How to expand your E-Drums with drum splitters!

[@truthseeker5216]

It's important to add that the single input female Jack must be STEREO, and the other two mono.

[@ari.stoner97]

Great observatiob

[@uria702]

Thanks for explaining this. I’m going to be adding a 4th Tom and a splash, China and 2nd crash to my td17vx

[@npaz24]

Did it work bro?

[@uria702]

@@npaz24 yup. Worked perfectly. My only downside is the rack it came with is on the smaller side so it’s a really tight squeeze. I’m gonna be getting a new rack but I’m lazy to reconfigure everything and do the cable management all over again. It was a real bitch

[@rjseps222]

Omg that was a rabbit hole, thanks man I’ll try a generic splitter first and follow the plug in advice.

[@l33tsaux321]

Hey man great video! Im not sure if I hooked it up wrong but the rim of my drum and the edge of the cymbal pad still makes the sound of the of the opposite pad. Like if I hit the cymbal pad sometimes itll make the drum sound and when i hit the drum pad sometimes itll just make the sound of the cymbal. Never just the sound i want it to make

[@emmavicto]

Hey did you have any luck solving this ? In having the same issue with a generic splitter i bought on amazon

[@RobMonty248]

I bought a second main unit, problem solved. lol. I tried all the other things and its ok if you cant afford, but the dual brains is super nice.. =)

[@liambirtwistle3102]

great video!!! Will these splitters work for a different brand of e-drums ? like Carlsbro, Alexis, etc/

[@migodrums957]

Thank you! I would say yes, after all they are just Jack cable connection splitters so they are supposed to be universal

[@808jam]

Does this also apply to splitting the existing cymbals? In other words, if I run out of toms to split, can I do the same with the cymbals? I tried but it wasn’t working. Not sure if it’s possible or not

[@betobecerra]

I already have an extra pad tha I'm using as a crash, If I wanted to add an extra hit-hat, would that cable work?

[@kylecooke9893]

Hey man! Can I get a link to exactly the link you're using? Much appreciated! You're the reason I just got into recording! Your channel is so helpful!

Any luck with this? I have a stereo to mono and can't seem to get it working :/

[@ray.a7343]

Ya but can u play the tom and cowbell at the same time?

[@barbados1267]

When I did this my 2nd crash that came with the kit was killed like it doesn’t make noise anymore and the 3rd cymbals I plugged in with the splitter also didn’t work but when I took the splitter off and tried to run the factory setup again the stock cymbal no splitter is still dead not making any sound i can’t fix it!!!

[@BlackLionRecordsTV]

What if I would simply like to have another China cymbal or crash ? and not perhaps be using a the second sound of the pad can i then choose like you did just plug in the spliter and assign another pad to be crash or does one have to set up it so for example if i strike the rim it it "rim" sound or can I just adjust the full pad to give "crash" sound when strike

[@mryouknowwho]

But can you still change your Tom 3 to a cowbell still?

[@custum18]

I did this as well. Anytime I get a new kit I spend hours reading the manual and creating several custom kits thats sound better than Rolands.

[@erichfranz08]

TY my friend!

[@bllcharliebeat]

Is there I certain type of spitter needed? I have the Hosingin audio video cable , it’s not giving me the rim shot for my toms

[@kundam12]

will you lose some sound foe example if i wanna add a new tom i lose the sound of the rim of 1 tom?

Hi , can I do this with my roland td 4kp ? I wish add one ride cimbals

[@LorenzoReina]

Nice video! Can you tell me if this splitter works the other way around? I mean, sending 2 separate signals into 2 different input in the drum module from a dual trigger pad. Thanks

[@riothood]

I'm using TD-17 too, I'm wondering if you can split from the Crash2 input and Aux??

[@bllcharliebeat]

So if I wanted to add 3 more cymbals I’ll need 3 stereo splitters nd 3 extra cords ??

[@michaelviana]

Hi man, please, help me. I bought a CY-5 Cymbal to use like a splash in my TD-11KV, but I don't how to install. I don't have any extra pedestal to put my cy-5. (Sorry my English, it's not my first language)

[@migodrums957]

Hey man, if I understand correcly you are missing the mechanical support for the cymbal, which you can find on a lot of music instruments websites. Mine is a double cymbal stand but you can find supports to attach directly to your rack. I don't know your drum kit so what I would is checking the name of the cymbal supports that came with your kit and then check of they are also sold separately (normally thetly are). Otherwise try to find a comparable support

[@juliangles92]

The flow & operation of your hi-hat sounds nothing like mine. Practically sounds acoustic. Is it the calibration? How did you get yours to function so lifelike like that?

[@migodrums957]

[@alousydrummer2846]

Hi, I have a question. Do you use the splitter on the splash cymbal too? I plan to adding china on my TDV17KVX. But still not sure whether I use splitter on the input for 2nd crash or put it in ride bell input.

