End Of Year E-Drum Sales Worth Buying

[@akimbo.1887]

I miss living right down the street from Sweetwater. Spent entire days in their drum room.

[@65Drums]

It's a great place, and they made the store even better than it first was a few years back.

[@NickyNicest]

On the plus side, you’re not living in Fort Wayne IN anymore

[@davebags4576]

Sweetwater has a deal with the TD 27KV 2 for $3000 with a hydraulic throne and a Roland drum mat which is the best deal I have seen yet.

[@Gooby12337]

I already have a throne and mat, you think they'd switch those out for a hi-hat and snare stand?

[@zephyrp8836]

I decided to upgrade from a td-07 and ordered that one, it was a sweet deal

[@HaxStudio]

My guy! This upload was much needed and sincerely appreciated. 🙏🏽

[@65Drums]

Thanks! I was a bit on the fence on whether to make this, glad I did

[@reubenk7331]

I really appreciate not only highlighting the deals, but your information and opinions about why the prices, or pieces of equipment, are actually good or bad.

[@Aloha967-tree-fo-wer]

The Evans Sensory System is three physical triggers, but a wide variety of separately programable sounds can be assigned in many spots on the head. It is very creative.

[@paradiddlesjosh]

And it’s expandable to seven of the Sensory Percussion sensors, as well as 1/4” inputs (and a pair of XLR inputs!) for additional triggers, outboard gear, or microphones. While it’s certainly not a system for everyone, it’s solid for what it offers and the sensor response is stellar. I’ll be playing around with mine on a hybrid kit for a long while

[@Aloha967-tree-fo-wer]

@@paradiddlesjosh I will definitely be adding it to my toy box soon. Thanks for the info.

[@commonman317]

I haven't had a drum set for at least 5 years now. But, I always enjoy keeping up with Justin's videos when I can. Happy Holidays Justin, and to all the viewers too.

[@cajondrummer5875]

Bs the best deal is from thoman ..Millenium 750x ..$562 DELIVERED NYS USA! Delivered in 5 days!

[@しろあかしや]

Yoooo I’m so glad you did this video can’t wait to watch because I’m trying to spend money!!!!

[@65Drums]

Thanks for stopping by! :)

[@damuotoko]

For drum-tec, I think one of most relevant deals are the mesh heads right now (~30% off). Can save you 50-60€ on a full set.

[@donaldtrump4206]

❤ this should be key in the video

[@XerazoX]

The TD-27KV2 is €2650 on Thomann, and they don't even have a sale yet!

[@c0okiEmonst3r-97]

They put the mps1000 as in the ciberweek sale. Same price as it was before.

[@laptoples]

I just went back and watched the old vintage drums part ! I'm a sucker for the old stuff for some reason...lol Not the machine gunning though, probably just that 80's look ! Hahahahahahaha That's for the video Justin ! :-)

[@TamMusician]

I never miss any videos of Justin That was fun to watch

[@65Drums]

thanks dude!

[@steve_troy]

Start following a bunch of reverb listings and you'll get them even cheaper than the listed sale prices. I scored a brand new td27-KV2 for $2500 shipped.

[@Vlad_Portnov]

Which seller did you buy from?

[@steve_troy]

@@Vlad_Portnov ProAudioStar. It was listed as used - mint, which was still a good deal in my eyes. It showed up brand new, outer box had never been opened.

[@drummermomcjs]

The Roland TD50 KV had tom number two, it was placed as a second floor tom instead of in the rack tom position.

[@66meikou]

I gave my son my efnote 3x kit. I'm due my bonus at the end of the year. I'm going to look at the yamaha deals and ask e durm centre if they know of any efnote deals in the pipeline. Thanks for taking the time to show all these deals. Most of them I'm not interested but it's good to see you can get a decent kit for under 500$

[@PhatSimey]

Nice overview of what's what, Justin. No Black Friday deals on Roland kit in the UK so far, VAD-706 is still around the equivalent of $7400 and up, but that does include tax ;-)

[@Sundaydrumday]

Always a blast hanging out with ya Justin! I was pretty much with you on everything! I feel like there should be a bigger kind of sale for edrums, they are not being aggressive enough at all.

[@Gooby12337]

Really want an Efnote 3x... You think Efnotes will go on sale?

[@JackNJazz_]

Are you going to do a lemon drums video?

[@65Drums]

I’ve covered some of those cymbals. But I’ve still never played a complete drum set from them.

[@HaxStudio]

@@65DrumsThe Lemon T-950 LOOKS great. I was gonna grab one from Dolby Drums but they keep closing shop for some reason.

