Everlong drum cover using Alesis Compact Kit 7

[@gamify4228]

Wow I’ve been searching for cheap alternatives to buying a full drum kit and this is probably the best option and this just tells me that you can shred on this thing good job man

[@radrico9876]

I bought this a couple of years ago so i can have a whole band at my disposal if i ever had friends come. Also just wanted to practice drums cuz im not good at it at all except for on my chest with a few beats haha. You make it look so easy. I just glanced over and wanted to see if i could find anyone using it to inspire me to maybe get back into it. I needs some lessons for sure, but thank you for this man.

[@fromaggio7654]

You used the thing to its fullest! Great job!

[@emzteevee8323]

Thank you!

[@kr1schapman]

Came to see if this little kit could cope with some proper drumming.... Confirmed. Top job.

[@totallyirrelevant5851]

awesome buddy ive got this kit but its never sounded like that!! 5StarZ for you !

[@zildjianpro]

Whoa this little drum kit sounds/plays better than I thought. Might just pick one up now. Great job on the drumming BTW.

This video might just have convinced me to finally get it :) Thanks

Nice!!!! Paramore naman sa susunod please

[@EobardKhan]

Brilliant play! Makes me want to bring over my CompactKit7 from my old place. :-D You're making the most out of this thing.

[@rajesh458]

Can you share me the link to purchase this..

[@johannsimonot]

@@rajesh458Try: alesis compact kit 7 on amazon, 139 euros ;) For the price, even for 300euros, you wont find a nice thing like that ;) 139euros is like free for the quality.

[@lourdesalvarez4957]

Hi :) how has been your experience so far? do you thing is a good idea to buy it ? and about the pedal, does it make too much vibration on the floor? I live in a flat and I am not sure because of the neighbors. Thank you

[@glarrymoreme]

How did you control the bass drum pedal I really struggled with it.

i'm using an actual kick pedal and an improvised kick pad using a piezo mic.

Bro i need help..i want to buy one for our church..please can u suggest what would i choose? Alesis Compact kit or Yamaha DD75? and whats the advantage to choose that?

[@AverageTV]

How do you connect it and get it to work so you can hear the sounds in your pc ?

[@Rightchickenwing]

Nice one man. Gonna get one of these for my Dad. It's one of most larger and sturdy tabletop kits, the roll up one's Ive seen are piddly!

[@emzteevee8323]

thanks! this kit is also cheaper than Yamaha DD75.

[@zuphie9680]

Hey I'm struggling to hit the kick pedal accordingly. Did u struggle the first time?

[@eardamagedsoundtrack2472]

I liked it man 🤘

[@juancamusic]

Amazing! Are you using any effects or it’s just the sound from the amplifier?

[@emzteevee8323]

i just used my android phone and iRig, no effects or amplifier used in this video. ;)

[@jettysisodiya5951]

Thank you

[@WillisZzz]

Alesis should be paying you for this! Curious how much control do you get over the sound? Can you change the reverb, wet/dry, etc? Can you use it to control other MIDI gear?

[@pedrohenriqueboscofi]

It's midi over usb, so you can control computer software over midi but there is no actual midi cable out to plug into another midi in

[@WillisZzz]

@@pedrohenriqueboscofi That's ok, I have an iConnectivity USB interface that can be a USB host if I want to control 5-PIN midi gear. I ended up buying one for the kids (and me of course); MIDI is the best part, as far as I'm concerned! That way I can use it to trigger sounds from a sampler, where I can really change the sound. Unfortunately with the Alesis onboard sounds, you can't change the playback pitch. I don't understand why they didn't add pitch control; it's not hard or expensive to implement, and it's super fun to downsample a poor resolution sound file into a punchier, grittier, nastier drum sound. Luckily, the midi works fine for my purposes, and I've even made a few on-board kits that aren't bad, although I always just want to turn the pitch down on all the built-in kick drum sounds. The kicks are beyond vanilla... they're more like neopolitan icecream, awkward, pokey, and unsatisfying. That said, it's a toy; I knew that when I bought it. As a toy it's a lot of fun, and worth the deal price.

[@pedrohenriqueboscofi]

@@WillisZzz that is really useful, like if I wanted to trigger a roland MT-32! Wish I had one...

[@WillisZzz]

@@pedrohenriqueboscofi I'm not familiar with the MT-32. What's it got that makes you want it? It looks similar to a Roland Sound Canvas...

[@pedrohenriqueboscofi]

@@WillisZzz it is the precursor of sound canvas

[@arentosas]

Does this actually help you with learning the drums?

