Drum test with ALESIS DM6 and ADDICTIVE DRUMS 1.5

[@upr1ght970]

Thank you for the fine playing and for showcasing the capabilities of this kit for triggering an outside source through the MIDI connection. I greatly enjoy the software kit in the computer more than the DM6 module sounds, but it looks like the pads did a pretty good job of tracking the hits....especially liked the ride....also stole a little from the ergonomics of your setup (just got mine, and your playing is a fine model to aspire toward). Monstrous stuff around 3:48 - 4:05...yow!

[@PurpleSixBeats]

Thanks for uploading. :)

[@SunBleachedYouth]

Sounds awesome dude! Makes me want to grab a kit. Sounds 1000x better than the Alesis built-in kits.

[@cardinaldriver]

Which AD kit are you using here? Snappy.

[@glickyglue]

HOLY SHIT, that is some inspired playing. You are about the ONLY decent drummer on KZbin doing a demo of an Alesis kit. THANK YOU. I was thinking of getting a DM8, as it seems like a better all around kit, but then, the way you rock this one with the addition of the Addictive Drums software, this kit seems to be AWESOME, and it seems really flexible and responsive. Tell me, should I just get the lower priced DM6 and jack it up using the Addictive Drums?

[@ruthlessadmin]

Amazing what you can do w/ $150 software and $400 drum kit...almost sounds real!

[@cardinaldriver]

Keep in mind there are no dual zone anything and the hi hat is open/ close only from a trigger pedal.

[@אורידביר-ק8ח]

טוב בטרוף!!!

[@dynamo008]

Nice play, please tell me how you connected addictive drums for Alesis DM6

[@Dniepropietrovsk]

Alesis sounds pretty good...

[@khannankit]

awesome !!

[@opalaobranco]

Very good! Hey, can I take the bass pedal off the kit and use my double pedal ? I need to use the double bass pedal and hi-hat pedal in the same song. Thanks!

[@albernererhelge]

good job...but sometimes it seems to be kind of instable isnt it?

[@xianbozhou1111]

how did u learn those beats man, they sound so damn good.

[@elda2121]

epa tengo unas preguntas: 1.- has tenido problemas con la sensibilidad de los pads si de tecta bien la velocidad y si registra bien los golpes. 2.- como haces para modificar el sonido del set mediante del USB? como funciona ese sistema.

[@TracyGunz]

Im getting a set of these ~ for recording in my home ~ hell bro u killed it great solo work are these easy to get triplets on etc ? hows the bass pedal some say it sucks and sum say it ok ~ hell from what i just seen i have to agree its ok lol , is the bass pedal strong or weak do u gotta play it soft or can u realy get on it ? thanks for n e info u can give me bud ~ AWESOME JOB ~

[@lanatrzczka]

Were those John Bonham triplet rolls I heard in there?

[@pizz81]

Ciao , devo prendermi anche io una edrum per ovvi motivi XD... quindi principalmente per allenarmi... e nel caso anche per un po' di home recording ? questa ne vale la pena ?

[@LadyBatterista]

Grande Matteeeeeeeeeeo ;)

[@Roberto666guitar]

phodaaa

[@ThePhantom276]

Do you have to have a DRUM software to play it on or can you like just use a music software like say Audacity?

[@TheSlayerswe]

How did you make it work in your DAW? After i connected it and openend AD and set recording device on all midi outpus, nothing happend.

[@brandonallen4388]

You have to change the pattern output on the AM6 to midi. ON YOUR DM6: Press PATTERN to select Pattern Select Mode Press VALUE +/- to select "--n", That will output midi to USB rather than the drum sounds themselves which is what happens by default.

[@TheSlayerswe]

Brandon Allen Holy crap my comment is old. Well, I set this up like a year ago.

[@BrandoDrum]

TheSlayerswe Yeah I figured you had it figured out but since I came looking for answers myself I thought it would good to reply so someone else might benefit later on. Cheers.

[@Jadell]

Brandon Allen You certainly just did! Thanks!

[@forthekidsbythekids1]

+Brandon Allen Im about to purchase this kit. It would work just connecting de USB direct to my (in this case) iMac? open Cubase 7 or logic X and will recognize it like an midi VST? I tried with an Roland by the usb cable and it didnt work. it only worked with the MIDI cable to USB on the Mac. im scare because this one only has the USB out. Please can you help me?

[@zoundtank]

Hi, awesome drumming by the way... I have a question. How did you get so low latency, between dm6 and the addictive? I have been trying to lower it with my pt or on standalone mode with ezdrummer2 but I'm getting so much latency Im just about to deciding on selling the dm6 I just got

[@imarkahann]

Any Latency issue ? The USB trigger seems to be a liitle bit slow ... No problem with my Midi keyboard in direct MIdi OUT but my DM6 ...

