Zildjian ALCHEM-E Demonstration

[@Bravo35Charlie]

I have been searching two years for a flagship electronic kit to replace my seven year old Roland TD-30KV V Pro kit. I played several top of the line electronic kits the past two years. Many of the kits drum sounds were OK, but all of the cymbals felt fake like my Roland kit. I played a Zildjian Alchem-E Gold EX kit during the Music City Drum Show the weekend of July 21st and 22nd. I had the opportunity to meet and talk with Mike Weber with Zildjian. Mike was gracious with his time, demonstrated the kit, and answered all of my questions. Out of all of the best electronic drum kits I played and listened to at the drum show, this drum kit had the best sound and feel. This drum kit is both an acoustic and an electronic drum kit. I purchased a Zildjian Alchem-E Gold EX kit. When I got home, I setup the kit and updated the firmware to the latest version. I setup the module and assigned Yamaha Recording Custom sounds to the toms and kick drum. A Ludwig Black Beauty for a Snare drum. I also created a Pearl Reference kit inside the module. Cymbals as Zildjian K Sweet and ride as a Zildjian Concept Sizzle Ride. I switch back and forth to Z Custom cymbals. The K Sweet and Z Custom cymbals sound so good. My friends and family say that the kit sounds amazing. The sound of the drums are fantastic. The cymbals sound, articulation, and feel are just like real cymbals, because they are real cymbals. I love this kit

Thanks for the great audio demonstration!

One of the biggest strengths of this kit is that normally live with edrums at certain volumes you hear a "thwack" on the cymbal pads, but the low volume style blends and is unobtrusive live