[@douglasmackenzie5265]

I'm probably in the minority but I don't mind the rubber tom pads on the Yamaha DTX6 series. They're pretty much indestructible. I've heard from some that the TCS pads can wear over time and that the heads cannot be replaced.

[@ikeeptime]

Love ur site Justin. Ur reviews are a must see for any e drum user. Im curious....why did you u say u wud not buy the Alesis strike pro to play live? I own one and look forward to using it live. Possible future vid???

[@EqDior]

As always love what you are doing. always creating quality content. On a side note, i have found a way to create a poor mans wireless DWE kit, in which im surprise that more people have not figure this out since to me seems like idea goes hand and hand with another instrument.

[@IvanBaas]

Costco sells a few Roland drum kits on discounts too.

[@jujoboha]

Justin, any plants on reviewing the Lemon T950? I would be extremely interested in seeing your opinion.

[@demonicsweaters]

I honestly like the white ddrum Neo. I already have a PD705, but I would consider it just because of it's unique look.

[@Tekkerue]

I'm considering the Simmons Titan 70 and the best I've seen is Musicians Friend has 15% off.

[@dbzcollector9963]

If you have an account with guitar center they send out holiday coupons. I got one for 35% off and used it towards an Alesis surge mesh kit special edition normally 600$ got it for about 400$. After spending over 2 hours setting everything up I gotta say it’s a fun kit and doesn’t take up all the space in my room I was able to just setup in a corner and play. Now I just gotta get better at it so I can do more than just a money beat 😂.

[@superblindeye1]

Thanks for this video. I just bought the Yahoma 6 k 2x.

[@RulgertGhostalker]

Tama should re-release the Cocktail Jam MINI as an "E- Shell Pack" .... because Multi-pads have up to 8 external Trigger inputs. talk about a hipster rig, hey?

[@wuffb]

Hi Justin . . . Is Pearl ever going to update the Mimic Pro again??

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

Interesting to see what is going on in the current market. I actually still use my good old TD-12 and I will keep playing it until it breaks. Also, all the newer edrums don't really have any significant upgrades that would make it worth for me to upgrade.

[@newberrywoodshop3981]

@65drums what's your view on the Millenium MPS-1000

[@nothingtoseehere93]

Roland really needs to release their next gen line. I’m waiting to get the next flagship since the td50v2 is already outdated by dw

[@PhatSimey]

Agreed, but talking to a friend of mine, not sure they will release an update to the TD-50X module, as they've probably gone as far as they can with it? Next step would have to be a full set of digital pads, including toms and cymbals with a module to suit- 10 or so USB-C inputs, and some legacy analogue inputs too of course. The again, Roland owns DW, so the DWe kit would now be their flagship kit. My only real gripe with the TD-50X module is the hotspot performance is noticeably worse than the TD-27 module. Then again, the TD-50X is just a TD-50 with new graphics and a firmware update, the internal hardware is still nearly 8 years old!

[@JEFXMUSIC]

Hey, I recognized those music store photos of Nashville Guitar center and Sam ash! Are you local in Nashville?

[@TrippyVision220]

Just hanging out 🤘

[@vinster907311]

How about Yamaha finger drum, $200. Small, DTX samples, good for practice

[@Giga1337]

Justin, at least here in Europe I just checked - I bought the VAD507 in Germany about 3 months ago, and the price is about 400euros lower now. God, that hurt so much realizing the price drop. Does not even seem to be a black friday deal: the price just dropped.

[@65Drums]

Ouch that sucks :( here in the United States, those new prices are gonna hold until January. So in the case of Roland and Yamaha, it’s more like an end of year price drop than strictly a black Friday thing

[@Giga1337]

@@65Drums Ahhh I see, but yeah that hurt me a bit ahah. But oh well. At least I get the chance to say: Great channel man, recommended your channel to a ton of drummers I know and watch every single one, love it, keep it up! :D

Yesss, i needed to see this 🙏

[@360.Tapestry]

not really in the market, but i always like to window shop

[@65Drums]

Same here, I'm not buying either but it's fun to see what's happening

[@matthewperry2394]

Any recommendations for a kit with a double bass pedal, or is it better to just buy one separately?

[@dontcareisaidit]

Great video as always. I might grab the nitro mesh extension for the 358 at musiciansfriend cus i just need something to trigger the vst's and I wasted a year of my life on the simmons top of the line last year (not at your recommendation in videos no worries lol just shopping on my own and saw the huge kit size). The brain didn't work right, would be fine on it's own sounds but then cross talk was ridiculous between cymbals and pads anytime I used it as a midi trigger for any drum vst. Company couldn't help me when I finally reached out after a few months of issues so I finally just sold it to someone who wasn't going to use it for that intended use at a third of what I paid. I had better luck with an old alesis triggering vsti drums back in like 2012, but didn't know i was supposed to play lighter than a real kit.... killed the kick drum in a few months, wasn't covered lol. I figure i could use the mesh kit down the road when i upgrade to the real drum kit and mic it up and have extra special triggers like Danny Carey does (biggest inspiration)

[@flyLeonardofly]

What is the best module if i only want to use drum software for the sound. Does the Roland TD50x have benefits even if I do not use the inbuilt samples?

