TAMA True Touch Training Kit Demo

[@sweetwater]

Practice makes perfect! Get a kit feel with a quiet sound 🤫

[@RockyTop85]

Practice makes permanent

[@jefgirdler7232]

A, Nick, you're a monster drummer and I don't think we pay enough attention to that with these videos, it's always nice to see a sales rep that can walk the walk with this gear. Secondly, I give it about five minutes before someone straps triggers to these and uses it as a ridiculously quiet e-kit for half the price.

[@Feezzurb]

that's exactly what I was thinking of doing. Is that possible?

[@andrewbenoit8380]

@@FeezzurbI’m thinking yes but maybe not with the same kinda triggers you’d use on an acoustic set…. But that Yamaha one that influencers use???? Oh yea baby

[@dxzxax8772]

I can vouch for the 5-piece Tama True Touch. Now, it is expensive, but I'm been so impressed with the feel and sound of everything. The toms sound even better than I thought and there's definitely a tonal difference between them. Paired it with a set of Zildjian L80s, you have a perfect low-volume practice set up. I even bought the Zildjian L80 splash and china cymbals to expand my practice kit to match my acoustic kit! Now if only we could make a low-volume cowbell!

[@duenasj]

Nick D'Virgilio is easily one of the best drummers ever. He's a pretty good salesman too! I haven't wanted practice pads so badly since I first started playing drums! 😀

[@gbirdo4718]

0:25 that beat sounds dope i wana hear it on a real kit.

[@chestnut.mountainstudio6556]

Love the clicky sound

[@manny2092]

That man can play the hell out of that practice kit!!! 😂

[@dilsonluiz3567]

that's an investment I really would do!!! great piece of gear for someone like me who lives in a studio flat therefore not a drum friendly place.

[@nixneato]

Gotta love Nick!

[@MarrowPercussion]

Nice drumming skills man! I have the Tama True Touch Kick Pad which is fantastic!❤

[@tae-yunlee7658]

30% here for the kit, 70% here for NICK !

[@JayKayEllEmm]

I love this in theory, but you can get a used shell pack and Evans db One mesh heads for only $50-100 more and that’ll do you way better

[@arbogast4950]

Wtf Nick, you're too good dude 🤣

[@Law-Enduring-Citizen]

This thing is great!

[@EmoryDrummer06]

I couldn’t say stainless steal spheres 10 times fast lol 😂 lol 😂 but that is a really cool kit Nick you are a good player. 👍🥁🤟

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Nice rig, but I don't think my neighbors downstairs will appreciate it 😂 I practice on a nonfunctional thrift store Rockband video game kit and bass drum pad. Definitely not as nice as this setup.... I might have to look into the quiet cymbals, though 🤔

[@SimplicityForGood]

van one add the Tama electric sensors to this to make its an electric drum kit as well?? curious one this idea... :)

[@aseomg]

The snare & kick is cool, but wow! You can get Tama's own Club Jam acoustic kits for the same price or less.

[@jefgirdler7232]

I want one so bad. They're adorable and I am smol.

[@lajeanette33]

You’re exactly right! I don’t get the price of that practice kit!!!

[@cheetah694]

The price comparison is irrelevant, since it's not about buying a kit, it's about playing it. You cannot play your own acoustic kit at home unless you're a very rich person or live in a rural area (and then you won't have money for any kit). At least in my area with a lot of people around, even if you live in a villa, there will always be that neighbor.

[@aseomg]

@@cheetah694 lol, do you have drums? A Tama Club Jam kit with some mesh heads can be a low volume kit, for the price of the Tama True Touch training kit. The toms on this kit are horrendous. You can make better sounds with some plastic buckets, lol Playing with brushes versus sticks also work as a low volume solution. This Training kit is just a marketing ploy to get people to but a Tama drum kit. I feel embarrassed for Nick during this segment of the demo @ 5:43 - 6:12

[@cheetah694]

@@aseomg No, I don't have drums. My neighbors harassed me non-stop, so I had to sell the kit. Now I play my training pad.

[@bobg4657]

nice shirt ... what time does the starship leave?

[@budokaiboy]

As soon as your Mom finishes servicing the crew. 😉

[@darranhanlon8709]

What are the cymbals

[@itsmatchew]

Sabian Quiet Tone Cymbals

[@gordrum]

Jon Lovitz can play!

[@adamsdrumroom8229]

😁👍

[@gbirdo4718]

dude nick is a beast lmfao

[@glennmikes1726]

That 10 times fast

[@dirceu83]

Awesome gear, but at this price I would just buy an electronic set.

[@DavidOakesMusic]

I did and I just added acoustic parts to it as I went. Went with the Zildjian L80 and a Tama snare with a Mesh Head on.

[@sharper9009]

Why would anyone ever spend this much money on something like this? I literally don’t get it. Just spend the same money you would on this kit plus cymbals and buy an electronic set. If you don’t want the sound then just don’t turn it on; at least then you would have the option 🤷🏼‍♂️.

[@shanebenlolo3160]

I just purchased it. I played an edrum set for 5 years, it’s what I learned on. When I went to go pick play an acoustic set I had no experience with the touch or feel of it and could not play very well at all. These prioritize simulating a genuine touch and feel of real drums over stimulating their real sound. They also sound better than an edrum set turned all the way down. As someone who lives in an apartment but plays an acoustic set with a group of friends once a week, these are just what I needed

[@Visuvh]

I agree it's a bit expensive, but the feel is much closer to an acoustic than most e-drums. And it's more silent than too.

[@carstenmanz302]

Ways too expensive, no hh/cymbals/pedals - e-drums are much better and cheaper!

[@BabyBowDingBall]

The idea is that most drummers already have those things. I wouldn’t be interested in pedals or hi-hats as I’m very particular about those things and I’m sure most other drummers feel the same way. Yeah it’s still a little expensive but it does actually appear to be decent quality, whereas the DW kit that usually goes for $230 or so is not very good at all.

[@Ben-ic1ve]

@@BabyBowDingBall I mean that’s fair, but I think if someone wanted a quiet kit, they would also need the quiet cymbals.

[@RockyTop85]

Way too expensive

[@RockyTop85]

This thing isn’t quiet

[@gabrielemartino2466]

Yes, they are cheaper, but good luck practicing proper dynamics and expressive hi-hat work on e-kits in the same price range... The advantage of these is that you don't get that much difference in feel when you come back to the real drums, whereas with e-kits it's way harder because normal mesh heads's bounce is different (and makes some things way easier or harder, making performance on real drums foreign feeling, and harder at times). Not to mention that small rubber cymbals with no more than 2 or 3 zones confine you into what is possible with those, so it would always be a conscious effort both to sound the same as the e-kit on a real one and to utilize all the other infinite sounds that real cymbals offer. A kit like this one paired with some low volume cymbals which behave and can be played much more like real cymbals doesn't restrict you creatively and build bad technique habits. If you're a hobbyist maybe e-drums are better because you can have more fun on them and more sound possibilities... But for people looking to maintain a certain level of musicianship with real drums (and already own hardware), living somewhere which doesn't allow for real practice, I believe this would be a much better companion in the long run.
