[@gosugosu1280]

Maybe you should start playing. Some relatively good kits are cheap

[@mountainofsound]

I’ve had an alesis nitro for 3-4 years using various drum vst’s (GGD, SSD, SD2, etc) and I’m definitely getting to the point where I’m wanting something that looks and feels closer to the real thing. Living in an apartment complex has made being a drummer a little complicated but I’m so glad E-kits are finally getting their time to shine

[@scum-scum]

If you had to do it over, would you still get a Nitro? Given what the market is like now?

[@Codycreek]

I also had a nitro getting and would recommend it. I beat the shit out of mine for a year before I upgraded to the DM10 MKII Pro. The kit he is playing is insane though and something I would love to eventually get.

[@mountainofsound]

@@scum-scum Absolutely, I even got my kit used from Guitar center for $180 lightly used and it sounds like a $3000 kit thanks to ggd PIV, Modern & Massive, Invasion. Downside is there’s not much variation/articulation with the cymbal pads but the tom/snare/kick pads are good enough to get by. I’m looking at a Strike Pro (Red one for $2500 as my next upgrade potentially, there’s the dmkII for $1300 but if I’m already spending over a $1000 I might as well go all in. Rolands ekits are exceptionally nice but alas the prices are just unreasonable (imo) for all mesh heads.

that is without a doubt the best sounding E-kit i have ever heard

My main problem that I find with e-kits is the cymbals. Every single one I’ve played on the cymbals sound decent or fake. May just be the specific sets I’ve played on but these sound really good. But I play acoustic now and don’t see myself going back but this is a really cool kit

These manufacturers have gotten so out of control with their prices that it's more interesting to see who can possibly afford them.

Pearl Mimic... as the box says (when you open it) "You have chosen wisely" I have had one for 5 years and I still bloody love it! Nice! Not sure if you know, but all those awesome VST sounds you have been using can be ripped and imported into the module, all but hihats unfortunately, but still... with a large SSD inside, you should little risk of running out of space!

I actually learned something today. My Roland kit really has this hotspot issue, where the dynamics on the snare and bassdrum always felt kinda weird, compared to my acoustic kit. Especially double bass felt a bit off…

Hell, yeah! These drum-tec trigger systems are the finest. Damn, I am living a one our drive from that store, but still I did not made it to go shopping. The Pearl module is a monster, as-well. For me, the best module sounds. I am using VSTs and my rather low priced pads. But set up correctly with the right trigger2MIDI interfaces I can keep up with the dynamics shown here. Thanks for the review!

My Funny Insanely talented friend! You should consider your videos, as a source of healing from depression!. I am going through some serious depression, and haven't laughed for weeks. But every time I watch one of your videos- Yes I get jelous? But, I also realize, THAT THERE STILL IS A LITTLE JOY LEFT IN MY TANK. Your a blessing in more ways than you know. God bless you, Sir. Thank you for being one, if not the funniest Drummer out there. And yes, u got da skills

[@restojon1]

I'm very sorry that you're going through rough times, we're all in this game of life together my friend. Every day we roll the dice and we don't know what we're going to get, but may I offer you something that I hope may help you at least today, maybe tomorrow, and for a little while to come? Many years ago when I was a teenager I was so jealous. Jealous in love. Jealous of others success. Jealous of others station in life. Pretty much everything. I was angry. I made terrible decisions (moreover than the ordinary teenager) and I radiated bitterness, hate and general negativity. Now, don't for a minute think I'm implying that I think you are afflicted in the same way, but you mentioned in passing about being a little jealous. Now, this is what I want to pass onto you, that has kept me going through my darkest times, when everything around me has turned to absolute and utter shit, when I feel that I have very little or no worth. I am not jealous of someone's talent, I celebrate it with them, I'm happy for their success, for them being richer than me, for not being born with a chronic illness and so on. Be the one who cannot be dethroned. Do not allow yourself to become negative on this last point, there may be many ways that life and other people can attack us but, if someone tries to use their success or wealth as a weapon against you you say "I'm very happy for you, that you're so rich... question is, are you happy?" And you turn and walk away. Once we remove jealousy from our lives, it's one step on the path to being invincibly happy. I do hope that this comes across in the manner in which I intend it to, I do not mean to be rude in any way or be negative in any way... like I say, we're all in this game of life together, and the only time we should look down on anyone is when we're helping to pull them out of a dark hole. Take care my friend I haven't met yet.

[@gballmaier]

@restojon1 Thank you did taking the time to share your insight with me. So many people just don't care about people who, ARE BASICALLY REACHING OUT FOR HELP! However, I this case, as far as the Jelious comment, I was only trying to say in my own weird way, that he was very blessed. Of course I'm not sure if he gets to keep all those from sure he reviews, but it is quit a blessing. In any case, I am going through some battles with feeling WORTHLESS and Hopeless. My wife is so sick, and I do everything to take care of her, yet she treats me pretty bad. AND MOST OF ALL, SHE, BEING A SERIOUS NARCCISIST, HAD TURNED MY SON AWAY FROM ME. EVEN THOUGH I'VE NEVER MISSED ANY IMPORTANT GRADUATION OR PLAY, OR ANYTHING IN HIS LIFE. THAT IS WHAT'S KILLING ME MOST NOW. I HAVE WORKED SO HARD IN THIS LIFE, AND NOW, AT 61 YRS. OLD, I HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR ALL THE 15 HOUR DAYS I'VE PUT IN FOR SO MANY YEARS, TO BE ABLE TO MAKE SURE MY CHILDREN AND WIFE HAVE EVERYTHING THEY NEED. NOT WHAT THEY WANT, BUT NEED. NOW MY WIFE IS SICK, MY CHILDREN ARE WORTHLESS, AND SCREWED UP SO BAD FROM THIS DARN LIFE, MOST OF ALL THEY ARE NOT FOLLOWING JESUS, WHO IS REALLY THE ONLY PATH I WANTED THEM TO TAKE. GOD BLESS YOU FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO ENCOURAGE ME. YOUR OBVIOUSLY A SPECIAL, AND KIND PERSON.

And for companies to give you the opportunity to show their products, I do say that you do it very well and professionally but also with a drummers or a percussionist’s sense of humor. I have been studying drummers and percussionist for many years now and after I had studied some of the pioneers and got to about Ronnie Tutt and then eventually up to Peart I knew that those musicians had something extra and extraordinary about them and honestly there’s several but not too many like that, and I see that in you and your playing, the excitement and enthusiasm with the gear is just incredible.

Hey Mr. Samuis, thanks for the review. I enjoyed it very much. Only thing missing for me was an "outside view", like a micing from where you're playing full blast and how it sounds from outside the headphones, since it's an electronic drum kit. Thanks again and have a nice weekend. ;)

I think the way they made the triggers makes the sound great, and the good thing is that you can use any modules, so it could be a universal e-drum kit, which is mind blowing

The newest version of the mimic pro software actually supports positional sensing on the snare with a 3-cone trigger setup.
