[@Heka41]

he lives in Canada, but he's from New Jersey

[@pang224]

DAW!

[@Gavinninjatek]

hahahaha brilliant =D

[@vaultlab_arte]

I start to laugh hard when he says DAW! ahaha

[@BiRDiEHere]

[@fabianosilva07]

Hahaha

[@Czyszy]

Då!

[@metalhead0740]

I fucking love this guy . he's quality.

[@richmondyayarea]

I didn't hear any fart sounds in this one, step your game up.

[@disillumination2227]

You are one of my favorite drummers dude, keep those videos coming!

[@patb66]

Thinking about getting in to triggers after 40+ years. Very informative, this old death metal dude thanks you.

[@Duro83]

The ending. Omfg that cracked me up.

[@StoneAIM]

when you said DAW, I laughed so much my snivel spitted out from my mouth...

[@RDchnl]

CoolmanTT Same here man hahahahaha

[@SlyHikari03]

DUWAH! All jokes aside, this was pretty helpful for setting up midi and triggers!

[@juanalpenuela]

Made my day XDDD greetings from Spain mate!

[@WestonWrathSimmons]

The ending was so stupidly funny. I was dying of laughter. Love your videos dude and keep it up!

[@martybuchanan1026]

If I grow up, I want to be 1/2 as cool as you.

[@nocomment2297]

Marty Buchanan if?

[@KitCatStudio]

if.

[@abeerharoon6451]

that dollar store alternative to moongel....just saved my life

[@aliengenetix2642]

1:49 "So what you want to do now is go into your drum module's MIDI bank and assign each trigger to each note for each drum." I sure would like a clearer explanation of this. I'm sitting here with the exact same TD-10 Module, a Focusrite Clarett+8Pre, trying to integrate Superior Drummer 2 into ProTools and I'm completely lost as to how to assign the trigger inputs to their counterparts in SD2, as well as having an individual track for each in ProTools. A kick, snare and 5 toms.

[@66Samus]

it would be in the advanced trigger settings in the TD10 :)

[@elliottsohns4686]

Been waiting for someone to make a video that explains it so well. Thank you!

[@lucyferina]

Cheapest module by far is the Alesis I/o. For about $150 there are lots of cheap trigger choices if you just want to convert a cheap used acoustic kit. All in all try to get Roland triggers as they are the best, and I have tried them all including diy.

[@TheZooCrew]

AKA ddrum ddti, because they apparently bought the TriggerIO and rebranded it. Even the driver and the device name in my DAW calls it TriggerIO.

[@codyodom4587]

Thanks for the suggestions. I've been playing drums for about 18 years and I'm new to the whole trigger game and also still don't really know much about recording in general.

[@guitarlordkryss]

fyi if you have superior drummer it has a stand alone app where you don't even need the daw. good vid dude. daaaaaaaaawwwww!

[@yvonestrom3562]

the beginning of the video was beast

[@schloo]

Everytime you said DAW I laughed so hard I had to rewind again. I have now starved to death at my computer.

[@symbolic261293]

man you're so cool you're an awesome drummer

[@drummerbhoyshug]

Brilliant, well done, I understood it well, it's not rocket science and you proved it, Thanks again you nutter ! 🥁👍👏 Take care 66Samus !

[@dougb7648]

excedra.... you crack me up man - love the videos....

[@Kane34572]

Am I able to eliminate using an audio interface? Can I just use my drum module and triggers and plug my headphones straight into the module? I know I won’t be able to use ezdrummer but would I atleast be able to hear the trigger audio real-time from the module? Thanks

[@WowFan991]

So you plug the MIDI from the drum module into the MIDI IN of the audio interface. Your PC is connected to the audio interface with a USB cable and it reads MIDI information right, you don't need any additional cables?

[@xThemisJr]

LOL. "Recording software. Also known as 'DWahGH!'" I legit thought you had a split second Seizure. ROFL.

[@jlebeau5150]

I’m curious, we’re hearing the results of the trigger on the video, what do you hear live in person? Do you still hear your drums acoustics? Is it a blend if you’re running through an amp as well?