[@AmyYdoesntlikehandles]

I have Pyle drums and have been trying to look for ways to play foo fighter songs on them,so hopefully this’ll help me out

[@ralftodtitec3305]

Very good

[@Pyroshep86]

Very nice … you are very talented !! I’m just taking up drumming and just got myself a dd-70 .. are you using the stock bass peddle ? I’ve heard some negative feedback on the small basic peddles … but with me being a novice i don’t want to waste any money upgrading to a good bass peddle if i don’t need to . Again brilliant performance … taylor hawkins will be prowd .. RIP you legend !!

[@sidusize]

Nice job man! Is it possible to plug a third pedal for a double bass drum?

[@emzteevee8323]

yes, you can use a Y jack for that

[@ichihagna1967]

is that Ahead drumstick you we're using in this video

[@hiren3475]

Bro please tell me what you used as a stand

[@Loki_29]

I think it's a snare stand

[@mikgray484]

thanks for the tips sir regarding sa swap ng snare dahil sa mga sanay sa cross stick, gusto ko lang malaman kung pano po iadjust ang sensitivity ng pedal kick at hihat sana mapansin

[@emzteevee8323]

wala sir. pero pede mo i-adjust yung volume ng each pad.

[@giantcheesegrater]

Would you recommend this kit for a beginner to learn on?

[@realicepick285]

I'm interested in this as well

[@emzteevee8323]

absolutely!

[@isabellacagnana2701]

Damn, you killed it! I was thinking about getting this set as a gift for someone, I see you have something plugged into it, a hard drive? What would you say are some of the necessary accessories for this?

[@erebys21]

Looks more like a power bank

[@blackoutmusic2003]

What bass drum pedal do you recommend? I have the same drum set but I don't like the pedals that came with it at all. What pedal do you recommend?

[@emzteevee8323]

i used a Pearl P930 single pedal when i recorded this video. you can choose what pedal would suit you, go to your local music store and try different pedals.

[@MrMetalclay]

Great playing! I just picked up one of these and realized how bad my timing is. I find I have to be really accurate or it sounds bad.

[@zuphie9680]

For me, the timing is great but the kick pedal kills me. How do you do now?

[@deadringer28]

Your like to view ratio should be way higher. Great job.

[@wallisrussell]

Hi. Question. I'm left handed , so am I able to assign the snare to the right pad or is all pre assigned

[@emzteevee8323]

the drum pad sound preset is that the snare is on the left side. but you can reassign the snare on the right and even all pads if you want to. then save it on a blank tone bank.

[@wallisrussell]

Thank you. 😊

[@r0m0x]

Amazing job! I guess that you are not using the crappy pedals that are included, right?

[@carlofrancisco5256]

Can you reprogram each drumpad to your preference? E.G. tthe snare in the middle instead of the hi-hats..

[@jibbsey]

You can, but the smaller hihat pad doesn't respond as well to ghost notes/flams etc

[@c3rivera]

sounds awesome man! keep playing! How do you change the toms to a snare?

[@oldmangreg44]

Sounds great dude, what do you use for a stand for this piece of kit? I can't find a stand for it anywhere!?

[@emzteevee8323]

just a regular snare stand

[@lethalz9]

Nice one, thanks for the vid. How does the kit feel to play? Like rebound feel and that? Cheers

[@emzteevee8323]

feels good to play this table top kit. rebound is different from an acoustic kit. the rubber is a bit stiff but still has some good rebound i would say. had to be more accurate with sticking since the pads are small compared to an electronic drumkit.

[@lethalz9]

@@emzteevee8323 thanks, thats nice to hear!

[@DrTomoculus]

@@emzteevee8323 Which one worked? I've tried hooking the Alesis CompactKit 7 to Acid Music Station, Reason 11, Ableton Live, Pro Tools and cannot get a single one of them to "hear" it. The only one I could get to remotely respond it was there was Reason 11, which allowed me to use the CompactKit as a midi device through buses, which then allowed me to play kits I have in Reason 11. But with a latency delay so bad it wasn't worth playing. What DAW are you using? Is CompactKit 7 only useable with Windows 10 or something like that?

[@emzteevee8323]

@@DrTomoculus i am currently using Cakewalk by Bandlab. but i do not connect it directly to my computer, btw, i am using windows 10. instead, i use an audio interface. this will help you solve the problem and eliminate the latency. hope this helps!

@@emzteevee8323 Ah! What audio interface are you using? That would be of great help if you could suggest or advise how you hooked it up to your laptop/pc. It's actually a pretty decent little kit. But I got extremely frustrated after 5 hours trying to get these various DAW programs to "read it."

unfortunately not. but you can change the tone on the pad by selecting different presets.

so i can easily hit the snare on the right while doing the 16 beat on the hi hat which is in the middle of the drum pad. just to avoid cross sticking, that's it.
