Drummer 3 is great but you have to wiggle a bit to set up properly all the midi notes even with Strata preset. When it comes to buying td27 or strata,Alesis beats Roland each time. Much better module. Only advance in Roland's is their USB connections for snare hats and ride but then you will prefer to trigger outside VST to accomplish desired real drum sounds. I hope that helps.