[@Heka41]

because of this video, my whole drumkit is now dampened by Halloween gel stickers shaped like skulls and ribcages

[@ChernobylAudio666]

Oh my god, Sonar 8. What a wonderful DAW it was. :)

[@1959mstone]

Not trying to spam, but if you go to Dennis Stone drumming to Sunland , you can see that I mounted a Pearl E. pad into the head of the bass drums. No feedback at all.

[@IlikeMusicDrumLoop]

Triggers with EZdrummer!!👏🏼👏🏼🎶🎶👏🏼👏🏼 #IlikeMusic

[@SamirMamude]

Nice tutorial, I have all the requirements and my kit is a Roland TD4 and works pretty well. For 2017 I hope to be able to convert my Mapex Mars Pro and replace the TD4.

[@Staminist-MMF-80]

Glenn NEEDS to see this LOL

[@justarandomlittlemetalhead7058]

Staminist he actually uses them

[@peterpetrov7073]

Just A Random Little Metalhead he uses them as a gate, so that the drums can be heard only when hit.

[@cools6560]

LOL ... lost it when you played the piano ttriggers. haha best.

[@scottbrown7010]

Samus...you are the fucking man!

[@glisteningkabana8154]

Very cool! Sounded great man. Thank you.

[@AdamWiktor]

why don't I have these options in my ezdrummer to match the pad to the sound? I also have ezdrummer2. I don't have the details option as this window pops up with midi :( please help

[@Figs1999]

Quick question ..... When you record a drum track with the triggers for example when he just played with the piano notes, does the recording in the daw have just the piano notes or the piano notes and acoustic drum set sound?

[@EggiNB]

DAW!! such a nice video!

[@josealejandrotorreslora3788]

Really fucking funny and educational. Best combination ever.

[@thales_stat]

I’m considering not using close mics, just the triggers. Then placing some overheads mics to capture the general sound of the drums. Can you tell me if it works or not? We are a underground metal band, each venue has a different drum kit…

[@kaleschelin8067]

I'm poor. Where can I download quality metal kick drum samples at 16 bit 44.1 khz? I'm having trouble finding anything good that isn't 24 bit or greater.

[@TheMetalgod1998]

Fuck i shit myself with the "DAW" haha nice one bro, grettings from Chile!

[@jfpbman]

I love watching your drum videos. I don't even play drums jajajaja

[@Mustis1524]

Do you at all blend samples with your mics?

[@RÅNÇIÐ]

triggered

[@yoyoz333]

does each drum (tom, snare etc) have its own track on your DAW? or does the entire kit only get assigned to 1 track?

[@aidanrobles7621]

you're able to separate them into different tracks if you want

[@paultowns6993]

Good informative video man thanks. DAW!!!

[@bobbydtv1]

ha ha ha ha ha my nutz hurt from laughing well done dude ,well done indeed

[@SpacLingwood]

Very good video, sir

[@KitCatStudio]

this was funny. not sure if I learned anything ... just kidin the trigger thing was helpful as I am using almost the same setup . I'm searching for almost two days now for any info about midi drum routing in cubase or other daw's , not sure why I can't get it to multi channel in audio like some tutorial's show is possible!

[@anthonyb924]

Great video. At 2:20 what samples are you using exactly? I have EZD2 & metal machine and cannot find toms that sound that good. Thanks

[@guerson99]

Good day. I want to put triggers to my drums but I want to occupy the module (Roland TD50). Will I need the small interface and the large interface, or does the TD50 module replace those two devices ?. I'm new to that triggers friend, I liked the way you explain things. I hope you can help me, regards.

[@JonGUK]

Excellent, and very entertaining too

[@sh3vikdrum96]

do you make an hybrid with mics and triggers or just triggers?

[@larzblast]

You can turn your acoustic kit into a purely electric kit by just running triggers. Otherwise, if you want a blend of your acoustic kit's sound and your triggered sounds, then you need mics and triggers. Think of a trigger as just a switch (I know, it's oversimplifying it). Switches don't pick up and transmit sound like microphones. They just sense a hit and trigger your drum module to make a sound. That's why they're called triggers.

