I've dreamed of doing something like this for years! I finally have 2 electric kits, but not enough space! Ahhh!

Turn the set to face the wall if it isn’t already. That could save some space.

[@collinscollins5595]

Awesome!

[@emergentform1188]

Remember buddy, it's not about how great you can play or the level of difficulty, it's about what you have to "say" on the instrument.

[@ubmastering]

Kit sounds super tight. Looks like you had a really fun time with this project. Your drum chops are 10/10.

[@0ktober]

Aah, we did this thing back in high school music classroom. Frankenstein'd the hell out of those racks and even got the modules on top of each other, looked super pro.

[@TriggerThat]

66Samus: I'm gonna play some drums! Donner kick pad: I quit!

[@oAPXo]

Hearing you play Emperor even for a few seconds made me smile so much, love the video!!!

[@curvatecture]

I got enlisted to do this to two sets of the top end Yamaha electric kits at the store I worked at! It was bananas, like 8 Toms, two kicks, two snares, two highhats (one on a cable setup), and like 6 cymbals. I patched both brains together and had all the toms tuned two semitones apart. It was wild to say the least. Great video as always!

[@hadadwasiim8248]

I love it when you played Emperor- Ye Entrancemperium at 3:21. Thank for the video. Lots of love from Mauritius

[@phil4_8]

Samus, you are just gifted, dude. For real! It’s so inspiring watching you play; and the ease you dominate the kit is just “oh yurrrr!” Amazing work, man. 🤟

[@Syncopatientzero]

I'm ambidextrous. I've been using a combination of multiple e-kits for years now. I have one module for the drums and another for cymbals, for a total of 19 triggers. My setup is "mirrored" so that I can play natively left, right, or open handed as both sides are nearly redundant, the main difference being the pitch of the toms and cymbals. My 5 toms alternate left to right in descending pitch. Marching tenor techniques are readily executable in this arrangement, sweeps and crossovers all day with ease. I have a total of 3 hat triggers, 2 mirrored of the same pitch, and an additional lower pitch on the left, and all 3 are wired to the same variable pedal. I have acoustic sets, but for the sheer number of playable surfaces I have on the e-kit, it takes up SO much less space.

[@reubenk7331]

Awesome stuff! I never even considered using a module, other than the one that came with the kit, to input multiple sets of cymbals and drums! Freaking sweet.

[@necropollis-]

This turned out to be even better than I anticipated! I’m so happy you chose to do this!

[@ryantishler960]

Omg you are probably one of the best drummers. I got my old Royce drum kit out and started playing again. Feels so good Playing again thanks.

[@michaelmessina5341]

That kit sounds killer and Samus nails it again. That was some sick ass drumming.

[@edster1561]

Dammit samus! You just could not help adding that speedy double bass at 2:01. Love it man haha :D

[@eduardoGentile720]

my goodness that was Awesome!! I wish I had the space for a setup like that and yes I also wished I could play drums like that!!!

[@stevenross196]

Back when I was in high school I was in music class only thing I did hike in and my music instructor would let me put all the drums sets together and make one huge one and let me bring my double pedals that teacher was dope!!

[@javatherus170]

Samus, I want one! That's the one thing I've always hated about electronic drum sets is that they are sooooooooooooooo small. I need a Keith Moon size set! I didn't even know you could do that. Awesome video!

[@TheDrumWreck]

Dude you rock, because of budgetary restrictions, (I'm calling you out Roland and DWe) 🤪 this is exactly what I have done!! I have combined kits and modules to create a bit of a Frankenstein. But hell I have fun plugging in a whole lot of drums!! No shade on Roland and DWe though, they are bad ass kits!!

[@TheHeadown]

Is it just me that almost always rewind Samus videos every time he does something funny (pretty often) He´s humor is pretty much the same as mine. Never fails to entertain. Edit: Damn, that drumming to Painkiller was insanely juicy. Those double kicks made me nod my head like a complete maniac. I think I came a little too. Oooh yuuurr 🔥🤘

[@66Samus]

haha thank you so much!

[@millerbeer8743]

That's smooth sounding, especially after dropping all the components together, including sounds. Couldn't imagine how much better when you mess with delay, sustain, etc. I have 2 Yamaha kits like this, using both brains. It's good for what suits my available free time. Great video. Sex!

[@maersel]

Sex indeed

[@animosiity]

Don’t forget he’s using a pretty nice Roland module so that helps a lot

[@ericdravenX00X]

I think making the 2 sets buddies was a Great idea man.. For some reason the last little bit u played reminded me of As Blood Runs Black.. Good stuff Sam..💀🤘

[@douglassloan6831]

Wow! Unreal playing dude. Just freaking fantastic. Love it. BTW was wondering about the sound proofing foam you mentioned. I think that might actually be room treatment foam and might not actually soundproof the window like you want it to. I actually used those same tiles in my mastering studio to get the room sounding right and they work amazingly well for that. To really soundproof a window, I had to put in double glass. That's what really does the trick. But, I could be totally wrong and I'll just shut my pie hole. Thanks for the amazing playing!

[@jeffreyvandoorn]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT DUDE from 5:19 till about the end my jaw dropped immensely, that was godlike drumming, utter deep respect !!!

[@janikiekko]

I have one of the first milennium sets and then got a Crimson 2. Just connected them with a 3,5mm. I can use different drum sounds, like timbales on the old set and reggae on the crimson. 7 toms 2 rides 4 crash, very much fun

[@66Samus]

hahaha, thank you dude!!!!

[@crazybaby7725]

Man, I watch this for the thousandth time and never get bored!!!

[@yannisgouras4482]

I think if you did a combination of your different acoustic drums for the standard drum sounds and then combined it with the Donner kits using different effects different sounds but had them all as one kit so you could go seamlessly from one to the other I really think you could come up with something amazing like in your last video where you did a demo of the Chinese drums I really think you could do something with that and it would be epic

New fan. here, you inspired me to get back into drumming, thank you. I guess you could say I have not had many opportunities to really concentrate on drumming technique in my life, but I have always concentrated on drumming (it worked when I thought it), and I have allot of time on my hands at this point in life. I picked up a VAD 306 With a TD 27 upgrade and extra higher grade additions, integrated with the offset pedal. I feel very fortunate to be able to have this high quality at my age and experience level. Aloha

[@maxime669]

Samus it will look strange but seeing you on electronic kit has it advantage. Classic drum kit can be intimidating to watch and for people that want to learn by looking at you, your body, or you do transition in beats classic drum kit is harder. As oppose electronic kit is not blocking the view as much. For example when you do camera shot as if we look at you in front of your electronic drum kit. The shot we the camera is wide enough to see your arm, your leg and even when each feet is playing. This allow for a cleaner view of how you drum. For me that observe a lot on video this is a welcome discovery.
