[@kathleenandbruce]

Just bought a set, will get it Monday. Can't wait to try it in Cubase and use all the drum sounds that I have, EZDrummer, groove agent, Jay Weinberg, etc.

[@adieproduction]

How did it go? Could you use it in your daw with your sounds?

[@kathleenandbruce]

Yes using slate trigger, I was able to use the Aeroband to input midi and replace anything with my own sound sources using slate trigger. It's awesome putting my simple drumming in and have Jay Weinberg imputed in for my final sound.

[@adieproduction]

@@kathleenandbruce that's really cool, i should plan to buy this sticks 😎

[@NewfieXbox66-ju4qb]

I just bought those the other day on Amazon for $250 Canadian well the best thing about them is you don't have to always keep transferring your Acoustic drum kit to and from Band Practice that's a huge Bonus👍

I like how can use your heel to play the bass drum.

Yeah I kinda like it better that way!

That gives me an idea, what if you were playing your acoustic drum kit, but using your heel to play the bass drum.

[@AlejandroSifuentes]

haha I cant play like that in the acoustic set

[@samaphantNovaJewelX]

Could you try drum samples from mixwave or EZ Drummer VST

I've seen those air drum drum sticks before on Instagram, and I was waiting for you to an unboxing video of them.

[@AlejandroSifuentes]

They are all over IG, they are really fun!

[@stdbz]

it's a cool concept, do you think it's a really big difference in results compared to a real set? also for people who want to try drumming and practice? do you think you can do something serious with this or better of as a fun device to enjoy the moment ? would love an answer, much love 🫶🏻

[@sebashy4222]

Im not gonna lie, these actually sound better than a lot of e kits, which is kinda sad lol

[@dougpowell7157]

There is definitely latency. This product is a great toy at best. Definitely not a learning aid, because of bluetooth connectivity it's virtuously useless in pretty much ANY professional application, including studio.

[@AlejandroSifuentes]

THAT'S AWESOMEEEE!

[@macvette1]

Hi Alejandro. I am 55 years old and I would like to start playing the drums. I love all your videos which are full of humor and very useful. Before buying a drum set, do you think I can start with the Pocket drum2 plus to learn the basics?😀

[@DB2023Space]

He might respond but I wanted to chime in as I'm in the same situation as you, but I'm 63 right now. I had researched e-kits since that's really the only sensible path for me and had narrowed down the kit I would probably go with. THEN I stumbled onto a few of the YT drummers that demoed these sticks. I ordered a set and had them about a week practicing etc. Once I finally got CakeWalk installed I was able to map different drum sounds (VSTs) and also record. This is just where I wanted to be. This will tell me if I want to pursue an e-kit ultimately. After I was all set up with the DAW and some testing I shut it down, then after dinner I got back to it but the module (adapter) would not power up. Contacted the company and they got right back to me even at night.... long story short they are sending me a new adapter. Not sure if something related to the MIDI cooked the adapter, regardless a new one should arrive today or this weekend and I'll pick up where I left off. Since I've been without the air sticks, I borrowed a practice pad from a buddy at the office. Been beating on that for several days now and I see where actual drummers have some issue with these virtual sticks particularly since there's no contact no bounce. Bottom line for me is yes for the money I love it and was really amazed how well they do work. As a "digit drummer" all my life and having some musical background when younger (violin) , this is a great introduction to drumming sounds. He did a really good job with this video and I want to see him in space jamming away one of these days. Maybe he can hitch a ride on the Starship once it's in regular operation! I say go for it! Just know they are not perfect. 😎

[@macvette1]

@@DB2023Space HI. Thank you for your answer. you convinced me to buy them even if they are not perfect

[@DB2023Space]

@@macvette1 reply back here once you get them. I'll be curious to see what you think. I read somewhere it all comes charged, but upon trying them when first opened I was not having a lot of luck. I was getting random sounds so I decided to charge everything full and that helped. Besides the zone or drum location, stick angle is very important. Here's another thing that I discovered this past weekend. I thought ok I'll take the sticks and adapter only with me on my normal park walk that's about an hour long. Well if you were only going in a straight line that's fine. As soon as you turn even a little bit everything is lost so you would have to go back to center with the sticks and re-calibrate. I decided air drumming and walking could wait a while. Alejandro: not meaning to hijack your comment section, just trying to help. 😎

[@macvette1]

@@DB2023Space Hi. After several uses, the module did not turn on, so I decided to return the set and rather than buying the same one again I decided to buy the e drumkit Donner DED 200 on Black Friday. Now i can't wait to receive it !😁

[@DB2023Space]

@@macvette1 congrats on your new purchase 👍 Since my last comment, the new module arrived and works fine. AND would you believe that after the original module sat here on the table for a few weeks and the batt was completely dead.... I plugged in the midi port to charge and the blue light came on. 😯 I powered it up and it is back to working fine. One of the gates or switches on the chip must have done a reset is all I can figure. Now have 2 modules and they are working fine. I need to send a note back to Frank in support I expect they'll be interested in hearing this. Enjoy your new kit and having something to actually bang on! Not sure if there's an ekit in my stocking this year or not but so far I'm still having fun with the air sticks and my little amp.😎

[@AkRockCovers]

[@mastergo88]

Does it can be used as cross stick?

[@rigoserrano1508]

1 thing I'm not understanding is how is it detecting the full drum set

[@AlejandroSifuentes]

Positioning sensors, it's crazy!

[@janrichter3555]

You calibrate it by pushing the buttons with the stick in front of you in the position of the snare drum at 45° angle. That's the point 0 and from there the position of the stick is detected by accelerometers etc. Basically any phone can do this. The angle of the stick is also important, not only its position.

[@AlejandroSifuentes]

[@russboy19701]

Let’s face it - nothing can really replace a drum set. Don’t kid yourself with this; yes it’s a bit of fun, but anyone who is half serious about hitting the right grooves, tempo, snare and Tom fills, high hat open/closed and crashes are going to be VERY disappointed with this. The tech is sound - unfortunately it can’t keep up with anything more difficult than a “Billie Jean” beat (and if you play drums, you’ll know what I mean). Forget trying to replicate anything else remotely more complex- it’s just a toy. And an expensive one at that. Hey I thought I could finally get away with late night drumming sessions on my very noisy electric drum kit but alas, this is NOT your answer. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. You’ve been warned…

[@robertblackmon1]

[@AyedClover]

It's fun. And you can play while camping. 😂

Yep it’s fun… if ya 4 years old. Is it fun, really? The thing can’t tell if ya hitting a crash or hi- hat, snare or tom 😅that’s not fun to me. Sorry to poor cold water on this guys but seriously- if it was £50/$65 dollars yep ok but…

[@slappymcslapster8845]

I just received these and after trying for 2 hours to get accurate hits I give up. Pile of garbage. I had so much hope because I live in a place where even e-drums probably won't work out. I don't know how these guys are able to even get through half of a song and not sound like complete newbies.

[@DB2023Space]

That's a bummer! I've had pretty good luck with them. One thing I found right away was to charge everything before trying them. Once I did that they worked much better. The other thing is you're not just reaching out and hitting something, you have to angle the sticks to get the crash, toms and ride. Try varying the calibration angle and attitude to see what the results are. Do your calibration then start at one side and tap constantly to find where sounds come in and go out for both "rows". You're definitely not going to start rock'n out till you get some time with them. They are not perfect and the "no contact" makes it even harder to get good even hits, but try some simple grooves and see what you get.