[@antondubkov]

great! :) (especially the 4:19 part :DDD )

[@slanguscfh]

looking gud 😻

[@epiczeven6378]

Very helpful! DAW! thank you

[@n1xta]

what about hihat is there only 2 articulations? open and shut no inbetweeen? or does that come from the drum module?

[@Spirit829]

Do you need on an acoustic(using only triggers and laptop) setup a drum module?

[@GunDrummer]

ohhhhhhhhh THATS what drum triggers are. I think I totally misunderstood...

[@thomaspugh289]

What model drum module do you use? Is there a difference between a drum module for electronic drums and a module for acoustic drum triggering?

[@scarzwithin]

Dude you are awesome and hilarious. DAW!!!!

[@benjaminprietop]

I guess what I don´t get about triggers is that, if you´re going to have a real drum set and then have it all triggered, then what´s the point about having a real drum set, when you can have the same results with an electronic drum set. I don´t know, maybe there´s something I´m missing, but that´s just how I feel. Great video btw.

[@RenaldoRamai]

good stuff man

[@AL_J-doing-stuff]

So for a Roland v-drum set, if I want to trigger a real drum kit, it’s as simple as plugging the triggers into the corresponding input of the v-drums, and I should get a pretty similar result as the v-drum kit?

[@AL_J-doing-stuff]

And, I just noticed this vid is 6 years old, haha

[@seanARNG]

I can't get the latency below 1.5ms with EZD2, ddrum chrome elite triggers on an acoustic set with regular Remo heads, ddrum DDTi midi/trigger interface and my TASCAM 20x20 USB 3.0 audio interface. My comp is Windows 10, 16GB RAM, Intel i7 6700k w/ USB 3.0. Doesn't sound too noticeable live (other than when the sound starts cutting out for whatever reason I have yet to discover), I want to achieve a synchronized blend of the acoustic set and the EZD2 sounds both for live and recording applications. I tried recording both at once.. major latency. I had to physically adjust the EZD2 tracks in the DAW to get them to line up. Why can't I just have everything I want??? Why is there no EZD for iPAD?

[@STORMBLAST321]

What software do you use for editing videos? Theres so many of them and i dont know if it all sucks or its just me hahah! It all ask to pay to fully use them... i wish to pay just one time for a good one! My english sucks sorry

[@martinvegh317]

Does Superior Drummer 2.0 work aswell?

[@1959mstone]

Great videos!

[@gregwilliams2764]

Hi. I bought all the items you listed. They are in the mail. I heard you say” no dynamics with triggers “. I saw a vid of nick D Virgilio doing a deal for Superior drummer 3 using a tad-50. He had dynamics. I’m thinking the Td17 will have that capability. In this setup you using, same as I just ordered, can you set up a chain of drum sets ? I did that with my TD-20 years ago. I used double foot switches to go up and down the chain. I bought ezdrummer 2 for $89 at Sweetwater. After I’m proficient in that I’ll get the SD3 for $299 more. Thx. Hope you or someone can answer this question

[@idroppedmypie]

might be a stupid question but can triggers also be used with all the other programs like perfect drums and superior drummer?

[@demonicsweaters]

lol, that end

[@jeremiahcoronel5389]

Do you know why my ezdrummer does not have a details button only kit button

[@vahnrondel]

Did i heard it right? Sensitivity can adjusted in this setup? Im using alesis nitro mesh. Is it in the module?

[@achudrastudios6391]

2:24 Pantera's Domination beginning, see what you did there :D

[@noampitlik2332]

Hey, wait a minute. This ain't no Weird Al video.

[@sixonethreesix4293]

Could you use triggers on a practice kit and low noise cymbals?

[@erikbarrett85]

Get decent quality window sticks if you use a coated head, it'll bleed the color out. If that bothers you...

[@InkcorperatedMusic]

love how this video ends lmao

[@JoeyRam.]