[@TheFunkyFahd]

what mode you used to have a sound like this ?

[@Londonsmostwantedtv]

how did u hook it up to your computer? and what DAW do you use?

[@belldm2]

Nice work! I have the same equipaments (ADDICTIVE DRUMS, ALESIS DM6, M AUDIO FAST TRACK) But my fast track is the C400 I dont know witch cable I need, can you help me? Tks

[@Jadell]

+Gustavo Belloto Just go straight USB out of your DM6 into your computer - don't plug it into your audio card.

[@jordanbuchacher6691]

Do these have an internal speaker?

[@Aldohack]

how did you solve the latency problem of the midi "dm6" to the pc? Which conections dis you do with the "m-audio fast track - DM6 - PC"?

[@jmdc33]

I haven't played drums in a few years. I used to have a Roland TD-6 kit. How do Alesis kits compare? Someone I know is selling a DM6.Would it be worth a shot? Would appreciate any feedback

[@druzeroseven]

dude how did you map the open close hihat on ad2?i got dm6 but im having a problem mapping the open close hi hat

[@Jadell]

+Mark Andrew Abestado Hi Mark - I actually set AD2 to the Alesis DM7 setting in 'Map Window' (I'm using DM6 too), it worked.

[@Philip264235]

hey i have the same kit and sofrtware, how do i hook it up to my kit Please Reply !

[@thrashkid665plus1]

hey man, cool video. i have the same kit and i use the same software, but there is a slight delay in the output from the software. did you face the same problem? how'd you fix it?

[@browellr]

havent tried myself, but with usb recording and midi stuff, you could always try; - upgrade the driver - change your latency buffer value to zero or close to it - make sure your using an ASIO driver if you want low latency - get a better computer

[@gabrielseri]

how doy you opnen and close hi hat??? i've hearded that you cant do it with addictive drums

[@scottduckworth1332]

I read somewhere this kit doesn't send velocity data over MIDI, is this true?

[@Jadell]

+Scott Duckworth It does send velocity data - it's really good. Especially when hooked up via usb to a computer running Addictive Drums.

[@TheFunkyFahd]

you can chand sound of toms lonly or not ?

[@81metalhammer]

hey could you tell me how you connected the kit to your audio card? The dm6 has a usb midi output which im trying to connect to an m audio device and connect that to the pc.

[@aresnlJs56]

I usually just use Aux cables to my computer and record with Audacity.

[@Rossmc0]

THIS GUY!!!

[@timotej787]

is that sound coming from the kit itself or the program?

[@DrummerGrrrl]

The program. Alesis modules at this price point sound like total $hit.

[@c0nc0deh0p3]

how would i go about hooking this up to fruity loops?

[@claudius2060]

i have a question my snare drum sound very low normal ?

[@giannipulpito3066]

ciao come hai ottenuto questo ottimo suono?

[@loy12mc]

ha utilizzato una banca di suoni di un vst, EZDRUMMER. Insomma usa suoni non del modulo, attaccandola al pc via usb.

[@FathomDrums]

Good overall though

[@Luizindrumdesign]

COMO FEZ PARA MAPEAR (DRUM MAP) A DM6 NO ADDICTIVE?

[@joaochanoca3317]

I like

[@A1eCan]

cool as fuk bro!

[@DannySoldier96]

What style at 4:10?

[@user-d5h4d]

I've got a doubt, how did you eliminate the latency problems? I've got and DM8 USB kit and Cubase and when I am playing the signal gets retarded, could you tell me how to solve this problem?

[@CAMOAH1]

Hi, just download a software called ASIO4ALL n install n in d top left corner of d addictive open d asio as d sound card n adjust d latency from there ....

[@GoOKuSj33]

You´re saying bad things about an software not the kit itself. And VSTs are waaay better than modules sounds no doubt.

[@Londonsmostwantedtv]

looks like u ran it through an interface

[@TFLSTUDIO88]

Kit sounds great!!.... Drumming is lacking. lol

[@DrummerGrrrl]

Yeah. But even the crappiest drum set can be slightly redeemed by using quality VST software. Maybe it's the particular kit sound from the VST that sounds so bad here. I am not a big fan of that rattling loose snare drum sound. Also, the cymbal sounds are just so bland.

[@gabrielcassol]

dd1 black

[@yittmashups]

You're a great player, but that kit just sounds bad audio quality. D: I have one of the lowest end roland e-kits and it sounds far better.

[@FathomDrums]

Dude you would be an amazing drummer if you would stop being so worried about drum rolls and concentrate on keeping a straight beat.

[@TronciM]

It has too much reverb

[@dersnyder]

crap drumkit