[@migodrums957]

Hi, yes I use the splitter for the splash too but only because I added 2 extra pads on my left, not just 1. So I splitted the splash bell and diverted it on one of the pads on my left. If you are adding only 1 piece (the china) and nothing else, you don't need the splitter because the module already has 1 extra input you can use

[@migodrums957]

If it's in perfect conditions, as sometimes happens when someone buys a kit and then they have to sell it immediately for other reasons, I would take it. Maybe considering the investment and the fact that it's an electric product I would ask to try it first if possible.

[@joecfcfantastic]

Nice video man. Is that still the original rack you're using for most of the kit there? I have a td17 and I find the rack very small. Youve done very well to fit all those extra pads around it!

Thanks man! Yes it's still the original rack but in order to add those 2 pads on my left I have bought a double tom tom floor stand. The rack is big enough to ad a couple of extra cymbals, that's it...

I have the Roland td-1dmk and there is only 1 extra output available for the ride cymbal. I want to buy the Roland ride cymbal that has 3 zones. But the problem is that the cymbal requires 2 audio jack connections. If I buy this splitter, will it solve my issue?

[@migodrums957]

I would say yes... If you connect 1 audio jack to the only output available and then you split it in 2 other audio Jacks, you can connect one to the ride and one to the ride bell. It should work.

Do you have any advice on how to solve this?

Hi, to be honest I don't know... My pad connected to rim has a lower sensitivity too but it's just a different pad than the others. Have you tried to connect to Rim one of the pads that come with the kit? Does it change anything? Sorry for not being able to help much...

Cymbals are bad, two CY 12 on drumsplitter, and those values were 4 and 18 (almost normal hit). What additional cymbals and pads do you use and what are your settings and minimum "trigger values"?

Ciao sto imparando la batteria e sto pensando di prendere il tuo stesso kit. Mi consigli qualche canzone che reputi sia semplice per iniziare a suonare?

[@migodrums957]

Ciao, ti consiglierei invece di pensare a specifiche canzoni, di imparare un pò di grooves semplici in 4/4 (magari cambiando vari pattern di cassa e aggiungendo aperture di Charlestone e fill) che puoi in seguito applicare su moltissime canzoni pop e rock (un esempio che mi viene in mente sono gli AC/DC). Prova varie velocità e cerca di esercitarti sempre con un click in cuffia

[@migodrums957]

@@dapone20 ciao! Eh, bella domanda... Se stai imparando a suonare ti sconsiglierei di spendere tanto per una batteria elettronica (che è comunque un surrogato), ma immagino tu sia obbligato da fattori "logistici" come me. Non ho mai suonato una KV ma mi sembra che la differenza principale sia un piatto in meno e Charlie senza asta (nella kvx devi comunque comprarla separata) che non è il massimo. Ha però il rullante delle stesse dimensioni e monta pelli mesh che è la cosa più importante, per rimbalzo e rumorosità. In sintesi, se ti interessa imparare a suonare bene, con la giusta postura e praticando i rudimenti, devi prendere uno strumento di qualità. Se vuoi più che altro divertirti suonando canzoni etc... Puoi spendere anche meno della KV

Poi non so se diventerò batterista di qualche grande band 😂 però vorrei lo strumento giusto per imparare. Se con la kv sarei costretto quanto prima a fare upgrade allora prendo direttamente la kvx.

Ciao, una soluzione simile per il modulo td25kv?

[@migodrums957]

Ciao, direi che questo metodo funziona a prescindere dal modulo, la cosa importante è avere a disposizione un dual trigger pad. Il vantaggio è proprio il fatto che "splittando" un cavo non si ha bisogno di ingressi aggiuntivi sul modulo

[@stefanoid94]

@@migodrums957 grazie per la risposta innanzitutto. Essendo io ignorante nel campo la mia intenzione è semplicemente aggiungere un pad in più alla mi roland Td25kv appunto, e vorrei sapere di cosa necessità il modulo per questa espansione

[@migodrums957]

Non c'è di che. Ti serve solo lo splitter, da applicare a un cavo che va dal modulo a un pad con due o più trigger (cioè un pad con più "zone" di suono). Aggiungendo un cavo extra puoi così separare i due suoni e dirottarne uno sul pad in più che vuoi aggiungere. Ovviamente rinunci a un suono del dual trigger pad (che sarà uguale a quello del pad extra), ma è il modo più semplice per aggiungere un pad

[@migodrums957]

Ciao, se ho capito bene vorresti usare lo splitter per collegare i 2 cavi che vanno al piatto (campana + zona centrale) in un unica entrata che puoi inserire in un'unica porta aux. Ad essere onesto non sono sicuro al 100% che funzioni, anche se a logica ti direi di sì.