Hey Samus, I have my acoustis drum set with mesh heads; to have better sound (correct me if I'm wrong or missing something) I'm thinking to have the ddrum Chrome Elite Triggers, connected to the ddrum DDTi Drum Trigger Interface. Then the DDTi will be connected to my computer that will be running the daw: PreSonus Studio One 6 Artist to record. In order to have all separated signals (snare, toms, kick) goin in the daw, to later change between different sound options of EZ Drummer, will all described above be enough? ...anyone reading can also answer this, in detail please.

[@yuzon110]

Do I need a drum module to put my own samples to an electronic drum? Can't I just use a midi to usb cable and plug the drum module directly to my pc? Please help me out

[@thales_stat]

Can I replace the Module for the DDrum midi interface? I’d use only audio interface, DDrum interface and the “DAW”

[@66Samus]

yes you can!

[@tommodeski8637]

Are u blending acoustic and electric sounds, or are just hearing triggers, if so then the quality of your drums dosent matter right?

[@dahomiekrillz]

Can I get away without using a drum brain? I already have an expensive 18 chan digital mixer that has midi functionality. Can the triggers just act as a microphone and go direct into the board?

[@cocaapparel]

Im having a problem with hitting two toms at the same time they are not triggering both drums on the midi, any suggestions?

[@Zapperzz99]

so do you use only the midi sound in all your vids? or is it a mix of midi and what your mics pick up? or just mics?

[@LLeeAsphodel]

Very good! 👍👍👍👍💯😀

[@Rockysbeats]

but how do you record each drum as a separate channel when recording?

[@a6b59ghj51d]

DAW also know as a DERP! digital engineerig/recording program!

[@jfreem10]

Love your videos. I watched another video of yours where you had your own custom samples of triggering as well. Can this be done using the RolandTM-2 without using a computer? Our concern is playing live/ low latency without the computer and having our own custom samples for certain songs ( gonna probably build our own triggers into overalls or something). Our budget is small, but we will put in the work to make it good. Thanks a lot for your videos!

[@davidkosek761]

How can I record the cymbals?? For cymbals aren't a triggers...

[@chrishines756]

Will any DAW software work with this, or is there a preferred brand. I noticed you are using Sonar 8 Producer. If I'm understanding the function correctly, the DAW software shouldn't matter as long as there is control for MIDI functions. Am I in the right ball park?

[@TheZooCrew]

You'll need MIDI and (preferably) compatibility with VST plugins. Make sure your computer recognizes your audio interface and installs the right driver for it. Some DAWs won't work with 3rd party VSTs, so you're stuck with whatever instruments are already there. Also make sure you can adjust for latency. I use Tracktion 5 because it's free and things seem to work fine.

[@bambeese]

Can i use that with out drum module?

[@hossknot]

Man I cannot figure out how to assign cymbals on the rimshots of my v drums td30! Any help would be appreciated!

[@kevinmeli]

Dat intro though!

[@maxbley3539]

Can you not just hook up the triigers directing to the interface?

[@rjyepez]

Hola 66Samus, ¿podrías ayudarme con una duda? estoy usando una batería electrónica de 5 pads con el ezdrummer 2 y necesito poder usar la intensidad del golpe al pad para disparar un sonido u otro, es decir, que si le pego con una intensidad normal al hihat suene como un hihat cerrado pero si le pego con una intensidad mayor (fuerte) suene como un hihat abierto, de igual manera, si le pego con intensidad normal al ride que suene como un ride y que si le pego con mayor intensidad suene como la campana del ride. Ojala puedas ayudarme con esta duda. Saludos!

[@kepadrestardespierto]

Renny Yépez desafortunadamente no cambia de nota al cambiar la intensidad del golpe, solo se le puede asignar una nota a cada pad o en su defecto a los dual trigger si le puedes asignar 2 notas en un mismo pad, si tus hh son dual trigger puedes asignarle sonido de abierto y cerrado al igual que al ride campana y borde pero tendrás que pulsar en los 2 segmentos del pad respectivamente para cambiar de sonido y/o nota, saludos.

[@Sickdrummermagazine]

Awesome video...

[@MERV_]

Do i really need an audio interface? i have alesis surge with USB connection.

[@get2535]

Was it a Peter Griffin's impression at the end? lol
