Bro you GOTTA do 5150 next. Your kit is SCREAMING for it to be done! Shit man amazing job. Since Eddie passed, it’s been amazing to see all these people do covers, and believe it or not it eases the pain a lot. He may be gone, but all you gotta do is hit “play” on any album of theirs. You did a great job brother. Kudos

[@MikeConwayDrums]

Wow, thank you for checking it out and for the AWESOME comment! Right on brother -- I'm still processing Eddie's passing too. I've mostly been digging on the DLR era, but there are some killer tracks from Van Hagar as well. Man, their music is such GOOD TIME fun rockin music... there's just nothing like it today IMO.

Great playing and sounding kit. To me on the album it sounds like in the verses, there is no snare...its all kick drum. What do you think?

[@MikeConwayDrums]

Well that is possible for sure. I always thought the kick is so loud & up front in the mix, it pretty much drowns out the snare when they're hit at the same time. Thanks for watching & commenting as always! 🙏💛🤘🤘

[@iestyndavies7287]

Hey Mike. What set up would you recommend as a decent electronic kit? I’m an accomplished drummer but have never used an E-kit. I’m looking to dip my toe, and suggestions?

[@MikeConwayDrums]

Man, there are a ton of great options nowadays. If your budget is limited, I would go for one of the lower-end Roland or Yamaha kits. There are amazing acoustic-looking kits (check out muzziodrums.com) too. But Roland and Yamaha seem to be the most reliable, with some of the Alesis lower-end kits having some durability issues from what I've gathered. But the high-end Alesis Strike Pro apparently has fixed the quality issues.

Am I the only one that can't tell the difference between the different cymbals? They all sound alike to me.

Hmmm... yes they do sound pretty similar! I kinda tried to emulate the super crisp AVH drum sound production, which doesn't help I'm sure. I'm definitely no sound engineer lol!