[@Hahndo91]

Hey Justin. What’s your opinion of the fesley FED1000.. I keep going back to it. I’m not sold on it being an off brand, but the independent hat and mesh kit are tempting at that price point. Have you had any experience with fesley products?

[@inaktiveshooter]

I'm really about pulling the trigger on the DTX10k TCS.. Im also looking to add to it if I do, what would add, substitute or rearrange pad wise? Thanks!

[@Kevown1984]

Would you recommend the Alesia Strike Pro SE for home recording and streaming?

[@keithpratt1849]

I was considering getting the Alesis Strike pro set,mainly for home practice, but also gigs where volume is an issue. Why is is not acceptable for live use? I have a Dm10 mk 2 pro that is almost 6 years old. I just replaced the bass drum pad. This kit is starting to have issues after 6 years of heavy use. Looking for advice and suggestions. Thank you.

[@MrBastrider]

What would be your advice about td17kvx2 VS td27kv (first version). At first i wanted to buy td17kvx2 but then I saw that if I added approx. 400€ I could buy the "old" version of the td27kv (not the td27kv2). It seems than the cymbal/hihat pads have been enhanced on the 27kv2 (the module v2 update is available also for old td27). I don't know if getting the latest td17kvx2 would be better than getting this 'old' td27kv especially for the cymbals.

[@5991000]

the only one i'm considering that I didn't see here is the simmons tian 70, on sale for 650 at GC. any thoughts on how it compares to the 1250 for 800?

[@rgefseds]

what did you end up going with?

[@parkdaunchung38]

Hello, I am between a roland td07dmk and a nux dm8. Which one World you recommend me buy? Thank You!

[@MesaMXR]

Hoping that the DTX Multi-12 is EOL and will be replaced with something else at NAMM. I'd kill to have the DTX Pro sounds in a multi-pad.

[@65Drums]

Man, me too. It's 14 year old now

[@Cocoicoo]

A store in my country selling yamaha dtx8k-m for $1800, is it worth the money ? Please answer..

[@johndef5075]

The Titan 50 is a nice deal.

[@Tbasker]

bye a used td8 td10 or td12 "if you can live with a hi hat non digital" :-) they are stil better than any middel range kit (if you use it with ez3 or better software) max price 400 $ no deal better 🙂

[@howards5695]

Stay away from 1250, terrible snare with trigger problems

[@CrowofJudas]

Hey buddy I had a question for you! I was thinking about getting a alesis command, but I'm scared about getting it because I'm afraid that they will put a whole new drum module out pretty soon since these have been out for quite a while. Do you know if alesis will be releasing new drum module soon? Should I just wait for the next series of drum modules?? Thanks to you in advance

[@jameeldababneh4757]

Hey Justin great video as always, I have a question does anyone know why yamaha don't include dual zone toms with the DTX 6 series (rubber or tcs) same as td17? Like does the module even have the ability to read duel zone triggers for the toms? I'm very interested in buying the yamaha but this feature is important to me and I've never heard anyone talking about it.

[@Link73115]

[@IvanBaas]

What about Simmons Titan 70???

[@brobob52]

Do u know anything about in ears. I dont even know where to start on a really good pair other than the shure 215.

[@Goodnuggz]

I'm just getting into drumming, something I've wanted to do since middle school. I've just bought the TD-27KV2 from Guitar Center ($3k), and I'm wondering what you think about buying extended warranty? Bought the 3 year for $300. I wish the edrum site still had the Roland KD180L V-Kick option available. I'd return the set i got in an instant. I've left everything sealed in the box's just incase I came across a video like this. Thanks for any responses ahead of time.

[@AdamRichardson-n5z]

If you have the money, I recommend extended warranty (unless it already comes with a comparable warranty from the retailer). My personal opinion is I feel much more at ease, with such a big purchase, knowing it’s covered..esp with so many different electronic components. Good luck!

[@dbzcollector9963]

At that price point I would definitely get an extended warranty, I went cheaper since I have zero experience on drums and a more expensive kit would just be waisted on a beginner like me. I went instead with an Alesis surge mesh kit for like 400$ and it plays great no need to worry about warranty’s or anything since it’s a fairly inexpensive kit that still plays like a higher end one.
